Duncan grinned and his eyes flickered to the other side of the room, his eyes locked with Rintu's. Rintu paused and stood there, as if he was standing still while the rest of the world was still spinning.
Emilie broke both their concentration, "Rintu, are you coming? Look how cute Steffany and Duncan look together!" Duncan's eyes shifted to Emilie's smiling face. "Hah, why thank you!" He crookedly grinned at her, and his eyes quickly shifted back to Rintu's. Emilie followed Duncan's gaze and met Rintu's eyes. "This is my boyfriend, Rintu." She smiled nervously. "Oh, Sorry for being so rude. . . Hello, Rintu." He grinned, but something in his eyes just wasn't right. "Hey Duncan, nice to meet you." His lips pressed down hard together, forming a stern straight line, an uncomfortable look on his face. Emilie nudged Rintu, "Be nice." She hissed quietly so he could only hear. "Eh-hem!" Miranda cleared her throat, breaking the silence. Steffany glanced over at Miranda, "Oh yeah, and this is Miranda and Stone, the two love birds." Duncan chuckled, "Hello, love birds." He smirked.
"Nice to meet you Duncan!" Miranda yelled, and everybody in the restaurant looked up from there food to stare at her. "Oops. . ." She muttered under her breath. Stone chuckled, "Nice, just make a scene." Playfully grinning her poked her sides. "Stone! Stop it! Ugh!" Emilie giggled at the two, then glanced over at Duncan and Rintu again. The tension obviously hasn't left, she frowned. If her best friend's boyfriend couldn't get along with her's there was obviously something wrong. Rintu moved to Emilie's side and wrapped his arms around her waist, "I'm going to go use the restroom, is that alright? I'll be right back." Emilie looked up into his somber eyes, "Oh, yeah. Sure, just be back soon so we can eat?"
"Sure thing." He smiled and started walking towards the back of the restaurant. Duncan stood up next to Steffany and the table. "I have to go use the restroom too, I'll be back in a minute." He kissed Steffany on the cheek and gave her a smile she adored. Emilie suspiciously glared at him, then looked away after he gave her a reassuring smile. Something just didn't feel right. Duncan got up and smoothly walked to the back of the restaurant where Rintu had headed seconds before. Steffany looked over at Emilie and shrugged her shoulders, returning the same worried look she had spread across her face. Steffany glanced over at Miranda and Stone, who were now making out in a corner of the restaurant. Of course, Steffany wasn't one bit surprised. The waitor walked up to Stone and gently cleared his throat. "Eh-hem, may I take your order?" His voice was getting edgy. He was wearing a white, button-up shirt with brown shaggy hair. His apron held a small note pad, which he used to write down food orders.
"No thank you, sir." Stone barely lifted his face away from Miranda's. "Then I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave. You are being inappropriate by using public display of affection in a family restaurant, and you are not even giving us business, anyway." Stone took his lips away from Miranda's, and towered over the small waitor. "I think we have the right to display our love anywhere we want to!" His face looked stern, and his muscles tensed up. "You don't in a family restaurant! Sir, if you do not leave with your girlfriend right now I'm afraid I'll have to call security on you." The waitor's hand started reaching towards his pocket that held a wocky-tocky. "We don't need anymore stupid teen couples being inappropriate in public. . ." He sighed. "What was that?" Stone raised his fist. "What? Sir, calm down. It was nothing, I assure you!"
"It's sad because, I don't believe you!" Stone punched the small waiter in the face and tackled him to the ground. "Never insult my girlfriend again!" Miranda screamed, "Stone! Stop it! Now! Stop it!" She tried pulling him away but she was over powered. Security ran over to pull Stone off the small waiter and forced him towards the door. "Buddy, you picked the wrong place to pick a fight!" Stone snorted, "Well I believe I have the right to show my love to the women I love wherever I want to!" Miranda ran over and pleaded to the security guards to let him go, that it wasn't his fault. "Miss, I'm sorry but we're going to have to ask you and your little boyfriend to leave." Miranda pouted, "Yes sir, I understand."
"You're just lucky he's not pressing charges on you!" The security man yelled in frustration as he threw Stone out the door. "You better stay out! Stupid kid." Miranda glanced over at Steffany and Emilie who were staring, shrugged her shoulders in embarrassment and walked outside the door to sit on the curb with Stone. Steffany looked over at Emilie who was still staring at the poor waiter, "Wow. That was stupid, poor waiter!" Steffany sympathetically looked at the poor guy. "I know! Ugh, stupid Stone! He wasn't even saying anything about Miranda, he's so jealous." There was so much chattering in the restaurant, but all of a sudden it all stopped. It was dead silent; nothing was heard except a television broadcast on BCB News.
