K so .. it's been .. amazingly long since I last updated. 2006? xD I doubt anyone still reads this .. to be honest I actually typed this up like a few days before I posted the last two chapters. (Don't ask why I remember that) But, I figured if there are any faithful readers left, to just post this chapter and not keep you waiting. Thanks for reading! (or at least clicking on my story ;D) Enjoy (don't forget to read & review!)
"Lets go inside instead," I said, leading him to the guest room. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep next to him. I woke up to a pair of eager looking eyes. At first they scared the crap out of me since they were in my face. Those eager eyes belonged to Brianna. She looked shocked for some reason. What? It wasn't like I was doing anything bad .. Or awkward .. Am I?
I looked around the room. It was the guest room. Why was I here? I was about to get out of bed when I noticed a hand on my waist. What the hell?! Whose hand is that?! I uncovered the mystery guest beside me. Dun dun dun .. It was Dark. I put two and two together and figured out why Brianna was giving me that look.
"Oh no you don't .. This looks wrong.. " I began. Just then Cameron walked in the room with Risa.
"Hey Mira I know you probably don-..." Cameron stopped in mid sentence and gave me a hurtful look along with Risa who looked in the middle of bursting into tears.
Just then Dark awoke from his sleep. "What's this noise for? Don't you people know what time it is?" He said, rubbing his eyes.
I finally realized why everyone was so uptight. Dark was in his boxers and I had his t-shirt on. This whole scenario was wrong! I'm not a skank! I'm not a cheater, I'm not a liar, I'm not .. Wait .. Am I? Nothing happened, but it sure doesn't look like it. All I did was fall asleep .. And magically change clothes? This is bad .. Very bad. I jumped out of bed. "Dark! Don't you realize what's happening?" I was just about ready to smack him. Why did this have to happen? Why me? Why now?
"Nope I didn't real- oh ..Hey Risa baby what's up?" He said nervously. Risa didn't answer at all and just ran out of the room. Cameron was still standing there in awe.
"Wow Mira, I didn't know you were capable of this. I guess I was just your rebound huh? Funny .. I had a feeling this would happen," he said. He leaned against the wall, almost afraid to leave but too angry to stay.
Even if I told him the truth, I doubt he would believe it. Hell .. I almost don't believe it. "Come here," I said, taking Cameron by the hand. I led him to the backyard where we could talk in private. He wouldn't look me in the eye. In a way, I couldn't blame him. "I doubt you'll believe me, I don't care if you don't. You knowing the truth is what I care about. Nothing happened between us last night, or even this morning. He came over last night to talk. And that's exactly what we did, nothing more. I let him stay since it was late. You would do the same," I said. Cameron looked distant so we just stood in silence for a while.
"Why? What was so important that he just had to ask his now taken ex-girlfriend?" he asked. Taken? Ok, so this means that he's not dumping me .. Right?
"Cam you're making it so much worse than it already is. What he needed to talk about is something I can't tell you," I said. I guess that's not what Cameron wanted to hear because then he just walked away. I walked back to the scene of the so called crime, the guest room. Dark was still there, scratching his head and disbelief. He looked towards me.
"You look kind of cute in my shirt."
"Shut up. This is all your fault Mousy," I said, taking it off and throwing it at him. Dark stared at me for a while."What? It's not like you of all people hasn't seen a bra before," I said, walking away. I headed up to my room to grab a towel and take a shower. You know that feeling that just eats you inside, the feeling that today isn't going to be a good day? Yep, that's the feeling I have now; and it's not feeling too lovely. I caught up with Brianna in the kitchen afterward. The house was pretty silent which was weird. Brianna and I are the loudest people on the planet. Screaming, laughing our lungs out, running around .. You know, just plain chaotic.
"So wanna explain why Dark had no pants and you were wearing his shirt?" she said while staring into the microwave as it heated up her breakfast.
I sighed. I think she's the only one that will believe me, so I might as well tell her. "I don't know. The only thing I do know is that Dark sleeps in his boxers. Just don't ask about that. Why I was wearing his shirt is actually a good question... I guess I was hot and switched from that sweatshirt I was wearing. I don't really remember."
"Whatever," she said. Brianna was about to take a sip of her coffee when I stopped her. Caffeine + meds + Brianna God knows what. But whatever it is, it's not good. I reminded her to take her medication and I was out the door. I was just about to call Cameron on my cell when Tyler called me.
"Dude," he said.
"Did you hear?" I asked. I had a feeling he knew, why else would he be awake at noon on a Wednesday?
"Yea, it sucks. But let's go to the movies, take your mind off things," he said, trying to sound enticing.
