~Caroline and Niran :D~
Dante sat on the bed with Renee as the DVD still played advertisements. His shoulder touched Renees and he was very close to her."Hey, are you okay? About Shane?", Dante asked softly.
Layla dragged Nathan out from the library and kept dragging him until she found a little restaurant on the same street. She then let go of his hand and said," Sit". He needed someone strong right now, not someone soft.
Renee felt their shoulders touched and smiled sheepishly."Yeah. I'm fine." Her voice was strong but quiet. She glanced over at him and her eyes locked on his, for just a split second.. He laughed gently at her boldness. He appreciated that she understood. Nathan sat slowly with a deep sigh.
Dante stared back at her when she stared at him briefly. Then he turned away and said," The- the movies starting". He smiled slightly at the moment they had just had and then watched as the movie began.Layla smiled softly and sat next to him. She looked at him and said,"We should get something to eat before we start discussing what's wrong with you". A waiter came and introduced herself, her name was Kaylie. She asked what they wanted.
"Lasagna please, with some water", Layla said.
She smiled slightly. Renee turned her attention toward the screen and leaned on his shoulder slightly. He nodded at her comment and then addressed to the waitress,"A Reuben sandwich please and water as well." Nathan smiled weakly and then looked away.
Dante looked down at Renee placing her head on his shoulder, he smiled. Because he liked it. He felt comforted and very much as ease. The movie went on and Dante had grinned and laughed many times.Layla smiled at the waitress as she took the menus and went away with their orders. She turned to look at Nathan, although he was looking away. She sighed and demanded," What happened?".
She smiled. Why did she pleasure this so much? As Renee watched the movie, she hid her eyes many times, but did laugh. She loved horror/comedy movies. And she loved scared reactions of people. Nathan sighed gently and looked up at the ceiling before looking back down."My fiancée, she ch-cheated." He said in a soft, mad and hurt tone. He only said that, as if it was painful to move on talking.
Dante watched the movie and smiled slightly as he heard Renees laughed and giggles. But he kept quite and eventually went into a slouching potion on the bed. The DVD played and Dante watched with interest and occasionally glanced at Renee.Layla looked him with shock, her eyes slightly wide. Then she clenched her jaw and said," Im sorry, Nathan", she said it soft and gentle.
She didnt think that something like this would happen, when he last spoke about her he made it seem like they were so desperately in love.
She glanced up at him a few times, but made herself stare at the screen. She had to force herself not to stare at him. Renee smiled softly, she loved these friend moments. He nodded softly, and twisted his lips a bit. "Yeah, well... The marriage is off." Nathan said softly, a hurt expression written on him.
((I will have short replies sorry...))
Dante could see from the corner of his eye that Renee would glance or stare at him for a whole, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He clapped jokingly as the film ended.Layla couldn't help but feel sympathy towards Nathan. She didnt know what to do though, tell him it was okay? Tell him not to bother getting caught up with the stupid girl?
She just grabbed his hand from the table and concealed it with both of hers.
She followed along and clapped happily. Renee laughed softly.He smiled again weakly and took in a deep breath
Dante watched her laugh and clap and he felt happy. Just seeing her happy was good for him. "Screw it", he muttered under his breath."Renee", he said.
Layla smiled at him softly and asked hesitantly," Did you find out who it was she was cheating with?". She didnt mean to be harsh or abrupt maybe it came out that way.
"Yes?" She asked, looking up at him with an innocent smile. He coughed."My boss.. Im out of work now." Nathan said his eyes dropping to the floor.
Dante turned away from here, his hands in his pockets and his heart pounding like it would burst out of his chest. "I love you"." I always have, the first day we met I knew you would be more than just a friend", Dante said softly.
Layla's lips parted and her eyes widened slightly, she brushed her hand across her face and then said," Wow, so they're both ass holes".
Her mouth twisted a bit before it landed in a subtle smile."I love you too." She said simply, looking into his eyes with a hidden excitement. Renee bit her lip and smiled wider.Nathan allowed himself to let out a breathy laugh."Its been hard. But ill find my way... I should've never introduced them." He shook his head.
