Hey guys! Thanks for the R+Rs! So i have 6 weeks off, and clearly i have too much time on my hands, apparently watching daytime tele and tumblring only take a small portion from my day. So i have written another chapter. Cant work out if i like this chapter yet. But i needed a bit of a filler to set it up for the next chapter.
I had a dream about them last night to. I think i need to get out more. Anyways! R+R and hope you enjoy it enough to wanna read more! Cheers and BYYYEE x
The whole night, Sophie's dreams were filled with that of Sian. No matter how natural it felt to have these feelings she wasnt used to them in the slightest. But they were too good for her to question, even in the cold light of a new day, where wine wasnt a catalysis or an excuse. She woke with the exact same feelings she went to bed with.
Her guilt only set in with the thoughts of hurting Matt, the guilt however, lightened when she saw a note next to her on his pillow. It simply wrote, ''Gone to to Danny's – having a boys night to, so ill be home late, don't wait up''.
It wasn't that she was particularly bothered about him going out for the day, its the general routine of him doing this every Saturday. Going out early then coming home at around 11pm, with Danny and a few other guys in toe. Staying up, playing cards till the earlier morn, and then all just falling asleep downstairs. It made her feel so lonely, and highlighted to her every week how she didn't really have anyone to do that with.
She sighed heavily and turned around, now facing the clock on the bedside table. It was 10am. Her day was already set out for her, she didnt even have to think about it. She'd get up, have a shower, watch saturday kitchen , clean the house and do the washing, watch whatever old film was on tele and then have dinner, retire upstairs before Matt and his mates come falling in the house.
''Great'' she whispered to herself.
Just as she was about to get up, she clicked on her phone. 1 new message, she opened the message.
''Morning Soph couldnt stop thinking about you last night. Hope your ok this morning? Xx''
The butterflys had come back. It was the last thing she had expected to see this morning. She text back immediately. She thought to herself how much she loved Sian calling her 'Soph', and how that one small message made her feel so good.
''Hey! I'd be lying if I said I hadnt been thinking about you either. You can say no but Matts out all day, wanna go shopping or something? X''
She closed her eyes and sent it. It was so not like Sophie to be so forward. But she had to see her again. She wanted to talk to her. Spend time with her.
Within a few minutes her phone was buzzing.
''Or something! I hate Saturday shopping =) If you wanted you could come round to mine. We could make a day of it? Xx''
She swallowed hard. She didnt even have to think about it, it was obvious. A whole day in Sians company, what more could she have asked. She did however wonder if she was reading to much into it. She felt guilt, of course she did. Even though Sophie's and Matts relationship wasnt the hottest, or the most amazing he still has been the only one in her life for ages now – apart from her family. But there was almost nothing that could keep her apart from wanting to explore whatever this thing there was between herself and Sian.
She went back and read the texts from the previous nights. As much as she tried to fool herself that it was 'nothing, just the drink- Sian is probably just naturally flirty', she new deep down that it was all genuine and as much trouble she might get in, some how it would be worth it.
She paused for a few seconds to gather her thoughts.
''Sounds good, when do you want me x'' sending
''Shit.. noo nooo cancel' she clicked continusly on cancel. SENT. She was trying to be casual and flirty but as she read it back it made her feel to...clumsy and forward. Sian just seemed to have that calm flirty swag down, and it made Sophie seem so...uncool.
''Erm come round whenever – address is 17 Summer Close..that is what you meant right ;) xx''
Sophie rolled her eyes at herself, 'well done retard' she said in her head.
''Cool I know where that is, il be about an hour x''
She threw her phone on the bed, shrugged off her embarrassing text and bounced off into the bathroom. She had a nice hot shower- another layer of thick snow had fallen throughout the night, the hot water on her cold skin felt so good, she just stood there for about 5 minutes, not doing anything, just enjoying the heat. After a while she reached down and grabbed her razor . She began to shave her legs..and well... everything else. She lathered her hair in shampoo and her body in her coco butter body scrub. When she was done, she got out the shower. It felt like she was getting ready for a date. She new she wasnt but that feeling alone made her so excited.
She brushed, dried and straightened her hair. Brushed her teeth, and got dressed. It was cold outside, freezing even. So she grabbed her scarf and gloves – leaving her hat behind because she new it would give her terrible hat hair.
