sorry for double post here is chapter 7
Nero walked up the stairs toward the sixth floor of an apartment buliding.
When he reached the sixth floor he began digging in his pocket for his keys.
He put the key in the door and turned it, and then opened the door.
He entered the apartment that he shared with Kryie. Nero threw his keys down on the coffee table in the living room, before walking into the kitchen and putting his arms around his pretty auburn haired, girlfriend.
"Hi." he said.
"Where were you?" Kryie asked, not turning around, and continuing to do the dishes.
Nero was usually snoozing on the couch when Kryie got home from work. But today he hadn't been home at all. So she tried calling him, when he didn't pick up his cell phone Kryie got worried. When he didn't call back after she had called him five times, she started to get p*ssed.
"You didn't answer your cell phone." she said.
"I was driving." said Nero.
"For three hours? I have been trying to reach you for three hours, Nero."
"No, for two hours. I was in New york city."
New York City was a two hour drive from Fortuna. Kryie didn't have to ask, what Nero had been doing in New York City. She knew, New York, was where Dante lived. Lately Nero had been driving down to New York a lot. Kryie was confused as to why Nero was hanging out with Dante so much. She had gotten the impression that they didn't like each other much.
"Why are you going down there so much? I thought you and Dante hated each other."
"No, we don't hate each other. We never hated each other. We just didn't like each other much."
"Are you becoming friends with him?"
"No, not reallu but, I'm beginning to see a new side of him, that I like a lot."
"He's settled down and gotten married." Nero added at Kryie's confused look.
"Oh what's she like?" asked Kryie. she was sincerly interested in the personality of any woman who could tame Dante or rather make him settle down.
"Her personality?" asked Nero.
"Yes." said Kryie.
"How to describe Trish?" Nero thought out loud as Kryie finshed the previous night's dishes and the couple sat down on the couch.
"well she's a opinonated liberal woman, with a taste for hard ligour."
"hard ligour?" asked Kryie, who had never had a alcholic drink in her life.
"Yeah hard ligour, like gin, vodka, tequlia, or jack daniels straight up." Nero explained.
"You weren't drinking, were you, Nero?" asked Kryie with a concerned look on her face.
"No. I wasn't." said Nero.
"I was worried when you weren't home, when I got home today." said Kryie. "I got a little angry when you didn't call me back. But I understand that you were driving. I'm sorry I got angry,Nero."
"It's okay." said Nero. "You had every right to be angry with me. I should have called you before I left."
"No, you didn't have to do that." said Kryie, playing with her hair.
"Yes, I did." said Nero. "If I had called. You wouldn't have worried and you wouldn't have gotten angry when I didn't answer my phone."
When Kryie didn't say anything and continued to play with her hair. Nero added, "You know I love you, right Kryie?"
"Yeah." she said. "I love you too, Nero."
