Sorry it took so long for this update! I've been very busy with work, vacation, and summer work. On top of that, School starts in a week. I saw in the comments that someone like the story because they relate to it. Well that's exactly why I've been writing this. Because this is my situation with my ex girlfriend, only she didn't live in London. I guess I haven't updated in a while since we broke up because well... I wasn't in the mood to write something like this. But I'm ready to write again so please! Stop listening to me and read!
Your name is Vriska Serket and you're meeting up with an old friend, Feferi Pixies. She was certainly different compared to you. What was the correct term for her... hmm... Hipster. Yes. That would do. You two used to go to college together. Well, that first year you were in college. Then the accident happened and you dropped out. You remember clearly she was learning about aquatic animals and the ocean and stuff like that. Now you were meeting at Starbucks in the city. This was actually something you were looking forward to.
"Is that the famous Feferi?" You call out as you near a young girl with long wavy black hair. The girl turned around with a bright smile. It was in fact your old friend. "Vriska!" Her arms were around you in an instant. You gladly return the hug. "What's up, buddy? How have you been?" The two of you pulled away and sat down at the table Feferi reserved for you. She already ordered your drink for you since she asked you wanted on the phone, so you eagerly began to drink the Caramel Ribbon Crunch in front of you.
"What's up?" She echoes and giggles. "Many things. Schoolwork, drama with the girls, and other little things like that. How about you?" You merely shrug. In reality nothing has really happened since you left the first year of college. "Nothing much. Just the usual."
And thats how your conversation went for an hour. It wasn't uncomfortable silences you had. No, you were quite content just sitting there with your old friend and sipping your coffee.
"So, I'm taking a trip to London for a week soon." Your thoughts had been trailing, but your head instantly snapped up when you heard the word london. "Really?" Well now Feferi had your full attention. "Yeah! You know how I'm training with sea lions and stuff like that? Well one of the aquariums that's going to open up there wants to see me and even train me a bit. They may offer me a job there!" You couldn't be happier for her. Feferi was always an aquatic animal person. When you two went to the beach she would swim out to the reefs and spend minutes underwater exploring areas she hasn't seen before. For her this must be a big deal. "There's a really cute guy who's going to train me." She muses and smirks.
"Oh? I hope he's as nice in personality as he is looks." You respond and chuckle. "So when do you leave?" "Next Saturday." She responds and sips at her Mocha Cookie Crumble. Today was Saturday. So that means this Saturday coming up? Wow, so she's leaving pretty soon. "Do me a favor and take a lot of pictures for me, okay?" The two of you giggle and soon the comfortable silence was gone. You chattered away for a couple of hours until you decide to spend the rest of the day walking around in the city.
And as soon as your fun started, it ended. Feferi had many things she had to do before leaving to London on Saturday, so you gave her your goodbye and returned home.
- grimAuxiliatrix [GA] began a chat with arachnidsGrip [AG] -
[GA] Hello Mindfang.
[GA] How Are You This Fine Day?
Looks like Kanaya wants to chat with you. Not like you had a problem with that or anything.
[AG] Im doing fine, Fussyfangs. What a8out you?
[GA] Well...
[GA] Screw This. Vriska.
[GA] I Need Help.
She needs help? Oh jeez... Kanaya never needs your help. This really must be something.
[AG] Sure what's up?
[GA] Mind If We Skype?
[AG] Depends
[AG] Will Rose 8e stealing you away from me?
[GA] Possibly.
Wait what? Okay now this really didn't make sense. You were just kidding and... did Kanaya just take you seriously? With a confused look on your face you cease the chat and log onto Skype, soon being met by Kanaya's captivating face. As scared as she looked, she was still as beautiful as ever.
"Alright, Kanaya. What's got your panties in a twist?" You couldn't help but to crack a joke when you're nervous. Kanaya on the other hand didn't like it.
"Vriska I'm serious!" She bit down on her bottom lip while gathering her thoughts together. "I... I think I messed up my relationship with Rose."
Ugh... That's the last person you want to hear from. "Rose? What about her?"
"Long story short I was trying to see if I'm actually into girls besides guys and I decided to test out my theory on Rose and she made a confession that she likes me." Kanaya continued to nervously chew at her lip while staring at anything, but the screen.
