Chapter 16: First date?! pt. 1
Helena's P.O.V.
"Helena?" I hear my mom knock on my bedroom door lightly.
"Come in." sitting up on my bed I call out. Kane had so graciously dropped me back home earlier this morning since he had to take care of some 'business'. I was happy to get away from him until he gave me the horrible news that he was picking me up for our first date later today. I seriously thought he was joking around. Lucifer goes on dates?
"How are you, hon?" my mom asks with a worried look on her face.
"Okay. Why?" I ask trying to fake how 'okay' I'm not.
She stares at me for a while before sighing and sitting down at the end of the bed. "Your father and I are really worried about you Helena. You have been very distant, Tatiana has not been around all week, neither has Ethan. Except when he picked you up for school, and you have been coming home late. Do you think we have not noticed that it is not Ethan dropping you off? Are you --?" she trails off looking uncomfortable.
"Am I what mom?"
"Are you -- cheating on Ethan?" she asks slowly and carefully.
My eyes widen at her question. If only I were with someone I actually liked.
"If you are -- which I hope you are not – but, if you are you can tell me anything mamita. I will not judge you." taking my hand in hers she squeezes it tight. God, I want to blurt out everything that has happened this past horrible week. But I cannot do it. My dad would go all macho man crazy go hunt Kane down and shoot him. Not that I mind, but still. My dad would be the one dead.
I stay quiet for a few seconds until I feel my tears roll down my face. "Ethan –I --we..." it is hard to find my words.
Taking a deep breath, I look at my mom straight in the eyes and begin my 'explanations'. "Ethan and I broke up last night that is why I spent the night at Tatiana's (lie). We were growing apart (lie) so I decided to take a break from our relationship (lie)."
"Oh! I am so sorry honey. I had no idea. I thought you guys were doing fine." she says bringing me into a hug.
"Yeah. I thought so too (until Satan came into the picture). I will be okay (lie again). We just need to figure things out." Like how not to have him be killed by Kane!
Pulling away she wipes the tears from my eyes. "Maybe a little break will do you both some good. It is your senior year and you both will be going away to college soon. You guys are still young and if it is meant to be, it will be."
If only that were true. We were meant to be. It is just that it will never be if Kane has something to do about it.
"Yeah, I guess. I just miss him that is all." I shrug and fake smile.
"You will. It will take time, and who knows. You both might realize that this time apart is a good thing and be back together by Homecoming. You will see." she smiles with hope in her eyes. My parents adore Ethan, especially her. I know she hoped we would get married after we graduated college.
"Maybe." whispering not wanting to think about the what if's.
"Can I ask you something Helena?"
Nodding my head yes, she asks. "If you are not cheating on Ethan and you guys broke up? Then who is the guy covered in tattoos from head to toe? Is he your rebound guy?"
My eyes almost pop out of my eyes. How the HELL am I going to explain Lucifer to her?
My parents left a few hours ago out of town to some work trip my father had to go to. My mom sometimes accompanies him except this time she wanted to stay home to have a mom/daughter weekend. I convinced her otherwise. Not that I do not want to spend time with her. It is just that Kane is going to be picking me up in about an hour to torment me and I do not want my parents to meet him. I will try my best to keep them from meeting each other.
Currently in my room I hear a notification from the cell that Kane demanded I have indicating there is a text. Picking it up I open the message.
From Kane Your ONE and ONLY: Hey Princess, miss me already? Be ready in an hour. Will be picking you up and you better be ready. Oh, make sure you wear something sexy. I want to show you off to everyone who is around. Can't wait to see you and maybe taste you later if you behave.
Grunting at the last part I toss the cell on my bed. "Why does he torment me so much?" I scream out of frustration. I hate him.
Sighing, I decide to go to my closet to see what 'sexy' outfit I am going to wear for him. I was just going to wear something casual since I have no idea what he has planned. Guess now I have to put effort in my outfit. Ugh! I really do not want to go out, especially with him. Once people see us it will make it official between Kane and I. Though it will never be that way in my eyes.
Finally picking out an appropriate outfit I start to get dressed. Having already taken a shower earlier it will not take too long.
Twenty minutes later I glance at myself in the full-length mirror at what I chose to wear for this so called 'first date'. I seriously do not care about it or care what Kane thinks of it.
