Book 1: The Criminal Loves A Dolly

23: Halloween

Dolly ran downstairs and into the living room. "Sorry I'm late."

"Late?" Her mother laughed. "We have been waiting for an hour. What took you so long?"

"I fell asleep," she said. "Sorry I got home late. I'm so exhausted."

"It's alright," Bradly said. "I heard you went out to a Halloween party."

"Yes," she smiled. "I was a sexy kitty."

"What?" Her mother frowned. "You have better not dressed inappropriately."

"Too late," she said. "Can we hurry up? I have to go and see Emma."

"Right," Bradly stood and held her hands. She pulled them away. "Sorry, anyways, I wanted to apologize for what happened. It did try to kiss her." He admits it now. What is this bastard planning? "But, I thought she would kiss me first since I saw her lean into me."

Dolly glared. Well, two can play this game.

"I do apologize," he said. "As a peace offering, I would like to invite to even its a Halloween party. We are going to be giving out candy."

Dolly smiled. "Tonight?"

"Yes," he said. "Oh, and here." He picked the bouquet. "For you."

"Thank you, " she slapped them across his face; well, she imagined it. "I will put them in water. And I'd love to attend. Is it alright if I bring a friend?"

"Oh yes," her mother smiled. "Take Emma."

"Of course," he said. "Should I pick you up?"

"No," she said. "I will drive, and I will take the car that my dear mother bought for me."

"Finally," her mother smiled. "You only used it once when you ram away from your brother. Anyways, I shall have hee ready for tonight. It won't be a costume party."

"Can I go now?" She asked. "I need to meet up with Emma."

"Well," Bradly smiled. "I will see you tonight."

"Right," she smiled.

"I have to go to," her mother said. "But I will be back later."

Dolly waited for them to leave.

Once they left, she set the flower in a vase and went back upstairs. "They are gone. Let's go."

Victor nod. "You had my clothes from last time; why?"

"I meant to give them to you," she said. "But, I keep forgetting."

"Sure you did," he grinned.

She handed him the key to her car. "You drive," she said.

He nods.

They did go to Emma to pick Alex up. It seems he and Emma did something. Because when they got them. They were acting strangely. Emma was blushing, and Alex looked guilty.

"You two slept together, didn't you?" Victor said.

Emma looked away. "Yes."

Dolly sighed. "Wasn't that on your bucket list?"

"Yes," she said. "It's just embarrassing."

Alex groaned. "I'm sorry if I wasn't what you expected."

"Don't say that," Emma smiled. "You were gentle." Emma kissed him.

Alex blushed.

"We are still going to get candy?" Emma asked.
