that night i spent some time talking to Fez , ashtray stayed in his room.
i think Fez was trying to make me feel safer , or just more comfortable here because he was telling me stuff about him and asking about me , he's nice. and i like his voice. plus talking to an attractive guy i'll be staying with for who knows how long ? won't pass that up.
right now , i'm in a store that i recently found out he basically owns , "family business."
"$2.38" Fez spoke , to a random guy that was in here.
i wanted to know more about ashtray , just because i will be staying with him. but i didn't know how to go about it , and every time i'm around him i get so nervous.
"you alright ?" i heard Fez ask me.
"yeah." i nodded , looking up from my phone.
i heard the door open again , only this time i knew the person.
"mar ?" Rue spoke up , walking closer to me and Fez.
"y'all know each other ?" fez squinted his eyes , looking at the both of us.
i nodded , smiling at bit at how confused he was.
"y'all know each other ?" rue repeated his words.
i looked at fez , smiling a little at what rue said , and nodded.
"uh , yeah. she's staying with me and ash for a bit." he answered , giving me a look and then looking away.
rue raised her eyebrows , "why ?"
i looked at fez again , not knowing the answer to this.
"just.. she needs a place to stay." he nodded. that's not the real reason , i was fine at home.
"oh." she shrugged her shoulders , not asking anymore about it.
i listened to the two talk , as i was just sitting there.
"you can go back there , with ash." fez turned to me , pointing the the freezer.
i immediately got nervous , what do i say ??
"uhhh okay. sure." i nodded , standing up and slowly walking to the freezer.
i opened the door , ashtray head shot up.
"what are you doing ?" he asked , squinting his eyes as i stood there awkwardly.
"um , fez told me to come back here." i shrugged , looking at him , and around the room.
he just gave me a look , watching me stand there.
"sooo" i was trying to make small talk , and after i would ask more questions.
"what ?" he spoke , as i was inching closer.
"i don't know. um , what's your favorite color ?" i asked him a question , trying to get to know him.
he sighed , "grey."
i nodded , "do you only have one ?"
he nodded , "yours ?"
"my favorite color ? red and black." i answered , to which he nodded again.
"umm what's you're favorite thing to do ?" i didn't know what to ask , so i was asking the first thing that came to mind.
he furrowed his eyebrows , "i don't do anything."
"nothing at all ?" i asked , rolling my eyes.
"sell drugs." he said , i think being sarcastic.
"you sell drugs ?" i squinted my eyes , it wouldn't be MUCH of a surprise but he's still young.
"with fez." he answered , looking at me dead serious.
"oh. i thought you were joking." i shrugged my shoulders.
"so , how old are you ?" i asked a question i was actually wondering this time.
"15." he paused , "you ?"
"14." i answered , surprised that he was older than me , but it made sense i guess.
"are your tattoos real ?" i asked another question.
"how many questions are you gonna ask ?" he leaned back in his chair , putting his arms on the table.
"i'm trying to get to know the person i'm gonna be staying with." i squinted my eyes , like that was obvious.
"12." he ignored what i just said , answering my question.
"you were 12 ?!" i widened my eyes.
he just nodded , like it wasn't a big deal what so ever.
"who did it ?" i asked him.
"fez." he answered , maintaining eye contact.
i nodded , "do you know why i'm staying with you ?.." i was hoping he would tell me , since no one else will.
it was like his whole mood changed , he raised up a little and gave me a look. "no."
i squinted my eyes , knowing he was lying. but still just said "okay."
he was really intimidating , he kept eye contact anytime he's talking to someone , and he just is in general. eye contact is scary , and it makes me nervous. but i love it.
i looked away , getting nervous at how long i kept eye contact with him.
-
eventually, i ended up going back in the main part of the store , with fez. and rue , but she left soon after , "got things to do man." we're her exact words before leaving.
i think i was mostly scared about being with fez and ashtray , all day long , for 2 days. since it's the weekend , i don't have school.
but if i'm gonna be honest , it's not that bad.
