'Dammit, I only have an hour to get ready before he gets here' Christy thought to herself while shoving all of her shopping bags into her closet. She quickly jumped in the shower after putting on a shower cap so that she didn't mess up her freshly colored, curly hair. She was grateful that she shaved that morning because she sure wasn't going to have time to do that before her date. She was glad that she got out the shower when she did because Josh had just texted her telling her that he was on the way. "I wasnt in the shower THAT long, was I?" she said aloud when she read the text.
As she was finishing the last touches of her makeup, she heard a ring at her door. As she made her way to the door she slightly adjusted her dress, primped her curly locks then put on a smile.
As she opened the door, she had to contain herself. Josh looked sexier than he did when she first met him. He had on a tight long sleeve black shirt with a black leather jacket over it, a pair of semi-tight skinny jeans with black leather boots that went up mid-way to his calves. His hairwas completely spiked and to Christy he just looked sex on a stick.
"Hey beautiful you ready?" he asked. 'Damn she is fucking sexy' he thought to himself as he was checking her out from head to toe.
"Yea, just a second. lemme grab my purse and coat" she replied smiling directly at him.
She signaled for him to come in while she retrieved her items off the couch.
"You look absolutely great by the way" he blurted out.
"Thank you love, you look great yourself" she replied while putting on her coat.
He saw that she was struggling, so he quickly walked over to her and helped.
In her mind he smelled like straight sex. She had never smelled something so delicious.
He stuck his arm out for her to grab as they walked out the door. She locked it then he led her to his vehicle that was parked right outside her condo. He opened the door for her, let her get in, then closed it, being a total gentleman.
'Chivalry does exist' she thought to her self with a smirk.
She knew she liked him, but for some reason that dark haired girl remained in the back of her head.
"So, we are going to go to my favorite restaurant in the city. I think you will like it" he explained while smiling brightly at her.
"Your family owns a resturant? How awesome. My family owns a night club" she said as she folded her hands into her lap.
"It's been in the family for almost 50 years. Im the next in line to have it. I hope I can run it as well as my father and his father before him. But yea, what Night club?" He didnt want to talk about him self. He wanted to get to know the beautiful blond sitting next to him.
"Club Epiphany. Hear of it?" She asked.
"Have I heard of it? It's the only club I frequent" Josh laughed.
"Yea, It's a great place. It's where..." She started. She didnt know why, but she was beginning to feel guilty for not telling Mandy about her date. "It's where I've been going since I was a teen. We used to have teen nights. We need to start that up again."
Boy, she was starting to sweat. Why was she nervous? Fucking Mandy. Damnit all to hell.
Once they pulled up to the restaurant the valet let them out and they were instantly seated at what was considered one of the best tables.
They had great conversation, he made her laugh and truly was a gentleman. They talked about Family, Business and friends while they ate Italian food near a candle light. But Christy just didn't feel a spark between them. He really was a great guy. She realized that he was too sweet of a guy for her and that she needed a bad boy or in her case a bad girl.
She really didnt know how to tell him. She also didnt want to lead the man on. He didnt deserve it.
Once he walked her to her door, he placed a soft kiss on her lips, She pulled away and placed her hands on his chest with a contemplating face.
"Josh..." She said, disheveled.
He could tell that there was something wrong by the way she was looking. her face to the floor. "What's wrong?" he kindly asked. "Does my breath smell bad or something?"
"No, it's not that Josh you're great, you really are. You're just not for me. But I DID have a great time with you." she sadly expressed.
"Is it another guy?" he asked sounding wounded.
"No, it's not another guy. it's actually a girl." she sighed.
Josh wasn't expecting that response from her so the look of surprise was all over his face. "You remember the girl I was with at when I came to The shelter?" she asked.
He politely nodded at her.
"Yeah well I've never really had feelings for a girl before, but there is just something about her that I can't resist. Her brother and my best friend are together so she and I have been spending a lot of time together. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come off as leading you on. I just want to be honest with you. I think you are such a great guy." she explained.
"I understand. The heart wants what the heart wants right?" he replied.
She shook her head looking like a guilty child. "I don't want us to stop being friends though. You are a lot of fun. I'm having a Halloween party here next week. You should come. There will be available ladies here."
