Note: So yeah, I want to say thanks again to everyone reading and reviewing my story. I also want to inform you all that I'm currently in college so, there may be some times where I won't be able to update as often as I would like to but I'll try. Anyway, here we go!
Chapter 5
When I woke up the next day, my nose was still sore and bruised so of course, I had to put a bandage on it. Then I remembered that I was going to be hanging out with Chris today and my mood perked up a bit. I decided on wearing a charcoal colored top with black graphic print and rhinestones on the bottom, black foil print leggings, a gray cardigan with rhinestones, and dark gray converse. Then I did my makeup which was basically a smokey eye with some mascara and pink lip gloss.
When I arrived at Atomic Comics, my eyes widened and my mouth dropped open in shock. The place was now selling Kick Ass and Knockout merchandise. There was also a Kick Ass standee and a Knockout standee. Both of them had signs attached to them that said 'KICK ASS: The Comic! Coming Soon!' and 'KNOCKOUT: The Comic! Coming Soon!'
The video of Dave and I fighting those goons was also being featured on the news and other TV shows. I saw Dave at the table talking to Katie but I didn't want to butt in since they seemed to be having a good conversation. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Chris smiling at me.
I screamed excitedly and then hugged him. He looked really surprised at first but after a few seconds he hugged me back, "Glad you made it," I said.
He smiled a bit, "Hey, no problem. I was actually wondering if you wanted to come over to my place and maybe play some video games."
'God his lisp is eargasmic' I thought before nodding, "I'd love to." Then I looked over at Todd and Marty and they were making kissy faces at me. I let out a sarcastic laugh and flipped them off with both fingers causing them to turn around quickly. I gave a victorious smirk and I could hear Chris snickering behind me. Katie and Dave were now staring at me and I just mouthed 'don't ask.' Then, Chris and I got in the car and his bodyguard took us back to his place.
Once we arrived at this pretty cool looking building, Chris got out and held the door open for me.
"Aww thank you, you're such a gentleman," I giggled a bit and his cheeks turned red.
"No problem," He said and we walked into the building, "Holy shit! This is incredible!" I shouted as I looked around and the security guards stared at me, "You have security guards too?" I asked and he nodded.
Then it hit me, I was about ready to meet his mom, "Oh God, I'm getting ready to meet your mom! What should I do?! What if she doesn't like me?!" I kept rambling on and panicking until Chris cut me off, "Angelina relax, I know she's gonna love you."
I took a deep breath as Chris, his bodyguard, and I stepped into the elevator. I gave his hand a light squeeze when I saw that we were only one floor away, "Calm down, she's gonna be thrilled when she meets you, I promise." He whispered in my ear and I just gave a small nod.
We walked down the hallway and into the living room where his parents were, "Mom, I have someone I'd like you to meet," he looked at me, "This is Angelina."
"H-Hi Mrs. D'Amico, pleased to m-meet you…" I smiled shyly and shook her hand.
She returned the smile, "Please call me Angie, we've heard so much about you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Chris hasn't stopped talking about you," Frank said which caused Chris's cheeks turn red, "Welp, Angel and I are gonna go hang out in my room and play some video games! See you guys later!" He replied quickly as he practically dragged me away from them.
"Have fun son!" His dad called.
"DAD!"
"Use protection at all times!"
Both of his parents were laughing by now and so were we. Then Chris led me into his room and closed the door. I then looked around, his room was pretty cool. He had posters, an Xbox, a pretty big TV, and a big bed. As far as colors go, his walls were mostly red and black.
Then I noticed he had Guitar Hero 5 and my face lit up like a little kid on Christmas. He smirked and picked up the guitar, "Wanna play?"
"Fuck yeah!" I yelled and picked up a microphone. He turned on his TV and Xbox and within a minute or so, we were scrolling through songs to pick. I saw the song 'Rock you like a Hurricane' by the Scorpions and I screamed excitedly, "Let's do this one! Let's do this one!"
"Okay! Okay! Calm down!" He laughed as he selected it. Then the song started and I began to sing along to it.
Okay, I'll admit I'm no Christina Aguilera but I still didn't think I was the worst singer in the world. I mean, I was in my school choir up until my sophomore year so that had to count for something right?
As I continued to sing along, I was really getting into it. I was flipping my hair and leaning all the way back while I was on my knees, "Here I am!" I sang as the song ended and Chris and I had a pretty high score.
"Wow that was awesome. I didn't know you could sing like that," He said as he set the guitar down.
"Thanks, I mean I was in choir until my sophomore year and I've sung in the shower a few times before but I honestly think I sound like a dying cat..."
"Trust me, you're great," I looked into his eyes and before I knew it, he leaned in and kissed my lips softly. My eyes were wide at first but after a few seconds, I closed them and kissed him back. I placed my hand on his cheek and began to deepen the kiss but after a couple seconds he pulled away.
"Angelina I…" He started to say but I cut him off by kissing him again. This time, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I felt him move his tongue into my mouth and I responded my massaging my tongue against his.
My nose stung a little as his nose gently brushed against mine but I ignored it and continued to kiss him. After about a minute, I pulled away, a dazed expression was on my face and his facial expression was pretty much the same. "Wow…." I breathed, sounding like a complete dork.
He blushed slightly, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead"
"Erm, I'm no good at this but um, I really like you Angelina and I love hanging out with you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
I responded by kissing him again and after about 10 seconds, I pulled away, "Does that answer your question?" He just smiled and hugged me. Then I heard my phone vibrating in my bag. I sighed and looked at Chris, "I'm sorry; it's probably my parents…."
"Oh no, go ahead. If you have to go right now, I'll understand. Not that I want you to leave or anything, I don't. But if your parents really need you home..."
I cut him off, "I get it, you want me to stay..." I chuckled and took my phone out of my bag. There was a text from Dave; 'Hey Katie's been having some problems with an abusive ex of hers. Long story short, he won't leave her alone. Meet me at 1206 Elm Street in 45 minutes. Oh and the building number is 324. See you soon!'
I gave a small nod after reading the rest of it and then put it back in my bag. I looked back at Chris, "Hey I just got a text from my parents, they want me home, like now," I lied.
He nodded, "No worries, hey I'll have my bodyguard drive you home if you want?"
"Thanks, I'll see you later," I smiled and gave him one last kiss on the lips. His bodyguard drove me back to my house and I thanked him before he drove off. I told my parents I had fun with Chris. I also told them I was going to sleep which was another lie added to the list. Once I was in my room, I put on my costume and quietly crawled out my window.
