15- Clearly

Hunter's p.o.v.

" You seem scared to see me, what's the matter?" Her voice came out mockingly as she took the same position Chance had before he left.

" Diane what do you want?" I gritted out and prayed she had plans of leaving soon.

Who's Diane?

Well, how exactly am I going to explain this?

Diane is Soldo's first and only child. And apparently my first girlfriend too.

Back then we always went on deliveries together, giving us enough room for anything other than delivery.

She was my first everything.. from kisses to first sex. And apparently it was vice versa.

How Diane and I lost contact with each other?

When I was in ninth grade , Diane had to go for a delivery alone cause I had a test to prepare for.

  Sadly the operation got intercepted by the police and soon enough she was declared wanted after a narrow escape. Soldo had hidden her under radar such that no one could tell her whereabouts except him.

  So seeing Diane after nine years of her technically vanishing from the surface of the earth at a time like this is enough to cause discomfort in ones soul.

" That's not at all how I expected you to react to my presence seeing how much I've missed you " she hissed and stealthily took a seat across me.

" Now is not a good time "

" Then when is?, let's go talk this over a cup of coffee. Or possibly dinner. I'm game for pasta" she said reclining into her seat as a Cheshire grin made its way to her lips like she was already victorious with whatever she came to do.

" I'm busy Diane, so I suggest you speak up now or leave "

" Someone's in a haste to get rid of me"

" Does it bother you?" I scoffed

" Kinda.. it's new"

" There's always a first time for everything "

" I don't like this new change"

" Neither do I, but what choice do we have "

" You could be nicer"

" I have enough on my plate, niceness can find its way in the freezer"

" You used to love me "

" I think we both know we were being childish "

" So now I'm no longer important?"

" And I repeat, I have too many things on my plate to think of Diane. A lot more trivial than this"

" So whatever I have to say concerning us is irrelevant? "

" Your words not mine"

" So anything I have to say about my dad is also irrelevant ?"

  I was about to retort when her statement finally sank in.

  And she figured she had my attention because a smirk made its way to her face.

" Dinner at El Diablo restaurant. Nine o'clock, don't be late" she curtly says with a sly smile knowing fully well that she had gotten me right where she wanted.

  Diane stood to her feet, still smiling and began taking her steps slowly back to the door.

" oh, and you grew into a delicious specimen" were her last words as she blew me a kiss and walked out.
