Chapter 17
"What makes you think that?" I asked him. "I don't know, I caught you glaring at everyone. Especially, Reece and Harry." "I was not glaring!" I loudly denied. "SHH! You're a little explosive tonight, aren't you? Wait never mind, you're always explosive." He whispered.
What did he mean by that? I didn't know whether he just complimented me or he insulted me.
"Anyways, stop denying it. You're jealous of them for having plans. You wanted to hang around here a little, but sadly, you don't cause no one was kind of to ask you." He confessed. He was right. Well, I wasn't super jealous, but still, I felt... left out.
There that's the word.
"Ugh, anyway, what do you want to do then? Stay up the entire night and watch Little Einstens?" "Haha, how joyful. No. I don't really know, I was thinking you would pick?" "What? Me? I don't know anything about this place."
"Really? Not even one?" I shook my head. I didn't know anything except it's amazing food and name. "Perfect! We'll have more fun!" Was he being sarcastic or was he seriously out of his mind?
"Don't you see the awesome advantage we have? We'll be able to explore my places. Even the ones that aren't really known!" He exclaimed. I think this was a once in a lifetime chance seeing Josh super happy over something.
Even more than teasing me; and that's a big thing.
"But do you feel the horrible things that might happen? Paul finds out, we face his wrath and conclude that we aren't worthy if living and commit suicide." I told him. "Okay, first of all, that won't happen. I've got it covered. Second, relax. We're supposed to be feeling the fun vibes!" "I think it's just you."
"You'll feel it if you join me." He smiled. "I don't know," I wanted to, but I was nervous.
Nervous we might get caught and especially, I was nervous something bad might happen.
"Come on, be adventurous! Remember what I said, 'Don't regret the mistakes you make'? Well, tonight why don't we make some memorable mistakes?" "Ugh, fine!" "Yes!" "But just a few conditions." "What is it?" "This is not a date and you buy everything." "No prob." He said his voice fading.
I wore the hoodie and we quietly went to the fire exit. It wasn't as long and tiring as the stairs we used to get up the lobby. That one was horrible.
We got down and reached the lobby. As soon as we got out, Josh did the most awkward thing. It was shocking too. Super.
"Oh!" I jumped and looked at my hand.
He was holding on to it; really tight. I found it really uncomfortable. It wasn't so tight, but when he grabbed it, I felt butterflies. "I'm not gonna kidnap you relax. I just wanna make sure both of us get back." He said softly.
"Fine, but that's it okay?" "Sure, sure. Now shall we?" He hailed for a cab and it came right after his whistle. Wow, that was fast. "Sir, please bring us to this place please!" Josh pointed at something in a crumble piece of paper and showed it to the driver. He nodded his head in reply.
Where were we going? Was it somewhere safe? Somewhere exposed?
"I have a surprise for you." He told me, which made me even more curious. When we got there, I was a little confused. It was a small house with broken lights.
I got a little scared. Was this his surprise?
We got out of the cab and Josh held his hand to mine's again. "I gotcha." He smiled. It gave me a mini heart attack. "Now, let's go!" He dragged me inside.
Inside, everything made sense. I hated him, at the same time, I wanted to punch him so much. He brought me to a freaking small karaoke house. "Why, oh why?" I mumbled. "Are you trying to be Shakespeare?" He teased. "If I was, would you understand anything I said?" "Why do you think I asked?" "Is there even anyone in here?"
It looked like it wasn't really known to anyone in Mexico. I mean, it looked like a half abandoned house and half a treehouse which contained some pretty cool stuff.
"Josh? Ahh!" An old man with a country voice, ran to him, and hugged him, making him loose his grip on my hand. "Uncle! How's it going here?" "Fine! How about you? You hungry?" "No, I'm still good, mate." "Whose this lovely lady?" He looked at me like I was some little, cute puppy.
"Is she your girlfriend?" Do we look like we were dating? Of course we did. Josh just had to hold my hand. "Oh no, haha. She's my best friend, Charlotte. Charlotte, meet my Uncle Warren." "What a beautiful name you got there, missy. Welcome to my karaoke place, otherwise known as my home sweet home." His hand swayed.
I found it really nice how he called it like that. It wasn't new or old, but he still thought of it as his home.
"Anyway, you didn't come here to talk with me, did ya? You came here to sing, yes?" He said in chirpy voice.
No. We weren't gonna sing. Did Josh plan this all out or something?
"Haha, yes we are! Bring us to the room!" "Follow me..." Warren walked ahead. I quickly pulled Josh and whispered, "Is this your surprise? Cause it's not really a good one!" "Woah, excited much? And, no. This is not the surprise, this is just the first part."
What?
There was more? How many parts are there? 24? 60?
We followed his Uncle to a small room. I'm was wondering if there were probably rats, spiders and disgusting insects.
But I was wrong.
"Holy Gatsby." I mumbled.
