Mariana walked into the house to see Eliza sitting on the couch as tears streaked her skin. Her heart sank as she dropped her keys into the bowl and threw her bag to the floor. "Eliza, what happened?" she asked sitting next to her friend as she handed her a box of Kleenex that had been sitting on the table.
"It's stupid…I'm stup…" she hiccuped softly as the tears continued to stream down her cheeks.
Giving a warm smile, Mariana placed a hand on top of Eliza leg and gave it a squeeze "you know what, you don't need to tell me just yet. How about I grab some ice cream from the fridge and we'll watch some movies or something?"
Nodding, Eliza wiped the tears away as she forced herself to smile "I'd like that."
Smiling, Mariana patted her friends leg then stood up as she bounded towards the kitchen. She had done as promised, she hadn't asked what happened and when Eliza's phone went off she was quick to pick it off the table, turn it to silent and throw it on the chair beside the couch. Whoever it was calling could wait until tomorrow when Eliza was better.
They had managed to finish the small container of ice cream, and watched comedies to lighten the mood. Mariana fought to stay awake as Eliza sniffled throughout the last movie but ultimately fell asleep.
The sound of clanging pans woke her, groaning she sat up and cursed. The couch was not the most comfortable bed and her back would clearly hate her throughout the day until she soaked in the tub later that evening. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Mariana stood to walk towards the kitchen where she found Eliza baking her heart out. Buns, muffins and cookies sat on top of the table and counter, shaking her head Mariana plopped onto the bar-stool "What are you doing?" she asked bluntly.
"What does it look like?" she snorted back. Clearly she'd moved on from the saddened Eliza and was now in the angered stage.
Deciding that instead of feeding her anger anymore Mariana got off the chair, poured herself some coffee and then looked at Eliza as she pounded the dough "Well, when you're ready to talk just come find me." She said before taking a sip of her coffee.
"Will do." She grunted out a response as she punched at the dough.
Raising her eyebrows with surprise by how her little one could pack a punch she only nodded her response as she walked out of the kitchen towards the living room. She'd made a quick stop to her purse to grab her phone before she plopped back on the couch. Placing the cup onto the coffee table she checked her messages and to her surprise there were two. One from Randy and the other from Dean, smiling she opened the message from Dean first.
'How do you feel about breakfast?'
Smirking, she wrote back 'I like breakfast just fine. I've heard it's the most important meal of the day' laughing softly by her response she opened the message from Randy.
'Hope you made it safe and your friend is alright. We REALLY need to get together again.'
Mariana rolled her eyes by his response but wrote back 'She's fine, and for sure.' She liked Randy just fine, and last night was definitely one of her better nights. If Eliza hadn't called who knew what would have happened.
As she reached for her cup the phone buzzed into her lap. Expertly she reached for the cup, and opened the message as she drank. The message was from Dean.
'Oh. Ha. Ha. I guess what I mean to say was, would you like to go for breakfast? This morning, not tomorrow :P'
Smirking, he'd clearly gotten her humor. Looking up from the phone towards the kitchen she wondered if Eliza would mind. Biting her lip, she decided to ask instead of just sneak out.
"Hey Eliza." She knew better than to call her Liz at this moment.
"Yeah?" she asked not bothering to look up from the pan.
"I've been invited to go for breakfast with someone. You cool if I go?" she asked sweetly.
"That's fine. Have fun." She responded which had surprised Mariana. Normally Eliza would want Mariana to be with her throughout the whole process. Instead her friend was growing a pair and could deal with things on her own.
"Awesome, I'll text you when I'm done." She said before spinning on her heels to get ready for her breakfast date with Dean.
When she'd reached the little restaurant she noticed the familiar bike parked out front. She'd actually been surprised when she saw this as the last couple of times he'd been not so fashionably late. Smiling she gave herself on last glance, she'd decided to wear a blue V-neck sweater, jeans and flats. It seemed like the perfect breakfast outfit and her hair pulled into a high pony tail. She had only bothered to put on the slightest bit of make up with the same thought as she had with her outfit.
Nodding her approval she got out of her car, and walked towards the restaurant. Upon entering she noticed a few people occupied the seats and then as if he didn't stand out enough sat Dean at one of the booths as he played on his phone.
Smiling she walked over to him then took the seat from across the booth "Waiting long?" she asked.
Placing his phone down, he shrugged "Not really. Maybe 10 minutes. I can see why you hated waiting…God it's boring as shit." He ended with a laugh.
"You're telling me." Mariana agreed with her own laughter.
The waitress took that moment to take their order for drinks and asked if they had decided what they wanted for breakfast. Mariana had already made her decision long before she'd even stepped foot into the place so as she looked at Dean who motioned for her first she asked for pancakes with a side of fruit. Dean had opted with the bacon and eggs.
Much to her surprise the third time was easier; she'd grown too really like Dean even if he could be crude in a sort of misogynist kind of way.
"It's weird to think we just went out last night and here I am asking you for breakfast and we didn't fool around." He pointed out more to himself than to Mariana.
Nodding thoughtful she had to admit it was strange to be going to breakfast without having anything actually happen. "Yeah, it's kind of weird. But I like it." She added in hopes that her words didn't come out rude or anything of that sort.
"Me too." He agreed with a smile.
Breakfast had gone extremely well, Dean had opened up a little more about himself saying that he was an aspiring WWE wrestler like Roman and that's how he knew him. He worked at a Gym as part time and to train. He'd moved around a bit but decided to stick around here because of the free gym use. Mariana had gone to explain a little more about herself and before she knew it they had finished their food and were paying the bill.
When they stood in the parking lot with the mid sun beaming down on them Dean had done something he wished he'd done last night. Grasping onto her waist he pulled her close to crash his lips against hers. At first she was shocked, then angry but as his lips expertly moved over hers she couldn't help but reciprocate by following his motions. Unable to control her motions she cupped a hand behind his neck while the other pressed against his firm muscular chest causing her to groan ever so slightly. This was too good, she thought to herself.
Breaking the kiss, he breathed out "Want to come back to my place?" he chose his words carefully and waited for the oncoming slap. Instead Mariana nodded with closed eyes as she pressed her lips against his again. It could have been from the night before with Randy or how it had been months since she'd actually had any sort of contact with a man besides kissing, and that was only from Dean and Randy.
"Great" he growled against her lips then pulled away "Follow behind me." He said as he placed one last kiss against her lips then walked towards his bike. She stood there shocked for a moment but gained her composure as she scrambled to her car. This was going to be one hell of a day, and she was ready for the ride of her life.
I think we all know what's going to happen next.
In case you have no clue the next chapter will have SMUT! SMUT! SMUT! SMUT! EVERYBODY! SMUT SMUT SMUT!
I may have been listening to the 'Shots' song...I'm not even sorry.
