CHAPTER NINE!(:
~*~*~*~*~
“I’ve heard that name before” Scarlet said, her shoulders hunching forward just a little bit in thought. “Yes, of course you have” Anastasia smiled at her. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “You said it yesterday” John put a protective hand on her shoulder. “I don’t remember that…?” she shook her head. “You were asleep last night,” he rubbed over her shoulder blade. “And you said it” “So you’ve been dreaming about me, huh?” Oliver raised a brow and gave a ghastly trick-like smile. “No, I haven’t been dreaming about you” Scarlet protested, putting her arms over her chest. “Oliver, be nice” Anastasia muttered, looking over at Scarlet and giving her an apologetic look. “So are you guys together?” John asked. “No, why?” Anastasia smiled at John. “I was just curious” he shrugged. “She’s pretty, huh?” Oliver asked, ringing his arm tighter over Anastasia’s shoulder. “Well yeah,” John shrugged again. “I guess” “You guess?” Anastasia’s arms crossed over her chest. 'He’s just saying that so I won’t think he likes her…’ Scarlet thought, rolling her eyes. “He probably is” Anastasia smiled, looking directly at Scarlet. “Excuse me?” Scarlet raised an eyebrow. “You’re weird” Anastasia stated. “Um, should that offend me? Or were you trying to—?” “No, no, never mind,” Anastasia interrupted. “But I can’t hear you” “I’m talking to you right now—” “I can hear you when you talk, I can’t hear you when you think” she explained. | “What do you mean when I think?” Scarlet raised an eyebrow.
“Never mind” Anastasia laughed. “What’s going on?” Scarlet looked up at John, who was exchanging a quick glance with Oliver. “It’s nothing” John and Oliver said simultaneously. “Well, we should hit the road. C’mon Oliver” Anastasia waved good bye to them and pulled Oliver over towards the door; laughing and giggling the whole way. “Johnny—” Scarlet started. “It’s nothing, I swear” John stated, his eyebrows squished together atop his forehead; just the way they always did when he was lying to her. “John, you came to hang out with Zach…so go” Scarlet smiled up at him, and gave him a small smile. “Scarlet—” he started. “I have a test tomorrow that I have to study for, anyway. I’ll meet you back home, okay? I’m sure Samantha can watch me if you really wanted her to” she protested. “Alright” John sighed. “I’ll probably be asleep by the time you get home, so, good night” she hugged him. “Night Annie” he kissed the spot just below her hair line on her forehead. She walked through the midnight streets of New York, a little less crowded at night, hands locked together. She glanced around at the flashing restraint sign’s waiting for some of them to turn off. “Hey” Oliver came striding out from one of the shadows. She jumped. “Lord!” she half-shouted. “Thanks, but, I’m not the Lord” he gave a slight wink. “You scared me” she glared at him. “I would say I didn’t mean it, but I did” he shrugged. “Why on earth are you hiding out in the shadows at night, anyway?” Scarlet gave him a motherly look, as she felt the need to hit him. “Over here” Oliver pulled her into an alley near-by. |