I thought for a minute. Maybe this was a good idea.. I mean .. Tyler is my friend. It wouldn't hurt.. would it? "Alright, I'll call you back later. I've got someone else on the line." It was Risa. Didn't see that coming right? She wanted to meet up and talk. Good or bad? Only time will tell..
I was just about to turn around, go home and take the car and drive off to Risa's house when I caught up with Hio. "Hey baby sis!" She squeiled while hugging me tightly. Some people love their siblings .. I can do without mine .. at least for now.
"What do you want?" I asked, getting impatient.
"I'm taking you to Daiki's house!" She squieled again while snatching my car keys from me and shoving me into the passenger's seat. Daisuke wasn't at the top of my priorty list. He somehow reminded me of Dark.
It was amazing that Hio still had her license. What kind of idiot gave her a license anyway?! On the way there she almost hit 10 squirells, almost got stuck in 9 ditches, tipped over 8 cones, practically bumped into 7 parked cars, broke 6 rear view mirrors attached to passing cars, hit 5 trashcans, missed hitting 4 18-wheelers, missed 3 mailboxes, ran over 2 cats, and finally arrived at Daisuke's house before hitting another trashcan. I was just about ready to puke from all the last minute turns and rapid stops.
"Next time, I'm driving," I said, holding on to a lamppost to regain my balance. "Why are we here anyway?"
Hio paused for a second, "I dunno. DAIIIIIIIKI-SAAAAN!" she screeched from outside the house. A window opened and Daisuke appeared and quickly hid when he saw that it was Hio that was calling. I, on the other hand, was on my way sneaking to Risa's house. When I finally arrived, I didn't have to ring the doorbell. She was already behind the door, waiting.
"Nothing happened right?" she said immediately.
"Nope, nothing at all," I said happily. At least one person understands ..
"Good, I had a feeling Dark was going to dump me," Risa looked down at the ground and stood silent. Wow .. he thinks she'll dump him .. she thinks he'll dump her .. just peachy right?
"Risa, why are you talking to me? I'm not saying that I don't want to talk to you, it's just that .. you're not mad at me? At all?" I asked. It didn't really make sense to me. After just kissing Dark .. I didn't talk to her up until now, even when she tried to apologize. I didn't even apologize and she's talking to me.
"I was ready to pounce on you and strangle you with your own intestines .. It was all just a misunderstanding right? So no one gets strangled," Risa said as she smiled. Damn .. is it just me or does she have an inner violent side to her?
I murmured to myself, " Seems like you two have got a lot of talking to do."
"What?" she asked.
"Heh ..nothing.. I've actually got to now. I'll talk to you later ok?" I said nervously. I don't think it's safe to be near her right now .. especially after she mentioned strangling me with my own body parts ..
I was safely out the door and walking back to my house. Once I arrived home, I walked toward the kitchen. There was something red underneath the kitchen table. I walked over to the table and lifted up the table cloth. The red underneath the table was Daisuke's hair. How did he get here?
"I bet you're wondering how I got in," he said. "I hopped the fence, tripped over your sprinkler and accidentally turned it on, ran into the glass door that led into your dining room since I had no idea it was closed, climbed up your tree in the backyard but then fell then just walked in through the backdoor since I had a key." WHAT IS WITH ALL OF THESE KEYS?!
"One question for you Daiki .. Why?" I was curious as to why he went through all that trouble getting in and finding a crappy hiding spot like under the table.
"Oh, Hio was chasing me," he said, shuttering at the thought. "I figured I'd come here since this is the last place she'd look for me. Even the boys' bathroom at school isn't safe."
I went to the fridge and grabbed him a soda, "You poor thing." As the day went by, I hung out with Daisuke, just talking about anything and everything. We reminisced on how we were so innocent as children and how we've grown up to be the dramatic-chaotic-outrageous 19 year olds we are now. Around 5 o'clock Tyler came by to pick me up and I asked Daisuke to tag along. There's no way I can get into more trouble with Daisuke around. He's the least dramatic-problem-causing-person among all of us.
We were about half way into the movie when Tyler's cell phone rang.
"Darling you're my naughty boy, you got the touch and I can't get enough.
I'm a ladies man, always ready to answer a call
Just give me a changes, and I will give you all
Yeah, i am the one who never ever close the door
Darling, come with your flower, and I will give you more
I'm your sexbomb.
Hold me tight.
Darling come with your flower.
I'm your naughty boy"
"That's Brianna calling isn't it?" I whispered to Tyler.
He looked down to his phone to send her a text message. " Yea how'd you know?"
"The ringtone suits her," I murmured.
Read and Review please!
