Heroine (Manjiro Sano Ambw)

Chapter Seven

Stephanie's Pov
Her voice could go on and on, her scolding had been none stop, for not just one day, two whole days. I very very much knew this was coming keeping my friendship with two guys hidden from her, along side her finding my new friends, I of course was smart and left out the single detail about the gang.

I wasn't a idiot, who would mention that one details about their friends, of course she didn't really apologize to me after assuming I was having a threeway in my room. And even called Joshua freaking out like she always did when she was doing too much.

"Their names are Draken and Mikey, I've been friends with them for three months now and they are really kind to me, that's all it is mom. I don't have a secret boyfriend." I groaned quietly into my open palm wanting to laugh so much. I just wanted a normally dinner, with her actually being home.

"Stephanie I'm just saying you were suppose to be at school, I don't mind you having friends. I'm glad that you have some. Just be smart and safe." I felt her pat at my back causing me to grumble a little watching her walk passed me to the stove, if she knew what they did, her reaction would be totally different.

I noticed one thing the marks on her neck. I held back the loudest groan now her late night shifts makes sense. I guess old habits never die do they mom? Her old work habits of sleeping with her single bosses. She told me she stopped that. Right right Steph said you were gonna stop judging its none of my business.

I stood up pushing in the chair to the table heading to my bedroom. I wasn't halfway through my bedroom when my phone was going off. I dive face flat onto the bed scooping up my phone. "Hello." I spoke groaning quietly.

"Hey girly you think you could sneak out tonight?" I fluttered my eyes a few times listening to his voice closely. I couldn't hear Mikey so I was taken back.

"Where's Mikey?" I muttered after a while holding back a small yawn.

"Taking care of Emma for the night, Takemichi is with Hinata." I whined quietly but why not. Needed a break from the pounding headache.

"Give me like a quick hour."

"You know you didn't have to buy me all this food Draken, seems like you are trying to buy my love." The little joke left me quietly shaking with laughter sipping from the soda, a breathlessly chuckle left the tall male, his hands shoved roughly into his pocket shorts the breeze blowing through his loose braid.

"Nah it's no problem after you told me about how your meds surpass your appetite I just felt like I had to be the one feeding you when you feed us." I chuckled some more looking ahead seeing the both of us were taking the trip down the path near the usual hang meetings.

"Well I appreciate it really, I sometimes am so caught up with everything." I tossed the empty can into the trash bin, the little sights of all the fireflies floating around. I took a glance at him seeing he looked to be in a lot of thought.

"Steph how do you feel about Mikey?" I was a little taken back by his question, swinging the convenience store bag some more round and round, as I thought it over.

"Well he is really cute, very outgoing and cares about others. He's one of my best friends." I smiled a little just thinking about him. "He's kinda reckless, but means well. Anyone would be lucky to have him." I sort of held my breath as I said those  words. Before I shook my head quickly for a moment, I then nudged Draken with a chuckle.

"You know what do you think about Emma?" I questioned the hardest snort left the male as he looked a little uneasy to talk about it.

"She's a sweet girl, always been around, just don't think my best friend would ever want me to actually date his sister." A laugh left me knowing what he meant, kinda a messy situation. He plopped down on the stone bench resting his head back while I stood in front of him.

"The reason I've been asking about Mikey a lot of the time is. I wanna get a better grip of what you two are." I hummed slowly in content.

"Three months ago my two female friends were gushing over him, and I didn't think he knew a single thing about me. I went from judging him to understanding. It's a flawed habit I do, judging without knowing which I have to work on. I always want Mikey close I..." My words paused for a moment fluttering my eyes, feeling his eyes on me.

"It's really hard to explain actually." I felt nervous for some reason. Cause my thoughts of Mikey changed every now and then.

"I hope you can forgive me one day." I stared at him or a moment confused, with a quick motion he tugged me forward towards him, his expression unreadable.

 

I propped my hands out quickly to stop the fall that happened in a blink of an eye pressure was applied to my lips, my eyes widen when I realized I was kissing him, or perhaps the other way around, he was very much kissing me, and I kissed back, feeling him bring me into his lap.
