《Cuore Mio》Chapter Twenty Six - Movie Night
Advertisement
After Dante and I came back....home ? It is my home, isn't it ?
Anyway....after we came, I called Liam, Kim and Alex to invite them over tonight.
Liam said that he was going for a meeting, which for some reason, I don't believe. Kim and Alex said that they would come by later.
Yaaaaaayyyy !!!
Changing into comfortable clothes, I ordered pizza and got all the food ready.
I wore an over-sized gray sweater and black leggings. I let my naturally, wavy brunette hair flow down to my waist.
Dante wore gray sweatpants and a black t-shirt for the night.
Aaannndd.....we're matching.....
Kim reached the house before Dante so I spoke her about the date that I had with Dylan that night.
"He took me to a carnival. We went on rides the entire night and ate junk food."
"Carnival ? Wow.... that guy knows the way to your heart. You love carnivals."
I nodded in approval. "Later that day, when we were on top of the ferris wheel, Dylan tried to kiss me...." My voice trailed off.
"And......Lea ?" Kim asked, wanting to know what happened after that.
"I kinda, just might have, acted like I didn't see him trying to kiss me..." I said, slightly embarrassed.
"Oooh....My dude got rejected...." She said, widening her eyes.
"He's a really nice guy. It's just that I didn't feel the spark between us nor don't I think of anything for him besides a friend. I didn't want too kiss him and give him any false hopes...."
"I see.....what about Dante ?" Kim smirked, walking away.
What about Dante ? I like him, don't I ? I don't think he feels the same. I don't have the guts to tell him, though.
Fast forward to a few hours later; Kim, Alex, Dante and I were on the couch in the living room.

Kim is next to me on my right and Dante is on my left. Alex is next to Kim, on her right.
Kim and Alex were continuously bickering with each other.
"Krispy Kreme doughnuts are the best." Kim told Alex.
"No... Dunkin' Doughnuts are the best." Alex argued back.
"Their doughnuts are so sweet ! What's wrong with you ?" Kim said back.
"That's the whole point of a doughnut, Neonata." Alex sighs.
"The whole point of eating a doughnut is not to get high blood sugar, Chicito..." She huffs.
I don't know if they know, but Alex just called Kim 'baby girl' in Italian and Kim called Alex 'baby boy' in Spanish.
Wow...... the timing.....
"I'll get the snacks." I said, going into the kitchen.
I took all of the packets of chips and pizza boxes from the kitchen, outside to the living room.
I put a little peanut butter and a few baby pickles on my plate. Dipping the pickle in the peanut butter, I took a bite.
I know it might sound like a weird combination, but it tastes so good...
While we were all sprawled across the long couch; watching the movie, Alex saw what I was eating.
"Is that.... are you eating peanut butter and pickles ?" Alex asked in disbelief.
When he said that, Kim and Dante looked at us too.
"Yeah. You want to try ?" I asked, excited.
"What ? No." He said in disgust.
"Your loss." I shrugged.
The three of them stare at me while I take the next two bites. What is wrong with these people ?
"Will y'all stop staring at me and watch the movie ?" I said, annoyed.
"Are you really eating that ?" Dante asked.
"Yeah. It tastes heavenly..." I said, taking another bite.

"You're the spawn of Satan...." Alex said, in a worried voice.
"She's not Satan's spawn; she is Satan herself." Kim spoke up.
Dante and Alex looked at her, confused. So she explained, "I'm not kidding. She takes April's Fools Day, very seriously. This year, she took full advantage of the sleepover we had that night."
Since Alex as well as Dante were interested in what she was about to say, they subconsciously moved a little forward.
"When I had gone to the washroom, I tried to use the bar of soap but Azalea here," she said pointing to me, "thought it would be a great idea to coat it with nail polish so it wouldn't lather...."
Listening to that, I stifled a laugh. Alex and Dante chuckle a little.
"Then, she replaced the air freshener in my house with shrimp scent, which I don't when know how she got."
"Later that day, she said that she felt guilty for pranking me all day and offered to make dinner.
Letting her cook that night was the biggest mistake of my life. She coated a piece of cardboard with egg and flour; making or look like fried chicken."
Oh yeah I did that, didn't I ?
Alex and Dante burst out in laughter and so did I.
"And I left a Krispy Kreme box at her place when I left the next day." I continued, laughing my ass off.
"The box was filled with fruits and vegetables." Kim completed, with a straight face.
I know I'm a little evil sometimes, but I've always loved the day. You can play pranks on people all day and say it's April's fools day...
"I would never want to get on Piccola's bad side..." Alex said, pointing at me.
I felt Dante tense next time me as soon as Alex said that line.
For the next hour, we spoke to each other, and watched the movie from time to time.
"I need to go to the gym..." Kim said, in her drunken state.
"Why in the name of Jesus would you have to go to the gym now ? You're a crazy person..." Alex told Kim, taking a sip of his drink.
Since Kim didn't respond, I butted into their conversation, "She doesn't mean the gym." I clarified. "She means the jim. J-I-M." I spelled it out.
"She gave that name to her bathroom so that she could tell people that she is going to 'The Jim' in the mornings." I quoted the last part with my fingers.
"Weirdo....." Alex mumbled a little loudly.
By 12:00 am, they decided to go home. I told them that they could stay over because out was quite late to go back home. Plus, they were drunk.
Dante offered to drive them home because he didn't drink tonight.
When he had gone to reach them, in the meantime, I cleaned they mess we had made in the living room and had a nice, long shower.
I waited for Dante to came back....home, and once he did, we slept.
Ahh....... finally.... bed sweet bed.....

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
