Dice's POV
The girl started the engine and started driving. "So, I didn't get your name," she said as her eyes were focused on the road.
"Dice," I told her.
"Dice," she repeated. "Like a pair of dice."
"Yep," I said.
"Well, Dice. My name is Shawnee."
"Shawnee, huh? That's a pretty name."
"Thank you," she said. "Your name's pretty cool, too."
The rest of the ride was silent until we got to her house. And MAN! Her house was huge! Okay, not "mansion" huge, but really huge.
"Here we are," she said as she opened the door and stepped inside.
"Wow!" I exclaimed as I looked around. "This place is amazing!"
"Thanks," she chuckled.
"So, uh..." I tried to think of what to say so I could get rid of the silence.
Before I could say anything, a guy about Shawnee's age came down the stairs with a green towel wrapped around his body. He looked over at me, then at Shawnee. "Honey, who is this?" he asked her.
Honey? I thought to myself. Shawnee has a boyfriend?
"Oh, this is Dice," she told him. "I found him on the streets. He told me he was lost so I decided to take him home."
"Are you insane?!" the guy shouted. "That's kidnapping!"
"No, it's not, David," she said calmly. "Kidnapping is when you take someone without their permission. Dice gave me his permission to take him home with me. And also he was with his friend until she got arrested."
"She got arrested?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. He looked over at me. "What did she do?"
"A-a-are you guys dating?" I asked, not answering his question.
"No, sweetie," Shawnee said. "We're married."
My heart started sinking deeper.
"Dice, honey. What's wrong?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.
I didn't want her to know that I had feelings for her. I especially didn't want David to know. The guy looked pretty scary and could kill me if he found out that I like his wife.
"I-I-I miss my friend," I said. I tried to look like I was crying, but I sucked at acting so...
"Oh, Dice, sweetie," Shawnee said, bending down next to me to hug me. "Don't worry. You'll see your friend again."
I smiled as she hugged me. That was the best lie that I've ever told.
Hey, guys! Sorry, this chapter isn't my very best, but I hope you like it anyway. :)
