That Night
Merle
Later that night Dilandu called. And reminded her about the movie, asking her which one she wanted to see. Neither one noticed the faint click of Van getting on to use the phone. Listening in on the conversation he got very angry. She picked The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and he agreed to pick her up at 7. Getting off the phone she laid on her bed thinking about his voice, while he sat on his couch remembering their conversation. As Van climbed the stairs he came into Merle's room.
"So... what are you doing tonight?" he asked.
"Nothing... going to a movie." She said back. He was being awfully suspicious.
"Sounds like fun. Mind if I come along?" he asked. Merle was completely blown away. She hadn't expected this. "I mean... if you and him are doing something during the movie..." he gave her the coldest stare ever. She smiled and gathered her wits.
"Sure you could come." She finally spat out.
"Alright. I'll invite Hitomi too." He said, leaving her room. As soon as he left she called Dilandu and told him.
"It's alright." He reassured her. "Really, everything will be fine. Don't worry."
"I can't help it! He's very protective and I don't want him to hurt you or vice versa!" she said. I can't believe I'm saying this to him!
"Relax. Nothing is going to happen... I promise." He said soothingly. Somehow it calmed her nerves. She hung up with him and began getting ready. She wore a short shirt and jeans. Bringing her jacket incase she got cold she left her room. She ran into Hitomi.
"I'm sorry about Van." She said apologetically.
"It's alright. I should've expected it." Merle said calmly. Hitomi went into her room and Merle went downstairs, passing Allen who was zoned into the TV. Sitting on the steps she rested her head on the railing and closed her eyes, imagining everything about Dilandu. As she did she felt like someone was beside her. She felt a soft hand on her shoulder. "What do you want?" they got closer and pulled her hair away from her ear and whispered to her.
"Merle it's me." It was Dilandu! Merle jumped a little and he chuckled.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. What were you doing?" he asked.
"I was just thinking is all." She smiled and looked to the sky. "Look! It's the Big Dipper. And there's Orion's belt." Dilandu looked up and smiled. Without thinking Merle laid her head on his shoulder. They counted constellations for a while until they herd someone behind them.
"Are you ready to go?" she herd Hitomi ask. Realizing she was on Dilandu, Merle blushed and picked up her head giving him an apologetic look. Behind Hitomi, Van watched angry but hiding it as best he could. The four went to their cars, Merle in Dilandu's and Hitomi in Van's. They drove to the theatre and grabbed tickets to the movie sitting down together. Merle next to Dilandu and Van on the other side of Dilandu with Hitomi to the right of him. Van was determined to keep Dilandu in check. As the movie started they were all focused, but about 20 minutes into it Merle got cold and put on her jacket. Absentmindedly, Dilandu put an arm around her and pulled her into his arms to warm her, and she laid her head on his chest. Van on the other hand caught every moment and was angered even deeper. Hitomi saw this, kissed him gently and snuggled against him to take his mind away from Merle. Realizing as well what he had done, Merle blushed. I can't believe how sweet he's being! This is too good to be true! She thought. As the movie went on she snuggled against him. He noticed every bit of it, his heartbeat racing in his chest. He laid his head on hers and they watched the rest of the movie in each other's arms. As the Movie ended Dilandu slowly and reluctantly let her go and they all got up to leave.
Dilandu
"Well, well. What've we here?" a voice spoke out as they reached the outside of the theatre. Turning around they saw three guys dressed like gangsters, standing behind them. "What are you doing here Dilandu?" the leader asked.
"What do you want Mark?" Dilandu asked coldly.
"I came to talk to you, you son of a bitch."
"We herd about Rela. How you're playing her."
"It's time to pay. You don't cheat on your girl. Especially one like her." Van looked harshly at Dilandu.
"I'm not with her anymore. If she can't realize that, then I don't know what to do. I'm with someone else now though. Someone who sees me for me!" he said harshly, and then angrily lowering his voice to a whisper, "She is and always will be twice if not than more the person, and woman than Rela will ever, EVER be." There was a moment of silence. Dilandu had meant what he said. I never knew I felt that way about Merle
"Well," one of them said with a fake sniff, "That was the most... stupid thing I've ever heard!" he ran at Dilandu. Fists were thrown and there was shouting. Merle ran forward. Dilandu saw her coming and pushed the other guy off.
"DILANDU! STOP!" she yelled. Blood streaked his cheek from his lip. She held him back and pulled his arm. "Come on!" the three guys left and so Dilandu followed her. As they reached the car she threw her arms around him. "Don't scare me like that!" she said. She pulled back and a tear streaked her face. Dilandu wiped it away and held her close.
"I'm sorry." He said holding her. Hitomi and Van got into their car and waited. Merle gave him a quick hug and got into the car and they drove back to her house.
