CHAPTER 3 Sophies P.O.V
later on .. Amber had returned briefly to bore me with endless chatter about how amazing Tonight was going to be.
i'd zoned out and was staring at the floor. Nodding every now and then trying to feign interest. It's not that i didn't want to listen... i was just preoccupied thinking. Sian's exam had finished hours ago and she said she was coming right over. Now i don't know about you , but to me right over doesn't take 4 hours somehow. So much for coming to save me pssh .
"so nod if you're as gay as a window" Amber smirked knowing full well I wasnt listening, and recieved a satisfying nod in return
"hah you admitted it !"
"huh what ?" I looked up finally coming back to reality.
Amber burst our laughing "soph if your going to zone out you really need to brush up on your 'im pretending to listen to you' skills" Amber grinned
"shurrup you ! I was thinking !"
"ouh did it hurt ?"
I knitted my eyebrows together in confusion "did what hurt?"
Amber just shook her head. "Nevermind... Where's Sian anyway? It's like nearly 5. Surely her exam has finished by now."
Well done dipshit i thought sourly.
"if I knew that. I woulda been paying attention just now!" I scowled leaning back against the shelves.
"aww well she probably went out celebrating with chris or somet. It is her last exam right ?"
"who ? " Alarm bells started ringing in my head.
"from college?"
"oh right yeah him .. How do you know him?"
Amber tapped the side of her nose and smirked in that god awful annoying way. "She'll be back soon stop fretting! Jeez. And you say you're not some like over possessive girlfriend "
Oh hell no ... she did not just go there. No wait she did
"IM NOT ! She does live with me ye know !" I scoffed desperately trying to feign my innocence.
"I'm only messing ! " Amber said bursting out laughing, walking forward to rub my arms. Alarmed i glanced down at the offending hands but in true cliché style i was, 'saved by the bell' as they say, and in walked in walked Sian. Looking breathtaking might I add. Certainly not wearing what she went out in earlier. Judging by her expression she hadn't missed Ambers little 'comfort' gesture before she'd ripped them away from me.
"At Flamin Last!" I squealed turning to skip to Sian. Yep you heard me right .. SKIP. Yep. She totally brings it out in me I tell ya.
Sian giggled" Aww you missed me?" she teased.
"course ! it's like a flamin 40's film round here!"
Sian let out a laugh engulfing me in a hug. "Sorry I'm so late ". I pressed my face into her shoulder and sighed happily.
"Boy am I glad to see you!" i murmured against it.
"oi! I'm not that bad o' company am I? I'm hurt!" Amber joked.
"What? No course not I didn't mean... "
"Sopheh ! " Amber burst out laughing as Sian tried to fight back the laughter, poking me.
"whattt ?"
"you're so easy !" Sian grinned.
Oh charming... the pair of em ganging up on me. My face broke into a scowl.
"n'aww " Sian grinned reaching to touch me softly on the arm. "tough day ?"
"not re.." i began only to be rudely interrupted.
"nevermind her!" Amber laughed. "How was your exam ?"
Sian looked across pulling her arm away and groaned. "awful !.. I felt like I was gona fall asleep half way through .."
"hmm wonder why ?" Amber grinned pointedly at me causing Sian to blush
"yeah well , wasn't just that. Some idiot kept sniffing beside me and I felt like walloping him one but the girl behind him did it for meh " she grinned beautifully. I smiled and reached for her hand.
"n'aww I'm sure you did fine babe." I tried to encourage but with Ambers laughter it was hard to keep a straight face. " I'm relying on you now ! I'm the one who's gona be stuck at frescho's!"
Sian snorted
"where on earth have you been? Me and Amber have been bored out our minds here. Today's only entertainment was Tommy's pathetic attempt at a chat up line and Norris coming to inspect the state of the shop!"
"ouh fill ya boots !" Sian smirked "Busy day then! "
"the busiest !" i groaned sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"yeah well enough about us two, what's the big secret. Why you back so late ?" Amber smiled questioningly
"well... I got caught up talking to some lads at college ..."
Oh bloody great. More flaming lads. I scowled and dropped my gaze to the floor but Sian tugged on my hand to grab my attention again
"soo .. After that I went to sort out a few things. Cos you " she said nudging me ," are coming out tonight "
"with who?" i asked confused
"Me you daft mare!"
