28. Candy
Leo's POV
After breakfast, it was time for all of us to go get the decorations for the halloween stuff. I don't know what's into Virgo, though. For some reason, I'm having a feeling she really doesn't like me.
"Can you hurry up?" I yell out holding the door to leave.
Virgo was talking to Cepheus. Flirting with him of course. She looked at me and gave me a finger telling me to wait. I rolled my eyes as she went back to talk to him. I walk over there to stand beside her to hear what was even going on. What can I say? I'm nosy!
"Yeah, I'll be there. Mind putting in your number so you can send me the address?" he asked giving Virgo his phone.
Virgo just smiled in response and typed her number in. Cepheus looked at me while Virgo was on his phone and waved. I gave back a wave and a fake grin. I'm still more beautiful than he is. And I don't have time for ugly people.
"Can we go now?" I ask Virgo as she was giving Cepheus his phone back.
"Yeah," she said rolling her eyes at me. Her emotion and reaction changed so much from how she talks to me than to Cepheus. "See you tomorrow!" She waved at him and smiled. When we were walking together out the door, she started to frown up.
"What even happened?" I asked being nosy like always.
"I invited him to come to our halloween party. I told him you throw the best parties, so it would be great!" she says to me energetically.
I put a hand over my heart. "You really said that?" I did a fake, dramatic cry.
"Hell no. I just invited him to come and told him I'll send him the address," she said scoffing.
Like I said, I'm really starting to think Virgo is not kidding about hating me.
I hold the door and let her pass through. I really would've closed it on her, but I still had hope she still loves me just like everyone else. I mean, I'm Leo!
We both got into my car and I put the keys in ignition. Virgo closed her door and sighed.
"Wrong with you?" I asked her as I started to drive out. I looked behind me to make sure I wouldn't run over anybody.
"I'm in a car with my least favorite person," she says nonchalantly.
"What? Who else is in here?" I ask her acting oblivious that she was talking about me. I look in the backseat curiously only to piss her off. She rolled her eyes. Doesn't she just love it when I act all confused? Forget what I said earlier, she still loves me.
She started to shake her head letting her platinum blonde hair cover one of her eyes. She then pulls it behind her ear. "Y'know I'm only agreeing in this because I still think Ophiuchus will come. And according to Lupus, all twelve of us can destroy him if that ever comes up," she says to me with serious eyes.
"We just got here yesterday, Virgo. Obeanicus hasn't even made a move. You know why? Because he's not here," I say back to her. She death stared me like that time she was giving the stupid speech about Obeanicus. I still kind of felt bad after that. Not that bad though.
She looked away fron me and rested her head on the seat. I guess she was trying to sleep now. I don't know why she's going to sleep now. Lupus told us to buy a buttload of candy, so right now we were headed to a candy store. Not gonna lie, I really don't want to do any of this. If I really wanted to go against this though, I would be with Aries or Sagi right now. But I'm here with Virgo. But I'm only here because Lupus told us to do so. And she's hot! I learned to always listen to your future wife, so I guess it couldn't be that bad hanging out with Virgo for today.
I "accidently" passed a red light. Why? Because this traffic is shit! I look at Virgo who was still sleeping and sighed in relief. She would be so pissed if she saw that. Thank God she's sleeping.
I started looking at my phone and saw that Aries texted me. All he told me was how much he wished he had anybody else except for Cancer. I shake my head at the text. Cancer is nice, what does he mean! I was texting him back and almost ran over a stop sign. I quickly swerved and we were still safe. Luckily.
I look at Virgo again who was still sleeping, grateful that she was so that she wouldn't yell at me. I hear her nagging voice in my head already and rolled my eyes thinking about it. Soon, watching her sleep made me so sleepy. I just... wanna... nap-
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
Oh shit! Did I sleep? I wake up quickly and looked around to see my landmark on the road. I was only sleep for about 3 seconds. It felt longer. I shake my head waking myself up and my cap fell off to the backseat. I went to go grab it letting my eyes leave the road once more.
"What the hell, Leo," Virgo says. I was still trying to get my cap from the backseat, but she already went and got it for me smacking me in the head with it.
Just great! She's awake again!
"Ever heard of the most important thing when you're driving? Keep your fucking eyes on the road, idiot," she says to me rubbing her eyes.
I took my cap with one hand and drove with the other while glaring at her. Shd obviously didn't have time for another staring contest because as soon as I looked at her, she pointed to the road. I looked at the road and we were about 2 minutes away to get the store we wanted.
"You can't take your eyes off the road, Leo. You could die," she says to me. I feel her eyes piercing through my skin. I wanted to look back at her, but I didn't want to get yelled at again.
Instead, I just smirked. That was the first time she sounded genuinely worried about me. I knew she loved me! I guess she caught on to what she just said. She was afraid that I would die. I mean, I drive like everybody else, but okay, Virgo!
"Not like it matters though. Most importantly, I could die." She crossed her arms and slouched in her seat.
"You care about me," I said still smirking and wiggling my eyebrows, still looking at the road as instructed.
"You're concieted, Leo. You care about you," she snapped. I felt her roll her eyes.
