After the gala it turns out me and Pori are now the most wanted pair in New York and an arrest warrant has been passed out issuing our capture and to await trial.
Going anywhere right now was out of the question, but I was sick of being stuck at home all the time.
It was just four days into the new year and I already hated it.
So when Chino wanted to take me out for some clothes shopping of course I couldn't resist. Especially since Pori wasn't here to stop me since he was out with Trey oddly enough.
We both deserved a break. So I slipped on my mermaid wig over my dark brown hair and left with Chino to a nearby boutique.
After browsing through some clothes I found some skirts and pants that I liked.
"What do you think?These black ones?"
"Yeah those will look great on you."
"Okay!"
I eagerly picked it up off the shelf and tucked it behind my arm. I continued to browse through the row of pencil skirts, eventually noticing Chino wasn't really picking anything.
"Chino? You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. So..."
"Hmm?"
"You and Pori huh?"
I dropped a shirt I had been holding and felt my face burn up.
"Yes I guess so..."
"God you turned red. It must be true then. When I saw you guys together I was kind of jealous because I had been trying to date that guy for the longest time now and you stole his heart before I even stood a chance. You are so damn lucky. So? How was is it?"
"How was what?"
"The you know. The insertion of thine penius into the holy hole. The banana into the cream donut. The one passionate night that changes a virgin into a man. The love making. Do I honestly have to spell it? The fucking. The sex. How was it? And don't say you guys didn't. You were wearing nothing but his shirt."
"It was amazing."
"Really? And was it really his first?"
"Yeah."
"What? What's wrong?"
"We had sex but now with everything going on is that the direction we're heading now or was it just a one night stand to him?"
"Has he told you likes you? Or the other three words?"
"Yes he kind of did the first one and no for the second. But I'm more worried about how I feel about him than how he feels about me."
"Why? He likes you. You like him. There shouldn't be any denying that."
"I know. But do I want his affection for me? These last few days made me realize I do care about him a lot. I'm not really sure if I'm ready or want to be with him. Like officially."
Chino went quiet taking in my somber expression.
"Did someone hurt you to make you feel like this?"
"Yeah. My ex Brad. He's dead now but we dated for about three years when I was 15 and he was about 20."
"Paty. That's rape."
"Yes I know. And back then I really did love him and wanted to have a future with him. I left my dad to move in with my boyfriend and things were going well or so I thought. One day I returned back to the apartment, and found him having a threesome with two prostitutes on our bed."
"Oh. That bastard."
"And it broke me apart. I thought he loved me but he just saw me as a young, vulnerable girl and took advantage of her body and her heart. Ironically enough I eventually found work as a prostitute but I never really got into any serious relationships after that. Because if that's what love really is I want no part of it. I just want the sex..."
To my surprise I started sniffling and Chino hugged me and started patting my back.
"Oh Paty. It's okay hun. I understand why you feel like that now."
"Yeah. And now I actually have feelings for Pori but I'm scared. Is it going to have the same results as my last relationship or is it the real deal? Is it possible for someone like him and someone like me to be together?"
"Hey Paty. Look."
I looked at her my vision blurring up with hot tears.
"I don't have all the answers for you. I've never been in a relationship myself but I can say this. Only you can decide if he's worth having a relationship with. You have to figure out if he's worth being with and if you genuinely care about him. Because honestly a guy like Pori doesn't care about much, but when he does care about something he protects it with all his heart. And did you ever think that someone might be you?"
"No. I just. I need some time to think it over. My life had already gotten crazy and now I have this to worry about. I just need time."
"Okay. Oh look at this shirt. This one would look perfect on you. Go! Go! Go try it on! Go!"
"Hehe alright already I'm going."
I laughed a little as Chino shoved a dressy white shirt into my hands and pushed me into the dressing room. I started changing my thoughts and Chino's advice plaguing my mind.
I wonder if he really feels that way about me? And do I really like him that much? I don't know.
I wonder what's he up to with Trey.
~
I entered a bar with Trey after he told me to dress casual and dragged me out of my house. I didn't really have anything except the shirt Paty told me to buy at the shopping mall. I put the collared shirt on with black jeans.
Trey simply shrugged when he saw what I wearing and we left to this bar.
I still don't know why I came with him. We don't see eye to eye, and sometimes I can hardly stand his presence. Since I've been around Paty I haven't been myself and I'm starting to agree to more ridiculous things like this.
We sat down at the bar counter and he ordered two strong drinks of whiskey. He offered it to me and I turned it down.
