was,” Nick said as he leaned in for a soft peck on
the mouth.
Dash was back with Rene. The blond girl was still on
his arm. Dash looked miserable. “This is Gia,” Rene
announced. To say she was beautiful was an
understatement. Her caramel blond hair flowed down to the
middle of her back, her lips were full and rosy and her
amber eyes looked almost copper in the low stadium
lighting. And Dash was right. There was no way she was a
newly graduated high school senior.
“Ciao,” she waved at us with the hand that wasn’t
holding Rene’s.
“You’re a witch,” I said before I could stop myself.
Nick elbowed me in the arm. “What? She is. Aren’t you?”
“Sὶ,” she said with a heavy Italian accent. “I am a
witch.”
“Where did you come from and how did you get in
tonight?” Nat asked as she stepped out of the booth.
“I came from Italy to visit Rosetta,” Gia answered.
“Why? That’s Ky’s aunt, how do you know her?” Nat
asked with wide eyes.
“She is my aunt as well. I came to visit,” she smiled a
contagious smile. She was so beautiful that it would be
easy to hate her, but there was also something warm about
her.
“How is she your aunt too?” Nat continued to grill her.
“My uncle was married to her before he died,” she
smiled sweetly.
“Did you know she was a witch?” I asked Rene.
“Now I do,” he looked at Gia. “Why didn’t you tell me?
You know what I am, right?”
“I thought I could sense it, but in Italy we don’t
associate with weres.”
“Haven’t you heard that we have united once again
with the weres? My nonna has talked to most of the coven I
thought. Our feud here has ended.” She looked at my hand
holding Nick’s tightly. I couldn’t tell for sure, but it looked
like a flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
“I have heard, but not everyone accepts that. We really
have no reason to. But, I am glad to be here,” she smiled.
“You still didn’t tell us what you are doing here,” Nat
waved around us.
“Oh, Zia Rosetta told me the witches my age would all
be here. I thought it would be fun to meet some of you.”
“And they just let you in?” Nat looked a little peeved.
“Sὶ,” she smiled.
“But, you don’t look our age,” I said.
“Oh, well, I’m twenty.”
“What? Well, then why are you here? Rosetta should’ve
told you about the guys your age. There are several older
brothers that are witches. Why would you want to hang out
with high school kids?” Nat was getting more annoyed. I
could tell she felt a little threatened by Gia.
“Well, someone called Luca is working. And two
brothers are technically my cousins.”
“Luca is my brother,” I smiled. “You would have fun
with him.”
“Well, I am having fun here tonight. With mon cher,
Rene.” Gia turned to look at Rene and he practically melted
under her gaze.
“Uh, well, we were gonna take a picture of our group if
you can bear to let go of Rene for thirty seconds,” Nat
snipped.
“Of course,” Gia smiled.
“There’s no way we’re all gonna fit in here,” Jack
complained.
“Sure we will,” Dash said.
The six of us crammed inside the booth. We opted for
lap sitting. I sat on Nick, Nat sat on Jack, and grinning
widely, Dash sat on Rene’s lap. Nat and I looked at Dash
and nodded. For the first photo, those of us that were lap
sitting kissed our partner on the cheek, while draping our
arms around their necks.
“What the hell?” Rene pushed Dash after the flash. So
for the second flash, Dash was falling on the floor of the
booth. For our third pose, we decided to pretend like we
were all strangling one another, and lastly, we put our arms
all around each other and smiled.
When we were done, we set the machine to print out
four sets of the photos so Dash and Rene could each have
their own copies.
“This is definitely my favorite,” Gia laughed at the one
of Dash kissing Rene.
Rene punched Dash in the arm. “Yeah, thanks for the
the mouth.