So wait. Lets back up a bit. So Kanaya is saying that... she "tested her theory" out on Rose. Why did that irk you more than Rose saying she likes Kanaya? You could feel anger coursing through your veins. You were jealous. Maybe you really did have an unspoken dibs on Kanaya.
"So she likes you?" You ask, trying to remain as calm as possible.
"Yes..." Kanaya seemed almost afraid to look at you. Jegus she was only making things awkward.
"And your point is? Isn't that good?" You really didn't see the problem. If you were in Kanaya's place, you'd be rather happy to know that your best friend likes you.
"I don't think I like her back though." Kanaya says through a sigh and pinches the bridge of her nose in frustration. "I mean, maybe I do. I don't know!"
"Well what do you want me to do?" That came off a bit more sarcastic than it should have and earned you a glare from Kanaya. Ugh, even when she was mad she was beautiful.
"Well I was hoping you have advice since you have experience in dating girls." Oh okay so now she was just using you? Wow. Nice one, Kanaya.
Your conversation continued on for another few minutes before Kanaya had to go because Rose was in fact still over her house. You were just itching to grab Rose's neck through your computer screen and try to strangle her. If she hurts Kanaya, you'll hurt her.
Your name is Kanaya Maryam and Rose is all over you. Well, the thing is, she usually isn't clingy, but... you two had a glass of wine over dinner. At least you did. Rose had more than one glass.
"C'mon, Kangaya...Kan... Kanayaya..." Rose shook her head after failing to say your name twice. You were at your computer desk and Rose has made herself at home on your lap, an arm around your neck as she held onto her cup of wine. A soft "hic" came from her, causing her to giggle.
"Come on what?" You ask quietly as you avoid her gaze. You didn't log off your chat with Vriska yet. She was watching was was taking place with a smug look on her face. She was amused. Rose, being oblivious to the punk looking girl on your screen only proceeded to place soft kisses all over your face. This was way too much for you to handle.
"I've already confessssed to you. Don't you have anyting to confess to me?" Oh dear her words were slurred.
"Well I think I can confess that I do not like you in the state you're in... You are like a whole other person..." Please Rose, just get off... This is making you uncomfortable and Vriska was still watching, trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Mhm, so? Your point is?" Rose's lips grazed yours, causing a deep blush to take over your face. You could only watch with a confused face as Vriska's eyes narrowed and the chat just ended. What the hell was that about?
"Rose, please! Now you're just acting desperate!" Well that got her to stop. Seems like Rose finally realized just what she was going and she was ashamed. "I'm... sorry..."
You could see in her lavender eyes that she was actually sorry. This was enough for tonight. You allowed her to stay over your house for the night since her parents wouldn't be too happy with her drinking.
Your name is the narrator and you honestly don't know why you've been doing this job. You find it annoying to keep saying you every three words. You just don't like it. So you decide to quit. You're done narrating this sob story. Honestly, how the hell was this going to work out for the two girls anyway? One is a depressed freak and the other is a fashionista. They are miles away from each other. What kind of love story is this? You're done.
Done.
Let these girls narrate the story themselves.
You quit.
...
...
...
...
...
..
...
...
"Okay what the hell?!" Vriska shouts as she looks around, waiting for her introduction. Wait, what's this? She's just been informed that the narrater has quit her job. Ugh. Fine. Looks like she'll do this herself.
It's been a week since Vriska last talked to Feferi. Today was the day that she leaves for London to start her aquatic job and she was very excited. Vriska couldn't blame her! Even she was happy for once!
"You have to take lots of pictures." Vriska states as she follows Feferi to the entrance of the airport. She had been nice enough to drop Feferi off since she did want to talk to her a little more before she left.
"Of course!" Feferi smiles brightly and wraps her arms around Vriska. She was such a sweet girl when you get past her violent nature.
"Now you're sure this boy is going to pick you up when you land?" Vriska's eyes narrowed as she thought about the boy Feferi kept talking about. She never got a name out of her, and now she was wondering if Feferi even knew his name or what he looked like.
"Glub! Of course! And if anything goes wrong I'll text you! Now I must go! It was great seaing you again, Vriska!"
