Ace In The Hole
AN: Don't own anything, just taking my turn at playing. This idea kinda just popped in my head last night, so here it is.
It was 5:30 in the morning and Lil had finally gotten in bed. It had been an interesting night at the bar; in fact every night had been almost horrible since Jersey had left. Lying in the back bedroom of her apartment, chosen because it was the farthest from the busy sounds of the city streets, she stared at the ceiling. The beginnings of the sunrise seeping through the windows laying a bought of light across her white tank and black basketball shorts. Finally drifting into a much needed sleep she heard a key enter the lock of her front door, not budging she waited to see who it was. Knowing that if she heard someone raising hell Rachel had gotten drunk and couldn't go home, but there was no yelling or cursing so it had to be her.
Suddenly a shadowed figure appeared in the doorway to her bedroom. "Hey Lil, it's me Vi- Jersey." Lil had to wet her lips before she could speak. "Hey Jersey, what brings you here, and by here I mean my apartment at not even six in the morning?" The younger blonde couldn't even speak she just broke out in subtle sobs, motioning to her bed Lil gave an unspoken invitation. "What's going on Jersey, you can't show up here in the middle of the night bawling your eyes out and not tell me what's wrong." "Everything, nothing's went right since I left the bar, sure I'm selling songs but I don't feel complete. Not to mention Kevin left me, which really didn't make me sad it just left me lonely. Lil I just want to forget, can you please help me forget everything."
Lil sat there for a minute just rubbing Jersey's shoulders, before she got the nerve to speak. "You obviously don't want to drink to forget, or you would have used your key to the bar. So Violet how is it you want me to help you forget." As the older blonde finished speaking the younger one pressed her lips to hers. "Finished what I started and don't ever call me Violet." Smiling Lil took that as all the initiative she needed, leaning down over the younger woman Lil said the word she had longed to say forever. "This will be one night you will never want to forget, Jersey."
Waking in the morning Lil found herself alone, the other side of the bed cold. Walking into the kitchen she found a fresh pot of coffee and a note beside the coffee pot. Walking into the living room she noticed her white button up from the night before was missing.
What did the note say? Will Lil see her shirt again, or did Jersey take it as a way to remember what made her forget? Why the title Ace In The Hole? Review and we shall find out. BTW I have learned I prefer short chapters, helps keep the reader interested.
