Midnight Lovers

Chapter 1: Rosemary Jade

I lay across my bed with my bedroom window open. Feeling the breeze flow through my room, sliding across my skin as the sun kisses it and warms my skin at the same time. My favorite music is playing in the background. 'It's so peaceful' I hum to myself.

Sitting up I take a deep breath and look over at the clock, the time letting me know I have class in an hour. I finally got up and got ready for class. I already have my jeans on, so I put on a sage green top that stops right above my belly button. I don't have to worry about my hair since Nyx gave me some cute knotless braids over the weekend. So peaceful, it's nice-

"HEY, how many TIMES DO I have to tell you to stay OUT of my FUCKING bubble DOMINIC!?" Nyx screams. I'm sure she hit him a few times. These two never stop fighting I swear. 

I shake my head as I slip on my shoes, grab my things and close my window. Those two are always arguing. At first, i thought they had a crush on each other but she quickly shut that down letting me know she'd never date someone who's 'fucking stupid' and 'clearly doesn't know what a bar of soap is'. 

I leave my room and walk into the kitchen to grab a strawberry smoothie that Max always makes in the morning for all of us. He's so sweet.

"Morning guys!" I shouted over their screaming match. It's literally 8 in the morning. 

Nyx whips her head around and grins at me. "Hey cutie!"

"Sup rose?" Dominic mumbles and nods his head at me

I shake my head and laugh a little. "Do you guys have classes today?" I wonder and stare between the both of them. Nyx shakes her head and turns back to whatever she's cooking on the stove.

"All I have to do is meet with my art teacher about a project we're starting soon" She states

I nod and look over at Dominic, who's already been staring at me, for his answer. He finally snaps out of it when he meets my eyes.

"Oh um yeah I have class in a few, do you need a ride?" He mumbles as his face turns pink. He looks away, probably looking for his keys.

"Sure, do you think afterward you can drop me off a-" I trail off

I look over at Nyx who's trying not to laugh. I'm confused, what's wrong with him? 

"Why did he just walk out in the middle of me talking?" I ask her

She laughs and I mean laughs. "Oh babe" She wipes her eyes and slaps her hand on my shoulder.

"He probably went to go pray to god to ask why you don't notice him or jack off." I slap her hand away and put my cup in the sink.

"I do notice him. Who wouldn't?" I lean against the counter and look at her. "He's like a giant and he always smells like dirt after practice."

Nyx just smiles and looks at me weird.

"You're telling me you haven't noticed that he has a crush on you?" She whispers

I look at her like she's grown two heads and shake my head quickly. Mouth wide I glare at Max who snickers in the corner of the kitchen. 

"No, I didn't kno-

"Does he even know you're a coochie queen Rose?" She questions me.

"No, but I feel like I shouldn't have to come out to everyone and their grandma like it's a headline story on the news" I mumble and look down at my shoes.

She sighs and rubs my arm. "That's true. If he ever admits it just let him down easy. I'd hate to have to use all our knowledge from the dateline channel to kill him."
