Lol, so yeah heres the fourth chapter like I promised XD
Once again for the disclaimer, I do NOT own Transformers Prime, but I do own the plot and the few characters I have made for it.
She had woken up late that day. It was now almost ten in the morning and she still wasn't dressed. Monica jumped out of bed, not bothering to change. She rubbed her eyes as she walked over to the kitchen part of her studio. She grabbed the blender from its cabinet, plugging it in and setting it on the counter. She had decided a smoothie sounded good for breakfast. She grabbed an assorted bag of berries from the freezer, dumping some into the blender before taking the orange juice from the fridge and pouring in half a cup.
She then took two slices of bread and popped them in the toaster, before returning to the blender. She set it the smoothie setting and then hit the button, a loud buzzing filling the small apartment. Lacey trotted in wagging her tail. Monica glanced over her shoulder at the dog.
"Hey girl." She greeted the dog.
She then released the button from her hold, taking a cup from the cabinet and pouring in the mixture. Only a few seconds afterwards her toast popped out and she buttered it before sitting down at the table. She pondered on what to do that evening as she ate. Being that her truck was damaged she had no way of transportation. Other then her bicycle, but it would take to long to try and run into town on it. She sighed, figuring she'd check out her truck and make sure everything inside was still intact and afterwards she'd work on her mustang. After eating she pulled her overalls over her pajamas, stuffing her gloves into its pocket before pulling on her boots.
She tied her hair back into a new bun, being that it had came undone last night as she slept. She walked into the garage and stood in front of her truck. She took hold of the hood and attempted to pop it open, but it appeared to be stuck. She examined it further, before trying once more, this time with all her strength. A loud screeching sound was heard before she finally managed to get it loose and pushed the hood up, holding it above her head. The engine seemed to be okay from what she could tell, all the tubes and pipes intact. She let out a sigh of relief before gently setting the hood back down.
She then began her work on her mustang. Hours later she decided she'd finish the reset tomorrow. She held back the squeal of excitement that tried to escape, biting her tongue, a huge grin plastered to her face. Suddenly the phone from her living area rang. She kicked off her boots and ran into the other room, grabbing the phone off its charger.
"Hello?" She questioned.
"Hey Monica! This is Maire!"
"Oh, hey, whats up?"
"I was wondering if you'd wanna hang out today. About an hour away from town is a resort that I recently joined, and I'm allowed to bring a friend as a guest!"
"Wow, really? Ahh okay, sure why not? I don't got much else to do around here." Monica glanced at the clock noticing it was two.
"Haha, okay awesome! I'll pick you up, okay?"
"yeah, sure"
"Okay, see ya soon!"
"Mhmm, bye" "Bye!" Monica placed the phone back in the charger.
She pulled off her overalls before walking into the bathroom and washing her face and letting down her hair. Her hair was thick, dark, and wavy, reaching about mid back. She brushed through it a bit before she decided it looked okay and left the bathroom, walking over to her dresser. She searched through the drawers a bit before pulling out a pair of denim shorts. Spots of bleach were splattered on it, making it look like paint or possibly even camouflage. They were rather tight, yet she found them comfortable despite preferring baggier clothes. Next she grabbed a neon green plaid button up shirt.
Being that it was a resort she figured there would be a pool, and since it was rather hot out today she thought a swim sounded nice. Besides Maire would probably want to go swimming also. She took her bikini from her top drawer. It was black with neon pink and green stripes, a fox emblem on one side. She decided to take a quick shower even though she had taken one the night before. Afterwards she put on her bikini and then the clothes afterwards, tying the shirt midway up so a bit of her stomach showed. Just then she heard a car pull in.
She grabbed her phone, before patting Lacey on the head and running out the door.
"Whoa, your already ready?" Maire asked, rather surprised as she glanced out the window of her Subaru.
"Yeah"
"Your wearing a swimsuit right?"
"Mhmm"
"okay, awesome! Come on lets go!" Monica smiled at her friend as she got into the passenger seat.
Maire drove out of the driveway and sped down the highway. Monica remained silent, peering out the front window and glancing at the red head who appeared to be enjoying herself. She had received the car as a gift from Derek, for their anniversary. It was a rather expensive gift, but Derek had a rather good job and was capable of pulling off such a thing. Maire had instantly loved the car, with its platinum paint and had even went as far as naming it Chase. Glancing at the speedometer Monica noticed her friend was speeding, but since they were in the middle of nowhere she didn't bother correcting her. They chatted a bit before finally arriving at the resort.
It was rather large and fancy, there were even some trees planted around it. They walked in, flip flops slapping against the tiled floor. Maire flashed the lady at the desk her card, and the lady nodded in greeting. Monica glanced around as they made their way through the building. It was gorgeous nonetheless. Maire led them through a cafe and then to the sliding glass door that went out to the outdoor pool. Maire pranced outside happily, waving at several people.
The pool was huge, having three diving boards, two small ones and then the high dive. There were several inner tubes in the pool and some lounging chairs sat around the outside of the pool. Maire took off her clothes, and jumped into the water with a happy yelp. She sported a lime green bikini with white polka dots. Monica only noticed then there were a few people around, probably ten or twelve, she didn't bother counting. She watched as Maire swam around, before turning over on her back and swimming backwards.
"Come on Monica! That waters great!" Monica laughed lightly at her friends enthusiasm.
She took off her shirt and then her shorts and flip flops before slipping into the water. Maire climbed onto one of the floating lounge beds before bumping an inner tube over to Monica. She dove under it and popped back up in the center before lifting herself out of the water and sitting in it.
