2 months after.
I smiled down at the card in my hand, taking out my wallet from my bag I spread it apart. Placing the card in the little transparent sleeve.
ring, ring, ring
"Jesse?" I say as I read the screen, pressing answer I place the phone next to my ear, "What's up?"
"Turn around."
I comply turning to my right.
"No, the other side."
I turn to the opposite direction.
"No, the other-"
"Jesse!" I look behind me as I hear him laugh, leaning against a sports car. "What are you doing here?" I press end on the call.
"Well...what do you think?" He saunters forward, turning his head slightly back.
"Nice ride..?"
He scowls at my reaction, "I haven't seen you in a while and that's all you're gonna say?"
"My brother, my best friend, you look amazing...your car is so cool." I show him my best smile before I hug him. "Was that better?"
He nods and ruffles my hair.
"Anyway get in. I have to show you something."
All humor left his face, my smile fading away. "Did something happen?" I scan his figure, no physical injuries.
"Don't worry, just come, yeah?"
I nod and get in the car, his figure moving to the driver side, the engine revving as he drove off.
The more speed the car had, the more I realized that we were headed in the direction of some wealthy neighborhoods. I could tell he realized my amazement when he chuckled and continued to sped off.
"Ya! You're drooling."
"No, I'm not!" Unconsciously, I wiped around my mouth. "What are we doing here anyway?"
The car stopped at an entrance, the house —no, mansion— was beyond anything I had seen before, the garden was beautiful and the driveway was full of luxurious cars.
I didn't notice when Jesse got out, but he was standing in front of the passenger side with the door wide open, guiding me out. "We live here."
I stood, turning to look at him. "Mighty Warriors?"
He nodded as he turned his attention to me then back to the house, headed toward the door. "Come on."
I followed behind him. My eyes glancing everywhere as we entered, I stopped upon seeing them in front, lounging around the expensive-looking couches.
