Sweet as Sugar, Crazy as Hell

Chapter 40: (Halloween) Try not to drool at Leon.

It was already six o'clock and the sun is setting. Most kids would be getting ready by now while others are already outside, waiting for their friends so they can go trick or treating with each other.

But I was already dressed up and was only waiting for Leon outside CBG building.

I wonder what he'll dress up as?

I started to think of what he could've possibly chose while sticking my tongue out like a cat.

"Eh, who cares." I said and looked at my 'Charlie'.

If you didn't know, Sally's teddy bear is named Charlie.

"Hey, you been waiting long?" A voice asked from behind.

"Well, of course I was!" I exclaimed, sticking my tongue out like a cat.

"Well, shall we go then?" He asked.

"Nope, not yet." I told him.

"Why?" He asked.

"I need Ana for a bit so I know she won't show up when I'm trick or trea-"

I felt a shiver down my spine.

I shook my head, I feel like I'm sweating too much.

I touched my forehead and nearly fainted when I saw a crimson substance from my head.

"What is this!" I screeched.

"Hey, calm down." Leon told me, holding me.

"A-am I bleeding?" I asked in disbelief, "I don't feel hurt. Why am I holding a tattered bear? Why are my clo-"

Then it dawned to me, "It's Halloween, isn't it?

"Well... yeah." Leon replied.

I sighed, "Why can't she just dress up as a fairy or witch?"

"Then she wouldn't be Dayana anymore." He replied.

I closed my eyes furiously, "I guess you're right."

▪▪▪

I closed my eyes as I felt a shiver down my spine.

I stuck my tongue out like a cat then enthusiastically asked, "What time is it?"

"Uh..." Leon looked at his watch, "Six thirty."

"Wrong! It's time to go trick or treating!" I exclaimed then looked at his outfit.

Did it get hot out here or what?

"Uh..." was all I can say as I stared at him.

"What? Were the wings too much?" He asked me.

"Uh..."

Damn it, what has happened to your flip flapping mouth, Dayana?

Woman up!

"Yeah, I think we all know that 'Uh' isn't a possible answer now, isn't it?" He said with a laugh.

"Uh..."

Scooby-dooby-doo, where are you?

Please kill me now, like seriously.

"Dayana? Look, it's a flying fartcake!" Leon exclaimed then pointed to the sky.

"Where?!" I exclaimed and looked at the direction he was pointing.

"Too bad it's gone. What's left now is my arm around your shoulder." He said and put an arm around me.

"Smooth Ol- I mean, Lee. Smooth, Lee." I commented as I bit my lip.

He wiggled his eyebrows, "I do make an excellent, cheesy, and cringe-worthy Oliver 2.0, don't I?"