I look at her making sure she saw my whole face of a smirk. She smacked my shoulder. "Road," she says pointing straight ahead. I turned like she told me to. I didn't want to, but we were already at the store. Virgo still slouched in her seat with her arms crossed.
When I parked in the parking lot, Virgo got out the car quickly, not making eye contact with me.
I got out of the car taking my sweet, precious time. "Are you ready to go shopping!" I say putting the car keys in my back pocket.
She glowered at me and looked straight ahead. "Let's make this as quick as we can," she says to me.
I just nodded in response. I seriously never knew what was her problem with me. I mean, I do. But I'm none of those things she say about me! I'm totally nice, so responsible and mature, and I could really be her friend if she just lets me. I never saw why I annoyed her so much. She doesn't annoy me... when she's sleeping.
We walk through the automatic doors. Everything in the store had lots of sweet things. I wanted every single thing!
"Let's buy everything," I say looking at all the cakes and candies and cookies.
"Why would you spend your money for everything for one night," she says to me giving me a very confused look. She's such a mother.
I shook my head. "Who says it was my money?" I said holding up Sagi's credit card. Her eyes lit up when she saw Sagi's name on it.
"Why the hell did you take her credit card? That's stealing, Leo. You could get arrested!"
I just shrugged. "She had it coming."
She took the credit card and put it in her back pocket. "Hey-" I was saying furrowing my eyebrows looking confused.
"You're not spending Sagi's money." She walked faster than me so that she could be away from me for a while. Why is she no fun? I guess I know why she acts like she hates me. She hates fun! I started to speed up my pace to get closer to her which didn't take much time. She's short so her steps are like one inch. She turned around back to me as I was catching up with her. "You check that side," she said pointing to the left, "and I'll check here. Find me when you find everything." She walked away, leaving me to the other side of the store.
I just sighed. I'm starting to have that feeling again that she doesn't like me. For real this time. And I don't like it. I went to my side like instructed to go find candies. All of the sudden, I didn't care what hot Lupus said. I'd rather be with anyone than with Virgo right now. Hell, I'd even have Scorpio rather her. I get a buzz from my phone and looked at the message from Aries. He sent me a picture.
I guess he's warming up to Cancer given that they were both covered in pumpkin guts. If you didn't know already, Cancer and Aries were both supposed to find pumkins. How the hell did they get covered in the guts though? I shook off that thought and laughed at the message. At least they're having fun.
"Hey!" some girl says to me.
I looked at her and put my phone in my back pocket. She had brown hair and wore blue jean shorts and a blouse. Not to be rude, but her whole outfit was wack. At least she was hot.
"Hi," I say back not realizing I sounded awkward.
"Y'know, the good candy is on the other side of the store, right?" she asked me picking up candy from where I was standing at now.
I watch her put the candy in her cart. "Then why are you getting the bad candy? Unless you're lying to me," I say raising a brow.
She looked left and then right checking if someone was watching her. She then put her hand around her mouth and started to whisper. "I'm punishing children."
I laughed. She laughed with me. "I don't know you, but I can tell you are a horrible person," I say smiling after the laugh.
She shrugged. "What can I say? Kids these days can lay off the candy anyway."
"What?" I asked getting defensive. I shook my head. "You were probably that one old lady who would give me tootsie rolls every year."
She laughed. I didn't even realize that was funny. I was serious. I fucking hate that candy. That and candy corn. This girl was out of her damn mind. Who does she think she is punishing kids to get bad candy? That's like poison. She put out a hand for me to shake. "Lyra."
I snaoped out of my thoughts and grabbed it. "Leo," I say shaking it. She still had a smile on her face.
"Wanna help me find some actual good candy? Or do you want to continue being the grandma of halloween?" I ask crossing my arms.
She looked up at the sky rubbing her chin. "I'll take that into consideration."
I shrugged and left her. "Take your time. I'll just be in the good candy section. Alone. Finding no grandma candy while you'll be here. By yourself. Alone. Finding the grandma candy." I was walking slow hoping she would go along with me. I felt her walk up beside me.
"Okay then, Leo." She was walking slow with me now. She was quiet for a moment until a rush of adrenaline bursted through her wild eyes. "Race ya there," she says sprinting to the other side of the store.
Something tells me I'm actually gonna like this girl. I started running and caught up with her. She looked at me while we were both still running like kids. I'm only 20 who's acting like a 7 year old. This is seriously the life! That was until both of us was stopped by a short, hot girl with platinum hair. She looked really mad.
"Leo, what are you doing?" Virgo asked me with arms filled with candy.
Lyra was catching her breath as I was doing the same gripping my knees while so. "This is where all the good candy is at," I say still catching my breath.
She looked at Lyra who was catching hers too but waved at Virgo. "Hi. I'm Lyra." She put a hand out for Virgo to shake.
Virgo hesitated taking her hand and shaking it. "Virgo." She looked back at me. "I told you to look over that side, Leo," she said letting go of Lyra's hand.
"Wait," Lyra said finally catching her breath. "Leo and Virgo the zodiacs?"