"Today is a tragic day; one teenager has been killed in the local Starbucks Coffee. Her name was Eleena Moysong, she was found dead this morning in the corner of this coffee shop. She died from blood loss, with multiple cut wounds found around her neck, arms, and legs. No weapon has been discovered yet. The time of death is said to be last night, around 10:00pm. She was the last one there to be closing the shop. All the doors were locked and there were no signs of a break in, Police suspect that she had been in the room with her before it happened. We have one suspect; witnesses said she had been seen around the Starbucks coffee around the time of the murder. She is a fugitive with the name Big Red. If anyone has seen this suspect or has any information about this crime at all please contact the BCB News immediately. We will now show you the picture of this suspect."
"Oh my God." Emilie quickly stood up from the small table. "It can't be. . . How is this happening? What about Ku-rai? Why is this. . ." Her voice was cut off into tears. Steffany quickly got up to be by her side. "It's okay Emilie! Don't Cry! We'll find the person who did this! We'll make them pay with our mafia skills!" Emilie looked up at her with half drained eyes and black tear stained cheeks. Steffany's comforting smile sank, she didn't know what to say or even do other then to be there for her. "You just stay right here, okay? I'm going to go get Duncan and Rintu and maybe they'll know what to do!" She jogged off to the back of the restaurant near the men's restroom and cracked the revolving door. Steffany pushed open the door and walked right in, determined to help her best friend. "Rintu! Emilie's sobbing in tears! She needs you. Duncan, I need you. Please hurry up and come back to the table, please. . ." She begged, but had no reply. "I'm not leaving until you two come out!" she frowned with another silent reaction.
"Guys?" She whispered, worrying about where they both may be. Steffany quickly ran out of the men's restroom and into the fancy decorated hall. "Did they just leave like this? Did they disappear? This is not the time or place. . . I can't believe this is happening, now." She mumbled to herself, then caught a flash of green and black hair in the corner of her eye. "Duncan!" She yelled. "Where the hell have you been? I've been worried and looking for you! Listen we need to get back to the tabl-" She froze in her place, and stood there. Duncan has Rintu cornered to a wall, both with annoyed looks on there faces. She could hear them talking quietly, she went behind the nearest wall and tried to listen in. "You're one of us, aren't you? I could sense it. I know what you are, and why you are here." Duncan hissed. Rintu smirked, "What ever are you talking about, dearest friend?" Duncan became furious and frustrated. "What are you, then? Hm? A simple human? No. You have powers, and i know about it for sure. I'm damn sure about it, Rintu." Duncan hissed once again, his eyes sparked like a fire ready to start. "Prove what you are, and I will prove what i am." Rintu's eyes narrowed. "Unless you're bluffing."
Duncan's eyes lit up with rage, "Fine, if you want to do it your way. Quickly though, soon Steffany and Emilie will be wondering why we have been away from the table for so long." Rintu put out his hand for Duncan to shake, "It's agreed then." He smirked. Duncan grabbed his hand and shook it firmly. "Watch now, here's my proof." Duncan looked towards an unlit candle and sqinted his eyes, concentrating. The candle started to develope a small flame, flickering from gravitational winds surrounding it. The fire ignited in huge flames. Steffany gasped as Duncan turned around, "Steffany! We were just heading back to the table to-" He got cut off. "Who are you? What are you? What haven't you told me? This whole relation ship has been a. . . Lie?" She started to cry. "No! Steffany, I love you! Please, can we just talk? I don't want to lose you. I Just couldn't tell you i don't think you would have understood. . ." He looked down at his feet. Steffany came up to him and held his hands, "You have to trust me, Duncan. You can tell me anything and I'll try my best to always understand, baby." Duncan looked up at her glistening eyes and smile. "Oh and by the way, the fire thing? That's pretty hot." She smirked at him, he adored her. Duncan's eyes narrowed as he turned his head to look at Rintu, who was leaning against the wall that he used to be cornered in. "There's your proof, now i want mine."
