Fused

Chapter 2

I grabbed my purse and proceeded downstairs. We then sped off to the town Centre. There we met Rhesa's best friends, Ellie Ronald and Lauren Anthony. They were both easy to the eyes. I liked Lauren, she was like another sister to me, she was quiet but had a cool vibe going on. As for Ellie, she was a proud stuck up bitch who was part of the rich squad. Her outfits probably cost more than our car and she just had to open her big mouth and let everybody know about it. It was no secret that behind the scenes she was a loose girl who spent majority of her spare time screwing every Tom, Dick and harry. I really don't know why Rhesa kept her around.

I said hi to them then proceeded to take a taxi heading to a popular café in town where I was meeting my close friends, Shannon Lewis and Delilah Seamus for breakfast. An ear to ear smile appeared on my face as soon as I saw the both of them looking at a couple seated to their right who were all at it with the PDA with revulsion. I fought back the urge to burst into laughter. It really was nasty. They both looked gorgeous as always. Shannon wore a little black dress, a purple cardigan, and black heels. Delilah wore a black crop top, denim jeans with an army jacket and black boots. It was casual Friday and we were all dressed to impress.

Shannon is a very interesting character. She had a cheerful, bubbly, crazy and ladylike personality all at the same time. Delilah has a joyous personality and she always sees the bright side of everything no matter the circumstances. I had known these two girls for over 5 years and I loved them to death. I hugged both of them and we settled down on our table. A waiter then took our order. The restaurant was full of so much commotion. There were multitudes of people making so much noise that their voices literally bounced off the white walls of the room. Apparently, we had chosen the wrong day to meet here seeing as an event was going on there. "You guys, today is Darren's birthday. It's been so long since all three of us had a girl's night out, why don't we go to Club Hazard tonight, "Delilah said, excitement gleaming in her eyes. Darren's her boyfriend; he's actually a nice guy, the joker in our squad. I mean the guy is hilarious. "I know right?" "That's an awesome idea. Sounds like a plan." Shannon and I agreed unanimously. I smiled broadly, I was genuinely excited. It really had been long and I needed to let go and unwind. After glancing at the clock hang behind our table for what seemed like the millionth time, I started to get impatient. "Where the hell is the food? We've been waiting here for over an hour. Argh!" I bellowed at my best friends. "They're probably just in the back sipping on some wine while we wait here doing nothing," Shannon deadpanned." "Stupid bitch," I gritted my teeth and rolled my eyes. She burst into laughter. Not amused, I decided to go outside and get some fresh air. I left the main building and began to head over to the vending machine, I didn't get to have breakfast so my stomach was grumbling. My patience had run out and I was not going to wait for those waiters to bring our food. They were already late as it is.  Suddenly, out of the blues, papers and files were all over the place as soon as I came into contact with what I thought was a wall. "Damn it!" I rasped, "Can't you 'watch where you're walking! People these days. Ugh!" The stranger began to pick up his papers and as soon as the stranger who nearly knocked me over stood up I drew an audible shuddery breathe. The guy screamed sex appeal. He was tall and broad-shouldered with a well-defined body. Hell, I even caught a glimpse of his glorious abs through his white shirt. He had a mop of mahogany brown hair. A few strands fell across his light skinned face, and pale curious colored eyes gleamed at me. He had a strong and firm jaw which defined his face and a sloping nose which was slightly crooked. I was busy ogling him when his eyes connected to mine and a smirk appeared to his lips, "You're the one who bumped into me" That brought me out of my trance. I felt my blood boil and anger filled my throat "Are you nuts? You're the one who bumped into me. What if I got hurt? Why can't you swallow your pride and apologize? Are you that arrogant?" I gnashed as I picked my rucksack of the ground. His eyes softened and I saw a flash of guilt through them. "Hey calm down, "he paused shortly, "I'm sorry I'm just having a bad day. Let me make it up to you sometime? I'm Tyler Lacoste" he smiled at me. This guy must have been nuts. It's never that easy. "Stop bullshitting me. I don't even know you." I said coldly. "Well, then let me get to know you. Who knows, this may be the beginning of a great friendship." He cocked his head and smiled at me; his eyes gleaming with the dimples and all. That did it for me and I gave in. "Okay, okay" He asked me to give him my phone which I did unwillingly. What if he ran away with it? I swear all this paranoia was probably due to watching too much criminal minds. He typed in his number and handed it back to me. I was relieved on the inside. "Call me, "he said with a boyish grin and walked off. I stood there for a few minutes trying to comprehend what just happened. I even forgot I was hungry and walked back into the café to tell my besties the good news. "He likes you," Shannon said excitedly. "Heh! Why would he like someone he doesn't know?" I shrugged.  "cause you're behind is a killer," Delilah humored. We all burst into laughter at how she made a reference to one of my favorite songs. After a few minutes, our food finally arrived. I dug into it savoring the taste of the mouthwatering food. "You look like a hungry animal. Take it easy on the food, "Shannon chuckled. "Didn't you know that a hungry man is an angry man? In this case I'm the man." I asked innocently. They both burst into laughter. "That was so irrelevant you fool, "Delilah giggled.