I shook my head and so did Virgo. Lyra cocked her head at both of us. "Woah. And not too long ago I met Scorpio," she says.
I cocked my head this time. "You know Scorpio?"
She nodded her head. "He was at the store across the street buying groceries," she pointed to which store she was talking about. "He's pretty cool."
"He was," I mumbled under my breath. Lyra didn't hear me but Virgo obviously did since she elbowed me. I gave her a death stare that she ignored.
"Well, nice meeting you," Virgo says grabbing my arm and turning me away from her.
"Wait," I say stopping Virgo from letting us leave. "Lyra do you want to come with us?" I turned to Lyra now whose outfit was very wack. She was hot, but Virgo should definitely teach her something about style.
Lyra smiled. "Sure, why not. I'm not really doing anything important anyway," she says shrugging her shoulders.
"Yeah, being a grandma sounds like the least important thing to do," I say.
She laughed and I smiled. I looked at Virgo who was walking with us letting go of my arm and cradles the candy back in her arms. She was frowning. I don't know if that's just her resting bitch face, but something's telling me it's not. I look back at Lyra who put her hands in her pockets. For some reason, she reminds me of Sag. Not style wise, of course. but personality. I like it.
Lyra, Virgo, and I all got every single good candy there was. I even picked out 2 cakes while Lyra picked out 4 boxes of cookies. We were walking to go to py our things and the cashier looked at us with big eyes.
"Are you sure you guys got enough candy?" he asked with a smug across his face. "Buy the whole store while you're at it."
"Shut the hell up and just be lucky we're helping your business by paying," Lyra says to him.
He put his hands up in surrender and started scanning. She's pretty badass. I liked that.
When we had all of the bags in the cart, the total was about $1,000. Virgo looked at me and I looked back at her. We were obviously both thinking which one of us was gonna pay all of this shit.
"Go pay," Virgo says to me.
I sighed. I don't know why I listened to her. I looked inside my wallet to find my credit card and it wasn't there. I check in both my pockets. Not there. Then it came to me. Sagittarius.
I sighed deeply. "I don't have my card," I say still looking in my wallet.
"What do you mean you don't have your card?" Virgo says death staring the fuck out of me. I could literally die if I looked into her eyes some more. They were pretty scary, even though I acted like they weren't. I looked away from her and back to my wallet in case I would be turned into stone as if she was Medusa or some shit.
"I mean I don't fucking have it," I say back not realizing my voice was raising.
She huffed and puffed. She oaused for a minute until she brought her wallet out. She started to get her credit card until Lyra stopped her.
"It's fine. It's on me," she said holding her credit card as if it were diamonds and gold.
Virgo and I step aside to let Lyra swipe her card. It took about 2 whole minutes for everything to process. I look at Virgo who had her hands in her jacket watching Lyra.
"Dude, thanks," I say smiling at her as she put her card in her back pocket.
"It's no problem," she says to me while shrugging.
"Yeah, I could've paid," Virgo said. Why all of the sudden did she want to pay? Bipolar much?
"But you wanted me to," I say looking at her now as I roll the cart to go outside. Lyra was still walking with us on our way there. Virgo didn't even argue with me. I kept looking at her and I guess she just wasn't gonna go for it. Lame.
"I can help you guys put the stuff in your car if you want," Lyra insisted.
I look at her know raising a brow. "Are you sure?"
She shrugged. "It's not like I have anything better to do right now."
I thought for a second. "Are you doing anything tomorrow? Y'know, things that grandmas don't do?" I ask her teasing her.
She squinted her eyes at me like she was trying to read me. "What are you suggesting?" she asked, cocking her head at me.
"Well, Virgo and I were actually getting this stuff to plan a halloween party. Wanna come?" I ask smirking at the hot girl with horrible fashion sense.
She put her index finger and thumb on her chin, stroking it. "I don't see why not. What's the address?"
I put my hand out and she gave me her phone. I put my number in her phone and saved myself as "Hot Zodiac Guy".
"Text me and I'll send it to you," I say starting to put the stuff in the back of my car. I saw her blush just a bit.She was obviously trying to hide it, but it was just too obvious.
She then looked at her phone and busted out laughing. "'Hot Zodiac Guy'? Really, Leo?" she asked me still chuckling.
I smirked and shrugged my shoulders. I'm not flirting. I'm just charming!
I completely forgot that Virgo was here until she started to do that annoying complaining. "A little help here," she says holding a big ass box. What makes her short ass think she can carry that? I was about to help her until Lyra put her phone in her back pocket and took over.
"I got it," she says taking the box from Virgo's arms. She held it like she was the fucking Hulk. A girl got arms. Virgo just stood there watching Lyra carry the box into the car with an emotionless face. She looked like she was jealous of her.
I walk up to Virgo and nudged her arm. "Aww, don't be jealous," I say to her. She started to blush a little before I could even finish what I was saying. "Maybe if you worked out like Lyra, you could have those arms." I smirked at her. Her blushing went away and she looked at me with the same eyes that could fucking kill. She then punched the shit out of my right arm and got in the car. Ow! I take that back. Maybe Virgo have good arms too... ow!
