Call Me Yours

Chapter 22 - Spill

Mia
~~~
Whilst Dante still slept like a baby, Nico re-entered the room, bringing me right back to reality.

'You've gotta go, Mia. Some guys are here to see him and you can't be here.'

I nodded in response and he left the room once again.

'Dante.' I whispered.

'Hey, you've gotta wake up.'

He stirred a little but didn't open his eyes. I had to get up, if I carried on looking at his face I'd never leave. I stood up, pulling off his shirt and reaching for my clothes off the floor. I sat on the couch pulling my heels back on. He seemed to have woken up and wrapped his arms around me from behind.

'Stay?' He offered, his voice sleepy and his hair messy. I was so tempted, but I couldn't.

'I can't, Nico says some guys are on their way to meet with you.' I leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his head. He sat up slowly and watched as I pulled back on all the clothing he'd taken off me. He retrieved his shirt, to my dismay, putting it back on, and buttoning it up this time.

He watched me carefully as I gathered my things.
'Mia.' I glanced up to find him watching me with those curious eyes, he always seemed to be in such deep thought.
'Why did you actually come tonight?' He asked.

I shrugged, I didn't even know the answer to that question myself.

'I just wanted to, I guess.'

He said nothing in response as he stood up, walking over to me. He placed a soft hand on my cheek. He leaned in, placing a single kiss on my lips before there was a loud knock on the door. I gave him a little smile and he opened the door, letting me out and letting 2 suited, important looking men in. He gave me a final glance before closing the door.

As I sat in the back of the cab on my way to face reality, I didn't feel nervous, I wasn't worried like I should've been. My Mom was probably going to kill me and here I was with butterflies. Instead of playing out how I was going to deal with the drug accusations to my Mom I was playing out what had just happened with Dante in my head.

Reality hit all too quickly as before I knew it I was outside my house. I paid the driver and walked over to my doorstep. I was sure I smelled of alcohol and smoke. I was dressed in a red dress and heels, I literally had that after sex look, my hair was messy and my lipstick a little smudged. My Mom would know for sure that I hadn't just been begging the principal for forgiveness or confessing to my sins at the local Church.

I knocked on the door, here goes nothing.

My Mom just stared at me for a few seconds before stepping aside, letting me back into the house, well at least I wasn't homeless now.
'Why didn't you answer your phone? I called you like a million times?'
'Sorry. I got busy.'
'Yeah, Riley told me you were at hers.'
Riley? I held back a smile. I had the best friends.

'Why are you so dressed up to go to Riley's?' My mom asked suspiciously.

'Um, we were trying stuff on for prom.'

'Are you going to prom this year?'

To be honest I'd forgotten about that. Not that it mattered now because I wasn't going anymore since I'd be kicked out. Wow, it was laughable really, I had prom plans for all of 2 hours before I got expelled.

'Maybe.'

My Mom sighed.
'What is going on with you lately Mia? And why did I get a call from your principal earlier?'
