Well. So after what happened, and after we pulled apart, I felt dazed [No thanks, I don't need a bucket of cold water dumped on me. Zia, please don't get any ideas.]. I was extremely glad I didn't say anything, because if I did they would've been stupid things that would've been better left unsaid. I was perfectly aware that Anubis was still looking at me, and I was blushing furiously. I wish I could stop. This was probably the most painful day of my life. I might as well just die. I sighed, playing with my sleeve. I was playing with my sleeve now? The next thing you know I'll be cutting my wrist with a knife-from-nowhere and then sent to rehab. No thanks.
"U-Um..." I stuttered, knowing that not only did I sound stupid, I looked stupid. "Er..."
Anubis opened his mouth to speak, but decided against it for some odd reason. Did I mention how hot Anubis looked, no matter what he was doing? We simply decided to agree on a staring contest, and silence fell upon us once more. That was, until...
"Agh!" I spun around to find Liz and Emma, staring at me with their mouths wide open and Liz pointing her finger at me. Khufu might've understood what Liz just said, for it was perfect baboon-speak. I could almost imagine what Liz was going to say next: "Sadie, you've got a boyfriend now?"
"Sadie, you've got a boyfriend now?" Liz shrieked, still with her mouth slightly ajar. Bingo. I was so embarrassed that I hid behind Anubis and hoped he would come up with something good that will satisfy my mates without too much suspicion.
However, much to my dissatisfaction, Anubis gazed from Liz to Emma curiously. "Are they your friends, Sadie?"
"Y-yes," I stammered, looking back and forth between Anubis and Liz and Emma.
"He's so hot!" Emma commented wistfully, as if she wished her boyfriend was like Anubis. They really don't have any idea, do they?
I knew I had to do something. "Um, this is Liz, and that's Emma," I gestured to them as I spoke. "A-And, this guy here," I went on, hoping Anubis wouldn't hate me for what I was about to say next as I pointed at him, "Is my long lost cousin Bob." [If a random guy popped out of nowhere and started singing "Laaammme", I wouldn't have minded.]
"I didn't know your cousin was this good looking!" Liz and Emma squealed at the same time.
I coughed nervously. "Um, yeah. I'm sorry, but i-if you will please excuse me...I'm showing him around town, you know?"
Both their eyes nearly popped out of their heads. "We'd love to come and show him the town with you!"
I groaned. This was going to be one brilliant day. And as they were my mates, I couldn't just say "no", could I? To make things worse, Anubis leaned in my ear and whispered, "I really don't think 'Bob' is a name that suit me, Sadie. Something along the lines of 'Nico' would be much more appreciated."
"Well, if you're not satisfied with how I saved you from unnecessary explanations, then you could've said something first!" I retorted hotly. I realized just then that technically I was going on a date with Anubis. My day was just getting better and better, wasn't it?
A/n: Well...that's chapter 6! What do you guys think? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Should I continue? Suggestions, opinions and ideas are welcome! :D And I've started reading The Throne of Fire, which is extremely awesome by the way!
Thank you for your awesome reviews!
