The Sweet Little Beauty
And they blamed you? But that’s so unfair! It wasn’t your fault, Nathaneal.
Candice smiled at the memory of them playing together when they were kids but it faded away as he continued speaking,”When I got hurt?.. What are you talking about?” she couldn’t recall that memory. She looked at him pleadingly, she wanted to know the truth.
Malcolm grinned and walked linking arms with Candice towards her dorm room. He dropped off her suitcase neatly on her bed and smiled. “No more leaving, Candice. Next time you have a problem come to me.” He pointed to himself. He took her hand and placed it on his arm to guide her. He walked out towards a cute cafe and took a seat closest to the window.
Candice grinned when he took her suitcase. She shook her head as she followed him to her dorm and when he came out she folded her arms cocking her head to the side with a smile, “Deal. No leaving without talking to you.” she nodded as he took her hand. She liked her friendship with Malcolm. He was a really good friend to her even if they had barely hung out he was always kind. When they both sat at the table she tapped her fingers against the table until the waiter came around to take their orders. She ordered a nice cup of milk and honey tea. Her chin placed into her palm looking at her friend, “Thank you for being my friend…” she smiled happily.

“I’ll have too.” Victoria kept her head set softly on the blonde’s, realizing that, though ridiculous, that actually sounded kind of fun. She’d never done that with anyone before. Feeling the girl look up at her, Victoria looked down at her and smiled a warm smile back. “Guess not, huh?” she replied, laughing just a little and setting her cheek on top of the girl’s head. “Thanks.” It just kind of slipped from her lips. “For being my friend, and stuff.”
When the brunette thanked her she gave her a questioning look until she finished the sentence. A big smile spread across the girls lips, “Of course, Tori” she grinned squeezing the girls hand. She was glad to be friends with Victoria. Of course she sort of brought up the best friend idea herself but she some how felt they needed to be friends from the very start. Sighing softly she sat up a bit, though kept her smile up, “shall we put on a movie?” she asked.

Candice was walking around at night to clear her mind. The cool air and the stars shining over her was giving her a good distraction from everything going on around her. Not that it was much to fuss over. Now that she was outside and now that she had given herself more time to think. Sliding her gloved hands into the pockets of her pea coat she circled around the school a few times before slowing to a stop at a corner. She could hear the peaceful sound of the water fountain playing. That sounded nice- just sitting there to relax. When Candice turned the corner she saw a familiar face. He seemed a little preoccupied. Walking over she rubbed her hands together taking a seat on the ledge of the fountain. She paused before speaking, “Yooou doing okay?”
Dominic leaned his head back his eyes closed as he focused on the sound of the water trying to clear his head and remember all he could about last night. He actually jumped a little as the light girly voice awoke him from his deep thought. He tried playing it off crossing his legs quickly and resting his elbow on his knee as his supported his chin in his palm. “Yeah, Yeah. Just thinking.” He smiled still a bit embarrassed that he’d been scared by her, “Um how about you? How are you doing?”
The girls eyes widened a bit when he jumped a bit. She thought about commenting on it wit ha joke, but she just bit her lips shut to keep from laughing. A moment later she chuckled crossing her legs as well as her hands gripped the stone ledge. Candice smiled glancing over at him, “Ohh, that’s good. Thinking’s good!” she nodded before speaking again, “Uhm, I think I’m doing better.” Turning her body to the side she dipped her fingers into the water, drawing circles. “Unpacked my bags.” she added flashing a pearly white smile, “Whaat were you thinking about?” she asked curiously.
“Yeeah, real smooth move, slick.” The girl gave him a playful shove allowing herself to smile and laugh for a moment. Pausing again she cleared her throat, tapping her fingers against the bench, “Kick my ass? I don’t think so.. She loves me too much. Best friends, duh.” Candice flashed him a smile before giving him a tight hug back. Those two words pinched at her, she was beginning to want to stay, “You’ll see..” she pulled away and stood picking up her suitcase, “You wanna help me?”
Malcolm laughed “Of course I forgot you two are so close.” He looked over at her suitcase and picked it up. “I’ll help you out, under one condition. You go and grab a cup of coffee with me. I have class soon and need a pick-me-up.” He winked and smiled.
Candice rolled her eyes but couldn’t help the smile spreading across her lips,”Why of course there’s always a condition,” she let him take her suitcase,” coffee sounds perfect actually.” she nodded sliding a hand into her pocket the other linking arms with his walking.
“If I’d like to?” Victoria asked, looking down at the blonde. “I’d love to stay here with you.” She snuggled close to her. “I would be really bored if you left though. I wouldn’t have my permanent best friend,” she explained, petting the girl’s…
Candice laughed at the girl’s suggestion, imagining them taking Christmas pictures together; it sounded so silly and ridiculous but the girl would go through it with her. Anything sounded fun when it was with victoria,” sounds like a plan! I love it. You better mark your calendar cause were taking those pictures,” her voice trailed away in thought. Sighing softly she looked up again with a warm smile,” maybe you won’t have to trap me after all” her shoulders shrugged.
Dominic sat on the fountain ledge running his hand over the coarse concrete. He remembered there conversation here, he remembered offering her alcohol. He was by common sense sure she’d said yes since he couldn’t remember any of that night. He tapped his finger on the ledge annoyed with himself, that night felt so important. He sighed closing his eyes as he leaned back running his hands through his hair he tried to calm himself with the sound of the crashing water.

Malcolm smiled at her and nodded. “I do mean it. Including me..I know I was a jerk to you, or I mean, tried to kiss you that one time when I was giving you a massage, but you’re a really amazing person. Besides, I know Victoria would probably kick your ass for leaving.” He lightly laughed and reached to give her a hug. “Don’t leave.”
“Yeeah, real smooth move, slick.” The girl gave him a playful shove allowing herself to smile and laugh for a moment.
