Chapter 195

“Oh Em Gee! Seriously? You and Bent? In this club?” Erin’s eyes had doubled in size. “Did you and he…you know…play doctor?” She didn’t wait for an answer. She started to laugh hysterically. “Oh, um excuse me, Dr. Gorgeous. This hurts right here. Yeah. See this lipstick smudge on my tender tummy? Yeah, can you like, grab, my shirt like, and do a quick check with your very long stethoscope?” Erin dropped down with her hands on her knees and started to crack up.Sarah had to pull her friend back up by her red cape. “Would you stop!” she giggled. “Someone might hear you!” Erin stuck out her tongue. “Who else can hear me say that you and Bent hooked up in this INCREDIBLY loud club?” She put her hands on her hips. Sarah groaned. “We didn’t hook up. We just played…a little.” Erin made a face. “So that’s what they’re calling it now?” She slapped Sarah on the shoulder. “Good evening, ladies,” a deep seductive voice whispered. Startled, both girls spun around at the same time.Erin let out an involuntary gasp of astonishment. Sarah felt her jaw hit the floor. The mysterious figure before them was very tall. And very broad. Rich golden ringlets framed a chiseled face that was, to Sarah’s intense surprise, unbelievably handsome.The mysterious boy wore a blood red devil costume. Dark black horns jutted out from a headpiece on his head. The horns were a stark contrast to his lustrous golden ringlets of hair.He took Erin’s hand and kissed it, causing Erin to giggle in a hiccupping, silly frenzy.He then lifted Sarah’s wrist, uninvited, and pressed the back of her hand ever so gently to his very delicious lips. “Nice tattoos. What’s your name?”Sarah fought the blush that burned up and down her throat. One tiny little kiss on her hand and already her body was losing control!!! What was the matter with her?Sarah shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. When she focused back on the mysterious boy, she saw his eyes were a deep icy blue. They were devil’s eyes, just like his costume. The kind that threaten to swallow you up if you were to stare too long into them. “Your name?” the boy repeated. His ice-colored eyes took on a playful, yet sinister look.”Um…um…” Sarah couldn’t make her voice work properly.”It’s Sarah,” Erin cut in. “Her name is Sarah.” The boy grinned at Erin. “Is that so?” he said. “You didn’t ask me my name?” Erin said. She batted her eyelashes. It seemed she’d forgotten about Trevor completely. In a way, Sarah really couldn’t blame her. This boy was hauntingly beautiful.”I already know you, Red Riding Hood,” he said. Erin laughed. “Very funny.” “I overheard you girls talking,” the handsome boy said simply.Sarah arched an eyebrow. “What did you hear?” “Enough,” he replied with a devilish smirk.Sarah noticed his teeth were sparkling white against his very red lips.”So…you and Ben are a thing?” the mysterious boy asked.”Kind of,” Sarah said.The devil snickered. “Yeah, I don’t think so.” “Do you know Bent?” Erin asked. She crossed her arms. The devil nodded. “Sure. Ben and I go way, way back.” “We didn’t catch your name,” Sarah said. She sensed something was unsettling about this boy, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. “Call me…” He looked directly at Sarah. “Halo.”
