Hope We'll Meet Again

"Five months in and you still haven't been to a party?!" Tyrant asked amazed. I shook my head no. He laughed before shaking his head. Turning off the light in his bathroom I stepped out before standing on my tip toes and stretching.

"I'm ready."

Tyrant's eyes widened looking at me. His mouth even fell open a bit making me laugh and close it.

"When did you buy that?!" he asked standing up.

Looking down at the plunge in my short fitted black dress I smiled, "Couple days ago, it's a little strange but I know its what humans with female genitals usually wear on this earth." I said before laughing.

He let out a nervous laugh, "There's gonna be frat boys and stuff, I don't want you to be a-" raising a hand I laughed, "I'll be fine, as long as I protect myself."

We were off heading to the dorm room where the party was. You could hear music playing and loud voices.

"Just stick with me okay?"

Jumping up out of my sleep I heaved causing Gemini to turn over. Looking at me with squinted eyes she turned to the alarm clock seeing it was five fifty-nine.

"Damn you." she groaned with her face in the pillow. "Can't your nightmares end just a minute later?"

Tucking my knees into my chest she sat up and put her hand on my back.

"I'll wake up the girls, lets talk about it over breakfast." Gemini suggested before getting up out of bed and going into the bathroom. Letting out a breath I sighed running a hand over my bald head.

"I think we should look for new wigs today." she said turning around with her toothbrush in her mouth.

"Yeah, and I think it's about time I do Ronnie's hair." I sighed looking over at her and Adonis huddled together in bed. They were sleeping so peacefully and you could see the innocence in them. Nothing more than just little girls.

Peeling back the covers I got up and went in the bathroom with Gemini.

Sitting on top of the toilet I yawned and stretched.

"I want us to get off the streets... I want us to live normal lives together, I don't want Adonis and Ronnie getting sucked into this life." I said looking up at Gemini.

Spitting into the sink she turned and asked me, "How would that happen?"

I looked up at the ceiling before standing and turning on the shower, "I could get a job, if and when I do get one, I'll continue what I do now... just on the side."

"But Cami WHO will hire you?" Gemini stressed.

"I don't know, but if I can find that guy from yesterday in the elevator I can ask if he can give me a job or something, he almost gave me his business card."

"I doubt he's still here." Gemini sighed.

"He was on the same floor as us. Best thing I can think of is to go around and press our ears to each door." I shrugged.

Gemini pursed her lips at me. The shower had been running for a bit now so it was starting to get steamy. "Camille we do not have time to do that."

I sighed before nodding, "Okay, you're right."

Pulling my shirt over my head I undressed and got in the shower. Feeling the warm water envelop me I focused on the sound of the water from the showerhead hitting the tub.

"Darrell asked me to watch you for him, fuck."

Wrenching my rag I squeezed my eyes shut letting out a deep breath.
