Kool-aid?
We watched each of the passengers file off the plane. Athena and I went off last. I held out my hand to her and she took it with a grin on her face. I carried her duffle bag outside where all the limos and cabs were waiting. Egypt is beautiful. Sure it's hot enough to fry an egg on the concrete but it is pretty nice.
"You got a limo or a cab?" I asked.
She scoffed, "Pff, limo. I've got a cab! I'm not taking a limo to my hotel!"
I was wondering about this question ever since she told me about staying in a hotel the entire time she was staying here. I looked around nervously.
"A-Athena?" I asked, almost wetting my pants.
"Yeah?" She asked looking at me dead in the eyes.
"W-would you l-like to stay with me in my house... with my parents?" I asked, adding the last part for her sake. Her smile was bright enough to blind the whole world. Then she did the weirdest thing. She started jumping around and squealing. Whew, I think this is a good sign.
"Oh Angelo!" She sighed. Then she hugged me... AGAIN! Ooh this was just getting better and better. "Thank you, thank you, thank you sooooo much!" She squealed.
"Hey, no problem buddy! What are friends for?" I said patting her shoulder.
"So how are we gonna get to your parents place?" She asked, finally recovering.
"Limo," I said, not really wanting to witness her reaction. She leaned in right next to me and... kissed my CHEEK! Wow I totally take that back! I wanted to witness her reaction a billion times more! As fast as it came, it was gone. When she backed up her face was a lot redder then mine probably was. Then she mumbled something incoherent and looked outside. Suddenly I heard a very LOUD honking behind me and Athena jumped.
"What the-" She said turning around.
"Oh, looks like our ride is here." I said, smiling.
"Holy Mother of a pre mature Hamster, is something wrong with the horn!? Why was it SO LOUD!?" She said laughing.
I shrugged and took her hand. She smiled up at me then blushed. I lead her to the mini limo. Before I entered it, I saw a large shadow through the window. I told Athena to stay there and then I popped my head in the door.
"Tom!" I yelled to our chauffeur, "What the fudge is all this crap in the backseat!?"
"Sorry Angelo, Your mother was using this limo to transfer her boxes around. There's enough room for one person though."
I sighed, "But To-om! I have a friend!"
"Oh, well in that case, you two will just have to squeeze in. Sorry man." Well this just get better and better doesn't it? I sighed and plunked our duffle bags and backpacks in the trunk, which was already overflowing with boxes.
"Athena," I said running my hand through my hair, "You're gonna have to squeeze in with me." I gave her an apologetic smile and she laughed.
"It's okay Buddy, we've been stuck together for a while now haven't we?" She said. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
Athena's POV
I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to talk to him. We were like best friends but... more than that. I was squished up next to Angelo who had his arm around me. It was mostly because he wanted to give me some elbow room. I loved how it fit perfectly around my shoulders. He was just so... warm. He had already called his mother to let her know he was bringing a guest along with him. I smiled at the words he used to describe me.
'She's really sweet, mom. She's nice and funny. She's trustworthy too. She won't do anything stupid. Yeah... I do trust her.' He had said. It made me so happy, I would have screamed. But I didn't, thankfully.
"Athena?" He asked. His mouth was right next to my ear. It made me all tingly.
"Remember when you were talking to your mom on the phone earlier today?" He asked.
"Um, yeah why?" I asked, praying he wasn't gonna ask me what I thought he was gonna ask me.
"Well, you remember when you said, 'yes... times a million'?" Ooh crap cakes.
"Yeeees." I said, groaning inwardly.
"Well, what did your mom ask? Was it about me?" I felt my face turn scarlet. I hid my face in his chest and said, "Yeah, it was about you."
"What did she say?" He probed. I groaned a little and hid my face further in his chest.
"She asked... If you.... Were... cute." I said the last part really, really quietly, begging he didn't hear me. He was silent then, so I looked up at him. As soon as I my face turned to his, he leaned down; taking the centimeter that separated us, and kissed me. It was everything I would have imagined and everything more. Where his soft lips touched mine, I felt currents flow from there, to everywhere. His arms wound around me so that he was facing me and I was sitting in his lap. His hands held around my waist firmly. My arms on the other hand, were limp at his chest. Just as I was about to hold him better a voice said,
"Uhh, Angelo?" Angelo reluctantly broke our kiss, and looked at the driver.
