Trick or Treat

Thank you for letting me know you can see part 23. :D

Part Twenty-Seven

Sang's POV

School had passed too slowly for me this week. I was so looking forward to trick or treating with the others and then going onto the dance that the school was putting on.

Mr Blackbourne and Dr Green were part of the team of teachers supervising and I was glad to know that they'd be there.

We were going home after school to Nathan's where Gabriel was going to help everyone dress. No one would tell me what the others were wearing, although I knew that Luke, Nathan and Kota were dressed as skeletons.

I had tried to get the others to tell me but Gabriel was insistent that I couldn't know until the evening.

After what seemed like forever Friday rolled around, school was over and I was finally dressed in my costume. I was sitting on the bed with Gabriel on his knees in front of me. He was using black eyeliner on my eyes and he'd painted my lips black and my fingernails bright green.

"You look evil," he remarked as he drew a web out from the corner of my eye complete with a spider in the middle.

"I feel it," I laughed. "But we can't blacken out my front teeth?" I asked squinting into the mirror. He grimaced and shook his head as he added blood red sticky gems for the spiders eyes.

"No blackened out teeth and no warts," he insisted and I laughed as he stepped back and I could see the work of art he'd completed on my face.

"Wow, you're fabulous." I turned my head this way and that. He had transformed me, but somehow, even with black lips and a spider crouched on my face it looked sophisticated somehow. The black eyeliner had given me an exotic look, bringing out the green in my eyes.

"Now stay here while I get everyone else ready and no peeking!" he warned as he dropped a kiss on top of my head and went towards the bedroom door.

He went out and I stood up to get my hat. I stuck it onto my head feeling so excited. The door opened and Luke came in. He has his skeleton costume on without the face mask and I giggled.

"Gabe has sent me in to keep you out of mischief," he winked at me and indicated with his fingers for me to spin for him.

I obliged and in my heeled boots I felt fantastic.

"Beautiful," he murmured and came towards me.

"You look great!" I told him and ran a hand over the ribs that were painted white on the black background of his all in one.

"If you turn out the light they glow," he laughed and switched out the light. I could see how all the bones on the outfit glowed a pale yellow.

"Ooh, spooky," I giggled and he flipped the light back on and stepped towards me.

"Does Kota's and Nathan's glow too?" I asked and he nodded, his head tilted to one side.

"Is that lipstick?" he asked and reached up a finger to touch my black lips.

I nodded and reached up my hand to grip his fingers.

"I've been thinking," he said quietly and stepped closer to me. "I know how I want our first kiss to be."

"Yes?" I watched as his eyes darkened

"I thought it had to be on a date somewhere, or at the Diner but I realised all I needed was for you to be there. I know that you've kissed some of the others and I need you to know that I'm fine with that. I need you to know that I love you. You don't have to kiss me yet; you don't have to do anything you're not ready for. I will wait for you for as long as it takes, Sang. I can wait for as long as you need....."
