The Moosehead Tavern [2]

Jace

She turns away and I dress, sneaking up behind her once I'm done.

Rayah

Someone sneaks up behind me and I subcontiously take my gun from my belt and turn around, pointing it at them. I lower it when I realize it's Jace. "Please..Don't do that again," I breathe.

Jace

I chuckle, "Who else could it have been, Ray?"

Rayah

I shrug, "A creepy guy," I flash a smile. "That's happened before and it was scary," I say, hooking it back onto my belt. I fix Jace's shirt and hair out of habit.

Jace

I smile and watch her, liking how she has to fix everything about me.

Rayah

Something buzzes in my pocket and I reach in to find Jace's phone. "UH....Jace why is your phone in my pocket?"

The phone keeps buzzing and I answer it. "Hellooo?" I greet.

Jace

I frown, confused, and watch as she answers it, "Who is it?"

Rayah

I smile, looking at Jace when I speak into it. "Yeah he's here," I say, chuckling. I frown as the girl asks for Jace. "She said it's a friend from school," I say awkwardly and hand him his phone.

Jace

I send her a questioning look.

"We don't go to school anymore...."

I take the phone and bring it up to my ear.

"Hello?"

Rayah

I shrug as I hear the girl talk about...Dinner? I send him a questioning look and swallow, mouthing something.

What is she saying?

Jace

"Who is this?" I ask, confused.

Rayah

The girl hangs up and I look at him, "That was weird...If I had your phone then where's mine? Do you have it?" I ask.

Jace

I hang up, confused and out of it, and look for her phone in my pocket. Finding it, I pull it out and hand it over.

Rayah

I flash a smile and take it, slipping it in my pocket. "Thanks."

I I do my makeup in the mirror before curling my hair.

Jace

I nod and sit back on the bed, slipping my phone away.

"...I didn't go to regular school," I remember, "Nic taught me."
