Chapter 1
As I woke up abruptly from Darcy's loud alarm clock blinking 8:30am, cursing into a pillow to myself of a small uncomfortable guest bed about the lack of sleep I just encountered, trying my damn hardest to find and slap the now annoying clock off the marble bed counter (ahhh gotcha) as I hear the clock smash into little pieces on the floor. Lying in my guest bed for a moment robbing my eyes and letting my brain go back to the conversation I had on the phone a week ago with Jane.
Jane: You should come visit me.
Me: why?
Jane: (saying sarcastically) I don't know… maybe because where best friends Tierra.
Me: Friends don't let friends do drugs.
Jane…what?
Me: Oh… my bad… was saving that one in case I got on drugs.
Jane: chuckling… you bitch.
Me: also chuckling
Jane: but no seriously Tierra you should come visit, I haven't seen you in ages ever since I…
Me: (Finishing her sentence) since you left New York… I know.
Jane: (falling silent)
Me: Look… Jane I am kind of busy (letting my New York accent linger on the word busy).
Jane: You can't be too busy not for your bestiy (letting her accent match mind).
Me: Jane…I…Don't…kn…
Jane: (Cutting me off) It will only be for 3 weeks… just 3 weeks what could go wrong.
Me: Ok… sure… I'll come visit you, do you still live in that beat down apartment with what's her face?
Jane: Her face… her name is Darcy in yes she is still my roommate and while you're here you're going to respect her and she will do the same (in her most motherly voice).
Me: Respected… gotcha.
Jane: And yes I moved out of my little apartment into a bigger one in I also want you to meet someone special to me and…other.
Me: Special….got it.
Jane: (laughing) I am going to fax you your plane tickets Tierra…can't wait to see you.
Me: Can't wait to see you either Jane.
As my past memory faded away like smoke, irritation crawled up my neck as I hear Darcy climbing the stairs by two's stomping with her thick boots up to my room. Swinging the door open she yells. Dude you killed my clock, I buy you a new one I said. That was an antique my grandma gave me she screamed. Your grandma gives you a ten dollar fucking clock and you call it antique… classy while setting up. She screams JANE, as Jane runs up the stairs into my room a head full brown messy hair panting what wrong? Darcy sigh Jane you got to tell her to stop messing up my shit. As Jane cut her light brown eyes at me whispering Tierra I thought we talked about respecting others before you left New York that include there property saying the last word coldly .
As I cut my dark brown eyes back at her flatly saying it was in accident she gave me a smirk which stated yeah right. As I hear another pair of boots come up the stairs a man that was over 6 feet tall, cut like a skilled artiest molded his body to perfecting with wild blond hair in warm blue eyes clouded the door, he boomed: Friends there's no need to bicker he grabbed my hand sliding me off the bed easily on to my feet saying you must be famish, hurry wash in come down I made plenty! A friend of Jane is a friend of mine I am Thor what is ye name me lady? Tierra I said utterly, Thor grabbed my hand in kissed it tenderly please to meet you lady Tierra in said quickly food is getting cold as he ran down the stairs like a excited child. While Darcy walked her way down stairs rolling her eyes at me before walking out of my room. I grabbed Jane by the arm in said other? No she said while blushing…ohh special I chirped she said with a big smile special indeed. Soooooo I mutter other is down stairs Jane took her arm back her smile dying into a frown saying yes otheris down stairs hurry she chirped wash up we have so much to catch up on.
Ok… saying to myself welcome to my first week of va-cah.
