dirty trick

Luciana got home really late today. "Richard I'm back" she said as she entered their apartment but didn't get a reply.

"Richard, Richard, Richard." she called repeatedly getting a little scared. she went to his room but he wasn't there, she checked his bathroom and he wasn't there also.

she checked the kitchen not there, opened the door to her room to drop her bag. she then found him on her bed. she sighed in relief and woke him for dinner because she didn't cook before going to work. after dinner, she blew him a midnight kiss while he gave her a dirty look in return.

Luciana entered her room and lay on her bed, she dozed off immediately but instead of a sweet dream, she had a nightmare, the one that had been haunting her for the past five years. 'who was the little boy I saw? he looks a little bit older than me, why was he at the crime scene? why was he crying? why does it look like he knows the mastermind?, why does it also seem like he was indirectly trying to protect us?' he tried connecting the dots in her head but ended up having a headache.

'then I'd have to start from him, but I don't know who he is neither do I know where to find him.' she thought and banged her head slightly on the wall repeatedly.

she groaned and said "I'm really useless."

.....

"I wish I can skip school today I hate sports" Baby said in his sports wear.

"lazy ass." Romeo replied.

"I wasn't talking to you." Baby said and faced Ryan.

"neither was I." Romeo replied and faced the other side.

Baby gave a cold snort.

"can you guys stop your childish behavior and let me have a peace of mind? just once." Raymond said massaging his temples

"Romeo caused it. I wasn't talking to him he just decided to be mean for no reason."Baby said.

"but I wasn't talking to you." Romeo replied.

"if you weren't talking to me, the who were you talking to, Raymond? Ryan? or you just decided to behave mad?" baby said finding no sense in Romeo's statement.

Raymond sighed and left them, ' they'd surely be the end of me' he said in his mind.

.....

taekwondo class.

Romeo was paired with Ryan while Baby was paired with Raymond for their practice.

"Ray can we switch partners?" Romeo asked not wanting to even touch this Ryan of a guy.

"yeah we can" Baby replied.

Romeo, "Ryan you can now pair with your best friend."

"I'm actually pairing with you" Baby replied.

"you? then don't regret it" Romeo said staring at him with a raised brow.

"that should be my line" Baby replied.

'it is time to eliminate my plan hehe Romeo you can't escape this time.' Baby thought and laughed mentally. he stood in front of Romeo, they bowed to each other and he gave him a front kick.

Romeo stood there and started staring at him like he was staring at a fool.

"nice try Baby but did you think you can defeat me with this weak kick of yours"he said annoyingly.

Ryan sighed, 'if he wants to, he can.'

That actually gave a huge blow to Baby's morale. He scoffed and moved very close to him. very close as in they were only about five centimeters apart. Baby then stood on his toes and whispered in his ear, " I dare you to say that again. do you dare?" in a very soft and sultry voice.

Romeo froze for a moment, but that was enough for baby. he used that opportunity to smack him down.

'K.O, mission accomplished.' Baby looked at Romeo and saw that he has a confused expression on his face.

He laughed mentally at his own dirty trick.

Raymond looked at baby and said "dirty trick, little Dana you're still as scheming as you were, I just hope Romeo doesn't find out about all you've done."

he then looked at Ryan who was looking at baby with admiration. he shook his head and gave him a dirty look.

Ryan, "were you talking to me?"

Raymond shook his head, kicked him and walked out.

Ryan sat on the floor in a daze, "hey wait I wasn't even ready."

Baby just smiled, "even if you shout till tomorrow, he won't turn back."

"Dana you were so cool back there" Ryan said

"I've always told you to call me Baby" Baby replied.

"but Dana is more cute." Ryan said and walked out with Baby.

"after everything you've done, don't tell tell me Romeo doesn't like you a little bit?" Ryan asked

"not even a little bit." Baby replied with a slight pout on his lips.

"how about you confess your feelings to him" Ryan suggested.

"Romeo is straight and I don't want to lose a friend" Baby replied.

"you won't know if you don't try" Ryan said.

"if it is that simple why haven't you asked your crush out" Baby said

"ouch! Dana that hit me really bad but don't worry I'd ask her out for Halloween" Ryan said raising his shoulder slightly.

"awwwn I'm so proud of you" Baby said sarcastically.

"Raymond knows about your feelings for Romeo right?" Ryan asked

"maybe, maybe not" Baby replied

"I won't blame him if he doesn't after all you hid it pretty well" Ryan said

Baby smiled and looked at Romeo flirting with some girls again. "I actually didn't hide anything, he's just so freaking dumb."

"sometimes I just feel it's not love but an obsession"Ryan said.

"you won't understand." baby said and walked away.

Ryan shook his head and said "he'd been loving him for more than ten years did he not get bored?" well let's just see how things go he thought and went in a different direction.
