Chapter 2- Victor
Sorry this chapter is shorter, but it seemed best to end it here. Thank you for your reviews so far.
"Gary" Alex squealed excitedly. The badass really turned into a girl around her soulfinder. She cuddled into his warm chest as he wrapt her under his coat.
"Baby, it was freezing and I was so worried you hadn't even got out. What were you doing in there?".
Gary was like an all American guy. He was fair haired, with blue eyes and a muscular build. He had been quarterback at his last school, but didn't carry on with football at college, well university to us. He is studying business or economics or something, I can't really remember.
"Sorry babe" I rolled my eyes at their endearments, but they were happy together, I was probably just jealous, "someone didn't want to wake up. Even though both of them travelled together and Sarah managed to hear the alarm, Nora here was out for the count. We didn't have time to put nothing on before everyone was panicing, ie Sarah, plus we still had to wake up sleeping beauty. Who soon turned into a monster at her beauty interruption".
"Wow Alex you really must care about me a lot if you keep going on about how hard it was to wake me up, yet you kept trying, putting yourself in danger. I love you too, but careful wouldn't want your soulmate there getting jealous" Sarah giggled next to me in the bench we had found. Soulmate was what we called soulfinders when we were out in public. Sarah's idea, couldn't have people thinking we were in fact weirder than they thought.
"And where, do I dare say, did you two get your coats from. Wow Nora a suit jacket aiming high are we?".
"Gary what happened to you. You were so sweet after we got over the whole boutique affair. Alex is clearly a bad influence on you. Would it kill you to hold off on the sarcasm around innocent people?".
"Yes it would" Alex replied smirking, we always had jokes like this.
"And who said I was innocent, I've been anything but since I met my Alex here".
"Okay" Sarah replied shocked, "we do not want to hear details about your sex life. I'm making that a rule right now. We here enough from Alex, we don't need to hear your side to Gary!". I was still in shock, even more so by the amused expression the pair were giveing us.
"Aw Gary I think my two best friends need to get laid. Maybe with the guys that gave them the jackets. Who surely will be coming back to get them. That's when you make your move".
"God Alexis, be quiet, you know we're both saving ourselves for our soul finder, like you did!" Sarah snapped, woah something had made the red had angry. Not good.
I wasn't particularly saving myself for my soulfinder, I pretty much didn't talk to any guys so I wasn't a shock to be a virgin at this age. It had taken a while into their relationship before Alex and Gary had done anything. All Alex said about her first time was that Gary was extremely happy he was her first, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Since then Sarah had been even more determined to wait for her prince as she called him.
We waited as sirens and flashes continued to go off. The building alarm must have been shut off a while ago. Teachers, students and police were all surrounding the dorm room. It set me on edge how many police were here. And was that an FBI van. What was going on?
"Gary, hey man, you okay?". I'd never seen the boy before but he was similar to Gary, only tanned with black hair and brown eyes. The two were obviously old friends.
"Will Benedict, hey how's it going? Being a while?". Gary returned shaking the guys, Wills, hand.
"Yeah I know been busy at college and eveything. Studying law and its killing me. Haven't been able to go out so far this year. How you been?" Will then noticed the rest of us and smiled politely but focused back on Gary.
"Good man, classes are great, met a great girl in London and managed to convinced her to stay with me" Gary gestured to Alex.
"Alexis, and it wasn't like I needed much coaxing" Alex smiled, so Gary's friends were automatically hers, good to know.
"And these are her friends from England, Sarah the red head and Nora the blonde" will shook both our hands smiling. Then he got a confused look on his face at our jackets, especially the hoodie. Maybe he knew who gave it to us.
"I came over to try and find out what was happening, plus my brothers went in there to find Xavier. Him and his girlfriend are visiting his old friends who stay in the dorm. My other brothers Uriel, Vic and Yves have gone in there to see if he's okay. Vic has a pass as an FBI agent". Will explained worriedly glancing at the dorm.
"That's right I forgot your family were into law enforcement stuff. Good on you all though. Hope your brothers will be okay, I'm not entirely sure what is going on. The dorms larger than the others but I wouldn't have thought anyone dangerous would break in". Wow so the Benedict family were law crazy, and also had strange names. I bet Yves was teased for his name sounding like 'Eve'. But an FBI agent sounded interesting. Strangely I thought of the three men in the hall, my guy, woah my guy, what the hell?, was wearing a suit, could be FBI. I started thinking about what he looked like again, pulling his jacket closer, remembering his voice...
"Hey Will" yeah that was it, deep masculine, wow my imagination was great.
"How's it going little brother" another voice said bringing me out of my thoughts.
There stood the hot three musketeers. Wow, my guy had his sleeves rolled up showing his fore arms, which were tanned and not too hairy.
"Hi again" he said grey eyes on me. "I'm Victor Benedict, I didn't have the chance to introduce myself in the hall, was trying to find my baby brother" he said smiling.
Victor the FBI agent. Wow. Just wow.
"I'm not a baby Vic, me and crystal would have got out just fine" the latest addition to the group stated. He had little hair than the others and was extremely tall and lean. Still slightly shorter than Victor. His girlfriend was extremely pretty, blonde, frizzy, there was no other way to describe it, hair with a beautiful face, sharp cheekbones and was also tall.
"That's okay. I was really dazed anyone, didn't really understand what was going on at all" I said smiling trying t figure out how to act. Do I flirt, be polite, detached? I was so confused. He took the empty seat next to me, and sighed as he was able to get off his feet. He was clearly tired. "Do you want your jacket back?".
"Not that's fine you can wear it for the minute" as he said this he reached into his jacket pocket, I tried not to tense,l and luckily was successful. He pulled out his phone and scrolled for the texts he received. He smiled at me exasperated at now many there was. "You have an accent. Your English right?". I nooded.
At this Will interrupted, "they all are. This is Sarah, Alexis who is my old friend Gary's girlfriend. Guys this my brothers Victor, Uriel, Yves" who turned out to be the married guy from earlier, interesting' "and Xavier and his girlfriend crystal". We all smiled at each other, unsure of where this was gonna go from here.
"So do you know what's going on? Why did the alarm go off?" Sarah questioned.
"Sadly I don't know, probably won't till tomorrow, but I don't think you'll be allowed back in for a while. It probably be best if you found a cafe, or something before everyone else does aswell. We're join you if that's okay, I could use a coffee" Victor explained with glances in my direction. Of course I as gonna go with him, I was pretty sure I would follow him anywhere.
"I'm in, nothing else to do, Sarah, Alexis?" I questioned.
"I think I'm gonna go back to Gary's for the rest of the night" Alex explained, it didn't take a genius to guess what they wanted to do.
"Sure Ill come" Sarah added. Uriel had been paying attention to Sarah, nodded he would be joing us.
"Sorry to disappoint you older bros, but I'm gonna take Crystal back to your apartment".
"Sorry guys bu I'm really tired, I wish I could come though" Crystal added politely.
"Looks like its just me, Vic, Uriel and the two Brits then" Will added with a smile, "I know just the place to go that's still open".
The others left, and we made our way to a black four by four. Victor got in the driving seat, Uriel the passenger, leaving me and will in the back with Sarah in the middle. On the drive to the diner, Victors eyes kept meeting mine in the rear view mirror.
I was embarrassed at first, but then thought, I'm not just looking at him, he's looking at me.
Please review.
