Familiar Face
For the majority of the ride, the boys raced each other. I tightened my grip on Marko, certain that I will fall of at the speed he was going. The bikes came to a stop right at the edge of a cliff and I looked around, expecting to find a house. Instead, I was met with a cave, warning signs 'DANGER' and 'KEEP OUT' displayed on the outside. I anxiously glanced at Marko who smirked and took me inside.
"You guys live here?" I asked in amazement. The place was huge. Very unique.
"That's right girl!" Paul answered, climbing onto the fountain.
David proceeded to inform me of the history of the cave and how they ended up finding it. The speech to me seemed pretty rehearsed, almost as if he had said this 100 times before. I didn't really pay attention when he spoke, I was too busy studying the cave.
"Do you want to sit down?" Marko offered, motioning towards a battered couch. I nodded and took a seat.
"Hungry Naomi?" David asked.
"Not really" I replied awkwardly. This dude gave me the creeps.
"Are you sure, I could send Marko to get us all a Chinese?" Dwayne and Paul snickered, Marko looked down at his feet.
"I'm good, honestly" my gut told me that being here was a bad idea and that I should leave. But I knew Marko wanted me to stay.
The awkwardness finally died down after an hour or two. I had gotten use to Paul and Dwayne. They made me feel so welcome. David, not so much. The four of us were currently stuck in a debate about which band had the better legacy and impact. Me and Paul were arguing that it was Guns&Roses, Marko and Dwayne fought back with Def Leppard.
"No way! G&R went downhill when they released their second album" Marko spat.
"But to this day, they are still well known" I fired back, sticking my tongue out at him and earning a high five from Paul.
"Yeah...well their front man's a damn menace so shut up" Dwayne said. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Naomi?" We turned to David.
Yeah?" I asked.
"You remind me of someone we once knew...but I can't think of who" He gave me a cold stare.
"Do I?" I looked around and found the others studying my face. I guess they were trying to see if David was right.
"Naomi it's getting late, I'm gonna take you home!" Marko said out of the blue. I said goodbye to the guys and let the cave with Marko. I could still feel David's stare.
