I waited in the living area in a better mood than before. I sat at my usual seat, at the foot of the table. I had my chair turned toward the window behind me; this was my pastime as I waited for everyone. This same window, I was so happy to fix to meet Maya. I chuckled to myself. I wish I could go back and stop my enthusiastic self from being so happy about it. Too late now.
"The stars are beautiful tonight."
After a while, the door barged open, but no one came inside. Seems like they are here, I'd better go see.
As I walked to the middle of the room, that was when Remen jumped into the room from the hallway.
"Eh?"
He wore a long-sleeved white buttoned shirt with stylized embroidery. However, half the buttons were not buttoned. It exposed his chest and tattoos, and then he wore slightly slender black pants. He gelled his spiky hair and slit his eyebrows.
He stood there, revelling in his aura with an evil grin. He really went all out. Where are we going that he has to wear something this fancy? I didn't think any of us could afford this.
"How can you afford this?"
"Hmph," he smiled at me," not everyone is broke like you."
"Fair."
Still, I am jealous. How did he get all of that? And look at his hair. As I examined Remen, Siri walked in. he wore a purple buttoned shirt that was buttoned up completely with slim black pants. Nothing crazy, but he slicked his hair back and parted it. A new look that really suits him.
Wait, is everyone here handsome? Am I weird for thinking so? No, I am just admiring.
"Look at you, Siri, you lady killer." Remen punched Siris's chest with a wide grin.
"None of it. I only know my sword."
"That's what you say, but they always swarm you. At this rate, you will give Yuna a heart attack."
Yuna? Did remen say Yuna? Why would that give her a heart attack?
"Please, if they get too close," Siri shifted, then…what? Did he always have that? "I will cut them down," Siri said as he held his sword out. Of course, it is in its sheath.
"What the fuck!" remen blurted, then grabbed Siri's head," the fuck is your problem? We can't go see women with that…"
Remen paused, then thought for a second.
"Actually, I think it's a good thing."
"Right, last time we almost died."
Remen nodded," Yeah, I just remembered."
They both stood in silence after reaching a mutual understanding. I had a question," Are we seeing women?"
Remen turned to me with a smile, then walked up to me, grabbing my shoulders," Yes, my young lad—" but as he spoke, his face broke, then he ran back to Siri, clenching his nose.
"OIII! Why do you reek? What were you doing?!"
"Nothing! I was just with Bella."
"Fuck, this guy," remen said, scratching his head," but we are going to the bar! You know, that part of town. Do you think we can go into that kind of place smelling like a rare lizard? Why didn't you freshen up?"
"Because I wasn't told! You just said to meet you here at 10!" I said with a frown.
Remen stared for a bit, then he made that 'oh yeah' face. Is this guy real?
"I was gonna tell you, but you know, things got very delicate. So I had to escape and give you some breathing room."
I blushed a little. He is talking about how I broke down crying, well, he is right. Now that I think about it, everyone saw that, how embarrassing.
I couldn't help but cover my face as my cheeks flushed.
"Stop blushing," Siri said bluntly," it's disgusting."
"Anyway, we are running late. You need to get changed," remen said.
I have no change of clothes other than the ones I am wearing now. So I might as well be fucked. But just maybe, I could salvage something.
Copying Bella, I did my best impression of her cute eyes, then I put my hands and legs together and twirled my right leg side to side. Looking at both of them.
"Actually, I."
Siri looked at remen, plain-faced. Remen sighed then held the bridge of his nose, trying to hide his frustration.
"Go clean up and come see me. Now."
Smiling ear to ear. I skipped, as I left for the wash.
"Okay. hahahahaha."
"Tsk, bastard."