Dante's eyes widened and his breathe caught in his throat. Did she really just say that? Did she really just say she loved him too. "When I say I love you, I mean not in a friend way. I mean more, Renee". Layla shook her head and her eyebrows came together slightly," Hey, don't blame yourself for what THEY did, understand?". It was their fault, not his.
She nodded her head slowly with an obvious smile. Renee was known to be bold in times she was passionate things."Yes, I know that." She shrugged softly. He looked away and took in a sharp breath."It just makes me wonder what I did wrong." Nathan shook his head and put his head in his hands after.
Dante couldn't help but smile. "Renee, how long did you know? And how long have you felt the same way?", Dante asked curiously. How could they not have known that they bother loved each other?Layla shook her head and grabbed his hand, placing it in both of hers. "No", she said as she shook her head," Its not your fault at all, don't let anyone, even her, make you think that".
She shrugged and had a childish smile on her face."Probably a few months.. No I'm kidding." Renee joked."Like forever." She admitted after pausing for a moment. A little but of a rosey red appeared on her cheeks. He sighed."It's just... I guess people like to find a blame for things when things happen badly," Nathan shrugged half-heartedly
Dante tried to keep a smile on his face but instead he ended up laughing at her little joke. He looked down with a blush in his cheeks and a smile in his face. He couldn't believe they had liked each other and they didnt even know."How could we not have known?", he asked.
Layla sighed and leaned back in her chair, eventually the waitress came back with their orders and gave them to them. Layla smiled and looked down at her lasagna. She looked back at Nathan and said," I know I'm talking crap when I say that everything will be okay, but I mean it when I say it isn't your fault".
Renee shrugged softly."But we know now right?" Her voice was getting softer and her blush was fading. Renee turned toward him to make eye contact a bit easier. She smiled softly. He nodded softly and looked at his meal. He didn't really feel hungry anymore."I do appreciate this." Nathan sipped some water then rubbed his forehead
Dante's hands in his pockets were started to get sweaty and he started to become hot. He nodded and looked at her softly. He didnt know of he should make the move or not. He just slowly sat by her side and smiled at her,"Yeah, now we know". And he was glad.Layla ate her lasagna slowly, and then watched as Nathan drank his water but didnt touch his food. Layla sighed and looked at him softly," Hey, Nathan", she looked down and then continued," You know it's her lose, not yours".
She had this deep burning in her chest the nursed its way to her throat and up to her face. Renee so wanted to kiss him, for the first time, but she was frozen. An aching erupted in her stomach and she clenched up a bit. Was this what real love was like? He looked up into her eyes, seeing how sincere she was."Thank you." Nathan struggled a smile. It was hard for him to believe anything now. He managed to a eat a few fries slowly, but wasn't hungry still.
Dante looked at how she blushed an incredible red. He turned so that he was facing her. He looked down and then looked at her softly. A line of hair was in front of her face, he leaned forward and put the hair behind her ear slowly.Layla gulped slightly and then looked away as she nodded with a smile. She had eaten most of the lasagna, but she could see Nathan had barely touched his food. She got up and placed her hands on her hips," Okay, you know what? Lets go out, lets do something to get your mind off of this".
She shivered slightly and stayed still, not dating to move. Renee swallowed softly, and gazed into his eyes with a burning passion. He stood and gave her a funny look."Alright fine, fine." Nathan signed the bill check quickly before she could object.
Dante kept his hand by her face, he was just starring deep into her eyes. He didnt know if he should leave forward or not. But he took that chance anyway. He slowly started to lean forward. --
"You-". Layla just took the bill and ripped it up,"you don't have to pay". Layla saw the waiter looking at them and Layla nodded to her. They knew Layla, the whole restaurant did. She grabbed Nathan's hand and dragged him along.
An excitement fluttered in her stomach and Renee began to Lean forward slowly, until she felt her lips graze the top of his. She put her hands gently on his chest, and made a motion to kiss him. He raised his eyebrows then shrugged."Alright." Nathan then struggled to follow her out of the door.