"God Dammit, TOM! What!?" He said, annoyed.
"Uh, well your uh, stop is here." Tom stuttered.
"Oh, well, sorry. I uh, was just caught up in the moment." Angelo said running his hand through his hair. He had no idea how sexy that made him look. I would swoon at the mere sight of him. Then finally he looked at me with a smile on his beautiful face. I had a sloppy grin on my face.
He said, "I think you're beautiful." My stomach flipped over a hundred times. I could have had a heart attack. My face was already crimson from the kiss, now, I don't know what color it is. He just made me feel like the most important girl in the world. I just hugged him. Not much compared to that awesome kiss right? But Angelo didn't seem to mind, he just buried his face in my hair and kissed the top of my head. Thank god Tom didn't go nuts. This wasn't my first kiss. My first kiss was wasted on the dumbass. It was nothing compared to what I felt right now. Then Angelo smiled at me and pulled me out of the car. That's when I started hyperventilating.
"Whoa, whoa, wait!" I said pulling Angelo back to wait up with me, "I'm about to meet your parents!"
"Thank you captain obvious," Angelo laughed.
"But what if they don't like me! What if they think I'm stupid or ugly or something!? Oh no, no, no, no I can't-" Angelo stopped me by pulling me in for a bone crushing hug.
"Take a chill pill man!" He said, "They'll like you! I know they'll like you! Who wouldn't like you? Just stay calm. Be yourself." I took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I can do this. I can do this."
Angelo looked at me with a smile and led me to the massive house. The house was awesome. It looked like it was made of clay. There were moving trucks parked along the outside. Hm, I guess they just moved here. When we got to the door, I took another deep breath. You can do this Athena. You can do this. Angelo kissed the top of my head for support, but his kisses only made me feel all loopy. He opened the door and we were greeted by a cheering couple. They looked so much like Angelo, it was crazy. His mom had brown hair and kind, brown eyes. His dad had the glacier blue eyes. His gaze was piercing, but sweet. "Angelo!" His mom squealed and dove at him for a hug. He let go of my waist and staggered backward. His mom must have missed him quite a bit. So while they were having their little love fest, I was left face to face with Mr. original blue eyes.
"Um, Nice to meet you Mr. Rossi," I said politely holding out my hand. He took it smiling and said, "You must be Athena. Please call me Tony." I smiled nervously and said, "Um, you have a very beautiful home."
He laughed, "Thank you. We just moved in actually,"
"So did Angelo tell you that I'm gonna be um..." I paused and looked at Angelo helplessly. He smiled apologetically and struggled away from his mother over to me. When he reached me he put his arm around my shoulders proudly and said, "What'd I miss?"
"Athena and I were just getting acquainted and she was about to tell me something..." He looked at me with those scary eyes.
"Um... I was... um," I turned to Angelo desperately and he took over. Thank the Gods.
"Athena is staying over." He stated.
"Only if that's okay with you though. I still have the hotel to go back to." I said quickly, afraid he might get mad.
"Nonsense!" Angelo's mom said.
"I agree," Said Tony, "You will be more than welcome to stay here with us until you two have to leave."
I smiled, "Thank you so much sir," I turned to Angelo's mom with my hand outstretched. Instead of shaking my hand, she hugged me. Gosh, she is one aggressive hugger. When she let go she said, "You can call me Freda, sweetie. And please make yourself at home." I smiled and thanked them for the billionth time.
Angelo then led me to my room. We stopped in front of a wooden door and he said, "Well, this is your room and this," He pointed behind us, "Is my room." I smiled at the thought of our rooms being only a couple of feet away from each other. He seemed to read my thoughts and leaned down for another heart melting kiss. When our lips touched for the second time, sparks flew across my head. I seriously don't know how people go around not kissing ALL THE TIME. It's like a drug. When Angelo let go of me, I jumped up and kissed his nose. Yes, I was that much shorter than him. I smiled at him dreamily while he gazed back. Then we both finally realized we were still in the little hallway, and let go. Reluctantly, Angelo turned around and with a wave, disappeared into his room.
