I rushed down out of the apartment, and down the hall to the
apartment that Regina had moved into. I
banged on the door hard enough that my fists hurt.
“Regina?” I hit harder. “Regina, open up! I need to ask you
something!”
The door opened, and a young man poked his head out. He was pale, with shiny black hair that was
short in the back, but long in the front, his bangs hanging over his striking
silver eyes.
“What do you want?” His voice was low, slow and not too
happy to see me.
“I… I need to speak to Regina!” I was suddenly having a hard
time catching my breath.
“You’re that angel she keeps going on about, aren’t you?” He
smirked. “Missy, right?”
“Yes, listen, I really…” I tried to push past him, to see
into the apartment.
“Name is Dante. I’m
Regina’s brother.” He took my hand, giving it a healthy shake. “Anyone who
gives my sister a hard time is someone I like. So, let me help you out
Missy. Regina isn’t here. She’s out stalking that Gus guy. Apparently he’s going on a second date with
one of her picks. She wants to see how it goes.”
Shit! How long had I
been asleep? I looked down at my watch,
and saw that it was almost seven. At
least I knew where the date was. I could
probably get there in time to stop Regina from doing whatever she had planned.
“Thank you!” I don’t
know why, but I jumped up and hugged Dante.
“You’re welcome.” He watched me as I ran away. “As repayment, maybe you could introduce me
to that Nando guy? He’s kind of my type.”
“Sure!” I waved at him as I darted down the stairs, and out
of the building.
