Dangerously Unusual novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

***

I sat waiting, trying not to cry again though there was a heavy lump in my throat. I had to escape. But how and to where? I needed money for that.

Fifteen minutes later, Anthonio came out of the bathroom all dressed. I was surprised to see that he'd sprayed his hair and brows blonde. He looked different! He wore a fitting black T-shirt, a black pair of jeans and some sneakers. Honestly, he was so attractive.

"I believe you're into pro makeup?" his voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Huh??"

"You heard me."

"Um, it depends. What do you want?"

He touched the back of his neck. He wanted me to hide it. The tattoo.

"Oh. Uh, give me the makeup set please."

He picked the set up and gave it to me, before sitting down on one of the chairs. I went up to him and applied my skills. By the time I was done, the tattoo was invisible. Perfectly hidden.

"A...avoid sweating or else it might melt off." I stammered.

"I won't." he took a mirror and checked his tattoo. "Perfect."

He got up to go get his bag. Not like I expected a thank you.

'PFF!'

I watched him take out a pair of glasses and wear them to complete his camouflage. He looked like a normal guy who wasn't Anthonio Caruso. He'd covered his remarkable eye color with brown eye contacts. When he was done, he turned to me.

"If you're asked who I am to you, what would you say?" he asked in his dry tone.

"Uh...my brother?"

"Don't be dumb. Do we look related?"

"Don't be rude. It's not my fault if your presence confuses me." I scoffed.

"Fine. Say I'm your friend."

"I don't think so..." I murmured, hoping he didn't hear me.

"I heard that. Keep trying me."

I gulped at his reply which was a deadly warning.

"Get the little stuff you have. The flight will be leaving soon," he added.

"W...where are we going?" I risked a question.

"Brazil."

"What??"

'Is this how stupid people are??' I thought to myself.

The highly secured airport couldn't detect the fake IDs and passports, Anthonio and I gave. They didn't even bother to perfectly verify things. I was now to be called 'Anissa Lourdes' and Anthonio 'Jerome Herons.' Those were the fake names we had.
