Disclaimer: I don't own the plot but whatever. :D
Boys Over Roses, Chapter 6: Drunk May
Nobody's POV:
Brendan was fiddling with a little toy that Brittany had given to him when they were kids. Suddenly, Brendan threw the toy into the trash.
"I feel like I'm being abandoned!" shouted Brendan, both angry and hurt.
"If there's anything here I can't leave, it's you," replied Brittany, gently speaking to Brendan.
"I don't want you to lie to me," yells Brendan.
"If I was lying, I wouldn't have been bothered by you setting your eyes on May, when you went running to her, I found my heart falling with a thump. Isn't that funny?" she retorts.
"Stop treating me as if I was a toy, and besides I've only had my eyes set on you for the past years I've spent with you and that's not enough?! I'm a man too!" admits Brendan furiously. Brittany apologized to Brendan and hugged him. As they pull apart, Brendan automatically kisses her, but instead of the kiss being full of love, it was more on the awkward side.
May arrives at the doorway just in time to see their kiss. As soon as she sees what's happening, she decided to save her sympathy for later and quietly closes the door. May immediately started banging her head against the wall trying to remove the scene she had just seen. May was so engrossed on hitting her head; she didn't hear the footsteps that approached her.
"If you collapse here, it'll be really embarrassing," stated the unknown voice.
May looked up to see Drew smirking at her. May was about to reply to his unnecessary joke, when she heard the two move inside the room. May hurries away from the door, but not quickly enough to escape without being seen.
May stumbled with her words as she spoke. "Um, uh I-I just arrived and wondered if you wanted cake?" That was all May managed to squeak out. May decided it was best to save the embarrassment by not saying anything about the kiss.
"Actually, Brendan and I were just going on a drive, care to join?" asked Brittany to May. May thought for a moment, but ended up not wanting to be the third wheel so she declined the offer.
"We're going somewhere too," answered Drew, smoothly. For once, May was relieved with Drew's exit strategy and plays along with it. To make the "act" more convincing, Drew put his arm around her while smirking. Brendan looked at Drew's arm with interest.
When they were out of earshot, Drew starts talking.
"This act of kindness will be my way of repaying you for saving me at the pool the other day," says Drew.
"No way! These two things are nothing to compare about, plus this is only worth 10 percent of payback," protests May.
Drew argues. "More like 50 percent!"
"25 percent," retorts May.
Drew took May to a fancy bar, which was empty because he bought the place for the night. It was supposed to be a romantic gesture, but Drew didn't want May figuring out that. So instead, he says in an unsentimental way that she could shout or cry here, or do whatever she wanted.
May stared at Drew weirdly. "Why in the world would I do any of that?!"
"Well you just witnessed the love of your life kiss a girl." Drew stated matter-of-factly.
"…He is not the love of my life! Sheesh! You exaggerate way too much! Besides, I'm no competition against Brittany, I'm not smart, I'm not pretty, my family is somewhat poor-" Your figures not that great either, and your temper's bad too," added Drew, cutting off May.
May started getting annoyed by his words. "Fine, how can such a worthless person like me be jealous of her? I don't even have the right to be jealous."
"Your right, you are not that special, but you're not worthless either, if Brendan met you before Brittany, I'm sure he would of liked you. Sure your looks and your family circumstances sort of suck, but you are the first girl the almighty Drew has ever acknowledged. There was an uncomfortable silence between them when Drew excused himself to use the bathroom because he suddenly felt over heated.
May also felt the same way and grabbed a glass of what looked like water and gulped it all down.
By the time Drew comes back to May, she's totally lost herself(drunk). Drew tried to get to her, and with being impatient already, he shouts at her to get it together.
That caught May's attention. "My family, my looks, and my brain suck, even if you didn't point it out so clearly, I already know, got it punk?"
Drew was amused by her, as May rambled on and on about her cons. Then May jerks up and laughs ruefully. "I'm sad today Drew." Then May slaps him and continues, "All right, let's say you've paid me back 50 percent, and thanks for saving me today Drew, I can't do anything for you but instead…" May leaned forward, grabbed Drew's suit, and kissed him full on the lips. After their kiss, Drew waits to see what May would do. May smiles at Drew before collapsing onto him.
Another short chapter, but I have spring break next week so you'll definitely be expecting an update! So I'll update as soon as possible! :D Oh and yeah, a little contestshipping at the end there, even though May was drunk. XD
