I stared at the place where the shiny wallscreens met with the floor, both too bright for my buggy eyes. My head felt like it was filled with bubbly drinks and too many words, getting all jumbled up. The thin line along the edge of the floor kept me rooted to the bed that Aden had planted me on and I tried to remember why I was there in the first place. Hadn't we been going to the roof?
He messed around with the door control pad and in the back of my head somewhere it registered that he had locked the door. I thought for a moment that it was silly, someone would have a key of course. Moments later I let out a short, odd laugh because the door wasn't stupid and quiet like mine, it didn't use keys. Such a pretty door.
And then a pretty face. Right in front of me and his lips touched mine before I could process it. I did the automatic thing and leaned into him and felt his hands on my hips and everywhere else. Time moved like it was on a broken wallscreen, all choppy and halted.
Thoughts formed slowly in my head. Once again, that place in the back of my head was pushing through the pretty-making haze in my head and saying something about Edie, wouldn't she be angry? And why had we ditched her? No, no. She was fine. She liked that pretty blonde boy. He had chocolate eyes, just like Aden's skin.
But he wasn't keeping me tight to the floors and the ground anymore and the world was swimming and ugh I wanted to get away. But his hands, so nice, so dream-making, pulling at my dress that Edie had picked out. Oh, Edie again. And bright lights. The wallscreen played hyperpop loudly and the lights that vibrated with the beat hurt my eyes and made me dizzy again.
He stopped playing with my dress and his hands tugged at his white shirt and he lifted it over his head. The lights of the room seemed to be screaming at the both of us and everything felt twisted up inside of me. The shirt landed on the floor and I stared at it while he kissed along my neck, trailing his lips along and down to my collarbone. A shiver ran down my spine and Aden looked up at me, smiling. Such a pretty smile…
The voice that had been yelling at the both of us just as loudly as all the lights somewhere in the back of my head finally broke through all the blurriness. I began to panic and mumbled a quiet "No" at first and then it came out of me louder until I pushed him away with "No, stop!" and a shove.
"What's wrong, Jeffy-Effy? I thought you wanted this." I felt like pukemaking. He tried to kiss me again and I shoved him away. "No! I don't want- I don't want to. Edie will be mad. Edie. I need to find Edie." I stumbled past him and fumbled with the keypad for the door, trying to open it in my drunken haze. Aden grabbed my arm and I yanked it away, finally unlocking the door to nearly fall out in the hall. He followed me out, still shirtless, yelling at me to come back. There were Extras in the hall and I pushed past them, calling out for Edie.
Ah, hi guys! Sorry it's been so long since I last updated! I've been super busy lately, but I'm posting two chapters today and I'm already working on Chapter 8 for you guys. Thanks for all the reviews lately as well, they've been a BIG help. And for those of you who want to know what Jeffy looks like, I'll be sure to include that here soon. I've had plans for awhile on how to integrate that into the story, so don't worry dears! Anyway, thanks SO much for sticking with Such a Pretty Face! 3