With that said, she was gone. She disappeared into the crowd of people all shouting things at each other so they can get to their plane.
Vriska was left alone once again, but not for too long. She doesn't even have time to drive back home. She would have to go straight to work in that lousy bar... ugh.
"Hey there motherfucker. How've ya been?" Gamzee asks Vriska as she storms inside the bar. She was a half hour late for work. "Traffic. Fucking. Traffic." Vriska responds through a vicious tone of voice, already starting to take orders at the bar when she entered. Gamzee was busy mixing some drinks for a few girls in front of him who were staring at his blond hair. He gave them a playful smirk and pushed their drinks toward them before returning his attention back to Vriska.
"Really now? Well that sucks, sis."
Alright, tonight was going to be a slow night. That's perfectly fine. After finishing her few orders, Vriska turned to Gamzee with a scowl on her face. Why did he have to be so calm about everything. Really. It was starting to get on her nerves.
"You think?" She grumbles. She didn't even hesitate to poor herself a shot, downing it as soon as it was filled to the brim. The alcohol burned her throat as she swallowed the strong drink, tears forming in her eyes, but she didn't care.
The thing about Vriska is that she has terrible road rage so the ride back home set her off...
"Hey Tavbro!" Gamzee's loud voice filled Vriska's ear and she winced, almost turning around and socking him in the face.
Yeah someone really wasn't in a good mood.
"H-hey, Gam." Well Gamzee was right. Tavros rolled right up to the bar with a weak smile on his face. He seemed almost scared to be in here. It was almost like it was his first time in a bar. "Hey, Vriska."
Vriska gave Tavros a nod as a hello. "Hey, Tavros. What's up?" Tavros merely shrugged and looked at Vriska. "Nothing really. I came here to see Gamzee- not that I don't want to see you, but-" He gave up trying to correct himself. Vriska decided to be nice and cut him some slack rather than yelling at him. "Oh, and Kanaya is looking for you. She was pestering me before."
Vriska could only quirk an eyebrow. The last time she talked to Kanaya was when Rose was all over her. She found it amusing at first, but the kiss set her off the edge. Possibly jealousy? But how could she be jealous when she's only known Kanaya through the internet for about two, almost three months now? It didn't make any sense.
As she pulled out her phone to look at Kanaya's message she could her Gamzee and Tavros saying something about a date. Of course you had to stick your nose into their business now. "Wait, who has a date?"
"We do." Gamzee answers while playfully ruffling Tavros's mohawk. "Y-yeah." Tavros gave Vriska a shy smile, then looked up at Gamzee. Your best friends were hooking up.
That is so adorable.
"Well I hope you two have fun then! So I assume you're leaving your shift early, Gamzee?" Well that would seriously suck. But if you had to take over then you would.
You got your answer and it looks like you were going to be taking over. You forget to answer Kanaya.
It's the next day and Eridan is being a total wimp.
"But Kan! I'm scared!" Eridan whimpers as he hands her the Caramel Ribbon Crunch she was going to entertain herself with.
"Honestly, Ampora. You're scared of a girl?" Rose was already sipping at her iced coffee. She had a sarcastic look on her face though you could see past it. She was hurting from all the alcohol she drank the night prior.
"Yes, Lalonde. I am." Eridan shot Rose a glare as he ran a hand through his hipster hair. Eridan was currently nervous over the job he had just acquired by his father Cronus. His family always had a love for Aquatic animals and now Eridan was working at the Aquarium that was going to open up. The only thing he was worried about was training some newbie who was flying in from the U.S.A. Ugh... She comes from New York too. She was probably a snob.
"Here." Rose scribbles something down on a piece of paper, handing it to Eridan and sitting back in her seat, waiting for him to read it.
"Alright do you mind explaining me a thing?" Eridan snaps as he slams the piece of paper down in front of her. The loud slam caused a few customers of the coffee shop to glance over their shoulder at him.
"Obviously someone's grammar is in need of assistance. What can I explain to you today?" Even with a hangover Rose was as sarcastic as ever. Kanaya found herself blushing over her witty comebacks and had to look away, though she was in no danger of Rose or Eridan seeing her blush since they were caught up in their own argument.