"Sure ok yeah. Do I have to wear a costume?" he asked laughing like a little kid.
"Uh duh it is a Halloween party" the blond replied smugly.
"Ok ok" he retorted throwing his hands up, yielding. "Do I need to bring anything?"
"Um just yourself and alcohol if you want." she replied, excited that he seemed to understand.
"Sounds good. See you next weekend then Christy" he responded hugging her goodnight.
"Night Josh" she retaliated as she walked into her place.
While she was thinking about it, she texted all of her friends and brother first regarding the Halloween party at her place.
Christy texted Mandy next telling her to come and bring all her friends from her birthday party. Lastly, she texted Ian telling him to come and bring Mick and to invite his family.
"This is going to be epic" she thought to herself, locking her phone and smiling.
Zac's hands started to get sweaty as he pulled his phone out.
"Should I call her or just go over to her place" he said to himself. Before he knew it, he was walking to his car and on his way.
He found his way to the building and made his way up the stairs. He adjusted his clothing, took a deep breath and then knocked. He could feel his heart about to jump out his chest as he heard the door unlock.
A sleepy face opened the door and was surprised to see the person on the other side of it.
"Zac?" Mandy asked as she wiped the sleep out of her eyes.
"Um hey Mands" He said nervously.
"What are you doing here?" she asked concerned. "Is everything okay?"
"I um…" he hesitated, "I need to talk to you." he said, rubbing his palms together. "Can I come in?"
She nodded her head then invited him into her apartment. "Can I clean up real quick before we talk?" she asked.
"Um yeah yeah sure" he replied anxiously, removing his leather jacket and sitting down on her couch in the living room.
The brunette made her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Once she was finished she brushed her long brown locks, adjusted her t-shirt and shorts then made her way back to the living room where Zac was sitting on the edge of couch with his hands covering his face.
"Ok I'm done. what's up?" she said as he looked up at her.
"Well I don't know how to put this…" he started.
"What is it hun? You can tell me anything" she responded reaching her hand to touch his.
Next thing she knew, he had her face cupped in his hands and was kissing her passionately.
They began softly making out, tilting their heads to deepen the kiss and rubbing each other's bodies gently. Zac pulled away for a second to catch his breath resting his forehead on hers with eyes still closed.
"Mands, I'm in love with you." he wispered.
She opened her eyes, looking him directly into his beautiful bright green eyes. "I've been in love with you since the first time I met you, but I thought I didn't have a chance until your birthday." he finally let out.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" she replied looking doe-eyed & caressing his face.
"I don't know! I guess I was stupid and scared" he explained while blushing. "Mands, I love you and I want to be your man" he blurted out.
This took the brunette by surprise and she didn't know how to respond. He kissed her again laying her gently down on the couch resting his body between her legs. He worked his way down to her neck making circles with his tongue then began using his strong hands to caress her thighs. He could feel the stuttering of her breath from the vibrations through her throat on his tongue. He smiled into her neck at the contact and as they both went to lift off their shirts Mandy's phone rang.
"Don't Answer it" Zac said as he kissed her collor bones. "Please."
"I have to Zac, Im an important person" She laughed.
"Uugghh" Zac huffed as he lifted off of her so that she could go grab it from her bedroom. She ran to her phone hoping it was Mickey because she hadn't heard from him since the day he came home from the hospital and when she tried to call him, Ian advised her that he refused to talk to anyone.
When she picked up her phone she saw that it was Christy so she answered.
"Hello?" she asked, feining sleep.
"Hey Mands!" the blond exclaimed.
"Hey" the brunette replied with nervousness in her voice.
"What's wrong? you sound like something's wrong." Christy said haphazardly.
"Um nothing. what's up?" Mandy said.
"Well I'm having a Halloween party at my place next weekend so we need to go costume shopping. You busy today?" Christy asked.
"Uh no I'm not" Mandy replied looking out her bedroom and into the living room at the gorgeous blond man resting on the couch.
"Ok! great then I'm going to come and get you in about an hour so be ready k?" Christy replied sounding extremely excited.
"Sure yeah ok" the brunette retorted, swallowing the large lump in her throat.
