Chapter 8 – She's back.
It had been two weeks since the
disastrous dinner incident and it was five am on a Tuesday night in
Newport Beach.
Jodie stepped out from her red Ferrari and untied
her hair.
"Hmm, apartment 11A… ok." Jodie made her way
towards the door and knocked loudly.
"I hope I'm not too
early." She muttered to herself as she waited impatiently.
Marissa
and Alex lie in bed contentedly, until Alex was disturbed by the
knock at the door.
"What the hell?" Alex squinted and got up
from the bed, Marissa murmuring and placing a hand on her lower back.
"It's ok babe, I'll get rid of them."
"Who the hell do
you think you are? Do you know what time it is?" Alex hollered,
stepping closer to the door.
Jodie laughed to herself outside.
There was the Alex she knew and loved.
Alex was utterly shocked
and surprised by who she saw at the door.
"Jodie, what the fuck
are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too." Jodie gave her a
dirty look and stepped inside.
"Uh! Did I say you could come
in?" Alex flung a hand out. "My girlfriend's sleeping in
there!" She hissed.
Marissa, who had heard all the commotion
and decided to see who was outside, came in wearing nothing but her
red robe and hair dishevelled.
"Oh it's you."
Marissa
scratched her hair and looked at Jodie.
"Oh, you're
back." She muttered.
"Yes, I am. And I take it you two are all
shacked up?"
"That's right." Alex said proudly and put an
arm round her girlfriend's waist.
"Well, Alex Kelly, I have to
say I'm surprised." Jodie shook her head.
"Why?"
"Well,
you were never the settling down type were you? More like love em and
leave em."
"Yeah, well it's all in the past. I've met the
right girl now." Alex replied, looking to Jodie then at
Marissa.
"Well, I'd love to stay, but you probably don't
want me here… I can see that. But just to let you know, I'm
staying for a while."
On hearing this, Alex and Marissa turned
to one another with the same look on their
faces.
Great.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When
Jodie had finally left, Marissa and Alex couldn't get back to
sleep.
"I can't believe she showed up here! The nerve…"
Alex was angry.
Marissa tried to comfort her.
'It's ok
babe. There's nothing she can do that will split us up. We're
stronger than that."
"Yeah, we are." Alex turned to her,
managing a smile and they clasped hands tightly.
But in her mind,
Alex knew that there wasn't anything Jodie wasn't capable of; she
knew how her mind worked and that she would do absolutely everything
she could to split them up.
Alex didn't like it one bit.
