My dad had just made it home and rushed me to go get dressed for the dinner. I complied and went upstairs and searched for comfy clothes all while keeping my friends updated.
I found a sweater and some sweatpants and made my way back downstairs. I could here the rustling from the staircase as My step mom frantically laid out the dishes and food. As I made my way to the table my sister joined me.
As the food was laid out there was a knock on the door. My dad ran over to open it and in came an unfamiliar face. I just buried my face in my phone and tuned into my music.
As I sat I felt a presence to my left which I assumed to be my dad or step mom.
Right away I knew I was wrong as I inhaled a strong cologne. I looked up and immediately met eyes with the guy beside me. I realized he was trying to tell me something so I took my air pods out.

"Hey, I'm Romeo." I could hear it in the way he rolled his R that he was Italian. Something about it was slightly addicting.

"I'm Y/n." I gave a shy smile.

"So what do you do for fun around here?"

"I mean I just go to school but I can show you around if you'd like?"

"Sure, tomorrow? Or right now?" He gave a mesmerizing smile. His pearly white teeth glistening practically blinding me. I just gave him a worried face. "Oh come on your not scared are you? What could they possibly do?" He said in a very convincing but soft tone.

Our plan was interrupted by the sound of clanking spoons. He glanced over at me then put on an entirely different expression. "I think I need to go to the bathroom. " I tried to hold in my laugh at the bad acting. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my thigh as he got up. Then the realization hit me. "I'll show you."
I followed him before anyone could interfere. There was a hallway towards the bathroom that crossed the front door. He made his way towards the front door. I looked back before being doing the same. I took my key off the hook. He slowly turned the knob trying to make as little noise as possible. He opened it and we practically ran out as if we were being freed from a jail of some sort.

I locked the door and took a breath before walking up the street. I loved to walk at night anyway now I had a partner. I texted my friends about the little adventure then put my phone away.
We started talking and getting to know each other as we turned the corner to a two way street. Now that we were standing I could see that he practically towered over me. His blue eyes peered down at me. The tattoo on his neck caught my eye as he turned his head while we crossed the street.

Cars were still coming but we couldn't wait

Cars were still coming but we couldn't wait. He grabbed my hand and we ran across the street while getting honked at. We laughed it off as we made it to the other side.

"You know your actual really fun for a stranger." I laughed.

"You too. I'm surprised you followed through I mean you just met me." I didn't know what we were doing but it was damn sure better than sitting in that house all day.

"Yea I like little adventures like this though I just never have anyone to do them with."

"Well now you have me." He gave a short smile then looked ahead. I observed the side of his face as he walked. I snapped a picture of him and posted it to my close friends.

His hair fell perfectly to his aura. "There." I pointed to my favorite store. It was always open at night. "I love that place." We came to another street with cars racing through. We gave each other a smile and ran for it to the store.

We practically fell into the door way.