"Alright bye!" Christy said, excited.
"Bye." Mandy wispered.
All of a sudden a feeling of guilt came over the brunette in a way that she didn't expect. She slowly walked back into the living room where Zac was smiling waiting for her so they could go back to what they were doing.
"Zac I gotta be honest…" she started. A look of confusion quickly took over his face. "I think we should be friends."
"Why? Did I do something wrong?" he asked sounding hurt.
"No, you are perfect it's just that…" she hesitated.
"It's Christy isn't it?" he asked, not sounding surprised.
Her eyes went wide and the look of guilt came over her expression.
"I understand she's a great girl. I could tell you liked her the night we made love, but I thought
that was a one-time thing." Zac sighed.
"Yeah me too" she replied sounding embarrassed.
"It's ok" he said standing up and putting on his jacket. He slowly walked over to her, kissed her on the cheek then said "If I can't be the one to make you happy, I still want you to be."
Mandy could feel her heart drop into her stomach as he was walking out the door because she was torn between her feelings for the two blonds. "Why can't I have both of them" she said aloud to herself.
She didn't have time to dwell on those thoughts because she needed to get dressed. She quickly jumped out of her clothes and into the shower. As soon as she was done putting on her makeup and straightening her hair with her flat iron, she heard a knock and some giggling on the other side of the door. When she opened the door she saw Christy standing with a hot redhead.
"Hey Chris. Who's this?" Mandy asked, pointing.
"It's me Mandy, Amira" the redhead said excitedly.
"NO FUCKING WAY!" the brunette screamed.
"She's looking fucking hot huh Mands?" Christy said smirking.
"Hell yeah! She looks like a girl version of Ian" the brunette replied still in disbelief.
The blond busted out laughing because she knew it was true. "You ready to go girl?" she asked.
"yeah, lemme grab my purse real quick, but ya'll can come in" she responded motioning for them to come in.
While waiting for Mandy, Christy glanced around the living room noticing that the couch was quite disheveled.
"Sleep on the couch last night Mands?" Christy asked smugly.
"Um no, Zac came over earlier" the brunette replied sounding apprehensive.
Christy could feel a sense of substantial anger and jealousy come over her entire body as if Mandy had just cheated on her. She knew she couldn't be upset because she hadn't sat her down and told her how she really felt, but it was just the thought. Mandy could sense the blonde's displeasure as she walked back into the living room so she quickly fixed the couch making sure to straighten the pillows.
"What the hell did he want?" Christy spat.
Murmuring low and feeling uneasy, the brunette replied "He wanted more…"
Christy could feel her skin on fire at that point, from rage, but she did her best to hide it. Amira couldn't tell, but Mandy knew that Christy was extremely hurt by her facial expression.
"Let's get outta here" Christy quickly spouted, turning around walking to the door. The redhead and brunette followed right behind her, sensing the tension.
Once the girls left the apartment, the awkwardness finally started to disapear. Once they reached the mall, the blond seemed to be back to her old self.
As the three girls walked through the mall, they stopped in almost every store that they thought had cute outfits, totally disregarding the reason they were even there.
They came across a costume store, so they decided to walk in to see what they had. As they browsed, they saw Wonder Woman costumes, Witch outfits, Superwoman, sexy maids, sexy nurses and cheerleaders.
"They are so generic I want to be something nobody would think of" Christy blurted aloud.
Amira and Christy noticed Mandy was looking them both up and down like she had something up her sleeve.
"Since Mira here has a bangin body like us Chris, I have the perfect idea. All three of us should be Charlie's Angels." she said excitedly.
Amira had a puzzled look on her face and Christy was speechless. Mandy pulled out her phone and googled pictures of the Charlie's Angels movie. She found a picture of Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in these sexy sailor outfits.
"Look, this is what I am talking about" the brunette said as she pulled the girls closer to see the picture.
"Chris you can be Cameron since your blond, Mira you can be Drew since you're a redhead and I will be Lucy since I'm the brunette."
The two girls were pretty impressed with Mandy's idea. They thought it would be really hot.
"I'm so down with this" the blond screeched excitedly. "Mira are you game?"
"HELL YEAH! My hair is perfect for it cause it's shorter" she yelled.
