OK, if you see GNPOV means like, general POV. Instead of a personal perspective it's reading in a 3rd person perspective. And typing the same title over and over is tedious so I'll just type the chapter's name, toodles!
THE PARTY'S AFTERMATH: 31
GEPOV
Tanith and Ghastly left together. Ghastly decided to ride with Tanith on her bike, finally.
"Uh, are you sure this is safe?"
"You've ridden it before on the way here."
"I know, but know its dark."
"Don't worry, it's totally safe, C'mon. I'll take you home."
Ghastly blushed from the fact that he's the one being driven home.
"Thank you, Tanith."
"No worries, babe. Bye" Ghastly waved back and said good bye as Tanith drove home.
Skulduggery stayed behind for a little more. what do I tell her? he thought. Skulduggery stood in the door frame in the hall way as Valkyrie paced through cleaning up a little bit.
"Are you going to help me? Or just stand there?"
"I quite like it here." he admitted.
"Can you at least help me with something?"
"I guess I can." he started picking up glasses from tables and placing them in the dishwasher.
"Hey, remember 6 years ago?"
"Yes, I do, why?" Skulduggery asked, grabbing more glasses.
"When I was 12 I would have never thought that my best friend would be a skeleton."
"And I would've never thought that my first actual good partner would be my partner and closest friend."
"Aw, thanks Skulduggery." Valkyrie pondered at the idea of asking Skulduggery.
*Beep* Valkyrie checked her phone. She got a text from Tanith. It read "don't get mad but Skul knows he likes you". Valkyrie made a mental note to kill Tanith later. Her reply was "does he like me back?"
"I'm pretty sure, c'mon tell him" Valkyrie walked towards Skulduggery who was putting left over sushi in the garbage.
"Um, Skulduggery? I need to tell you something…" her stomach kept twisting and her heart was beating hard. "Skulduggery I really need to t-tell you something."
"Yes, what is it?" his voice sounded almost nervous.
"I like you." She felt a thousand times lighter.
"Me too."
"Really?"
"Yes, you are my closest friend."
"No. that's not what I meant. I mean I really like you. Like, like like you, get it?"
"I'm not quite sure what your talking about."
Valkyrie sighed loudly and continued, "I like have a, you know, a crush (?) on you. Heh." Valkyrie was sweating heavily so she took a drink.
"So you have a 'crush' on me? Is it like a big one err a little one?"
"Does it really matter?"
"To me, yes it does. It's because *sigh* I like you too." His voiced eased up. Valkyrie's face froze solid. "Re-really? You do? Holy crap" Valkyrie almost fainted, she barely took a breath at all. Silenced filled the house, until it was broken by a quiet gasp.
"Um, what was that?"
"I have no clue, but I have a pretty good idea… C'mon" Valkyrie headed towards the false bookcase. Skulduggery was trying to think this whole thing out. Valkyrie opens the door carefully to find Gordon peaking through as well. They both jump back. Skulduggery opened the door and glared at Gordon.
"Oh, hell. Gordon were you listening to our conversation, again?" Valkyrie demanded while Skulduggery helped her up.
"Y-yes. No. Maybe."
"What did you hear?" Skulduggery asked, crossing his arms.
"All of it" Gordon said, trying to look innocent.
"Well, what do you think?"
"I think I knew this was bound to happen! Ooh, I'm so happy."
Valkyrie and Skulduggery glanced at each other than at Gordon and started laughing. Gordon had no clue why. "Erm, why are you two laughing?"
"Laughter is a great way to break the awkwardness" Valkyrie said wiping her tears away.
"I think I should go, I need sometime to think this through… Bye Valkyrie, Gordon. Good night."
"Yeah, OK. Bye!" Valkyrie responded confusingly. She ran up to give him a hug. He didn't mind, Skulduggery embraced her arms and whispered, "Good night, Miss Cain."
"See you tomorrow, right? Mister Pleasant?"
"Mm hmm. I should go, Gordon looks like he's about to pee himself." Skulduggery freed himself and left closed the door behind him. Valkyrie could see the Cooper drive off into the darkness.
"So? What'd he say?" he did look like about to pee himself.
"God, Gordon, none of your business. Good night."
Gordon sighed loudly to show his disappointment as Valkyrie headed for the stairs. She thought of something, "Gordon! Do you think Skulduggery will like a 1950 Ford Coupe?"
"I'm pretty sure. Why?"
"Cute story, I killed his Bentley! But I'm buying him that Coupe!"
"Holy Crap! Eh. Good night, love bird!"
"Shut up" Valkyrie's face blushed red when Gordon called her 'love bird'.
Thanks for the reviews! Especially Cranium Mischief. Btw the way, keep the ideas coming for my short stories my imagination utter is running dry…
