Mauve and Silver (Part 1)

"No. Thank Dios for that!" Reyanna exclaimed. Why wasn't this Chico moving?

"Did it hurt?" He asked again.

"Are you deaf?" She asked.

"It must have hurt when you fell from the heaven," He looked dazed.

"Huh?" She was confused. What heaven?

"I must be in a museum," He was blabbering now.

"What?" Reyanna was utterly confused.

" 'Cause you're really a piece of art," He said and Reyanna looked at him as if he had two heads. Then she recognized, he was using sucky pick up lines at her.

"Move!" She was angry now. First, he scares the shit out of her, and then uses pick-up lines?

"Are you an alien?" He said. "Because you just abducted my heart," He added before Reyanna could answer.

She looked down and saw that his hands still held her. She pulled away.

"Do you have first aid?" She asked.

"No, why?" He looked uncertain.

"Because you'll need it when I break your nose!" Her nose flared with anger. The guy laughed. How dare he!

"Move!" She warned him.

"Do you have a name, or shall I call you mine?" He asked, a grin on his face.

"Oh, I have a name! It will be on the criminal list if you don't move now!" Reyanna warned.

The guy chuckled again, but slowly left her arm and waist.

"Are you a parking ticket? Because you got fine written all over you," He said and Reyanna rolled her eyes and turned around to leave the parlor.

"Hey!" He called and Reyanna turned to look at him.

"Can I call you Google?" Reyanna gave him a look of disbelief.

"Cause you are everything I am looking for!" He grinned showing off his pearly white teeth.

Instead of replying, Reyanna rolled her eyes and went out only to find Olivia and Mark walking towards her.

"Don't go in the parlor," Reyanna warned them.

"What why?" Olivia asked.

"There is some loco...I mean crazy guy there. I think you shouldn't go in," Reyanna looked at the direction of the parlor, then back at them.

Olivia and Mark looked at each other with confusion.

"No staff of mine is mental, Miss Valdez. Are you sure?" Mark asked. Reyanna nodded.

"Oi Mark!" The same voice called, and the three turned towards it.

"That's the guy! He's crazy, like super crazy!" Reyanna exclaimed.

Olivia and Mark looked at each other and laughed walking towards the parlor. The guy too seemed to laugh leaving Reyanna bewildered.

She followed them anyways. Maybe the guy won't be acting idiotically around them.

"What did he do?" Mark asked the guy.

"First he startled me, I was about to fall! When I scolded him he started using ridiculous pickup lines at me!" Reyanna complained.

"Hey! It's not my fault that you are a bulb!" He answered.

"I'm a what?" Reyanna was confused.

"Because my life lights up when I see you," He said giving her a bright smile.
