~ Chapter Six ~
I run as many errands as i can think of to stay out of that house. Unfortunately, this causes me to spend way more money than I can afford.
I stop at Kohl's and grab a cute new outfit. Also, a new bra and underwear set. I guess I need to make some plans to have an excuse to wear this stuff.
Being a waitress makes me pretty good money and I only have to work about 30 hours a week. I need money to save if I want to live in the dorms or an apartment when school starts in a few months.
I don't have work until Saturday night and it's only Tuesday. It's going to be a long four days…
I procrastinate as long as I can but I've run out of things to do. I'm sure Murphy is back at the house by now so at least we won't be alone.
Pulling in the driveway, I'm relieved to see Murphy's car.
I walk in the house and was just about to bring my bags to my room when Murphy yells for me downstairs. He must have heard me come in.
"Coming!" I say as I slip my shoes off and throw my stuff on the table.
"What's up?" I ask as I walk down the basement stairs.
I see Murphy and Bellamy sitting on the sectional playing video games and eating junk food.
Men…
"Bellamy told me about your conversation earlier," Murphy says without looking away from the flat screen.
What the fuck?
Bellamy turns around and grins at me.
"Yeah, I told your brother everything, I hope you don't mind."
What an asshole! I can't believe he would do that!
"Bellamy said you wanted to hang out with us tonight, He said you've been feeling lonely. You know you can tell me these things, Clarke." He says sincerely.
My body relaxes. I almost just fainted.
Bellamy is looking at my reaction and I can tell it's taking everything in him not to burst out laughing.
"Yeah Clarke, we don't want you to feel lonely or left out so we made a bunch of plans to have a fun night tonight! Just us!" Bellamy says like a little, excited school girl.
So we're playing this game, huh?
"Sounds like fun! Thanks so much!" I pat Bellamy on the head and sit in between them.
Let the fun begin.
