Chapter 10

Kat's POV

Steven and I arrived at the Halloween superstore about fifteen minutes later.

We locked the car up, and Steven interlocked his fingers with mine.

Just to straighten things out, I absolutely love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday, and I've dressed up every year since I could walk.

The bell above the door jingled as we entered, and my face lit up.

I was in heaven for sure.

There were masks hanging everywhere, and any Halloween costume you could think of, was sold here. And my favorite part: they had animatronics and statues that come to life at the push of a button.

Steven and I walked farther into the store to the back wall where the costumes were hanging.

I started scanning costumes, trying to find one that would suit me.

I turned around to ask Steven what he would think would be nice on me, and he wasn't there.

I smirked to myself, because I was almost certain he was going to try and scare me. Still, my heart was pounding.

I rounded the corner of the aisle, and...nothing.

I sighed to myself, lightly smiling.

"Boo!!" I heard from behind me.

I didn't scream, but I jumped back, my hand lightly on my chest.

Steven pulled off the zombie mask, and smiled.

I laughed, "How did I know you would do that?!"

"You know me."

He held up a bag with a costume inside.

"What do you think about this? For me?!"

I rose an eyebrow, smirking playfully, as I grabbed the bag from his hands.

"Mob Boss." I read out loud.

I surveyed the contents, and it had everything from a white fedora, to a cane.

I smiled, because I could totally see Steven as a gangster.

"I think it's perfect. Go for it."

Steven kissed me, dragging me back to the costume wall.

"Now we need you to find something, sugar."

I giggled, my eyes scanning each and every costume, until they landed on one.

I snatched it instantly, and held it to my chest, hiding it.

Steven smirked.

"Let me see."

I shook my head. "No."

Steven rose an eyebrow playfully.

"Oh really??"

"Yes! I want it to be a surprise for you. You're not seeing it until tomorrow night." I replied, biting my lip cutely.

Steven smiled cheekily, and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Then it better be sexy, baby." He whispered in my ear, causing shivers to run up my spine.

I smiled seductively up at him.

"Oh trust me, you'll want to take it off the second I have it on." I whispered back.

Steven kissed me, leaving me breathless yet again.

"Let's go." I said.

We started to walk up to the register, when I got an idea.

"Wait." I said, gripping his hand.

For the next ten minutes, I pressed every button to see every statue or animatronic do their thing.

"Okay, now we can go." I giggled.

Steven rolled his eyes playfully as he followed me up to the register.

~~~~~

The next night, Halloween

I was finishing curling my hair, smiling to myself in the mirror.

I grabbed my black fedora, and placed it on my head.

I finished it off, by applying liquid black eyeliner, mascara, and red lipstick.

I stood in front of my full length mirror.

I was so excited for Steven to see me.

I was dressed as a carbon copy of Steven's costume. I was a female mobster.

My pin-striped pants hugged my curves beautifully, and the matching blouse, showed deep cleavage. I finished the costume off with black strappy boots.

Steven was gonna drool.

A knock on my bedroom door broke me out of my thoughts.

"Kat?! You almost ready, baby?" Steven's voice echoed through the door.

I smiled, biting my lip.

"I'll be right out." I replied.

I heard his footsteps walking away, and I looked in the mirror once more.

I grabbed my clutch, and walked out of the bedroom.

The second Steven laid eyes on me, a Chesire-cat like smile appeared on his face.

I posed seductively, my hands on my hips.

"What do you think?" I asked, smirking at him.

Steven moved closer and placed his hands on my hips.

He looked into my eyes.

"I think I want to take you back to the bedroom and rip these clothes off of you."

I blushed a little as Steven leaned in to kiss me passionately.

I pulled back, completely breathless, a smirk on my face.

"Later, I promise. Because you don't look too bad yourself." I whispered.

I glanced at the clock.

"We gotta go. We're meeting Jasmine at the club in fifteen minutes." I said.

"Let's go." Steven nodded.

Steven and I got to the club that was hosting the Halloween party a little late.

We parked, and were let in VIP because of Steven.

We walked inside, and I couldn't see anything because it was so crowded.

I grabbed Steven's hand.

"How are we gonna find Jasmine?" I yelled to Steven over the music.

"I don't know." Steven replied.

My phone went off, in a text.

Jaz: me and my date are over by the bar, come here.

I looked up at Steven.

"They're by the bar." I managed to tell Steven.

We pushed through the crowds of people until we reached the bar.

"Kit Kat!!" Jaz exclaimed, hugging me tightly.

She was a generic maid. Of course.

"Hey, Jaz. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm good! Come on, meet my date."

Steven and I looked where she was gesturing, and my heart dropped to my stomach.

Chris, as in my crazy ex-boyfriend, was my little sister's date.

I tensed up, and Steven noticed, gripping my hand tighter.

Chris's eyes landed on me.

"Hey, Kat."

I felt like I was gonna throw up.

"Wait, what?" Jaz questioned.

I ignored her for that moment, and ordered a drink from the bar. I downed it instantly, and ordered another downing that. My vision was a little blurry.

I turned back to my boyfriend and everyone else.

"Steven and I are gonna go dance." I finally said.

I grabbed Steven's hand and pulled him onto the floor.

"Steven..what the fuck?!" I freaked out.

"She doesn't know anything, or she wouldn't have brought him here." Steven soothed me by placing a gentle kiss on my forehead.

I sighed, relaxing into him.

"I'm gonna go fix myself, collect my thoughts." I told him.

"You still look sexy." Steven smirked.

I smiled, and pushed through the people, and into the bathroom.

A couple minutes later, after cooling myself down, I emerged from the girl's room.

"Surprised?"

I turned to see Chris leaning against the wall next to the restrooms.

I glared at him. "Leave me alone."

He reached out and grabbed my arm, making me face him.

"I didn't know that was your little sister. And I didn't know you were gonna be here. But I like her a lot." Chris said.

"I don't care. I've moved on, but I swear to god, if you hurt her the way you hurt me, I will personally end your life." I threatened, leveling my gaze at him.

Chris smirked, "Understood, but you're still the hotter sister. I would still rather have you."

I ripped my arm out of his grasp.

"No thank you."

I started to walk away from Chris, only to be approached by Jasmine.

"There you guys are." She spoke softly.

I sighed. "Well here we are."

Jaz looked into my eyes.

"How do you know Chris?" She whispered, the audience only being us two now.

"He was my boyfriend. And he hit me. That's all. I just don't want you to get hurt."

Jaz's eyes widened. "Kat, I didn't know that. Why didn't you tell me? I really like him."

I softened. "It's not a big deal, you can be with him. I swear." I forced a smile.

"Okay, well, Steven is waiting for you on the dancefloor. He asked me to go find you."

I nodded, and went to go find Steven.

We danced the night away, and I drank to numb my thoughts.

And when Steven and I got home, our night only got better.
