“And then,” Dominic concluded his tale. “My dad said yes.”
“Your old man actually said that?” Pynkie said as he slipped from his pop.
“But yer pa’s the one that banned sleepovers at yer place, ain’t he?” B.J. added before stuffing his mouth full of fried roaches.
“Blame my older siblings for that one,” Dominic retorted.
He remembered that day. Some of his sisters held a massive slumber party while their parents were out. That was when their party caused a blackout that reached halfway across Dis. His parents were non too pleased about the power bill that followed.
But this wasn’t a sleepover. Only a dinner date with a friend. A human friend for the matter.
“Hey, how come you ever invite us to go to the human world?” Kyler was the next to ask.
Dominic’s dark eyes leered. One of the carved minitures—a demon guardian with a hefty battleaxe—from their game levitated off his makeshift table, hurtling into the other demon. The miniture’s guided path led into Kyler’s forehead. The young pureblood yelped in pain and rubbed on the red spot left by the miniture.
No one inside the treehouse needed to question how the miniture flew at their friend. Dominic was the only group member gifted with magic, including powerful telekinetic abilities.
“Can we please focus on the bigger issue? Rosemary, the devil’s stepdaughter, my friend, is coming to my house to eat dinner with my family.
“So what’s the problem?” the silver-haired incubus then asked.
“My siblings don’t know that I’ve been going to the human world. That’s the problem.”
“Well then it’s simple,” Kyler said. “You just gotta make sure nothing about the human world is brought up.”
“Yeah right. All my siblings are going to be asking her questions about the human world.”
“Not if there were ways to prevent that.” Kyler made a nasty smirk. Dominic recognized what that crooked expression meant, as did everyone else. They all knew him as the schemer of their little group. Too bad most of his schemes had a low success rate.
“It’s simple. We just stake out at your house, when the devil’s stepdaughter is over, and if your siblings try to ask her anything remotely related to the human world, we’ll create some distractions. You can use your magic. We’ll move some stuff around. It’ll work.
“And you’ll have more time to spend with your date.” That last sentence came off more as mockery. Something that Dominic quickly picked up on. His eyes leered once more and the same miniture smacked against the back of Kyler’s head. Kyler yelped and cursed again, now rubbing the area the miniture hit.
Dominic sighed and shook his head. “That is the dumbest idea you’ve ever come up with. But I really have anything else. Okay, let’s do it.”
