Love is for Suckers

Chapter 4- Luca!!

Luca to the side!!!

"Come on let's go in there." Raven said pointing to a store called Sickly Sweet. Honestly how is this store not bankrupt yet? Luca and I both groaned as we stepped in the 5th store we've been to. He turned around silently trying to get away, but I grabbed his arm and literally yanked him in the store.

Raven, already was grazing through the hangers for a dress. She said she wanted a short but not too short red dress. I saw one on the hangers and pulled it out to see if it fit Raven's description. It was a dark red, a bit above the knee, sweetheart neckline, and lace. It was gorgeous. I grabbed it and showed it to her. She studied it and frowned a bit.

"What you don't like it?" I asked knitting my eyebrows together.

"Well it's gorgeous, but I want a bright vivant red. But I think it would look perfect for you to the concert." She said holding it up to my chest.

"Why can't I just wear what I have in my closet?" I asked stomping like a child.

"Real mature Skylie." Luca shouted.

"Have you seen your clothes." She kind of had a point. My wardrobe included The All American Rejects and ACDC band shirts, leather jackets, leather skinny jeans, tube tops, and combat boots. I went through a badgirl phase in high school. I even got a piercing on my eyebrow and lip, but I took them off.

"Okay fine I'll try it on." I said as she grabbed a black top out for herself. "By the way that top will look hideous on you." I said. She stuck her tongue out in response.

I took the dress with me into the change room. I slipped it on after stripping down. I hate to admit it, but Raven was right when she said it looked good on me. It made my waist look tiny, and it flared mid waist. I stepped out, and was greeted with Luca sitting there. He stared at me up and down.

"What do you think?" I said doing a little twirl.

"Cute." He said. Cute really?

"Wow buy that, Sky." Raven said appearing out of nowhere.

"I think I will. I'm going to pair it with a leather jacket." I said flattening the front of the dress.

Raven groaned. "Whatever! It's your social suicide." She yelled causing all the people in the store to stare,which was just the store checkout lady.

Rude much?

I turned back to Luca, but he was asleep on the store sofa. Aww! He's drooling. How adorable. Luca would totally kill me, but I took the risk.

I snapped a photo of him, and put it in my blackmail folder.

Yes, I have a blackmail folder. It's not weird. It helped me a lot in high school.  I got some nerd to do my homework because I caught a picture of him drooling while staring at Tiffany Beth.

Right when my phone clicked, Luca bolted in a sitting position. He noticed the phone in my hand and growled when I started clutching my stomach tightly because I was laughing so hard. He got up slowly with a murderous look on his face. I backed away slowly, but he kept on matching steps with me. Luca hated when people took pictures of him.

"Luca if you get any closer I'll send this to your sister. You know she'll post it all over Facebook." I said catching my breath. He nodded and let out sigh. Then all of a sudden Luca's murderous expression turned to a maniac one. He lunged for me, and I ran for my dear life clutching my phone to my chest. I would just delete the photo, but it's not that easy. Luca is extremely hurtful. When it was his 7th birthday he punched me because he thought I was a pinata. When I told him that was a lame excuse he kicked me right in the stomach. He laughed at me when all my lunch spilled out of me like a fountain. He kept on poking my cheek when I got my wisdom tooth out, and it was extremely painful.

He chased me around the store as I kept on yelling his name. Then a siren started wailing. I stood there confused until I realized I was outside the store still wearing the dang dress with the price tag. A security guard came and handcuffed me before I could say anything. I glared at Luca as he was trying to stifle a laugh. The security guard pulled me back to the store in front of the angry looking store clerk woman.

"I'm sorry. I got caught up in running away from a phsycothic boy that I didn't even remember I still had the dress on." I said.

"So you thought you were running naked." The security guard said laughing. How dumb could this guy be?

"No! I thought I was still in the clothes that I came in with." I said rolling my eyes. The security guard gave me a don't sass me look. "Sir." I added at the end.

I turned back to the sales clerk lady. "I swear I was going to buy it, and I still am if you'd let me." I said trying to get 25 dollars from my pocket, if my hands weren't cuffed.

Where the hell is Raven during all of this?

"Can you please uncuff me so I can get the 25 bucks?" I sharply asked the securit guard.

"How do I know you don't have a weapon on you?" He asked.

I was starting to get pissed and even the clerk sales lady was annoyed with his idiotic senses.

"I don't know why don't you find out?" I sassed.

"Just uncuff her! All I want is her to pay for the dress." She said scolding the mall security guard.

"Thank you miss. I'm sorry for my ignorance and childish behaviour." I said as the mall cop uncuffed  me.

"It's no problem. I saw the cute little boy chase you, I would run to." She said laughing and I laughed along  with her.

"I'll be going now ladies. I hope all is well." The security guard said as he walked off.

"Finally! He was so stupid I just wanted to slap him silly." The old sales clerk said which made me gasp at her bluntness. I started to like this old lady. After handing her the 25 bucks and her giving me a bag to put the dress in, I changed into what I was wearing earlier.

I walked out of the store and saw an amused Raven and a dying Luca on the coffee cart table across the store.

"Luca!" I shouted. His eyes widened and he looked scared. Well he should be. This little boy is going to wish he never messed with me.

I just stood there with a dangerous look in my eyes. I grabbed out my phone and went on to Facebook.  I had a lot of friends on Facebook, thank god. I posted the picture of Luca sleeping and another photo I had of him in his diapers when he was a baby. I made sure to tag him so his friends could see it to. Yes 7 year olds had Facebook.

I put my phone in the air so he could see what I was doing. He got up from his chair and started running to me. I clicked the post button. Oops.

I started laughing like a maniac, and I saw Raven laughing to, clutching a shopping bag to her chest. I walked over to her and sat down. Luca was staring off into space and was frozen in place. I always found his reaction so hilarious.

"What did you buy?" I asked eyeing the Sickly Sweet bag.

She pulled out a long nude colour dress that was made out of a beautiful material, the upper part had beige sparkly flowers. It was the complete opposite of the short red dress she wanted.

"Before you almost got arrested, Nina told me for an expensive dancing date I should dress in something elegant. So she pulled this out. Do you think Ryder would like it?" She asked for the first time looking actually nervous.

"Rave it's going to look gorgeous on you. Ryder would love it, and by the way who's Nina?" I said.

"The sales clerk lady. She's actually really nice." She said and I nodded in agreement. Before I could say anything, my phone rang. I sucked in my breath, when I noticed the contact name.

Noah Chadwick

"Skylar, it's your brother," said Raven worriedly.
