Chapter 17
When we reached the restaurant, I looked at Josie.
"Why won't you tell me who else was there?" I whined.
"No need to make this night any more awkward than it already will be..." she said. "Besides, I think that you are going to find out soon enough." This response scared me.
"Madison?" I asked hopefully.
"Nope. She's coming a little bit late." She responded. We got out of the car and into the darkness of the nighttime. When we walked into the restaurant, I immediately caught sight of the boys, who were wearing shirts that complimented their muscles, each one a different color, paired with a pair of jeans.
Jessica and Kade's shirts were bright. Asmodeus's was dark blue, and hugged his muscles perfectly. I could see his back muscles and I tried my hardest not to stare. His hair was, as usual, messy yet put together, which I loved. Wait... what?
I shook my mind clear of his amazing image and repeated to myself over and over that he was an ass. Kade then saw us and gave us a big smile and wave. I waved back and everyone else turned around to see us.
"Hey guys," Jessica said when we made it to them. Asmodeus didn't even acknowledge that we were there.
Madison got there right before the person sat us down. I honestly wasn't expecting to be going to such a nice place for dinner tonight..
When we sat down, none of us knew what to say. To be honest, that had to have been the most awkward moment of silence I had ever been involved in.
"Just a heads up," Josie broke the silence. "Crystal here is extremely hungover and probably won't take any shit tonight." I shot her a glare. "See?" she gestured towards my death glare.
"How bad is it?" Jessica asked me, finding amusement in my suffering.
"On a scale of 1 to 10..." I stared. "I would say about a 67."
"Jeez, how much did you drink?" Kade asked.
"A lot I think," I responded.
"Too much," Josie answered. I decided to just get the question over with-
"Who else experienced me in my drunken state?? Scarlet isn't telling me because she said that if she told me that it would make tonight super weird, but I'd rather know," When I asked, the table went silent.
"Asmodeus went to your house to drop off your purse." Jessica told me.
Fuck.
I looked at Asmodeus, and I could feel my face growing red. He didn't show any expression.
"Did I do anything super embarrassing??" I asked him.
"Yep," he said and grinned a little bit. I put my face in my hands and grunted.
"What did I do??" I asked hesitantly. He seemed to smile even more when I asked him this. It was more of an evil smirk than a genuine smile though.
"Well for starters, you confessed that you thought I was incredibly hot," he started and I choked on air. Everyone looked shocked, including me, and then Kade broke the silence with his outrageous laughter.
"WOW you must have been really drunk to think that his ugly ass was hot," Kade said, and Asmodeus hit him. The rest of the table laughed, except for Jessica, who faked a laugh and stared down at the table... weird.
"Holy shit." I said, still taking it all in.
"And you thought that Josie was my girlfriend," he continued, and I glared at him. Josie, however, choked on her water. The table erupted in laughter again, but I buried my head in my hands again and wished to just die.
"Was that it??" I tried to hint to him to shut the hell up.
"No," he said, and the table chuckled again, thinking that he meant that I did more embarrassing shit... which I definitely did... but I read his expression perfectly- it was hinting to me that something I said was more serious than what everyone was assuming that he meant.
"But I can't say," he said, and the look his eyes gave me confirmed my beliefs that I exposed something serious to him. Holy shit. What did I say?? I hope I didn't give away anything about my past.
"Yeah, then when I was there you kinda just kept talking about how cute he was..." Josie added.
"Not helping Josie." I muttered.
I noticed that Jessica was still glowering down at the table, then looked at Asmodeus with a fire in his eyes that I had never seen in Jessica's eyes before. I was the only one who noticed, and in an instant, his eyes were back to normal.
That was weird...
The table continued to talk about things other than my little mistake today. Besides Asmodeus and I, of course. We both just started at the table. A couple of times, however, I noticed him staring at me. He looked like he was calculating something. I hope not.
Shortly after our food came, Josie'a phone rang. She was about to decline, when she was shocked my whoever was calling her.
"Hello?" She said worriedly. The table went silent. "Fuck," she said under her breath. She shot out of her seat.
"I'm so sorry that I have to go. It's an emergency. Could one of you take Crystal home?" She asked and they nodded. She looked at Madison and they exchanged a knowing look.
"We'll explain later." Madison said and just like that, they left. Leaving me with the three boys.
They just talked about sports stuff the rest of the dinner, and then when we finished and paid, we addressed the situation on the table.
"So who's taking Carla back to her house?" Kade asked.
Please not Asmodeus. Please not Asmodeus.
"I will," I Jessica say.
Yesss
"No I will, I live close to her." I heard someone say. My eyes shot up at the speaker in disbelief.