"So let's find some tops, underwear, thigh highs, heels, gloves and sailor hats like this ladies" Mandy explained.
Three hours and five stores later, the girls had everything they needed for their outfits.
"Oh my gosh I'm so freaking excited! Next week needs to hurry up! Are there going to be any hot available guys coming to your party?" the redhead inquired as the threesome were walking with their shopping bags in hand.
"Oh that's right, you haven't hung with me outside of work" the blond replied laughing with a devilish grin.
"Oh please believe Amira, Christy has got that on lock! Everyone we hang with is sexy!" Mandy replied, rolling her neck and puckering her lips.
"I'm just glad that you got rid of doucheface. He wasn't worth your time or energy" the blond said, matter of factly.
"Who the hell is doucheface?" Mandy asked, totally invested.
"He's my ex-boyfriend that I dated since my freshman year in high school. The guy who I moved here to be with after he got offered a job with an investment company." Amira answered.
"So what happened that made ya'll break up after all that time?" the brunette asked.
"He was a complete asshole who didn't want to put a ring on her finger! She got tired of his shit and dropped his ass! that's what the fuck happened" Christy spat out.
"Damn Mir, I didn't take you for a bad girl, but it sounds to me like you got a lil southside in you, too" Mandy replied chuckling.
"Well it didn't help that I have a boss like Christy, who doesn't take shit from any body. I guess she kinda rubbed off on me" the redhead replied, nudging the blond and smiling.
Mandy busted out laughing even harder. "Fucking right! Us Southside girls don't fucking play around. I thought you knew?" Mandy declared, crossing her arms against chest.
"Well shit I know now" Mira snickered.
"Did Lil Miss Goodie just fucking cuss?" Christy spouted sarcastically and stunned.
"YES I FUCKING DID! And guess what I just fucking did it AGAIN!" the redhead bellowed, rolling her eyes and putting her hands on her hips. She was getting Sassy with all the bad influences. Well, Not bad, but not good.
"Get your girl Chris, before she goes all gangsta bitch on us." Mandy teased.
The threesome broke out in laughter nearly falling all over each other. Christy was in the middle of the girls so she was nearly dragging the two girls along. "Get the fuck outta here!" the blond said in a mere serious tone.
All of a sudden, the two looked up and saw the one person walking towards them that they didn't want to see.
"Please tell me that is not who I think that is" Amira pleaded, covering her face.
Christy shook her head yes so the girls instantly sped up their walking. It was too late. They were already spotted.
"Well well look who it is, the wicked prissy bitch of the South." Adam spat.
"Well if it isn't Oklahoma's trivial, hillbillian dickhead." Amira proudly said.
"Who is this fucking clown, Chris?" Mandy asked, pointing with her temper already rising.
"This is Adam. my ex-boyfriend" Amira responded, rolling her eyes.
"Mira?" the brown head boy asked, suprised.
"That's my name…" the redhead responded with sass.
"You look great!" he said.
"I know I do!" she snapped back.
"So what the fuck do you want dickwad? Mir ain't coming back to your sorry ass" Christy asked.
"Bitch was I talking to you?" he asked, with full venom in his eyes.
"Aye…" Mira started.
Christy stuck her pointing finger up turned around because she was about two seconds from hitting him in the mouth.
"Mira why did you listen to this simple bitch and break up with me? I was going to eventually marry you." he begged, after seeing how hot she looked.
"You got one more time to call her a bitch" Mandy spat, her anger on full rage now.
"When? When I turned thirty?" Amira asked, her blood begining to boil.
"Yeah!" Adam responded sounding delighted.
"Are you fucking delusional?! I was with you long enough and you told me that you didn't even know if you wanted to marry me after I moved out here just to be with you! You know what?this conversation is OVER! Let's go ladies" the redhead stated, grabbing the girls' arms to leave.
As the girls were walking away, the lanky boy lunged at Christy like he was about to hit her and screamed "BITCH THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
At that point, everyone near them was staring to see what was about to happen. Mandy stepped in front of Christy, getting in his face. "Didn't I tell you that you had one more time to call my girlfriend a bitch?" she yelled.