"So about the clubbing.." Maire started, hesitance in her voice.
Monica sighed lightly, rolling her head back and looking at the sky.
"..Yeah?" She asked.
"So, theres three guys.. Lance, Jacob, and Allen.. I've already talked to them, they said they'd gladly be your date."
"Hmm.." Monica hummed, acknowledging she had heard her friend.
"Describe them to me.." Monica said.
"Well, Lance is Scottish with brown hair-"
"I meant their personality.." Monica said, feeling a bit stupid for not being more specific.
"Oh, right! Well Lance is an athletic guy, very cool and collected. Hes a professor at a college, and you'll just always feel really comfortable around him. And then Jacob, well he knows how to have fun and is a great dancer, not to mention he's really funny, he works at the grocery store, he doesn't really like to work hard." Maire said, laughing sheepishly.
Monica poked herself in the face, unconsciously noting that she was uninterested.
"Then, theres Allen.. Hes kind of shy and geeky, but hes really nice and tolerant, kind of clumsy but that doesn't matter, right?" Maire questioned, getting the feeling she was loosing Monica.
The Spanish woman shook her head, showing that she actually was still paying attention and that clumsiness didn't really matter to her.
"Whats Allen look like?" She questioned.
"Hmm, well hes blond, fair skinned, and really tall, he wears glasses also. He dresses okay, and has beautiful blue eyes.." Maire waited, hoping her friend would be interested in one of the men.
After several minutes of tension filled silence Monica spoke up.
"Allen sounds nice.." She stated.
"Okay, you want to go with him?" Maire asked hopefully.
"Sure, why not.." Monica said, shrugging nonchalantly.
"Awesome, I'll make sure to call him! When would be a good time for you?"
"Hmm, probably next week.."
"Okay, maybe Monday? Derek has that day off and I'm pretty sure Allen does as well.."
"Sure, that sounds good.."
"Awesome!" Maire squealed, rolling off her floaty.
Monica raised her head and smiled at her friend. She then leaned forward and dove under the water. She glanced around before spotting the red head's ankle, then grabbing it. She heard a scream, and then came back up. Maire was now laughing and Monica joined in. She then noticed a tall man at the edge of the pool eying them. Monica lowered herself into the water, her eyes peeking just above the top. Maire looked at her funny.
Monica then raised her head out of the water so her mouth was exposed. She pointed in the direction of the guy and spoke quietly.
"That guys looking our way." Maire glanced over her shoulder and saw the man, who then waved at them.
"Oh! Thats my cousin, Eric! Hey Eric!" She waved wildly at him, and he smiled in response before walking over.
His hair was black, short and curly, he was fair skinned like Maire. He had stubble and dark brown eyes.
"Hey Maire. Is this your friend?" He motioned towards Monica, who lowered back into the water a bit more.
"Yeah, this is Monica!"
"Hello Monica." His voice was smooth and a faint Irish accent was noticeable.
Monica rose her chin above the water before waving faintly.
"Hi." She said, a smile playing on her lips, neither noticed it was a forced one.
His face was chiseled nicely, reminding her a bit too much of someone she would have much rather forgotten.
"So, what are you ladies talking about?" Eric asked as he sat down, dangling his legs in the water.
"Oh, well Monica's going to come clubbing with me and Derek this coming Monday! So I was telling her about some guys who wouldn't mind going out with her for a night."
"Oh, I see. Wheres Derek? Is he working?"
"Yeah, you know him. Always working hard, hes so awesome. He should be every woman's ideal man." Maire said with a laugh.
Monica smiled at this. True, Derek was seemingly perfect, too bad there weren't more men like him. He was a hard worker, but always enjoyed a bit of fun, very supportive and friendly, and also rather handsome. Eric then slid into the pool and only then did she realize that he wasn't as tall as he had looked. She was nearly up to his nose, probably making him around five nine. Looking at his chest and biceps she figured he must lift weights. She stepped back a bit, even though she was a good several feet away form him already. He didn't seem to notice though.
"Would you girls like to come and get a soda with me?" He asked, looking at the two of them.
Maire looked at Monica, who nodded.
"Yeah, sure, that'd be great!" Maire said.
The three climbed out of the pool, Monica quickly drying herself off before pulling on her shorts. She felt uncomfortable with so much of her legs showing, not that her shorts did much. They then went inside, Eric buying a coke, Maire a sunkist orange soda, and Monica a root beer. They sat at a small table, near the large glass windows that looked out on the pool. Eric and Maire chatted for quite some time, Monica slowly drifting back into her own thoughts. Often she became the third wheel, mostly because she didn't know what to talk about other then cars and not many wanted to hear about that. Most would ask her about her herself, but she always got nervous when that topic came up.
Most people loved talking about themselves, but many found her uninteresting which caused her to hesitate or change subjects.
"Monica, how long have you lived here?" Eric's voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Oh, about seven years now.." she said tracing the circle pattern on the table.
The two then returned to their talking. After what seemed like an hour they finally decided it was time to leave. Monica was relieved, she had been getting rather bored. They got into the Subaru and headed back to her place. Maire came in for a bit, just to chat a little more and say hi to Lacey before she left. Monica sat on the couch and flipped through the channels looking for something interesting, but was suddenly interrupted as the phone rang. She stood and took its from its spot on the holder, which was attached to the wall.
"Hello?" She asked.
No reply. She glanced at the number, but it simply said unknown. She lifted it back to her ear.
"Hey, if this is a prank call its not funny.." She said, her voice serious.
"Hmm, sorry to hear that." Monica remained silent, as she thought of who it might be.
Suddenly it hit her. Knockout..
