Dylan and I are sitting on the couch when Nico and Will walk in. Or I guess push each other in. While furiously making out. I look over and see Dylan bright red, and I laugh. He just glares at me and starts to whisper, "Do they even know we're here?"
I nod, and shout to Nico, "We need milk!"
He pulls away from Will and turns to me, "we need more Cheerios too," he gasps, out of breath.
I grin at him and he resumes his activities. Dylan turns to me, still really red. Will and Nico have finally made it to his bedroom and as they enter I shout, "No sex while Dylan is here!"
"Dylan please leave!" Nico yells back.
I smirk and Dylan looks like he is about to have a heart attack. I look at the clock, and scramble to get up as I realize how late it has gotten.
"You can stay of you want, but I have to go. My shift starts in 30 minutes," I say, rushing to get ready.
He nods and stands, and I walk him to the door and he kisses me goodbye. That's when I first notice it I guess. I don't feel the same spark. I blame it on how rushed we are. He leaves and in a few minutes, I follow him, running to my shift at the book store across the street. It's not my job of choice, but it pays well and is close.
I tie the apron around my waist and start at restocking books. I have gotten through two boxes when I hear the voice behind me.
"Excuse me, do you know where you keep copies of the Mortal Instruments?"
I stand and see possibly the most attractive girl I have ever seen. My eyes widen and I stare dumbfounded. She is a about my height with black choppy hair. She's decked out in all black and looks terrifying. And hot. But I would never say that out loud, well, I might tell Nico later.
"Yeah, um, aisle, uh, six I think?" I manage out.
She smiles at me and walks away but doesn't take the feeling away. The same feeling I used to feel around Dylan multiplied by ten. I basically float through the rest of my shift. And by the time it ends she still hasn't left my mind. I close the apartment door and Nico looks up from the kitchen table. And I smile at him.
"I went to the grocery store," he states.
"With sex hair?" I joke.
He pouts, "it's not that obvious is it?"
"Nah, it's the after sex glow that gives it away, and your backwards shirt," I sigh, checking for goldfish.
I hear Nico messing around behind me and I know he's fixing his shirt. I pull out the goldfish out and pour some in a bowl.
I grab the bowl and walk to the couch, sitting down.
"I have a friend coming over," Nico says.
"Is it Will? Would he not have just left?" I ask.
"No, her name is Thalia. I've known her for a long time," he tells me.
"Speaking of girls, I have an issue. I'm happy with Dylan, but today there was this girl at the book store," I start but am cut off with doorbell.
Nico goes to get it and I continue to talk.
"Anyway, she was there and holy crap she was hot. And she was," I freeze, staring at the open door, "you."
The girl from the book stairs is leaning against our door frame smirking. Nico is laughing and shaking his head. I feel my face burn from embarrassment.
"So I'm hot?"
