"Did you wait for too long?" Naomi grinned as she entered the house.
Mia was sitting on the couch, watching the news. Another murdér was showcasing.
Naomi walked deeper into the room, before tapping Mia on her shoulder and she turned to her.
" oh... you're here already you won't believe it but... there's been another murdér... "
" well,,,I believe it my aunt has the video, she said it was Steven Brown, the drûg dealer. I'm glad the silent killer murdéred his a$$ "
Mia chuckled. She got off the couch and turned off the TV before stepping into her sneakers.
" me too. But then, why are you calling him "silent killer"? "
" cause no one knows who he is. He's like a Mastermind killer so amazing "
" totally...and I hope your Aunt never catches him. He's like a good guy in all this "
" Right?...but that weird detective is so obsessed. Aunt told us they had to catch him before everything is messed up. She's really stressed. "
" she should stress more, they're never gonna find him "
They both smiled before leaving the house. It was already 13h00 when they got to Lonan's doorstep. Although Mia tried to be cool, she just couldn't ignore the hairs that stood in her body...she could feel her nerves coming back again.
Soon, the door creeked open and Lonan's figure appeared. Mia was the first to notice his ungloved hands.
They were white like his face too each finger on the left hand had rings while the right one had tatted german words, she couldn't read. His nails were a bit long for a boy's and were painted black.
" hey,...mind if we come in "
Instead of replying, he moved aside and Naomi got in. When she saw Mia was lost and not making any move, she held her arm and dragged her inside. Lonan closed the door and followed them to the living room
" you told us to drop by anytime " Naomi said when Lonan entered the living room too.
He nodded. Mia huffed inwardly. She thought is was a deàd room rather than that. Glancing at Lonan's hand. She was shocked to see them gloved again.
"When did he do that?" Mia muttered within herself. Her gaze met with his and it could've lasted long if Mia didn't break it.
She suddenly remembered Pearl and her blood boiled but she calmed herself down Naomi stared at both of them before clearing her throat.
" hey, we're going for a movie. Wanna come? " She pinched Mia's arm as she said that. Mia scoffed in return.
____________________
Mia groaned under her breath as they settled down at the cinema. They were the only people there. She didn't know why and she mostly didn't know which movie Lonan picked.
She thought he was gonna reject the offer but he was a freak enough to say 'yes'. Mia groaned loudly and both Naomi and Lonan turned to her. she cleared her throat and faced the still blank screen.
" are you alright "
" obviously... " She muttered but Naomi heard her. She chuckled and stood up.
" I'll go get our popcorns. BRB " She winked and left. Mia scoffed.
She was sitting close to Lonan and it was awkward for her. She shifted on the seat Naomi recently abounded and Lonan looked at her. He also moved from the seat he was on and sat on Mia's. Mia was about to move again when he held her back.
" stay still. " He uttered without looking at her. Mia rolled her eyes and freed her hand from his hold. She sat still, like he said.
Naomi returned with two large bowls of popcorn. She looked at the way they were sitting before smiling, she stretched the other bowl toward Lonan and Mia.
" sorry. These were the last ones. You're gonna have to share cause I like my own popcorn. " She grinned. Mia knew she was lying.
She couldn't believe Naomi dragged her to the movies and was going to make her share popcorn with that weirdo.
" I'm alright. You can have them. "
" I don't eat popcorn, so you can have them "
" I think I said I'm alright. "
" which is a lie. "
" and how would you know, you're not on my mind right?! "
Lonan didn't reply. He just stared at her. He could sense she was angry about something.Naomi scoffed and dropped the bowl in their middle before sitting beside Mia.
" you both. Eat those popcorn. You should've told me sooner instead of making me drain my last bill "
Mia rolled her eyes and took a handful of popcorn and shoved it into her mouth. The movie started and they all focused their eyes on the huge screen.
Mia's chewing was louder than a frost shattering. Naomi glared at her and she stopped.
" is this a horror movie "
" yes...almost. "
" great choice Lonan I love horror movies. "
Mia looked at her. Naomi winked. If there was anyone who was terrified of horror movies, she'd be the first. She wondered how she loved them because she couldn't stand to watch someone being kîlled in front of 'her own eyes'.
