My Mysterious Savior

24.

Lilith's point of view

Yesterday, after I stitched Vince up, we all had breakfast together and then the girls wanted to go shopping. They were dead set on finding awesome costumes for Zach's halloween party and it was absolute torture.

We've spent at least three hours walking around and two more just sitting by the fitting rooms. Shannon tried on the same two for an hour because she couldn't decide. The three of them just wouldn't let me and the guys go eat.

On the bright side, Ephraim asked me to get a costume for Evangeline and I was so excited. I got her this angel costume with a halo and wings. I already had a plan for her hair and what shoes she would wear. Let's just say it was me who was running around like crazy after he asked me.

I even managed to snatch a costume for myself along the way and a little bit of the necessary makeup. Once we all had what we needed, we finally went to get something to eat before all parting ways to go home. The eating part, well that was eventful.

"Would you just go get us a table?!" I laughed as I tried to push Kyona and Vincenzo towards the table area. "Dash, Shannon, Brie and I can handle the food." I shooed them away and Kyona send me a glare. She was scared that Vince hated her after the accident from this morning.

"You think they'll get married?" Dash asked from behind me and I turned to him.

"Definitely." I nodded and he smirked. I don't know why but he also snickered to himself. When I squinted my eyes at him, he quickly composed himself as we waited for the food. Shannon was still starstruck and just stood by us like a statue.

Ephraim disappeared when we went to the court but not without telling Dashiell his order. I was curious to know where he was going until Dash told me he was just going to the bathroom. Well, not in those exact words, his choice was a little more vulgar.

Once we all gathered the food, we made our way over to where Vince and Ky were sitting. And Ephraim emerged from the crowd right on time. I definitely would've eaten his fries if he didn't get here on time.

Kyona was quietly drinking her milkshake before she choked loudly. All our heads turned to her in shock and Vince rubbed her back to calm her coughs. He whispered something to her and she inhaled deeply. "That's it." He nodded approvingly when she started to calm down.

"What happened?" Shannon asked with a frown.

"Quinn's here." Kyona answered.

"So? She loves shopping." I shrugged.

"She here with Joanna, Vivian and Jasmine." Kyona added and my eyes widened.

"Joanna the one she despises and Vivian the one that she punched?" Brie frowned and Kyona nodded.

"Quinn punched someone?" Dash asked confused.

"Yeah, Vivian kissed her boyfriend when we were in the first year of high school." I nodded. "What the hell is she doing with them? And why the hell hasn't she replied to my texts?"

"You texted her?" Ephraim frowned.

"Yeah, I gave her space but it didn't help. So I just asked her if something was up." I shrugged.

"She's coming this way." Kyona's eyes widened and right on cue, Quinn's manicured hand landed on Ephraim's shoulder.

"Hi, handsome." She purred and I looked at her in utter shock and confusion.

"Quinn." Ephraim nodded in acknowledgement while grabbing one of her fingers and lifting her hand off his shoulder. He scooted further away from her, almost knocking me off the bench while doing so. "Sorry." He quickly wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me steady and the action seemed to make Quinn boil with anger.
