CHAPTER SIX
"You shoulda seen his face," I laughed, close to tears as I relayed the story to Emerald and Harmony. We were waiting for Fifi and then were gonna head over to the boys lodging house. "It was priceless. Absolutely freaking priceless."
"Sass, I wish you didn't," Emmy sighed, "He's gonna be even more-."
"And I'll match him, toe-for-toe," I stated, folding my arms and leaning back into my chair. As I heard the door behind me open, I turned to see a boy with dark, dark brown hair and intriguing green eyes enter the diner. He flicked a smile in my direction and felt my breath catch in my throat. "Harmony, check my forehead. I think I'm sick."
"Sass," she rolled her eyes, but obliged as Emmy laughed, looking in the direction my eyes were still glued.
"He's cute Sass."
"I think I'm sick," I muttered.
"You're attracted to a boy, Sass," Em giggled. Harmony smiled and I shook my head before feeling a warmth beside me.
"Excuse me," I looked up to see the eyes smiling down at me, "It's quite full in here, would you mind if I joined you?"
"He's British," Emmy whispered as I moved over.
"Thank you for the observation," I muttered, rolling my eyes, turning back to the stranger, "I'm Sass."
"Sass," he repeated and I nodded, "My name is Damian."
"Oh, well you see," Em started, glancing at Harmony and me, making me raise an eyebrow; Harmony shrugged, "Everyone around here has nicknames. We don't use our real ones."
"Why not?" he asked, his eyes still on me and then he looked at her, "Troubles?"
"I guess so," Em shrugged, leaning back, only to giggle when her eyes were covered, "David!"
"Hey Em," he grinned, kissing her on the cheek, "Who's your friend?"
"He's Sass's actually." I threw a glare in her direction.
"And to think I took care of Conlon for you."
"You what?" David spluttered in disbelief. I smiled, nodding and he raised an eyebrow.
"Do I want to know?"
"It's quite a funny story," Harmony sighed, "Racetrack!"
"Sorry love," he grinned, taking the napkin off her head and planting a kiss on her lips, "Who's that?"
"Damian," Green-Eyes smiled briefly, "Well, I see you've got quite enough people-."
"No, you don't have to leave," Em laughed, tearing her eyes away from David.
"I'm sure Sass's boyfriend will be along shortly and will want to sit next to her-."
"Ya know, assuming makes an ass outta you and me," I laughed, shaking my head.
"You mean, you don't-."
"Not last time I checked." He smiled, taking my hand in his and gently placed his lips over my skin.
"Well then," he looked me in the eyes, "It's nice to meet you Sass."
"And you good sir," I laughed. God, I'd never felt this way before.
