Told By Us (Completed)

Ailani

After my piano lesson Sunday afternoon, my mother and father went to the opera and left me alone. I was an only child. Well some what, my older brother, Max, had went to the military six months ago. It was his second time going back after the explosion in Syria. He made it out alive, but he came back for his friend's funeral.

He once told me that it wasn't a good thing to make friend's in the military, because you'd just end up losing them. I didn't think that was the case for everybody. Some how it seem like the color had faded from his eyes. It was terrible.

My phone rang the ring tone of my favorite song.

"I know you say
That you don't like it complicated
That we should try to keep it simple
But love is never ever simple, no."

I let it play because One direction's cloud song, is like the best song ever. I answered it before it went silent.

" Hey, Myah."

" Hey girl what took you so long to answer the phone. Were you listening to Niall again?"

" What no. Plus he's not the only one in One direction."

" Sure Miss, gotta have my daily dose of the bands."

" Oh please your the quirky one. You probably listen to all the stupid stuff. Why did you call me anyway!"

" Well I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date with this hot guy."

" No."

" Wait, what you didn't even let me finish."

" I don't have to let you finish, your trying to get something from him. And I will not be the one who helps you get it. Ask Jamie."

" Oh come on! You know Jamie's into Ben. Besides I really need you! Pleaseeeeeee

She pleaded. And then begged. And then pleaded some more. It was so hard to say no. I was so kind and innocent you know. But also very modest. I agreed to her terms. She wouldn't tell me what he was going to give her if I went out with him. I do know however that whatever it is better be good!

She told me to meet him at the Blue room. Obviously, everyone in town knew that the Blue room was a club. So, I went around back and a guy name Al let me in. It was my first time ever there and well, it was blue inside. The lights, the wall, and even some of the drinks.

   I went specifically to table seven on the left side of the club a wall in the middle, separating god knows what. On the other side people danced. Some made-out. I almost throw-up. When I sat at table seven I waited.

   It was five minutes later when a guy came and sat down at the table. He seemed about 5'9 and had hazel colored eyes. His hair was in dreads. Long dreads.His skin complexion was a light caramel.

" Not bad for the African American community," I thought.

He gave me a fixed look. I was still in my thoughts before I could say anything.

  " Are you Ailani?" He asked. He had deep, British accent. That was even better.

  " Huh. Oh me yes, I'm Ailani. And you are." I extended my hand. Even though he could have been a creep it wouldn't have hurt to be polite. He shook it.
