Chapter VII: Secrets
It was now Friday and I was in a towel, dripping water, holding my Harley Quinn costume and wondering where did the rest of my week go.
After that small deep conversation with Damon everything’s been quite normal, well, except for this really intense looks he gives me sometimes. I still hadn’t told my friends about it, I was yet to let it sink in. He loved me, but there was something he wasn’t telling me, something big.
He loved me. I swallowed hard. I still couldn’t believe it.
There was a knock on my bedroom door followed by the voice of my best friend.
“Are you ready yet? I need to start on your makeup” said Annie.
“Just a sec, I’m changing” I responded.
I started to change into the costume, it was pretty tight but thankfully I had curves in all the right places… still I felt self conscious.
“Done, come work your magic”
That said I took a sit on my vanity and Annie started working on me. I knew it was going to take quite long. Just then my phone buzzed.
“Don’t move!” Annie said quickly when she saw me trying to reach my phone. “I’ll read it aloud for you”
“Ok” I mumbled.
“It says,on my way on joker mode – D, I guess it’s from Damon, I can’t wait to see what he looks like, I wonder if he can pull that off too…” she trailed off.
I snorted, “Annie, it’s Damon we’re talking about, you could give him a coffee stained old rug and he would wrap it around him and make it a fashion statement”.
“Are you planning your holidays in hell Nikki?” She asked wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
“Oh no! Not you too!” The words came out of my mouth before I could register what I was saying.
“Why? Who shares my point of view?” She asked interested.
“Um… Sheryl?” It sounded more like a question than anything but I was hoping she wouldn’t notice.
“Is there something you want to tell me?” She had stopped doing whatever she had been doing on my face and even with my eyes closed I could feel her gaze on me, I shifted in my seat. Luckily the door burst open.
“Hi Becky” Annie greeted my mom.
“Hi sweetheart, oh, wonderful job you’re doing! And Nicole you look so good in that costume” My mom sounded ecstatic. It was probably because I was going out after a long long time of being my secluded self and staying every single weekend at home.
“Thanks” Annie and I said at the same time and then giggled like school girls. Oh well.
“Nikki, your boyfriend’s downstairs” said my mom with an amused tone.
“My what? I don’t have a boyfriend!” I protested.
She ignored me and I could hear her walking away “I’ll tell him to come up”.
“Boyfriend? Is your mom match-making you?” Annie asked.
“She has the weird idea that I like him”
“Like who?” I didn’t get the time to answer because the door opened again.
“Hey girls” said a deep husky and sexy voice. I hate his perfect self!
“Hi Damon” said Annie. I remained silent.
“Hello Nicole” he said after a moment, I could hear the annoyed tone in his voice.
