Chereads / Mystery Behind The Shadow / Chapter 21 - First Date

Chapter 21 - First Date

L: Isn't it a problem to explain to me what all happened? I can't sit here and keep quiet and watch some people suffer.

Leila came a little closer to Chester and put her hand on his leg. Chester sighed and looked at her.

C: I don't know where to start it's a pretty long story.

L: We have plenty of time, I'm here to help you

C: I only grew up with my father, I don't know anything about my mother, they said she died when I was born. I spent more time with his best friend he raised me and took care of me like his son. I rarely saw my father, from the age of 14 I started taking care of myself. I don't know if he loved me at all, I once saw him worry about me when that incident happened that I lost my eye. But whether he really cared or just pretended I don't know.

L: Is that why you're here?

C: No, a few days ago my father came home injured, told me to run away and hide. Not long after that 3 masked people broke into our house and killed him, two of them I managed to kill but the third shot me in the back twice, I got another stab wound and a big cut on my chest from the claws. I tried to confront him but he was much bigger and stronger than me. I was on the verge of life and death, luckily the cops arrived on time or I would be dead. I ended up in the hospital 3 days after that Max came and made me come here even though I didn't want to. I don't have anyone anymore.

L: Oh my God, I'm so sorry to hear all this.

Leila turned and hugged him and he hugged her.

C: I'll be fine, you don't have to worry, I just want to forget everything and continue my new life.

L: Maybe your father still loved you but didn't show it.

C: I don't believe it. I would ask you not to tell anyone about this.

L: No worries this just stays between us.

Chester stood up, and looked around.

C: Are you for a little walk with me?

L: Yes.

They went to walk and talk about various things, time passed quickly they did not even notice that dusk had fallen.

L: Oh wow, I didn't even notice it is dusk.

C: Time flies, passes quickly.

L: Yes that is true. What are we going to do now?

It was quiet for a while they stood and looked at each other. Chester came over and took her by the hand, they were very close to each other, they looked into each other's eyes. Their lips touched and started kissing. After a while Chester stopped and took a step back and looked at her.

C: I'm sorry I think I hurried too much ...

L: No No, it's okay.

Leila smiled and approached him, hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

C: Do you want to have a drink with me?

L: Yes, but I don't want to go dressed like this, it's Friday, everyone dresses nicely and elegantly. Let's meet at 9pm in front of the bar.

C: Agreed

They got up together and kissed once more and each went in his own direction. Chester came into his room, his roommates were already there, everyone was dressed only in their underpants, and they were getting ready for a night out. Chester walked past them and continued to his bed they turned and watched him. He went to his closet next to the bed and took out a black set of suits, only the shirt was white color and put it on his bed.

1?: Is it our wolfy going out at night?

Chester turned and looked at them they were all together close to him. He sighed and turned and kept looking for something in his closet.

2?: You don't hear the leader ask us something!

Chester closed the closet door so hard it cracked a little, so he looked at it them again.

C: Is this clown your leader?

1?: What did you say ?!

Chester took his things from the bed and headed for the exit. When he was between them he stopped and turned to the oldest of them.

C: I'm not in the mood for any quarrel or fight, the last time I almost bit your face. So you'd better leave me and watch your business you know nothing about me.

He turned and pushed one of them, which blocked his way to the exit.

1 ?: We know a lot about you and your father

Chester paused for a moment and looked at them from the corner of his right eye and stepped outside. It was already evening Chester was standing by the bar and waiting, a lot of people were already inside and outside. He noticed Henry coming with 5 more of them already quite drunk and they were singing, he turned around not to be noticed. They passed him, he watched them, he felt some hands around his body, he turned around and saw Leila behind him. She was dressed in one pretty long red dress, Chester was stiff with beauty for a moment.

C: Oh wow you look so beautiful

Leila smiled and kissed him on the cheek

L: Thanks, you look nice too.

Chester held out his hand to her and looked at her

C: I know we just met and it was all so fast, Would you give me your hand and let me take you inside on our first date.

L: Yes

She held out her hand and Chester took it and walked with her holding hands at the bar. As they walked inside many of them watched them in wonder.
