Oh wow chapter three so soon! It must be a miracle! Hello everyone I have chapter three here all and ready for you~
Ya'll should be over the moon that you didn't have to wait a long while for the next instalment X3
Well enjoy you lovely lovely people, hopefully you like this one as much as the last one ^^
*Also this one is a little bit longer then the last one, so that's another good thing yeah?*
I'm also starting the next chapter as of now, so don't worry, it will be up sooner than later!
"I can't tell if you're making all of this up or not" Horuss ate another couple of chips. It was Sunday afternoon, Meulin and Horuss sat in her living room in front of the television as Meulin couldn't hold in the story of last night.
"What do you mean making it up? I swear it's true! It was the best thing to happen to me Horuss, and oh my gosh he was … rather cute actually" she shoved more food into her mouth, feeling her cheeks grow slightly warmer.
"Well then … did you two … do anything?"
She choked on her food, jolting forward at the statement. "Do anything? It's like you don't even know me at all! … I'm not that kind of girl"
"Yes yes I know, I'm just pulling your leg Meu. Did you at least kiss or something?" He nudged his elbow into her side softly, trying not to laugh at her too much.
"Well …. No, I sort of left him in that room, I needed to get home early and plus, I'm … too nervous for something like that, I just met the guy! Although, I did get his number."
"OHMYGODYOUGOTHISNUMBERDIDYOUTEXTHIMALREADY?" Horuss nearly jumped out of his skin and looked more excited than Meulin did when she actually got Kurloz's number.
"Horuss calm down! No I haven't texted him yet, I thought it would be too … early? Or something, I don't know, I'm just nervous all of a sudden!"
"Oh just text him, you have nothing to lose and I'm sure he'd be over the moon to get a text from you!"
"Pssh yeah alright, later though, I don't need you breathing down my neck as I use my phone!"
It was only until the late hours of Sunday that Meulin could finally get away from Horuss's constant questions about Meulins new-found crush, Kurloz.
It was also that point in time when Meulin thought it was about time to do what Horuss said, and finally text him; she took her phone out of her bag and hesitantly scrolled down to find his name. She couldn't help but feel pain in her chest as her heart raced as fast as it could go.
*Compose Message to Kurloz Makara* "Hey, You remember me from Meenah's party? I was the one that spent most of the night in that room with you, but had to leave suddenly? (=^•ω•^=)"
*Compose another message to Kurloz Makara* "Oh man that sounded dirty, I'm so sorry! (= ; v;=)"
Meulin went to send another message about how she would have planned her first sentence better, but decided to leave it at that, he would understand right?
She placed her phone onto her bedside table and moved out of her room to go have a bath to calm her nerves, than possibly get something to nibble on for later.
Half an hour later she came back into her bedroom, dressed in new pyjamas and a bowl full of chocolate bits to pick at. She sat down on her bed and reached for her phone, flicking it open to find a new message from, no one other than Kurloz, reading it slowly as to not take away that small moment she thought she was happening.
*1 Message from Kurloz Makara* "Yeah of course I remember you; I've been waiting for a text from you all day! And don't worry, you don't have to fake-flirt with me, we can save all of that for later on~ ;o)"
Meulin couldn't help but squeal with excitement, and then tried to retain herself as she replied.
*Reply to Kurloz* "Oh please, you'd have to buy me dinner first for that (^•o•^)"
After a few minutes and some chocolate bits taken from the bowl.
*2 Message from Kurloz* "Oh damn the kitten has claws! I would buy you an entire restaurant, just saying ;o)"
"Can I see you tomorrow? I know you probably have school and all but I mean I can wait a whole day just to see you but yeah … I think I'm starting to sound motherfucking corny over here :oI"
One again she squealed, she couldn't help it, the thought of meeting him again brought butterflies to her stomach and they were on a rampage.
*Message to Kurloz* "Well yeah, of course! I finish school at around 2:15pm, will you be free then? Also, what will be doing exactly? (^• o•^)"
*1 Message from Kurloz* "Perfect, I have a few errands to run but I can finish them before then, and we won't be doing much, your school actually isn't that far from my house, so if you don't have any homework to do then you can come and watch movies at mine? Just movies, I won't try anything, trust me"
*Message to Kurloz* "Most of my homework is done; I can do that rest at school, so that will be fine. And I don't picture you as someone who would try something this soon, so it's fine, I'll meet you out the front of my school then?"
*1 Message from Kurloz* "Sounds like a sweet motherfucking plan, I'll see you then! :o)"
Meulin was a little surprised that she could even sleep that night, her nervousness kept her awake for a few hours as she tried her hardest to keep her eyes shut and try not to think about tomorrow, yet soon enough, her phones alarm-clock started charming; telling her that it was time for her to finally get up and get ready for a busy day.
During her mornings usual schedule, Meulin made sure to make everything was perfect, taking extra body-deodorant just in case she might get a little 'stinky' by the time she finished her classes, she didn't want to make a bad second meeting with him.