Dantes heart started to beat even faster as she came closed, placed her hand on his chest and then slowly kissed him. He leaned even more forward but gently kissed her, moving his lips against hers. This was possibly the best feeling, to know she felt the same and that right now all they had to think about was the kiss. Layla didnt wait for Nathan to say anything when she dragged him out of the restaurant. She looped her arm through his as they walked down the street to find something good, something exciting. "Gah! It's like this street was made for old people!", she exclaimed.
She gripped his shirt a bit before loosening her grip. Renee closed her eyes and kissed him back with passion. She was trying to keep her thoughts from fluttering about Dante, and only on the kiss. He smiled a bit, glancing at her. "Old people huh? I thought we were considered old?" Nathan loosened up a bit, and laughed softly.
By Renee gripping his shirt he thought that that was a good sign. So he continued to kiss her like their lives depended on it. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer towards him, wanting more. Layla raised her eyebrows at him and smirked," My friend, we are young! And you know what that means?! We are frigging able to do as we please and no one can stop us!" . Layla bowed once she finished her little speech.
Renee moaned slightly, and her breath hitched in her throat. She titled her head back a bit, and kissed him with all she had. She pressed herself closer to him. He laughed softly and clapped."Bravo!" Nathan shook his head."Fine fine... Well then, we'll go..." Nathan thought for a moment.
Dante held the back of her head with his hand, pressing her closer. When she moaned slightly he completely lost control. He placed his other hand on her thigh and pushed her up onto his lap. Layla smiled and then raised her eyebrows," Where to, Mr Nathan?". She shook her head at herself for sounding so stupid. She grinned at him and said," Shall we go to a bar? Get drunk and talk about cliche things". She placed her hands on her hips and laughed slightly.
She swiveled her hips a bit, and placed her hands tenderly on his neck. Renee placed a soft kiss on his neck and trailed her way back to his lips. He laughed,"Even though I have yesterday, sounds fun." Nathan shrugged and grinned.
As Renee placed a kiss on his neck, Dante leaned his head back with his eyes closed. He couldnt contain his happiness or his excitement. Once her lips were back with his he kissed her back tenderly and wrapped one arm around her waist and the other just below her chest.Layla smiled and grabbed his hand," Lets do then!". She stuck out her hand just as she saw a taxi. It stopped and she got in," Where to,lady?", asked the driver. Layla grinned at the driver and said," Take us to the best night club in town".
Renee breathed in deeply, realizing she was getting ahead of herself. She pressed her hands to his chest, and moved into a hug position."Can't go too far.." She muttered sadly. Nathan hopped in, shutting door too in one movement. He grinned and settled back.
Dante kept his eyes closed and leaned his head against hers, he sighed and said," Right. I'm sorry". He opened his eyes and then smiled at her softly. He was completely content, happy, ecstatic! Dante leaned his lips to her forehead and kissed it. "You got it, miss", the taxi driver said. Layla grinned and said," Thanks". Then she looked back at Nathan and smirked, she moved her fingers together evilly and said," This is going to be fun".
She nodded and lightly closed her eyes. Renee stayed frozen there, all of her thoughts jumbled. She couldn't quite figure out how happy she was, so a small smile appeared.Nathan smirked and nodded. He leaned back into his chair and sighed softly, still smiling.
Dante looked up shyly to see Renee smile, he grinned and asked softly," What are you smiling at?". He loved the sight of her smiling, it made him happy to see that and it drove him crazy. He wanted her, needed her. Layla nodded and smiled, this was going to be fun. It was about 3pm, but that didnt matter, she would get drunk to see Nathan happy if that's what it took. The driver stopped and Layla payed him. She got out of the car to see a rocking bar. "Wow, this looks pretty cool", she said, looking up at the building with her hands on her hips.
She kissed his lips gently, and pulled away, keeping her face very close to his."The moment." She whispered, her eyes landing on his. Her gaze was intent, and loving. Her body burned with passion.He nodded, quickly stepping out by her. Nathan gave her a look for paying, but decided to drop it. He nudged her arm."Are we going to stand here all day?" He asked amused. "Or are we going to get drunk and be dirty little people?"
