Magic As A Whole

Chapter 6

It was date night, and I had no idea where Dylan was taking me. Like not a clue, only thing he told me was to 'dress nice' which could me anything really. "Gosh I wish Henley was still here," I mutter glancing at myself in the mirror while I twisted my hair up into an up do with some of my bangs falling in my face.

"This would be so much easier if I had a girl friend to help me with" I mutter again going to do my make up which was as little as possible because I didn't prefer to wear much at all.

Once I was done I had put on a simple dress that I felt was nice, and left my room only for Jack, Merritt and Daniel to be sitting on the couch in Daniel and my apartment watching something on the TV only for their attention to snap to me when I came out.

"What?" I ask them and they glance at each other having some conversation with their eyes before looking back at me.

"Nothing, we were just wondering when you were going?" Merritt says casually making me think they were up to something.

"Dylan said he would be here within the next few minutes," I say slowly and cautiously. "Do you guys have something you're doing while I'm out?" I ask them grabbing my purse as well as my jacket.

"Nope, we are just going to be here watching movies and stuff" Jack says though he seems a bit uncomfortable with saying it so maybe he's lying.

"Right, anything in particular you were going to watch?" I ask only for someone to knock at the door and I hear a sigh of relief from the three of them as I go to open the door.

"Dylan!" I say happily wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug as his arm goes around my waist peeking inside.

"I didn't know Merritt and Jack were going to be hanging out with Daniel while we went out" Dylan says and I shrug.

"Same, it's a bit interesting why they are hanging out seeing as Daniel tends to want to stay solitary most of the time" I say kissing Dylan's cheek, "enough about them let's get going" I say childishly making Dylan laugh.

"We'll be back in 3 hours at the most!" Dylan yells out to the guys.

While we were walking to the place where we were having our date, which I still didn't know seeing as Dylan wouldn't tell me, "C'mon please!" I say with a pout tugging Dylan's arm playfully until he wraps his arm around my shoulder but interlacing out fingers.

"Still not going to tell you Harmony, you'll have to wait," he says with a chuckle knowing I hated not knowing where we would be going.

"Fine" I mutter curling into his side as we walk but feeling a bit cautious as if eyes were watching me, "do you feel like someone is watching or is it just me?" I ask Dylan softly and he slightly stands straighter as we walk.

"No, I feel them too, and I doubt it's the Eye watching us" Dylan whispers back and I bite my lower lip.

"You don't think the guys would spy on us do you? They were acting kind of weird when we left" I suggest and Dylan seems to think a bit before nodding.

"Could be, but enough of that we are here" Dylan says as we come to this more casual place and I was thankful I didn't dress up way too much.

"It's perfect" I say happily as Dylan leads me to a table pulling out my chair and sitting across from me grabbing my hand across the table.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

A few minutes later I feel the same thing of someone watching me and try to glance around without so much as glancing spotting a suspicious someone who looked to be in a terrible disguise and I try not to laugh catching Dylan's attention.

"What?" he asks and I bite my lip.

"3'oclock" I say and Dylan glances without moving his head, "I think its Merritt" I whisper and he nods.

"Ignore them, we can deal with them later" he tells me and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"How much trouble are they going to get into for this?" I ask knowing that not only were they going to be in trouble with Dylan but also I'm going to be unhappy with them for a while.

"We can beat them back to the apartment when we leave" Dylan says and I nod.

Once we were done with our meal still noting that Merritt was where he was and taking notice that Jack and Daniel were also there but in different corners of the restaurant that we were able to pay and leave.

Of course we made it back before the three of them were back so we had been waiting for a good 10 minutes before they all arrived acting like they went to get something from the store.

"Right so you went to the store, got to the store, then didn't buy anything at the store?" I ask arms crossed over my chest with an 'I'm not impressed' look on my face and Jack looks at me sheepishly.

"We may have had a detour and wound up somewhere else" Merritt tries to explain and I just shake my head.

"First of all you guys suck at being stealthy, second your disguises were really bad," I say to them, "and three if you wanted to know what we were doing why didn't you just ask instead of spy on us?"

"We...we uh...We just wanted to make sure you wouldn't be recognized" Danny says stumbling for an excuse.

"Mmmhmm sure you were, Daniel, Dylan and I can take care of ourselves," I say to Daniel.

"And I wouldn't have let her get caught, I know that the FBI wouldn't have checked around that area so that's why I took her there, you know I wouldn't risk any of you in that way." Dylan says.

"Can't help that we haven't go anything to do!" Danny says after a bit of silence. "We've been stuck in hiding for a while, and you keep saying..."

"The Eye has a plan and that you need to wait" Dylan says finishing Danny's sentence.

"Yeah, how much longer is that going to be?" Danny says, "Because we've already lost Henley because we haven't been able to do anything"

"And I'm sure that we will be fine Danny" I say softly knowing Henley was a sore spot to all of us right now, "The Eye wants us to lay low so they can find someone else that is doing wrong in the world so we can expose them or maybe more than one the next time" I tell him softly and he sigh before nodding.

"Alright, just we were worried something could happen," he says and I roll my eyes.

"Dylan would probably blow his cover for me at this point" I say while Dylan wraps his arms around my waist pulling me to him. "So I don't think you should be worrying right now Danny"

"Right, well if you don't mind me and Jack will be going back to our apartment, you joining Daniel?" Merritt says then asks Danny who just nods probably not wanting to be in the same area as Dylan and me due to us being all couply at the moment.

"USE PROTECTION!" Merritt yells out while he leaves causing me and Dylan to blush and cough in disbelief that he would say that out loud.