"what like. On a date?" If you could see my face now. You'd probably burst out laughing. But my god the mixture of embarrassment , elation and confusion rolled into one has gotta be a pretty comical one. But then it hit me. Ive got not money... shit. My face must have said it all cos she let out a giggle.
"Yep ! And before you start moaning, I've sorted it with your dad and I'm paying ! So no trying to pay for stuff" God she knows me too well. Any protests i had died in my throat and came out as a huge squeal.
"AHHH you are literally amazing. God I love you !" I grinned pulled Sian into a hug.
She started to giggle and glanced over to Amber over my shoulder who was stood smiling.
"where are we going ? " i couldn't contain the excitement in my voice.
"cinema , then back to ours for a movie night in , I'll order a takeaway and.." but she was cut off as i rather clumsily threw my arms around her again pressing a sloppy kiss to her cheek. Lots of hugs today... probably national hug day or somet.
Amber just laughed and tapped on my shoulder "oi you .. Go on. Get going. Yeh need to go and get readeh. Sian you wait here , let sophie get ready haha "
"what really ? Can I go early ?"
"yeah. Go on. I'll cover for yeh. See ya in a bit" she smiled
"AHH thankyou " i squealed enveloping her in a hug too. I glanced over to sian over her shoulder throwing her a wink. The frown on her face quickly being removed and replaced with a smile as she shook her head while i left the shop.
back to 3RD PERSON
"So uh .. " she mumbled "got any plans for tonight ?" she said looking towards Amber
"me ? Oh yeah. I'm going out with tommy."
"what .. On a date ?"
"oh not you n'all " Amber groaned
"no no I was only asking , I just don't particularly like him that's all but that's my opinion."
"hmm your girlfriend didn't seem to keen either!" Amber rolled her eyes.
"hmm well there's history that's why !" Sian huffed. "how was uni ?"
"great .." Amber lied. "glad to be back though if I'm honest..." she was cut off Ryan walking in through the door stopping dead when he saw Sian.
"Sian .." he breathed
Sian froze where she was ,turning back as she tried to think of something to say "uh. You alright?".
"yeah yeah I'm great thanks , you?"
"yeah yeah never better thanks."
"cool ..." he said staring intently at Sian
Amber cleared her throat awkwardly.
"look sian .." Ryan began, scrunching his face .." i've missed you so much!
"Ryan don't.."
"we were good together !" he pressed desperately walking towards her..
"Ryan I don't want to hear.." Sian began
"Please! I just want to be able to talk to you ! Tonight say ?"
"I can't.. I'm going out with Sophie tonight .." she said raising her hand to his arm. He lifted his hand and covered hers with his.
"please .. Reschedule it or somet" he pleaded, his eyes full of desperation.
At that moment Sophie walked in through the door , stopping when she saw who Sian was with.
"I'm going now " Sian said forcefully ripping her hand away then walking toward Sophie. She placed a hand on the base of her neck pulling her in for a kiss to try to remind Ryan that she was indeed 'taken'. Before pulling Sophie out the shop swiftly.
"why was Ryan there ?" Sophie asked frowning as Sian pulled her along but Sian ignored her.
"Sian !" Sophie pressed coming to a halt. Still no response.
" Powers you answer me right now!"
"I have no idea" Sian sighed turning around " he just... just appeared out of nowhere." she mumbled, eyes dropping to the floor
"well what did he want.."
Sian shifted her eyes ..
"babe ?"
"to talk to me ! To See me !" Sian said slowly, terrified that Sophie was going to kick off so she reached her hand behind sophie's neck and pulled her in for a kiss closing her eyes.
Sophie pushed her back softly with her hands needing to say something. "You can go talk to him you know .. I do trust you "she said smiling placing a finger under Sian's chin. "I may not like it... but you can do what you like! So long as you tell me first. So I can go give em what for if they try anything" she said stroking her chin softly."Anyway. Come on." she grinned grabbing Sian's hand and pulling her to street cars.
"Why are you taking me out again ?"
"I just thought .. After all the crap that's happened with James and the money and your dad n stuff , that you needed somet to bring a smile to your face again cos you haven't been yourself lately. Plus we haven't spent that much time to ourselves I mean I know we've been together , but we haven't had any alone time for just you and.. " she was cut off by a squealing Sophie throwing her arms behind her neck and pulling her in for a long kiss.
"God I love you" She laughed when they pulled apart.
