The Darkness Inside

Ch:18

After I got out of the shower I put on my new clothes I picked out and I walked back into the bedroom. Mikayla asked "can I use your make-up"? I said "sure you dont have to ask". I grabbed a blow dryer and started to dry my hair.

When it finally dried I krimped it so that it was really wavey. I made sure the right color hair was on the correct side of my head. After I finished doing that I grabbed my make-up and I traced over the faded make-up that Chris did. I was going to remember how to do this because this was amazing make-up.

Mikayla asked "are they all nice"? I said "I havent met his friends yet, but judgeing how he acts around me it seems like his friends will be nice too". She said "I'm nervous". I said "well I'm dating him...I need to make a good impression on his friends, I'm the one who should be nervous, but I'm trying not to be". Mikayla said "well I just hope I get along with them".

I said "well lets go". We walked out of my apartment and we walked to T.J.'s car. We got in and I turned the car on. I got out my cellphone and I read the text that had the address on it. I put the address into the GPS then I pulled out onto the road. I followed the directions that the GPS gave me and I got more and more nervous as I drove closer to the house.

Mikayla said "try to calm down, I can hear your heart beating from over here". I laughed and said "what if they dont like me". Mikayla said "they will love you, you are nice and very pretty". I asked "what if they judge me because of my hair"? She laughed as she said "well however Chris dresses is probably how the rest of the guys dress".

I breathed a sigh of relief as I drove. I seen the mansion so I said "we should be pretty close". The GPS said "you have reached your destination" so I stopped the car and I looked around. I looked for the house number then I spotted it. I got out of the car and Mikayla did the same.

While we walked up to the house I said "the house looks really nice". Mikayla nodded in agreement. I also said "and I dont think this is Chris's house, I think it's one of his friends". Mikayla and I stopped at the front door and I said "ok, this is it, get ready to go in". I knocked on the door and a guy answered. He said "you must be Chris's girlfriend, he said you were coming". I smiled and said "yep, thats me, and this is my friend Mikayla".

The guy smiled and said "you both are beautiful, come on in". As we walked in he turned towards me and he said "I like your hair, great choice of colors". I smiled and I felt more confident already. I asked "where is everybody"? He said "down in the basement, thats where we rehearse, we tried in the garage, but the neighbors kept filing complaints". I said "well that sucks". He laughed and said "yes it does, but theres more room in the basement so thats a plus".

I started to take in his appearance. He had tattoo's on his arms and he wore a plain black t-shirt. His pants were black and they had rips in them. I said "nice jeans". He smiled and said "thanks". We all walked to a door that lead to the basement. He went down first and said "Chris your girlfriend's here".

I followed the guy then Mikayla followed me. When we got to the bottom of the steps all of Chris's friends stared at me. They all took turns saying how pretty I was. Then a guy who sat on a seat behind the drums said "dont tell me your Chris's girlfriend, he dosent deserve someone as cute and pretty as you". I smiled and blushed a tiny bit.

Before I would say anything Chris hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. He said "yes, she's mine, and I'm lucky to have her". I smiled even more then I turned around to hug him back. I kissed him for a few seconds then he said "you look cute". I said "thanks, you look hot". Chris said "well it does get hot down here". I said "not that way" He smiled and said "I know, I was just jokin with you".

Chris kept one hand on my back and pointed to all of his friends. He said "this is Ryan, Joshua, Ricky, Brandon, and that guy who opened the door for you is Devin". Then he said "boys, this is my girlfriend Shelby". I smiled and shyly waved as I said "hey"! They all waved back then I said "oh, um, this is my friend Mikayla". They all waved to her and she waved back.