"First of all, wwhat the fuck is this?" The piece of paper Rose wrote on said grow a pair on it. No wonder why he was mad.
"Clearly you are incapable of realizing what the note stated since you threw it down on the table with a perplexed look on your face which can only mean that you truly don't understand first grade words. It says "grow a pair."" Rose counters, her black lips curling up into an amused smile. That verbiage. It was heart melting...
"Ugh... you're getting a great deal of enjoyment by mocking me, aren't you?" Eridan questions as he rips up the small note and glances over his shoulders. Customers were just waiting for him to get back to the counter to take their orders? Only a half hour more of his shift and he'd have to go pick up this New York girl.
"You know, you're actually quite handsome when you're annoyed..." Rose muses and stares up at him with a flirty look on her face. She knew just what to say to shut him up.
"I... I... uh..." Eridan just growled and returned to the counter.
"Kanaya? Are you alright?" Rose's attention returned to Kanaya who's blush had not yet faded.
"Oh? Quite alright... Just thinking." A small smile played on Kanaya's jade green lips.
"Well, whatever it is, it must be something because it's causing you to blush and you look devastatingly beautiful like this..." Kanaya's blush only worsened at Rose's words. She had no problem with flirting with her out in public. She was practically setting up a trap for Kanaya to fall into.
"Well maybe you're pretty captivating yourself..." Kanaya counters and leans forward. Lalonde wasn't the only one who was good at this game.
"Well maybe I wouldn't object to hearing that more often from you..." Rose still kept up her little game, her lavender eyes meeting Kanaya's green ones.
"Well maybe I'll take you out on a date tonight so you could..." Kanaya didn't even have time to realize what she had said. She had fallen into Rose's trap. There was no getting out of it now. "I mean-"
"As if I'd protest to that." Rose says as she rests her head on her hand while sipping at her iced coffee once more.
"Well... I... Uh..." Kanaya for once found herself lost of words.
"You can pick me up tonight. You know my schedule. I'm free after seven."
"Alright then, I'll be there."
How were you falling into her trap? Better yet, how did this just turn into a flirt game between the two of you? Just moments ago her and Eridan were arguing about growing a pair!
"Fine." Rose answers and sets her empty drink down, a smirk on her face.
"Good."
"It's a date then."
"Alright then."
"Alright. I'm glad we had this talk."
The prey has been captured by the predator.
Eridan on the other hand has returned to your table, his apron off since he was no longer on his shift and was watching Rose and Kanaya with disturbed eyes. Neither of them seemed to notice that he was standing there.
"I'll go freshen up then." Kanaya states, though when does she never freshen up.
"Kanaya, do be on time. I know you're fairly good with it, but I'd hate to be kept waiting." Rose leaned forward a little bit and soon their faces were only inches away from each other.
"Maybe I'll show up early then."
"Maybe I'll cook a lovely dinner for us to converse over."
Kanaya found herself leaning in again. She had to win this little talk with Rose.
"Maybe I'll make reservations at the restaurant uptown so you don't have to."
"Maybe I'll just vvomit at how disgusting this talk is!" Eridan counters and ends the conversation. "Now ladies, are you coming with me or not?"
"To pick up this girl you need to work with?" Rose quirks an eyebrow at Eridan who nods. In return she grabs her empty cup and stands up. "I can't. I have a date at seven." And with that said she was gone. Eridan glanced down at Kanaya, expecting an answer from her. Kanaya gave him a sheepish grin while standing up, and taking her Caramel Ribbon Crunch with her. "As she said. I have a date to get ready for."
Wait, Kanaya. I thought you told Vriska you didn't like Rose that way? Oh well.
Eridan paced back and forth as he waited for the flight from New York to arrive. Who was he even looking for? The only thing he had was a sign with this girl's name on it. He was goring to probably get some kind of girl who was just average looking... ugh.
When the plane did land he waited to find this... Feferi girl. So many women passed by him and yet none seemed to be looking for someone with a sign. He was about to give up when the plane showed no signs of letting anyone off when a "Oh, Glub! I'm sorry!" Stopped him in his tracks. "Sir, I have a question!" Ugh, who needed him? He was already mad enough that this Feferi girl stood him up. "Wwhat do you wwant?" Eridan mutters as he turns around.
