Chapter 15
Sariah woke up the next morning to the smell of fresh coffee. She smiled, wrapped the sheet around herself and wandered out into the kitchen.
'Good morning' mark smiled
'Breakfast?' he asked
'Just coffee will do, I have to get to work.' She smiled to herself at the thought of Dom and Conner wondering where she was.
'I see, here you go.' Mark said sheepishly
'I really enjoyed myself last night' Sariah said gulping down her coffee trying not to burn her throat.
'But you don't want to take it any further?' Mark sat down next to her.
'Yeah' Sariah said chewing her lip.
'That's fine, I'm glad you didn't just run out this morning, you had the guts to tell me it was a one night stand' he smiled
'I'm sorry, i'm just not ready for anything heavy at the moment.' She walked over to the sink and swilled her cup out
'Don't worry!' he laughed
After she had said her goodbyes to mark, Sariah caught a cab back to the house. She needed to have a shower and get changed before going to work. Besides she was her own boss, she could just work late.
As she paid the taxi driver, she noticed that only Mia's car was there. At least she wasn't going to get an earful from anyone.
'Morning Mia.' She yelled as she slammed the door shut behind her
'Where'd you get to last night?' Mia came walking down the stairs with a huge pile of dirty washing in her arms
'Want a hand?' she said following Mia and picking up items that she had dropped.
'No where interesting' Sariah grinned to herself
'If it wasn't that interesting, then why have you got a huge cheesy grin on your face.' Mia said suspiciously
'I went out for a few drinks with Lucy and the girls.' Sariah said trying too look innocent
'After that? Don't give me any shit about staying at Lucy's, she phoned here this morning, to ask if you were home yet and Dom answered' Mia quizzed
'Really, what did he say?' Sariah piped up.
' Never mind what he said.' Mia said, playfully slapping her arm
'Ok I met a guy and we went back to his for a few drinks and then, well, I'll let you use your imagination my dear sister whilst I go and have a shower and get ready for work' she went upstairs to have a shower
'No you can't do that, I want details' Mia shouted chasing after her.
'What like? How many times how good it was which positions. I'd be here all day.' Sariah laughed and poked out her tongue
'No who were you with? Are you seeing him again?' Mia followed Sariah into the bathroom
'Look Mia it was just a one night stand, his name was mark and it meant nothing to me and no i'm not seeing him again, I just wanted a bit of fun.' Sariah gave a cheeky smile and locked the bathroom door.
Mia walked back into the kitchen, she was shocked, and she didn't think her sister was like that.
Half hour later Sariah came back into the kitchen, she was ready for work. Mia was sat at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee.
'Right I'm off sis, see u later.' Sariah turned to leave the kitchen
'What are you trying to prove?' Mia spat
'Excuse me?' Sariah said stopping dead in her tracks.
'I'm not trying to prove anything, I'm just having a little fun whilst i'm young'
'You don't have to act like a slag to have fun'
Sariah leant on the kitchen table and lowered her face level with Mia's
'Who the fuck do you think you are calling me a slag' she shouted
Mia jumped in her seat and stood up.
The two women were the same height and the same build; they both had fire in their eyes.
'Mia I'm not 16 any more, I thought we'd sorted all that out when I came back, obviously not, if Dom can trust me and not treat me like a baby anymore then why the hell can't you.' Sariah was almost shaking
***************************************************FLASH BACK*********************************************************
'You always take his side or he takes yours it's the same old story, so lets not ask him when he gets home' Sariah shouted
She had just come home from school, she had played hockey and was exhausted all she wanted to do was have a shower and relax. But Mia had started ordering her about as soon as she got back.
'What's the matter haven't either of you got a minds of your own.' Sariah laughed to her self
'Dom's right you are turning into a nasty little bitch.' Mia shouted.
'Yeah whatever!' Sairah went to go upstairs but at that exact moment Dom stepped through the door
'Oh great' Sariah said to herself and turned back around.
'I can hear you two shouting from outside!'
Sariah slumped down on the sofa and huffed.
Mia came striding into the room.
'Sairah thinks we can't make our own decisions, that we always take the others side' Mia said with a "I told you so grin on her face"
She hated it when Mia belittled her in front of Dom.
***********************************************END FLASH BACK**********************************************************
'Run and tell Dom, I don't care Mia, its what I'm used to' Sariah spun round and walked out of the house letting the door slam behind her. 'Take the out of my fucking pocket money you stupid bitch' Sariah growled to herself.
