Still a summary people, a looong summary ;-)
Heartless Chapter 6: I'm Wondering
'Damn it…I feel so hung over but why?' Dante mentally scowled. He looked at his clock which read 4 am.
"Dammit!" He cursed and saw he was in his whit t shirt and boxers. He closed his eyes again to drive away the pain but to no avail did it work. He walked into the bathroom and splashed water over his face.
He went back to bed and eventually fell asleep. He was awoken again by Modeus at 7 in the morning, not much sleep but Dante was too tired to argue.
"Why the hell did you wake me up?" was all Dante could ask as he collapsed on the couch.
"We're going to practice remember?" Modeus asked strapping on some sneakers.
He looked up and saw Modeus in a plain Navy blue hoodie and track pants with some kind of fancy Puma sneakers.
"Oh hell to the no, tell coach I'm sick, I am not in the mood to run after last night…" He said and sunk back down.
"Ok, I'll do that but what happened last night?" He frowned.
"I woke up at friggin 4 and only fell asleep like after an hour or so, I am so damn tired!" Dante complained. "I took a shower for nothing this morning thanks to you!"
"You're not gonna fool anyone though, you still look sloppy with your socks on and a jeans and that striped shirt." Modeus smirked.
"Shut up and go kick around balls already, I'm too tired to argue." Dante groaned.
"Whatever, well I'm off, enjoy your lazy day!" Modeus said not really expecting Dante to reply and left.
Dante was alone in his dorm room; nothing could break this peace…NOTHING. He was so damn lucky he thought. It was weird how this peace had come so easily but well, beggars can't be choosers.
He started to recap about Tuesday night and how beautiful Laura looked when she had no particular expression on her face and when she was well…just natural.
She was pretty, he admitted, he'd heard most of the guys say that she was, there was even a hint of jealousy whenever she was oblivious to the passes that weirdo Kenny made, he'd scrape his face off sooner or later.
He grinned at the malicious thought but then dimmed down to a smile as he remembered the one smile that made his heart jump.
Laura was the perfect girlfriend he'd heard the guys Say, also, she wasn't bossy or braggy or had a lot of baggage, hell she'd be the perfect girlfriend for him too, he liked that idea he quietly admitted to himself and he'd picture the way she'd make him nervous without even trying.
To be honest she was the ONLY girl to ever make him nervous, he liked her edge and her ways, headstrong and determined.
He pictured their kisses, soft at first time but passionate afterwards.
He wondered further to the idea of sleeping with her, she'd make soft yet painful moans yes but he'd comfort her with kisses, he'd feel her smooth skin in his hands and her body against his, she wouldn't interrupt him, he'd be in control while she'd accept him.
He blushed and shook his head but then he was already too late, he'd already thought of her in another way and he couldn't think of her as just a friend anymore…he wanted more but he'd thought about the possibility of her also wanting more…nah, probably not.
Laura awoke with a startle as Rena bounced on her bed.
"What the…?" She was about to ask when Rena's head popped up in front of her.
"Laura, Laura, Laura guess what?" Rena beamed.
"What…?" Laura replied lazily.
"Did you know that ever since Dante arrived Vance has left you alone?" She grinned and jumped up and down more.
"Slow down, my brain is a wreck!" Laura complained.
Rena slowed down and sat on Laura's bed.
'Speaking of which, I haven't seen Dante since yesterday morning, wonder what he's doing, probably sleeping, lazy bum!' She smiled.
'Kenny has been really friendly this week, I wonder if he likes me?'
As quickly as that thought appeared it just as quickly disappeared.
"Man, today I don't feel like doing anything, just wanna lie in bed the whole day." Laura smiled and cuddled with her pillow.
"Oh yeah, it's weird, Nikki wasn't in her room this morning…probably to go and see off Modeus, I knew she liked him." Rena smiled. "I mean they both look so emo or Goth or whatever, they just suit each other, I wish they'd go out, they'd make a kinda cute couple."
"Hmm…" Laura just said and kicked Rena off her bed.
"Ok, ok I'm going." Rena grinned and rubbed her butt. "Man, you kick hard."
The next morning Dante met up with Modeus and Nikki in outside of class.
"What's up?" He greeted them.
They completely ignored him and he went to go and sit in his seat, Laura wasn't there but he wasn't surprised, she was either coming later or talking to someone in class.
He looked around to see if Vance was present, he was but Dante still didn't trust him.
Ever so often he would glare at Dante during classes, Dante would just glare back until he got the message, today was no different as Vance glared at him now and he just simply glared back with more edge.
Vance was growing popular amongst the guys, not from DMC but most of them from F.E.A.R, he usually had around two guys following him but that's increased to four.
Dante took it lightly, I mean he was a humble guy sometimes and he just hung with Modeus most of the time and Ryu and Ken when they met up somewhere on the grounds.
He was interrupted when someone poked him on the head.
"What the-!" He began but saw that it was Laura and immediately smiled. "Hey."
"Hey!" She smiled as she sat down.
He smiled back; his heart just skipped a beat again.
"I can't wait for today's lesson, I'm so gonna kick your ass." He grinned and poked her back.
"That's what you say all the time." She smirked and sank back in her seat.
"Yeah, yeah but I still beat you when I do say that." He smiled.
"Yeah…you do…" She trailed and looked out the window.
"Good morning, Miss Kinney." Kenny smiled as he took the seat opposite her.
"Good morning Kenny and you can call me Laura." She smiled widely.
He chuckled a bit and then leaned in closer.
"But I kinda like your surname too, Laura." He grinned.
She chuckled and soon he started to also, Dante grew frustrated in his seat.
He leaned back into his eat and smiled at her one last time before his seatmate arrived.
"Is that why you're so happy?"
"What do you mean, Kenny? She asked and turned to meet him.
"Yeah him."
"He's really sweet that's why…" Laura blushed.
Dante furrowed his brows; he wasn't going to argue, cos that would make it obvious, as much as he wanted to.
He quietly waited until the teacher came in. Homeroom went on quickly; they were reminded about their project. Dante had forgotten but Laura was clever and the same night she was tutored was the same night she'd completed her part of the project.
"Ok, Tuesday night, my place, bring yourself and your math books." He instructed as they walked to the next class.
"Uhh ok…Tuesday then." She smiled.
'Yes! It's a date!' He thought but shook his head in defiance. 'Not that kind of date.'
The rest of the day went quick as it came to the period of Master Logan's or Wolverine as he told them to call him earlier in the week.
On their way there Dante noted that Laura was acting a little strange today.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked as they walked to his class.
"Fine…why do you ask?" She said surprised.
"You…you're acting kinda weird today…" He said blankly.
"…"
"You sure, you're up for tomorrow night?" He scowled.
"Yeah, I'm sure…Dante?" She began.
He looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah…?" He said nervously.
"How would you feel if we…" She hesitated and his heart was racing. "How would you feel if we became best friends?"
Dante's heart sank but at least it was a step forward.
"…That would be weird but…great."
She saw through the fake smile, 'didn't he want to be best friends or is it just uncomfortable for him?'
"Hey, don't worry I'm excited, cos now you'll get to open up more tomorrow night." He grinned.
"I will…yeah…I will…" she smiled.
They arrived in class and Dante's heart was filled with joy and excitement, Laura was just glad that he'd agreed.