Dante couldn't believe this was actually happening, he felt like all of this must be a dream and that when he woke up he would be very disappointed. He smiled and said contently," The moment, huh? I loved it too. I'm still shocked that it actually happened". He kissed her forehead and then sighed. Layla looked at him with a mischievous look on her face, she rubbed her hands together like she had a master plan and then said passionately," We're going to get drunk and be dirty little people!". She grabbed his hand and then dragged him into the bar.
She smiled, her eyes filled with a happy tranquil. Renee closed her eyes when his lips touched her forehead. She gazed up in his eyes again."I hope this isn't a dream." She said, and laughed breathily.Nathan laughed and ran a hand thriugh his hair as he struggled to follow her.
Dantes eyes widened as his face and lips were near her head. A dream? That's what he was thinking. He shook his head slightly and then closed his eyes, he moved so that he had his fingers softly on Renee's jaw. "It's not a dream", he said softly,"It's real. All of it. Every emotion, every touch and everything you and I feel".
Layla couldn't believe she had never seen r heard of this bar. It was suave and very appealing. It had a theme of red, black, grey and white. Chairs, sofa's, tables, snooker tables, bars. They were all amazing !
Layla looked aside to her and asked Nathan," Have you ever seen anything likes this!?". She laughed and immediately wanted a drink.
She closed her eyes softly, then looked at him with a dreamy gaze."It can't. I mean yes.' Renee pressed her head to his chest, listening to his heart beat rapidly.He laughed and grinned at the sight of it."Never!" Nathan was getting thirsty fast.
Dante held her close to him, grateful that the truth was out and they didnt have to hide from each others feelings. He kissed her head softly and slowly. He smiled and said," Maybe it's fate". Although he said it he was more talking to himself. Layla looked over at Nathan to see he was more shocked than she was. She laughed and then walked towards the actual bar.
"Four tequila shots, please", Layla asked the bar tender. He just nodded and got the drinks ready.
She smiled again, turning to sit more in his lap. Renee placed a soft kiss on his lips before pulling away, and staying in her position. A light smile was on her face, and her eyes twinkled with happiness. He sat by her, watching as the bar slowly filled up with people. He grinned and waited a bit for the drinks, and set the money out for them."My treat."
Dante wrapped his arms around her and felt butterflies in his stomach as she kissed him quickly. She made him feel amazing, like nothing in the world could stop his happiness. He was happy. He kissed her forehead and asked," You know when they say that boys and girls who are best friends always end up liking each other and how cliche it is. We just proved it right", Dante laughed slightly. Layla looked at Nathan with her eyebrows raised," No! Your the one going through heartbreak. My job is to be the healer. So-", she pushed his money back in his direction," You keep it". She honestly did mind paying for anything, she got enough money anyway.
She giggled and nodded, placing her hands on his chest."Yeah I guess your right." Her smile meant something, it showed she really had loved him, and there was no way tearing her away. He nodded, trying to forget the while heartbreak part. Nathan shoved the money in his pocket, and poured a shot in his mouth with a smirk.
Dante smiled down at her as he looked at her smile, loving the smile that she gave back to him. He could tell that what they really felt for each other was hidden for a while. Suddenly someone knocked on the door and said," Hey! I've got more cookies!".
"Wait, Mom!", Dante said, he looked over at Renee and rolled his eyes playfully. He got up slowly and then opened the door to a smiling mother.
Layla raised her eyebrows at him downing the shot like their was no tomorrow, and the fact that he didnt even grimace or make a face when the shot was done. Layla shrugged and downed her drink too, putting her head back ad closing her eyes.
She giggled and fixed her hair so that it rested on her right shoulder. Renee also quickly straightened the covers, so that it looked like nothing had happened. She smiled to herself, her insides beaming, and her outsides. He coughed a bit, the burning now coming on. Nathan shrugged, hoping that this would maybe release somewhat of his pain.
Nate was stiff and still. He wasn't sure what to but follow her.