As her school day pressed on, a bit more slowly than usual, Meulin could feel herself once again become more nervous, keeping an eye on each clock in every one of her classrooms in hopes that it would make her time go slower which meant more time for her to try and forget.
Until the bell went at 2:15 sending students rushing to their lockers, eager to get home and go back to bed or into town to be the first in-line at the food-courts. Except for Meulin, she went to her locker feeling as though she was in a cold sweat, getting her bag and some scribbled Fan-fictions for when she got home.
By the time she was out the front of the school, she could already see a tall figure leaning onto a jet-black car, still with that disguisable messy hair. Meulin walked forward, not catching his eye but noticing others as they walked by giving him strange glances and wondering who he was, and most importantly who he was waiting for.
"Ahh there she is, are you ready? Don't need to get anything or drop anything off at yours?" He smiled at her, that warm smile, like the one he had when he first looked at her.
"No no I'm fine, I don't have much so yeah, I'm ready!" she smiled back, watching as he opened the passenger-side door for her and closing it behind her, moving over to the driver's side and getting in.
"Good, so have any movies that you want to watch? I have a few at home so I'll probably have whatever you're looking for" Kurloz tried to keep his eyes on the road, he felt it was hard to keep his eyes off of her for a few minutes let alone a whole 10 minute drive from Meulins school to his place.
"Oh, well no not really, I guess anything adventurous or horror is good with me, but you should really choose, I mean I am the guest and all but I'm usually bad at making decisions"
"Well you mustn't be THAT bad if you made the right decision in coming and hanging out with me"
"Well then I'm just bad at deciding on what movies to watch" They both chuckled and continued to make wise-crack jokes at each other until they pulled into Kurloz's driveway.
His house was rather large, from what Meulin thought was large, it was at least a 4 bedroom home, it was two-story and had a small messy front lawn that was riddled with weeds. Kurloz got out quickly and ran to open the door for Meulin once again.
"Do you do this to all the girls you bring home?" she joked, taking his hand and got out of the seat as he closed the door behind her.
"Only the ones I think I have a shot with"
They walked into the home and sat in the lounge room on one of the two shabby looking couches, centimetres apart as the movie started playing, Kurloz only having his arm resting on the top part of the couch behind Meulins head in attempt to not 'ruin' the moment.
"Have you seen this movie before?" he whispered to her, it only took around 35 seconds of silence for him to remember that she actually was deaf and was already far too interested in the movie to make small chit-chat with him.
As they watched on with the film, which was mostly Meulin flinching at 'scary' scenes and Kurloz watching her with a constant smile on his face as he thought about how cute she looked in the light from the TV.
And when the movie neared the end, Meulin hadn't noticed that by now she was leaning against Kurloz's chest with his arm draped around her shoulders. Yet, once the movie had finally finished and the credits started rolling up the screen, she came back down to 'earth', looking up at him and noticing he had fallen asleep during some point during the movie, his head resting on the back of the couch. She was too nervous to move from her spot, she liked it, but it made her feel uncomfortable at the same time.
It was only about 20 minutes later that they laid like that on the couch, that Kurloz finally jolted awake after a car sped past honking it's horn, sitting up straight and removing his arm from her shoulders so she could sit up herself.
"Oh man, sorry little kitty, I must have fallen asleep during the movie, what did you think of it?"
Meulin moved a little bit away from him, just to sit up straight to look at him, only catching the last part of his sentence,
"The movie? Yeah it was good, I mean sorry the subtitles on and everything, I know it must have been annoying for you"
"No no its fine, I mean sometimes I have to have the sub's on because I miss a lot of stuff, especially when I fall asleep like I just did" He chuckled, still looking at her with a smile.
"Heh well then, should we put on another movie or did you want to do something else?"
"Something else aye?-"
"I didn't mean it like that!" she, unintentionally, yelled at him, stopping him from saying any-more and pushing his chest playfully.
"I know, I know. But it's nearly 5, so did you want to stay for dinner or…?" he moved closer to her and put his arm around her again, wishing for her to stay longer.
"Yeah of course, what exactly will we be having?" She let him hold her, moving slightly closer so that they were just that little bit closer, it was nice to be hugged by someone other than her mother or Horuss.
"Well I'm not that good a cook, so is Spaghetti fine? It's probably the only thing I can't burn other than pies of course."
"Sounds perfect, did you want me to help at all? I used to help my mum a lot with making dinner, so yeah"
"Of course little kitty, I'd love you to help" He leaned in close to her face and brushed his lips against her cheek, moving away abruptly as soon as he realised what he had just done,
"I'm sorry I had no idea where tha-"
"No it's fine. Though you kind of missed" her words were a little soft as her cheeks flushed a light red, leaning in soon after and quickly kissing him on the lips.
