I don't own anything. I just borrowed them from SM. Gave them a lil more attitude, a potty mouth and a lot of hormones :)
No lemons on this one. Sorry it took so long to update...Life got in the way :)
Chapter 4: BPOV
Fuck my head hurts!
I somehow made it to my bed in my pajamas and have no recollection of what happened the night before...
What happened??? Met Alice... she came and took me out clubbing...yellow Porsche...shots...dancing...OMFG KISSING!!!
I jumped off the bed to look for my cell and see if she had called. I don't even know what time it is.
Cell phone! Where the hell is it!?! I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand and saw that it was only 8 a.m. It was probably too early to call Alice, so I decided to shower and eat some breakfast and get rid of my hangover.
The smell of coffee was like my beacon to the kitchen. It called out my name as soon as I got done getting dressed.
"Good morning, Bells!" my mom said cheerily.
"Shush! Not so loud, mom!" I growled.
"So, seems like you girls had fun last night. Alice was nice enough to put you to bed and made sure that you were okay," she spoke softly; with a tender look in her eyes that I'm not quite sure what to make of.
"Yeah, we had fun. I probably drank a bit too much considering how much my head hurts right now," I groaned.
I decided to spend the morning in bed, nursing my hangover and trying not think about the fact that I kissed Alice. I fucking KISSED a girl. What the hell was that about?
I hope I don't end up in one of those Girls Gone Wild videos that is ever so popularly filmed in Florida. UGH!
At around 11 a.m. I get a text from Alice.
"Are you up? How are you feeling? ~A"
I text her back.
"I'm ok. Head hurts, a bit hazy. ~B"
"U up for brunch? ~A"
"Sure...be here in 20? ~B"
"On my way! ~A"
APOV:
I saw her sitting under the palm tree taking pictures. She had the camera in front of her face most of the time and when she took a break and put it down, I was able to really see her. She was beautiful. She had a muted tortured look to her face though and I was just drawn to her. I had a feeling that she needed a friend.
Bella is really sweet. She had a very innocent air about her. I decided that I was gonna take her out for a good time. I got her a bit more drunk than she was probably used to though. Then I kissed her. I fucking kissed her! I hope that I didn't scare her. I mean I like girls but I just like to play and have fun with them. I figured I should probably try and explain myself to her so I asked her if she's up for brunch.
Bella was out on the front porch when I pulled in her driveway.
"Good Morning, sunshine!" I cheerily greeted her. She smiled and got in the car.
"So...where are we going? I'm starving!" Bella asked. I was trying to get a feel for her mood but it seems for the most part that there wasn't any weirdness. I mean she wouldn't agree to brunch if she didn't want to see me right? Why did I have to go kissing on every hot girl I fucking encounter? Dammit!
"I was thinking we can head to this little cafe place by the pier. It's right on the water. It should be nice and relaxing after a night of drinking." I tell her, knowing that she is probably hung-over like crazy.
We get to the restaurant and we chose a nice shady spot out on the patio. We ordered some drinks and I decided it was time to offer my apologies.
"Listen, Bella," I stammered, "About last night... I apologize if I offended you in some way. I just want to let you know that I don't just randomly kiss my friends. Okay, that's a lie, I do randomly kiss my friends but I didn't want you to get uncomfortable, especially since we just met. I like girls but I like guys more... what I'm trying to say is I'm bi and I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable last night. That really was never my intention." I blurted it out as quickly as I possibly could. I was looking down on my lap the entire time not wanting to lose my courage as I spilled my guts all over the damn table.
I finally look up and I see Bella just smiling, trying to fight the urge to laugh. "What?" I asked.
"Nothing. It's just funny how you're all nervous and shit! Like you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar." She said grinning. "It's all good. I gotta say I wasn't sure if any of that really happened last night. I've never done that before and by that I mean make out with a girl...I kinda liked it. But I think I still like guys more," she winked at me as she said that.
I was so relieved that Bella was okay with what had happened last night. I really think we're going to be good friends and I don't want to scare her off just because I like kissing girls.
BPOV:
Brunch with Alice was nice and relaxing. I was happy that there was no weirdness despite what had happened the night before. I really like her and I have a short supply of friends in the Sunshine State so I would really like to keep her. We made plans to go shopping tomorrow. I, in the mean time, need to look at job ads.
I'd been looking online for a decent summer job for hours and hours till I found one that caught my eye.
Assistant to Photographer Wanted:
Must have photography background. Able to travel around Florida.
Pay TBD. Email for more info
That sounds like it would be a great opportunity! I emailed my resume along with some samples of my work right away. I really need to just be busy so I can stop thinking about how fucked up my relationship ended with my best friend, my boyfriend of forever! If I keep busy, I wouldn't have to think about him fucking the neighbor...in our fucking bed. Gah! I needed to get out of the house!
I went for a run around the block just to clear my head. After I got cleaned up, I decided to check my emails and see if any of the jobs I had applied at earlier have responded.
I got one!!!
