Soul Scent SALLY FACE (This Updated Half Way Through)📝📼

Lover (Dose)

Larry walks up to the front of the bowling Lane and grabs a bowling bowl, strobe lights and neon lines go across the whole bowling alley as the lights turn blue and wall designs turn green and pink.

Heatwave by YotClub plays in the background as bowling pins can be heard, Larry passes the ball through the lane and it bashes three pins.

Sal kicks his legs in his seat slightly, drinking the slushy I got him and he notices I was looking at him, smiling and getting up as he put the slushy down and went over to the lane, Sal misses two bowling pins but hey, it's better than Larry. Sal smiles and jumps up and down slightly, standing next to the bowling balls.

After a bit, my name shows on the screen. I stood up and moved the hair out of my face as I roll the ball down the alley, getting a strike the first time. Larry yells slightly "Oh come on! You must be cheating or something!"

The song fills the silence and plays as Sal laughs.
"I can see through the sky. The fish below me...They can't tell when they lie awake, at night" and then my mind snaps back to reality and I sit up, teasing Larry each time it was his turn on the lane. The song on the speaker changes, playing Cabo by Rick Montgomery.

I was drinking my slushy and putting my arm on the top of the seat, sort of hanging on Sal's shoulder as we laughed, not bothering to care how close we were to each other, Sal was laughing, leaning on me slightly while drinking his blue slushy and popcorn I was sharing.

~°"White hair and white shoes
Neoprene beached around a faded blue
Do what you can with me and do it quietly
As you do, as you do, as you do"°~

Sal and I stop laughing for a bit and he gets up for his turn, Larry sat next to me with a smug look on his face as I whisper yell to him "Oh for goodness sake Larry! Don't even think about it we barely know each other that much!" Larry chuckles "Yeah okay.."

After a good few hours of playing games and bowling, we all return our alley shoes and put our normal shoes back on. We then all started walking over to the movie theater.

Inside the movie theater, me and Sal shared popcorn like before, since we had popcorn at the bowling alley. We got a small one to share along with sour candies and soda. Sal sat next to me on my right, I was at the end of the row and Larry sat on Sal's right.

The movie starts and Sal whispers, messing with his shirt "I don't like horror movies.." Sal smiled weakly and continued to stare at the screen, I moved the armrest and put it down, putting my hand on it so Sal can hold the armrest with me when he got scared. I didn't know anything else to try to help him besides holding his hand but I would be awkward so the closest thing is holding the same small object as him.

Sal looks down at my hand as a scary scene shows, wrapping his arm around mine and holding the armrest.

I notice and try distracting him by telling him to name a color, this continued each scary scene, asking animals, plants, and family any simple questions. I continued to watch the movie as Sal slowly moved his arm off of mine.

After a good almost 2 hours, the three of us got up and threw everything away, half way through walking away from the horror movie room into the hallway, Sal asks for a number smiling. I smile and get awkward, giving him my number for later and as he continues to slowly walk I follow Larry.

We all started to head home on our separate ways at around 6 pm.

RATATOULLIETHENARRATOR: Sal smiles shyly at Travis as they wave bye to each other. Travis arrives home after some walking and sits at his kitchen counter, staring at the new number on his phone, Travis has had a few boys' and girls' numbers, but this one was different, this was a new person in his life, A new pathway to his feature.

Travis' hand hovers over "Message 'Sal ' " Travis feels a warmth radiating from his body. He clicks the icon and the keyboard shows, he then thinks, 'What to write?' Travis didn't know if Sal was still up, so he sent a simple message.

Sal was looking up at the ceiling as he slipped down onto his bed, canceling out the noise of his brother Larry chanting and listening to heavy metal.

Sal feels a vibration on his bedside table and almost falls off the bed, one leg and one arm off the bed as he gripped onto the bed sheet to not fall fully, Sal looks at the phone and sees it's a message from Travis.

Before he taps the banner, he thinks of what to write so he doesn't leave Travis on read for too long. He continued to stare at the "Nice bowling skills Sal :]"

Sal smiles slightly and messages back "Thanks Trav, Nice hair" As Sal sent the message he holds his phone and puts it down quickly, screens down onto the table.

Gizmo sassily walks into the room, meowing at Sal in a loud disappointing way. Sal's eyes turn over quickly to Gizmo as he throws a stuffed animal at Gizmo "Shut up you FAT -" Gizmo moves to the side as the stuffed animal hits his paw, tail swaying slightly as Sal finished his half-joking aggressive words "-Cheeto! I don't need you to tell me how bad that was!"

Gizmo jumps up at Sal's desk, knocking some things over as Sal groans in annoyance "Aww man...my guitar picks!..." Sal's voice was slightly cracky. He knew he wasn't going to get up and pick them up so he just closed his eyes and put his pillow over his face.

Travis looks at his phone and feels his upside-down smile trail onto his lips as he keeps his hand on his hair, bringing it down to his eyes and covering his face.