Sians house was within walking distance, so she set off. She grabbed her ipod on the way out and started to flick through her music. As she started to flick through she noticed a couple of Rihanna songs she had on there. Remembering that Rosie put them on there when she was living with her, in a bid to make Sophie more...mainstream. She always skipped the songs. But on this occasion she smiled t herself, pressed play and carried on walking.
As she arrived on Sians street, she quickly checked the house number and made her way through the street, she finally found it and confidently walked up to the door. As she was about to knock, the door opened with Sian on the other side!
'Hi'' Sophie started.
''I thought you said an hour'' Sian joked a she pushed her watch into Sophies face..
''Im only ten minutes late'' Sophie smiled back.
As she stepped through the door, Sian opened her arms, as if to invite Sophie into a hug.
Sophie stood still, again feeling like a complete loser, but unable to proceed into a hug that she hadnt prepared for.
Not sensing the awkwardness Sophie was experiencing Sian carried on and hugged her regardless and kissed her on the cheek.
Sophie had no idea what to do, or say.
''Hi'', she blurted out, then cursing herself in her own head. 'well done, you've already said that...dick''
Sian laughed, it was little things like this that she thought were really sweet from Sophie.
She lead her into the front room, Sophie kicked her snowy shoes off.
They quickly got over the first potential awkwardness and they continued to talk, just as they did the evening before.
Sian made them both some lunch and they sat down.
A few hours passed. The were still in full conversation.
''I work for my Dad at his garage – im basically his , she cleared her throat, ''Admin manager'. Basically his receptionist! But I like working for him, what about you?''
''I bet you can pull sickies whenever you want! Im still studying at uni. But thats all boring! Just essays and working!''
''You lived round here forever then?'' Sian asked.
''Pretty much! I lived with my sister for a while, surprised one of us didn't emerge in a body bag – shes the complete opposite to me! What about you? You live here with you parents?''
''No.. my parents moved away years ago! I moved in with my Aunty, and when I started Uni I moved in this house with a friend. But shes never here! Mostly at her boyfriends these days!''
Sophie nodded.
Sian continued.
''Its mid afternoon, defiantly late enough for a proper drink?'' she asked, but she new the response as she got up and headed to the kitchen.
''Ive got red, white...erm... Ive also got vodka, coke and orange'' she shouted from the kitchen.
''Can I please have a Vodka and coke'' she answered.
''You can pick a film if you want, ive got some popcorn somewhere...'' she trailed off as she banged cupboards and opened packets of popcorn and crisps.
''OK'' Sophie yelled. She could see the tower of DVDs in front of her, stood up beside the TV.
As she got up, Sian had arrived back, she placed the savoury food snacks and the drinks on the table and left the room again.
Sophie knelt down and started at the top of the DVD pile.
'Xmen, Summer Heights high..oh I like that, hmm, noo, noo...nope... MATILDA '' she shouted and laughed! ''how old are you, '' she turned around as Sian had re-entered the lounge with a blanket.
''What.. its a classic..'' Sian said wide eyed, like she'd just been caught!
Sophie contined to look.
''skins... hangover...ohh I dunno! You pick!''
Sian knealt down by sophie.
''Your rubbish'' she laughed and looked in her eyes.
Sophie could feel the tension, that moment again, where time stood still, and she didnt wanna move from the close proximity she was now in with Sian.
Sian ran her fingers through the collection and landed on one.
''How about this one..?'' Sian picked it up and showed it to Sophie.
''Imagine me and you, never heard of it?'' Sophie admitted, but wasnt sure if it was just the title Sian wanted her to see. Her voice quivered slightly... as she studied the DVD case, it looked like a... like a gay film.
''errr..yeh ok.'' she passed it back to Sian. She got up, downed her drink and replaced the liquid with the wine that was on the table.
Sian placed the disk into the DVD player and got up. She reached over to where Sophie stood and shyly grabbed her hand.
''Its ok..'' she reassured her.
She dragged Sophie to the sofa. They both sat down with the blanket on top of them. She used the controls to press play.
Once the titles began to roll, Sian moved her hand under the blanket and found Sophies. She just held it, she could see how nervous Sophie had become in the last few minutes. She just wanted to comfort her. She edged closer to Sophie and the first scene came on the box. Sophie relaxed slightly and rested her head on Sians shoulder.
She new what was happening, every little thing that happened, it became clearer to her. She liked it.
She was semi shocked that Sian had this DVD, and more to the point, that she picked it out to watch. She needed to find out more about Sian, but right now she laid beside Sian and made herself comfy.
