Kyle's POV
I received Cat's invitation to go to this pizza parlor place that she works on. Since none of the guys were available due to their own date nights, I decided to give it a try. I haven't tried Italian cuisine anyway so this would be a first for me.
A ghoulish figure stood by the door, holding a death scythe. At first it was not moving so I thought that it was just a mannequin placed there. Imagine my surprise when I was almost pushing the door, he shifts and aims his scythe at my arm.
What the hell?
"Welcome to Amore Mio. What is your poison? Sweet and dainty or sassy but deadly?" The figure's low voice challenged me, his scythe in my way of pushing the door.
Sweet and dainty?
Sassy but deadly?
Is that even a choice?
"Sassy but deadly, please." I answered quietly. The door opened slightly and the ghoulish figure looked at the white hand that peeked out.
"Sassy but deadly, Carmilla it is." He intoned before the door widened and out came a sexy red dressed vixen came out. My eyes widened when I recognize who it was.
"Oh hey, Kyle. It's good of you to come. Come on in. Sassy but deadly it is." I couldn't speak another word as a very sexy and beautiful Cat led me to a table by the windows. The pizza parlor was packed with customers. Some were there to eat but I noticed that there were more women than men in here. I was distracted from my thoughts when Cat came back with the menu.
"So here it goes." Cat made a slight curtsy. "Welcome to Amore Mio. I am Carmilla, the countess of the night, here to serve you your just deserts. May I know how can I be of service?"
I was just about to make a joke about her medieval speech when a vision passed her by. The girl was dressed in a puffy snowy white gown, her dark hair adorned by pink flowers. She was also holding a flowery wand with her.
I tried to form words but I was tongue-tied. I know Cat was the type of beauty that I can never have but can only adore and I was actually planning to make a move once this investigation about her sister is done. What I didn't expect was to find someone else to take my attention from Cat.
"Hey!" Cat interrupted my thoughts. When I looked up, she was smiling widely. I didn't know why but I think she saw me ogling her co-worker.
"You should have said, sweet and dainty, you know." She smirked as she commented on my fascination with her co-worker. She suddenly straightened and yelled out. "Hey Diao Chan, can you take over for me for a while? I need my Cecilion." With that, Cat left my table and sauntered over to the counter where a black robed Dracula clothed guy leaned over and gave her an air kiss. I saw how Cat smiled at the man, it was the smile of a lover before she kissed him on the lips. Both disappeared in the kitchen.
"What? Hey, Carmilla! Come on!" A new voice near me whined. I looked up and my blood drained from my face. It was the angel who was flitting around. Now her arms were crossed under her ample breasts that made my breath hitch.
My God, shoot me now.
"Geez." She muttered before looking at me. She looked at me indifferently before making a bow.
"I am Diao Chan, one of the Three Beauties of the Qing Dynasty and looking for my Lu Bu. What may I do for you?"
"Be mine." I blurted out. Her eyes widened incredulously. I blushed furiously at my blunder. Nice one.
"Um, excuse me. We don't provide that kind of services here, buddy. You'd better get out before I throw you out." She hissed back at me. For a firefighter paramedic, I can do and solve any emergency without batting an eye, talk to cute girls without pissing my pants and form sentences without losing my cool.
Now, why can't I do anything in this situation?
"No, no that's not what I mean." I stuttered. I pulled the chair beside me and pulled her to sit on it. At first she was incredulous, her gorgeous brown eyes ready to pop a vein.
Now that she was seated near, I don't know what to say. I just looked at her and I felt that heaven just opened up.
"You are so beautiful." I said quietly. Her eyes widened at that.
"Your order, sir." Cat placed a pan pizza on the table with two glasses of iced tea. Cat took a seat across us and just looked at us with a grin plastered to her face.
"Uh, Cat, who the hell is this and what the hell is going on?" The girl in the white dress demanded incredulously. Even when she was incoherent with anger, she was still a beauty.
"Oh, this is Kyle Brent, my savior and friend. I asked him to come over and join us. I didn't know that he'd be smitten by someone here. Kyle, this Tamara Ricks. She's my classmate, tutor and best friend. Please take note that if you do something inappropriate to her, the owner of the shop who is her cousin is within his right to sock your face off. Tamara, Kyle is a paramedic so if ever you need to be rescued, he is the guy for you. Don't worry, he is single and used to have a huge crush on me."
I blushed at Cat's words and tried to hit her. She giggled and moved out of harm's way. She left our table to take over some of Tamara's work.
The time that I spent in the shop was filled with only looking at Tamara. She was really a dream turned reality. I didn't even noticed the time until the ghoulish figure outside came in and removed his hood.
"That was the most hectic time I've ever had. Oh hey, Mr. Muscle. Guess you found something else to pick on." He smirked at us before making his way towards a door at the back.
"Um, I got to go. It's late, you know." Tamara mumbled before standing up.
Oh no you don't.
"Uh, can I call you later? I hope you don't mind." I asked, offering my phone to her.
She blushed adorably before she keyed in her number on my phone. She dialed her number and called her own. When her phone rang, she gave me back my phone.
"There you go. I have your number. No prank calls please or I'll murder you.
I smiled at her threat. Man, I'll gladly die in her hands. Weird, right.
"Okay. See you." Tamara waved goodbye before leaving.
I laughed at myself and paid my bill on the counter. Cat smiled and told me good luck before I left the shop.
That was something worth coming back to.
