It had been a few days since Angela and Nico had returned from their trip to see the council. They all had gone hunting, leaving me behind in the mansion. I laid their motionless my arms folded behind my head as I lay awake. The only time I stirred was when I heard my phone vibrate. I picked it up, glancing quickly at the caller I.D. and unfamiliar number appeared and I answered
"Go for Dom." I said hearing a faint giggle on the opposite end of the line followed by a recognizable voice.
"Go for Dom?" The females voice questioned once I realized who it was I sat up and smiled. She let out a soft laugh as She cleared her throat. I smiled faintly more like my lips pulled into a huge grin.
"Hey Bunny, What's up?" I asked her as I heard that familiar giggle again. I chuckled a bit before laying back down.
"Nothing much. I was asking did you want to catch a movie?" She asked.
"Uh sure. See ya in ten?" I asked and she replied with a simple 'Mhm.' I hung up and hopped up from my bed. I went to my closet before grabbing my varsity jacket and quickly headed outside. I looked around before taking off toward the theater. I arrived on the corner and came to an abrupt stop as I walked the sidewalk to wait outside. My hands stowed into my pockets as I looked around. Moments later I felt arms wrap around me from behind and chuckle.
"Hey there Hunny." A voice sounded. I turned and wrapped my arms around her and smiled. Moani Makepa, best friend for almost twelve years. I smiled down at her as I hugged her and chuckled. Her heart shaped face framed by a head full of cocoa brown hair her rounded eyes were a brownish green color almost hazel. She wore a loose grey hoodie and a pair of black skinny jeans that seemed to fit her perfectly. Her sun kissed complexion held the faintest color of pink in hers cheeks.
"So what are we going to see?" I asked as we walked up to the ticket counter. She tapped her chin and thought about it. Her fingernails had to have been freshly painted, as I could still smell the lingering sent of polish. Black to be exact.
"Dom, they're showing a re-run of 1D: This is Us, can we see that?" She asked like a child would at the sight of candy. I sighed and shook my head before paying for the tickets.
"It's only because I love you why I'm sitting through this torture fest." I grumbled faintly as we walked inside. She gave a huge grin as she placed her finger to her dimples and walked ahead of me. "Want anything from the concession stand?" I asked as she shook heard head. I rolled my eyes before ordering a box of Nerds candies and a small box of popcorn.
"So word around school is that you're dating Angela VanHalen." She finally said as we walked into the theater. We searched for our seats for a moment before we decided on the seats further to the top.
"Yup kind of happened a couple weeks ago." I responded before taking a seat and smiled at her. I leaned back against the seat as we waited for the movie to start.
"And why am I only hearing about this now?" She asked with a more quizzical look appearing on her face. I hung my head and shook it a bit my hair shaking from side to side.
"Because I know how you are with any girls that I've dated." I replied simply with a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips.
"And you're not any worse with the people I've dated?" She retorted and I pondered the thought for a moment as I sat there and she laid her head on my shoulder.
"You have a point and I apologize." I said as the movie began and I relaxed, preparing for my oncoming torture.
~~~~~~~
The movie dragged on for about another hour and thirty minutes before Ani's fangirling over Harry woke me from my light sleep. I chuckled and sat up seeing that my Nerds and popcorn were already finished. I chuckled looking at the brown haired who was giggling madly as the movie began to come to an end. I shook my head before standing and held my arm out to her. "Shall we?" I asked her as she stood up, pushing my arm away and gave me her familiar twisted grin.
"Come on." She said before we walked out the doors. I felt the cool autumn air dance across my skin. We stood there before she looked up to me with a tilt of her head. "Walk me home?" She asked and I nodded before I stowed my hands in my pockets and walked down the street beside her. She pulled on my arm wrapping her arms around it as we walked down a familiar street. My eyes had already adjusted to the darkness that was coming over, following the departure of the evening sun.
"This was fun." I finally said breaking the momentary silence as we turned on to her block. I smiled faintly as she nodded in agreement. "Get upstairs before Kena comes down here looking for you." I chuckled as she let go of my arm. She stood on her tip toes and kissed my cheek.
"Yeah. I'm older yet she treats me like I’m the little sister." She gave a soft laugh before making her way to the door of their house. My arms folded behind my back as she disappeared into the house. The lights flicked on and I heard another Female voice.
"HI DOM!" The voice sounded and I was gone in an instant.
~~~~~~~~
I arrived back at the manor to see an angry Angela waiting on the porch. "Where have you been?" She asked through gritted teeth and I smiled at her before moving to stand in front of her.
"I went out to the movies with Ani." I replied as I rested my hands on her waist. Her eyes narrowed as she looked down at me as she stood on the step above where I was.
"Why?" She asked a slight snarl escaping her vocals.
"I was just hanging with a friend of mine, baby. I swear it. She called and asked to hang out and I agreed." I said before kissing her cheek softly as I pulled her off the top stair.
"You should've at least called." She pulled away, turning to march up the stairs her arms folded across her chest and I sighed shaking my head.
"Next time I'll make sure I do that." I rolled my eyes following her up the stairs. My arms in my pockets as I made my way into the house. Ciara and Nico stood in the kitchen whispering as if I couldn't hear them. "I can still hear you." I mumbled as I turned toward the stairs heading to the room. Angela sat down on the couch as I made my way upstairs. I could tell from the look on her face she was furious but I shrugged it off. Making my way up the stairs. I needed some time alone for a bit.