"Okay, okay. I'll give you my proof. But I think Steffany came here to tell us something, right?" Rintu raised on eyebrow towards her. "Oh, yeah! Shit! I forgot about Emilie! We have to go cheer her up! Remember Eleena from the Starbucks and how she was supposed to be hanging out with Ku-rai? Well she was found dead this morning. . . She had blood loss, and it was just. . . terrible. So she's upset about her dying, plus we're not sure what happened with Ku-rai." Rintu stood up straight, "Oh my God." He ran to the corner of the restaurant down the fancily decorated hall in panic. "This is bad, this is really bad." He whispered to himself. A crowd of people were standing near a corner where they were once all sitting.
Rintu pushed himself through the crowd and found Emilie lying there curled up into a ball, crying. "Excuse me, please move. There's nothing to see here. Go back to what you were all doing!" Rintu swooped Emilie up into his arms and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Everything will be alright, I promise, love." He pushed back the hair from her eyes and dryed each tear, one by one and then kissed her gently once again. "There both gone, Rintu. I'll never be able to see there faces again, and I can't believe it. It's just so hard, I can't do this I can't deal with this now, not right now. I was just begining to become happy, I was with you and my closest friends and then this happens." She sobbed so hard it was becoming harder for her to breathe, she began having a panic attack while lying there in Rintu's arms.
"Calm down Emilie, hold your breathe then release, okay? Just calm down, baby. Everything will be okay we just have to figure this all out, I promise i will make things okay again." He held her close to his perfectly carved body. "No you can't!" She sobbed and spoke between breaths. "You can't make it okay again! There gone! Gone forever!" She started to sob harder, as Rintu began to think he had just made things worse. He frowned, "I know i can't bring them back, I'm sorry. I can try to make things better, if you let me try." Emilie looked up into his somber eyes through her glassy tears, and just leaned her face into his chest, crying. Rintu kissed her head, one last time before hearing giggling voices behind him. Furiously he turned his head to find out it was just Miranda and Stone giggling about how they had just snuck into the retaurant once again while nobody was looking.
"We're so bad! I can't believe we did that! Hee hee." Miranda giggled. "I know! We're such badasses, rebels! We're amazing, babe!" Stone started to kiss her again, which led to leaning against the table and hardcore making out. Rintu rolled his eyes, annoyed by them not even caring about there friends and the situation. "Stone! I got to pee. I'll be right back, baby!" Miranda walked down the hall towards the womens restroom, but then Duncan leaning against a wall caught her attention. "Hey, you waiting for the restrooms too?" Miranda asked curiously. "I'm waiting for the love of my life to return, my princess." He grinned. "Aw you're waiting for me? But i haven't even left yet!" She winked towards him. "Are you supposed to be hitting on me? I barely know you, plus your Steffany's friend and she's my girlfriend." He scowled. "I know, i see you two together, you just don't look. . . Happy. I can make you happy if you want, baby."
Miranda pushed Duncan up against the wall and ran her hand down his thigh. "You like that?" She licked her lips. "Get the fuck off me, your dirty whore! You have a boyfriend, and i have my girlfriend!" Duncan smacked her hand away from him and pushed her aside. "Don't touch me you pathetic wannabe of a punk rockstar!" She trotted into the nearest restroom door. "Jeaz, someone has issues." Duncan slightly brushed off his pant leg, "That girl probably would have given me AIDS just by touching me, that's how dirty she is." His eyes narrowed. "Sorry for keeping you, i was fixing my hair in the restroom for you." She chuckled. He ran up to her, picked her up, and twirled her around. "I missed you, princess. You shouldn't keep me that long." He smirked. "Sure, because you totally missed me when i was gone for two whole minutes." She spoke sarcastically. "Ah, I love it when you talk dirty to me." Duncan winked and became playfully slapped in the arm, "You pervert!" Steffany giggled. "Only for you!" He sat down on the floor with her in his lap and they both just laughed. Duncan stared up into her eyes, and kissed her. Not just a regular kiss that he usually gave her, this was more passionate, not as gentle.
Duncan started kissing her harder, his hands running up and down her arms as they both became out of breath. The electric currents running through their veins, the heat traveling faster to her flushed cheeks as it's the most unforgetable, magical moment imaginable. Once their kissing progresses she feels alive, wanting to just taste the sweetness hidden throughout his lips. "There he is, the guy who tried to make out with me!" Their moment is ruined, Duncan faces the familiar voice in rage of missing his moment, their moment. Miranda stood there next to Stone, while he was flexing his muscles, and pointing to Duncan. "How dare you try to makeout with my girlfriend!" Stone scorned. "Me make out with her? Are you serious? Like I'd ever even touch that little hoe. She's got STD's written all over her!"
