What Love Does Is Up To You..

Chapter 8

What do you wear to an interrogation? Its half past 2, and the drive to Carrtryt Mall is taking longer than usual and my nerves are getting the best of me. Before leaving the house I stared at my reflection in the full length mirror in my bedroom. I had settled on a short, white dress accessoried with a black waist belt and white Tommies. My shoulder length hair swayed around my face forcing my white head band forward. I was totally ready for this.

I found a parking space near the entrance, as i got out i heard my phone ringing. I dove back into the far searching for my black and white Gucci handbag. I ripped the zipper open and retrieved my phone.

"Hello?" i asked

"Meet me in the arcade, don't forget to change your coins into tokens."

The line went dead. I check my call log : Sage.

I started toward the CarrTryt. Arcade remembering to change my coins into tokens. After making the change, i stepped away from the counter. Taking in the room on game at a time, where would i find this guy?

Then i saw him, riding the motorcycle. He wore black shorts that hung just below his knees, black sneakers that were tied with green laces and a lumo green shirt. I was taken aback at his fashion choice. So risky, i loved it.

"Need tokens?" i asked handing him then 12tokens i had bought.

He hopped off the bike and came in for a hug.

"Hey, you look pretty in white," he said with a smile. I hadn't realized that he had taken his snap-back off when he had addressed me.

"Thanks," I blushed, "my favorite colour is green," stupid answer!

"thanks?" he laughed seeming unsure of the compliment, " You wanted to see me, boss?"

i laughed, " you were right about John, why didn't you tell me-"

"Look, girls don't deserve to be played around for money," he said, his face turned serious," you don't deserve that treatment."

When i never spoke he continued, " Al and Daniel, they're a match made in heaven, they seem like they're meant to be."

"But he called her easy, he totally demolished her name!"

"Think about it, Paige, would he trash her name if he didn't have a crush on her?" he said. I suppose he was right, I've always thought guys were like that : hate on the one the love, but here was proof.

"Katiya said she dumped you," i blurted out, regretting it right after. I tried to fix my words, " I mean, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that, i did but i don't mean to pry, I'm just ask-" nothing seemed to come out right.

"Yeah she broke up with me," he said nothing more and I didn't push him to talk.

"Do you need a hug?" I asked, smiling stupidly.

He laughed that long, husky laugh that made me laugh too, and he said, " i could go for a hug!"

He embraced me in a hug, "this is a start of a strange friendship," he said.

"Who says stuff like that?" i shoved him to the side.

"I'm starving," he groaned, " lets grab a bite, on me."

"Sounds delish," I said as we strolled out of the Arcade towards the foodcourt.