'Woah where did that come from Meulin? That was sort of … sudden, and nothing like you! You seem to be doing that on pure female instinct, I should maybe calm down, and this is the first 'date' after all' she thought to herself, getting up from the couch and holding onto his wrist.
"Let us go make dinner then?" she tried to change the subject, 'Ok so you kissed him, well done Meulin, just, take it slow from now on'
"Yeah, Ok" He was still a little shocked from the sudden kiss, letting her help him up from the couch and led her to his kitchen with his hand now out of her grasp and resting on her waist.
As they made their dinner, Meulin tried to calm down on the sudden flirts that she was sending to Kurloz, making sure not the make the tension grow as it was only just their 'first date'. After throwing some spaghetti at the walls, and at each-other, they sat down at his dining room table to finally eat their meal.
They sat across from each other with one lit candle in the middle, Kurloz never really saw the use of it as he could have just left the light on in his dining room, but Meulin convinced him that it would make the whole thing seem more 'romantic', just like the plot to one of her favourite Fan-fictions.
"Wow, this is really good, guess we did a good job" she mumbled in-between eating her food, accidentally getting some of the sauce on her cheek; she didn't even notice it was there.
"Yeah- Oh you got something just there" Kurloz pointed to his face, at least where he thought that it would give her enough help to find it on her own face.
"Oh? … Here?" she rubbed the right side of her face; it was in the right position but on the wrong side.
Kurloz just snickered and reached across the table "No right here"
He placed his hand on her cheek and rubbed off the food from her face, keeping his hand resting there for a few seconds before moving it away.
"Th-thanks" She rubbed her cheek, just to make sure that everything was washed from her face or was it because she wanted to hide her blushing face?
As they finished off their food and both cleaned up the kitchen after making a minor 'mess' when they were slurping up the food, They retreated back to the couch and put on another movie (One that Meulin had chosen this time), both hoping they could catch another just before Meulin had to leave to go home.
As they both sat there on the couch, in the same position as before, but this time, with Meulin who was hugging her legs to her chest and her head resting on Kurloz's shoulder, they watched on, not feeling at all a little bit tired this time.
"So, does she kn-"
"Yeah"
"But he doesn't know that-"
"Nah, he doesn't know that she knows"
"Then why doesn't she just tell him it would make the movie a whole lo-"
"Shh Kurloz! Just watch the movie and you'll understand it all in the end" she placed a finger on his mouth to tell him to shoosh, he happily accepted her request and kissed her finger before she moved it, causing her to blush for the 3rd time that night.
Meulin sat back into the couch like a shy kitty and took out her phone so she could see what the time was, it was 9:45pm, she would usually be getting ready for bed or on bad nights, she would already be IN bed.
"Oh wow, it's 9:45"
"Is that late Kittykat?"
"Well, sort of, I'm usually having a bath now and getting ready for tom-"
"Let me drive you home then, I wouldn't want you to miss a bath, especially when I could be in it~"
He pulled her back towards him on the couch and hugged her from behind, resting his head on her right shoulder.
Meulin just giggled and pushed him back a little, "Ah but then I wouldn't ready for tomorrow, I'd be too exhausted~"
"But I still should really be getting home and all" she added in after a second when the two had ceased giggling..
"Yeah I know, Let me just get my jacket and keys" He slowly let go of her and got off of the couch, disappearing out of the room as Meulin began to get up and got her things ready.
A short while later and he was back, sporting a black jacket with yet another skeletal frame printed on the chest and arms,
"Alright, you ready?" He put his keys into his pocket and reached to open the door for her.
"Yep, if I left anything here, I'll probably just come back another day to grab it."
"Or, y'know, you could just here when ever to just see me?" He said to her as she made her way through the door and out towards the car,
"Well yeah, that too" She smiled at him as they both got into the car together with Kurloz opening the car door for her once again.
It only took around 20 minutes for them to reach her house, trying to give directions to places wasn't the easiest thing for Meulin, But once they finally made it to Meulins home, Kurloz parked out the front and turned the motor off before looking over at her,
"So, did you have fun? Hanging out with me that is, even though I did sort of fall asleep at one point" he scratched the back of his head, smiling at her like always,
"It was fun, and you looked adorable when you were asleep, so it's fine!"
He began to blush a little, oh how she loved to see him blush, even if it was just a little bit.
"So, did you want me to walk you to your door? Do guys still do that now-a-days?"
"I would be delighted if you could do that Mr Makara" she tried to speak in-between her giggles,
"Well then m'lady, shall we go?" He opened his door, walked around the front of the car and opened Meulins door for her once again, reaching out his hand for her to take, which she did after getting her things and tried to stop her excessive giggling.
They both walked to Meulins front door, hand in hand, until Meulin had to let go to get out her keys, but before she could even look into her bag, Kurloz embraced her with his hands resting on her waist and began kissing her.
Meulin couldn't help but rest her hands on his shoulders and responded by kissing him back, under the dim light from her front porch.
