Silent Vegas

Chapter 3- Unwanted Knight In Leather Jacket

     "Good morning, Greyy" I drawled out. "Get ready, Cather" he said mocking me with Vegas' nickname. "Greyyyyyyyyyyyy" I whined in my morning voice feeling my cheek warm up. Grey's phone buzzed. He frowned looking at his phone. "Change of plans, Ari, Mahendra's picking you up."

"Mahendra? Who's that? Wait, don't tell me. He's the one that pushed me off my bike, hit my head to a fire hydrant, and etc."

"Exactly." He smirked. "You know he is still quite the looker."

"No thank you, my heart is set on food." I blew my brother a kiss as I went to the bathroom to shower.

In the shower, I did my routine, which is..... Singing. 100 points for Aricia. I sang everything from Lana Del Rey to Miley Cyrus, oh wait, I don't sing Taylor Swift. That manipulative beach, who rushes into relationships. Ugh...disgusting. I stepped out as soon as I put my brand new denim legging, (No, it's not skinny jeans. It's denim legging) and some really cute shirt with the writing, Life should be spent with good coffee and books. So me.

I walked down the stairs and saw a guy, Mahendra, I guess, on the couch. "Finally, the damsel in ditress stopped screeching." He said. I should have felt offended sommehow, but all I could manage was a laugh. I looked at him, and remembered bits and fragments of him in the back of my brain.

"You owe me 3 apologies." I scowled.

"What for?" "First, for 2 weeks worth of hospital food when I was 10. Second, for calling me a damsel in distress which i'm not, because I could've just walked, I mean you're an unwanted knight in leather jacket. Third, for making me laugh."

He smiled and walked towards me. I stood my ground, he grabbed my hand and kissed it. "First I'm sorry, Aricia. Second, do you really want to walk though? Third, I can't help it if I'm naturally just funny."

"Still arrogant as ever I see?" I smirked remembering his arrogance when we were younger. Weirdly though, Grey was still a blur. He laughed. He's so cute when he laughed. "Come on, your brother's going to think the wrong way, if we're late."

"How so?" I ask. "Oh, come on, you know your brother." He ruffled my hair. Dude, Seriously! "Not untill a while ago". Regret flashed in his eyes, if I hadn't been staring the soul out of him, I would've missed it.

"Alright, alright. I'll make it up to you." He said giving up. "After what 7 years?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Don't be so demanding, I can't turn back time. Take it or Leave it." He rolled his eyes.

I giggled and put my glasses on. "Okay, okay. Let's go."

He eyed me for a while. "Do you really need that? Or are you just trying to flirt with Vegas?"

I blushed remembering what happened in the supermarket. "Why? It's not like he's going to be there."

He took off my glasses and put it on the table. "You look prettier that way."

I blush. "Too bad you're off my limits." He smiled, his words sounded sincere. "Okay, Come on buttfly."

"Buttfly? How do you know about buttfly?" I ask him. He smirked. "One, I used to be your neighbor, and you took that doll everywhere." I blushed. I still have that doll. Hell, I have it in my suitcase. "Second, I'm your brother's best friend, I know almost everything about you. Third, I gave you that doll."

"You did?" I think my eyes just fell out of their socket. "Yes, it all started with a carnaval, Come on, I'll tell you the rest in the car."