"Come on ya little shit. We're celebrating."
"Celebrating what? Me getting plastered all over the news or your incompetence. No fucking thank you."
"Just shut up and take the fucking drink. Or is the lone wolf too chicken to take a small glass of whiskey because he doesn't want to embarrass himself?"
I sighed and took it from him and took a huge swig. It tastes strong and bitter and made me wince slightly in my throat.
"Whoo! Now this little fuck finally became a man!"
"What?"
Trey ignored my question and took several swigs directly from the bottle.
"Augh! That hits the spot! So you slept with Paty you little shit?"
"What of it?"
I flinched in surprise when I felt his hand slap my back very hard in a fit of laughter.
"About time!!! She's quite the looker. You are one lucky, pretentious bastard."
I twisted my shoulder to relax my aching back and grunted in annoyance.
"I mean you had to have lost your virginity at some point. At least it happened at 27."
I couldn't take his shit anymore. I stood up and punched him across the face.
"Bakayaroe!!
Asshole!!"
Everyone at the bar went quiet and some of the women shrieked when I sent Trey into a nearby table.
"OWW! What the fuck man!"
"Talk about me or Paty like that ever again! You are going to regret any other word that come out of your mouth with my fist!!"
"You wanna fight? You punch pretty fucking good shitbag! Oh you're going to regret picking one with me!!!"
He charged at me which I easily dodged by flipping over the bar counter on top of it. Everyone watching gasped in awe.
"Come down here and fight you fuckin' coward!!"
He threw punches at me while I was still up there and I dodged by doing flips. When he least expected it I kicked him right in his face where I punched him earlier.
"OWWW! YOU FUCKER!"
He grabbed me by my shirt and threw me on a nearby table. It broke as I landed on it.
Trey tried to tackle me while I was still down on the floor but I bent my legs backward and kicked him hard knocking him back to the counter.
Everyone watching either started brawling themselves or stepped back to watch us fight.
"You kick pretty good too! BUT THAT WAS A CHEAP FUCKING SHOT!!"
I got up to avoid his kick. I was faster than Trey but he was stronger so I would have to use speed if I wanted the advantage.
He punched and I blocked with my arms. He tried kicking me but I blocked with my knee and pushed him away.
But I was cocky and he punched me hard in my face.
"Augh! Pfft!"
I said as I spat out blood.
"Not so tough now huh?"
"Fuck you."
He tried punching me but I dodged by moving backwards. Then I twisted myself around and kicked but he blocked this time.
I tricked him by kicking my leg up making him push his arm away and punched him in the face.
We broke out into a brawl getting some punches in but staying pretty even. We got kicked out of the bar and luckily we didn't bump into any police afterwards.
"What are we...even celebrating?"
"You losing your virginity... I thought it was obvious."
"Bastard."
"Asswipe."
We both paused about 10 feet away from my house when Trey started laughing.
"What could possibly be funny?"
"What we did!!!Ahahahaha! What the fuck were we even doing?! Hahahaha! We both need to grow the fuck up!"
I stared at him in disbelief but started the see the humor in it. I tried holding it back and then I started laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation.
We stood there laughing at how idiotic we both behaved.
"Ahahahaha! Next time we should just grab a burger or something! Not doing whatever the fuck that was! Hahahahaha"
"Hahahahaha! Although that was some fun! Giving you a well deserved punch and a brawl! Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha! Yeah although you punch like a fucking sissy! That was fun! Hahahahaha-Augh!"
I punched him in the face as I continued to laugh and he fell to the ground in a heap.
"You shit! You still got energy after that?! I can see why you get fucking paid more!"
I helped him off the ground and he gave me a playful punch in the chest, and we headed back inside still laughing.
We found Chino and Paty laughing with a lot of shopping bags splayed at their feet.
"Fuck! You girls shopping for your little Barbie purses and makeup closet or something?"
Leave it to Trey for his misogynistic comment.
"Fuck you Trey! It's called be a woman! Nothing you'd ever understand!"
"Maybe go out with me later and you can show me what a real woman is."
Chino went silent at Trey's comment but looked to be actually considering it.
"Maybe I will."
"It's a date then."
"Also what the fuck happened to you both?! You two look like a wreck?"
"Just had a good old fashioned brawl. Everything's all good now. Nothing to worry your pretty head over."
"Men."
"So are we actually going on that date?"
"Yes. Unless you can't handle me?"
"I can sweetheart. I'm going to treat you like a fucking queen Chino."