Before him stood a beautiful young girl with long black hair, captivating blue eyes and adorable freckles dusting her nose and cheeks. She had two suitcases behind her and seemed completely lost. Though the thing that struck him the most was her accent.
"I was hoping you've seen a man holding a sign that says Feferi Peixes on it?" Her innocent eyes proved she didn't know what she was doing. After pushing up his glasses mostly to hide his blush, Eridan gave her a nods. "Yes, Yes I have. You're Feferi? I'm Eridan Ampora, the man you're looking for." To prove he wasn't a creeper who was lying he held up the sign with her name on it.
Feferi's smile brightened as she saw that Eridan was the boy she was looking for. "Oh, thank you, Eridan! It's great to meet you!" She didn't even give him a warning before dropping one of her bags and shaking his hand. Eridan's blush in response worsened as he shook her hand. "You too. Please, alloww me to take your bags. I'll lead you to the car."
And that's just what he did. He took her bags and led her to his car and soon enough they were on the road. "My dad doesn't expect you to start work until tomorrow and it's only six o'clock so if you wwant me to showw you around..."
Feferi couldn't help, but giggle at Eridan's stutter. She found is so adorable that he stuttered at his w's and v's. "Oh? Of course! That would be lovely!"
This was going to be a lot of fun!
Kanaya paced back and forth after trying on her third dress. This was it. This was the dress. Okay, there's no need to act so nervous, Kanaya! It's only a date!
With your best friend.
With Rose.
You already made the dinner plans and were of course going to leave early so you don't have to make Rose wait. Her house was only three doors down and yet you were still a half hour early. She was ready for you though. She was in a stunning lavender dress that complimented her eyes. She knew your weak spot was fashion. Well played, Rose. Well played.
"Wow, Rose... You look... amazing." Kanaya murmurs.
"Of course I do." Rose answers as she steps outside, a small smile playing on her lips. She leaned forward and gently pressed them against Kanaya's cheek, causing Kanaya to furiously blush once again. "Well are we ready for dinner?"
Her way of speaking was so... different. Like she knew what she was doing to Kanaya and was teasing her. Kanaya could barely find any words to say so she just nods and leads Rose to the car. The drive to the restaurant was quiet and relaxing.
When they sat down they were even more relaxed. Their talk was simply yet flirty. Rose was beyond confident with Kanaya though. Clearly she was a dominate girl, and had no problem with her foot brushing up against Kanaya's leg under the table. Their conversation and Rose's looks above the table were casual though. Clearly this wasn't her first time doing this, even if it was for Kanaya.
Their little game from before had continued.
"Maybe I'll give you a kiss goodnight..." Come on, Kanaya. You can't let Rose win. She needs to learn never to start something she can't finish.
"Maybe I'll kiss you back and invite you inside for a cup of coffee..." The two of them began to smile at each other. Yeah, a cup of coffee certainly sounded nice.
As their dinner continued Kanaya could feel her phone vibrating. Rose had no problem with her checking the message in case it was something important, but it was only Vriska. Her message wasn't important.
Dessert came and Rose's foot never ceased to play around with Kanaya's. Their posture above the table was casual, though they were both giggling like little fools. Underneath the table their feet were wrestling, trying to be the more dominate foot.
Dinner was paid and on the drive back home was filled with some kin of tension. Mostly because Rose was causing it. Her lips were all over Kanaya's neck on the drive back to her house. The sad thing was that Rose knew that was Kanaya's weak spot from past talk about ex boyfriends. Kanaya practically melted in her seat.
Maybe coffee wasn't such a nice idea anymore...
I'm sorry this chapter was so... 8luh. I was too lazy when writing it because nothing big was happening, so i just didn't want to write it. Eridan and Feferi meeting was supposed to happen in the next chapter, but each chapter must have at least (5,000) for me, so I put it in this chapter. Even this chapter didn't reach (4,500)
I'm so sorry.
Reviews and stuff like that is encouraging which is why i had put off this chapter for so long because i feel like not a lot of people are waiting on it.
