Two super softies

Suspicious things

"AUNT CHLOE," I yelled as I entered my house. I was so confused and I needed answers. Like, how exactly did this kid know her? How did his parents meet my aunt? I mean, I know they live fairly close to each other, but, my aunt is NOT a social person.
Aunt Chloe came in the living room, obviously annoyed. Her head was tilted sideways, eyebrows raised, and hands on her hips.
"Yes, Nini?" Calling me by my nickname, I started pacing in the huge room.
"Okay, is you know how I'm new to this school right?" I asked. She nodded.
"Was there someone in particular, that fancied your eye, love," Aunt Chloe guessed.
"Well...not really. I met a lot of people today and made a lot of friends. But I was the fancy of someone's eye. He says his mom knows you," I explained. My aunt looked at the ceiling, thinking.
"Is it Dashiell?" She said finally looking back at me. What? I am still so confused. How did they know each other.
"Yeah...how exactly do you know..." I trailed off, a list for words.
"His mom works at my job," she casually replied.
"Did she ever tell you her son went to this school?" I raised my voice in slight curiosity. She started walking back to her office.
"Yeah. Which reminds me, tomorrow, we're going over to their house. You can go to his house on you bus ride home. I would be there around 3:15." Aunt Chloe called back.
Great. I have someone to hangout with, even though I was technically forced to. I sighed at the thought of that, and walked up to the library. I decided on doing my homework in there. But, don't ask why my aunt has a library. As I stated before, she has a bank.

•~time skip because why not~•

I had finished my homework, with the help of handy textbooks that my aunt had in the library. I looked at my phone to check the time and notifications. It was 4:58 pm. I also got a text from Josheph.

Joseph ~
Hey. I feel awkward texting you, even though you gave me your number, heheh. But anyway. Dash asked about you strangely. Did he talk to you on the bus?

Neoma ~
Yeah, he did. Surprisingly, his mom knows mine. Tomorrow my aunt and I are going to his house. Not sure why though. I don't get it.

Joseph-
Get what?

Neoma ~
I don't get why he would be so interested in me.

Joseph~
I have some theories, I'm not willing to share aloud.

Neoma ~
Aww, c'mon.  Oh hey, I'll talk to you later. I have to cook dinner.

Joseph ~
Okay. Talk to you tomorrow.

     I got up and put my homework in my backpack. I walked downstairs to the kitchen and looked in the pantry and fridge in search of food. I found noodles and decided to make pasta. I got the ingredients to make a type of garlic cheesy sauce for the pasta. 
     I had gotten the ingredients put together and the pasta into the heated water when I heard the doorbell ring. I walked over to the door and looked through the peep hole. It was a tall black man that was bald, slender, and had seemingly large hands. I opened the door slightly cracked, while peeking outside.
     "Um...hey," I started off, "if you're here to see my aunt, she's kinda busy right now."
     "Uh, you're aunt?" He questioned.
     "Yeah. Aunt Chloe." I answered matter-o-factedly. He stared at me for a brief second before smiling.
      "Oh, you're the niece she's been talking about. Chloe called me over because she needed help with something," he responded. I hesitated a little before opening the door with my eyes slightly narrowed.
     "Man, she was right when she said you really didn't trust that many people," I heard him mumble under his breath. He walked in and looked around for her.
     "She's in her office," I said. He started walking towards her office with me not far behind.
     "Excuse me sir, but who exactly are you" I asked.
     "My names Lucius," he said glancing over his shoulder. I continued following him up until the door to the office. Lucius walked to the desk Aunt Chloe was sitting at. She showed him something and they started whispering. Something told me that something was going on with this guy in my house and Dash's family.
      I walked back to the kitchen, confused as to what they knew about aunt Chloe and possibly me. Trust me when I say, we had secrets, but i didn't know if they knew that. I looked at the pasta and it was nearly done. I stirred the pasta and put the sauce in and let it bowl for a minute or two before taking it out. It smelled like Italy in here and I loved it.
     I got two bowls and put an equal amount in both, put forks in them, and took them both to the office. Once I got there, I noticed that they both had worried expressions. I cleared my throat and they both looked towards the door.
    "I wasn't sure if you guys were hungry..." I awkwardly said, not really sure on how to act. They both smiled in and I walked in and gave them the bowls. I slowly, but surely...and awkwardly, made my exit. I stood by the door out of view for a couple of seconds and heard hushed worried voices.
   "Well just talk with Bob and Helen about it tomorrow," I heard Lucius say, and my aunt hummed. I heard footsteps and I quickly hid so I wouldn't get caught. My aunt came outside and went to her room. I heard her shuffling. I didn't know by what but I didn't care at this point. I was hungry.

~^tiiiiiiimmmmmeee shhhhhhkkkkip timmmmme^~

    Lucius had long since left, and I was laying in bed in the dark. I had on sweat shorts and a boyfriend shirt, but I didn't have the blanket on me. I was questioning the people my aunt knew. Why did they seem to know a secret? I was completely confused.
