A/N: Nothing to say yet, but what do you think? This is kind of a filler chapter.
Chapter Three
Switching on my shower stereo and stepping into the refreshing cool water of the shower, I thought about Liam. Was it really an elaborate plan thought up by the two people in the world who despise me? I understand Tina wanting to hurt me, but Serina? I hadn't done anything to her. She hated me for no reason.
Scrubbing away the sticky sweat with my jasmine and orchid shower gel, I thought about everything that had happened today. What was going on? I hummed along to the stereo while I exfoliated. After having shaved my legs and underarms, I rinsed off and then switched off the shower. Reaching for the jasmine oil, I quickly moisturized then grabbed the towel to my left and dried off. Wrapping the towel around my body and another around my head as a towel turban, I headed towards my room. Once there, I moisturized with some sun cream and quickly dressed into some shorts and tank top. I towel dried my hair, sprayed some detangler spray into it, and brushed it.
Slipping on my flip-flops I made my way downstairs, stereo in hand. Stepping outside into the back garden, drink in one hand, stereo in the other, I slipped off my shoes and stepped onto the grass. I wriggled my toes in the warm grass and put down my stereo in the nearby shade to stop it from overheating.
"Oh crap, I forgot the blanket..." Quickly making my way indoors, I grabbed a blanket, and a cushion for good measure. Once settled outside with the blanket on the ground, cushion under my head, I closed my eyes and listened to the relaxing melody of Jason Mraz's soothing voice. The sun was warm on my face and as soon as I was about to fall asleep, my phone went off.
Groaning, I rolled over and switched off the alarm. Time to tan my back, I thought to myself. Face down in the cushion, my tank top rolled up, I closed my eyes and thought about next year. What was I going to do? Well, it all depended on my grades. Do I still wanna go with Shane? It was a great opportunity. Plus, Mo was a good guy, he didn't have to do this for us. Mo was the owner of the gym we worked at and he was thinking of opening a few more... around the world. We quickly became good friends, and you could say I owed him for giving me a job. I had no academic experience in dance, yet he was still willing to give me a shot. But did I really wanna do this for the rest of my life? What happened to specializing in child psychology and/or becoming a teacher?
My phone buzzed and I looked up, squinting in the bright light I waited for my eyes to adjust before checking it for messages.
BITCH WHERE WERE YOU!
Oh shit! I was meant to help out Shane at the studio today. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer, he should be done by now.
"Hello?"
"Shane! Oh my goodness, I am so sorry! I got distracted and completely forgot about today" I gushed
There was silence on the other end. "You know I don't like it when you call me on private. Why are you blocking your number anyway?"
"Oh... Oh! Nina."
"Nina, 'course.
"I'm so sorry, boo. Was everything alright today?"
"Hmm.. Yeah it was fine."
"Shane, please. I didn't mean it. I met this guy on my way home and-"
"WAIT. A guy? Ooooooh, tell me everything! Was it Josh?"
Seriously? Why did B tell him about that? I let out an exaggerated sigh, "Eugh, no it wasn't. It was this random guy called Liam, do you know him?"
"A random guy? You slag! I didn't know you were into that, I can set you up you know..." he snickered.
"Nah, it's alright babe, I have my own contacts. I don't need your help in that department."
I heard him gasp then, I knew that would work. "Yes, well, we all know about you and Mo..."
"Really Shane! You know nothing happened!" I could hear him giggling at the other end "He's too old for me anyway."
"So you have thought about it then" He was practically snorting with laughter on the other end of the phone. It wasn't that funny.
"No! No no no! Stop it!" I let out a frustrated groan and just waited for him to stop.
"Okay okay, sorry boo. But you left me today, so you deserve everything you get. Good. Bye."
"Sha-" He hung up. Gosh, he was so dramatic. He didn't even answer my question. I'll text him later when he's calmed down.
I walked into the house dragging the blanket behind me. The cushion was under my arm, phone in my mouth, and stereo in my other hand. The microwave clock read 16:40. Alisha should be home by now, where was she? I walked into the lounge and dropped the blanket and cushion on to the sofa then placed the stereo on the coffee table. After switching it off I got out my phone and sent her a quick text.
Oi, where are you?
That would do it. I was sticky again. Tanning was great, but I was using up a lot of water showering. I had a quick shower and changed into an old dress which was a little bit too big on me. I preferred baggy clothes in the summer, they didn't stick to you. Once I was settled on the sofa, and by settled I mean sprawled out like starfish, I switched on the TV. While waiting for Netflix to load, I looked at my phone.
At Abi's house, I told mum
Okay, staying the night?
No, be home later about 9
Okay, have fun :) love you xoxoxoxoxo
Idiot
I was just being an affectionate sister, there was no need for that.