The lanky man stood straight up, got more in Mandy's face, pushed her then said "Bitch what the fuck is your dyke ass going to do about it?"
Before he even got the words out of his mouth, the brunette had dropped all of her shopping bags to the ground, cocked back and threw the hardest right hook she had ever thrown in her life, knocking Adam out, sliding him across the tile floor.
All you could hear was screams and "DAMNNNNNN!" coming from the people near the girls.
Mandy turned around to the shaking blond behind her, cupped her face and said "Baby are you ok?"
Christy shook her head frantically exposing that she was still extremely scared. The brunette kissed her passionately while tuning out all the commotion around them. Mandy could feel the blond relaxing in her embrace, so she gave her a sweet peck then wrapped her arms around to hug her.
Amira felt awkward watching her boss make out with a girl, but it all made sense now why Christy was so upset earlier about the guy going over to Mandy's apartment. She politely picked Mandy's shopping bags off the ground and walked over to where her ex-boyfriend was laying, still unconscious on the floor. There were people crowded around him, so she made her way through the crowd. She shook her head.
"I will NEVER be yours ever again!" the redhead chuckled to herself and replied "Look at you, you're so fucking pathetic" and she turned around to meet the girls so she could leave before anything else happened.
Mandy kept her arm around the terrified blond as the three of them walked out the mall. Christy hadn't said a word the whole time and was too shaken up to drive, so Mandy drove Mira home first. Once they reached her apartment, Mira didn't want Mandy getting out due to Christy's current state, so she walked over to Mandy's window and hugged her. Mandy informed her that she was going to stay with Christy for the night for safety reasons and that she would call her tomorrow to let her know how she is doing.
The brunette watched the redhead go into her building before she pulled off heading to the blonde's condo. Mandy grabbed all of their shopping bags and helped Christy inside.
The brunette led the blond to her bedroom, into her pajamas and then her bed. Once Christy was settled, Mandy got undressed, joined her and wrapped her arms around the girl next to her.
"Hey Chris, are you ok?" Mandy asked, concerned. "Yeah I'm better now, but I wanted to ask you something…" she started.
"What is it?" Mandy asked sounding concerned.
"Before you hit Adam you called me your girlfriend. Did you mean that?" the blond asked.
"Yeah Chris I did. Nothing happened between me and Zac today. We kissed and things got a little heated, but then when you called I couldn't pursue him. I realized that I love you and I want to be with you." Mandy confessed.
"I didn't tell you, but that guy Josh, from the Animal Shelter? I gave him my number. We went out yesterday and the date was good, but there was no chemistry. Plus I realized when he kissed me, that it was you that I wanted to kiss. You make me feel things I have never felt before Mands, especially being a woman. Then today when you told me what happened with Zac, I got so jealous and realized that I love you." Christy cried.
"So what are you saying?" Mandy asked. Sometimes, she was completely clueless.
"I'm saying babe, move in with me. I want you to be my girl." Christy confessed.
Mandy couldn't do anything but smile as she sat up on her elbows staring at the beautiful girl in front of her. She removed the pieces of hair from her lover's face then kissed her so sweetly.
The blond pulled away then said "So I take that as a yes?" The brunette just shook her head and
the girls began to make out like the two people in love that they are.
"So where are we going?" Mickey asked curiously.
"It's a surprise Mick I'm not telling you!" the younger boy giggled.
Mickey huffed at his boyfriend then continued to get dressed. "Well can you at least tell me if what I'm wearing is ok for what we are doing?" the older boy replied.
"Yes, it's perfect, but you will probably need your leather jacket cause it is pretty cool outside" the redhead responded, grabbing at the older boy's waist and kissing his neck.
The dark haired boy was wearing a tight black long sleeve sweater, semi-tight dark denim blue jeans and a pair of black ankle black leather boots with the laces slightly undone at the top. The redhead wanted to rip his boyfriend's clothes off right then and there, but he remembered that he was on a mission to get him out the house so that would have to wait until later.
The boys were nearly identical with their wardrobe, the only difference was that Ian had a black and blue hoodie over his t-shirt and under his leather jacket.
Once Mick made sure that Linc had enough food and water for the short time they planned to be gone, the boys made their way out of their place and to the elevator.
"I'm so excited this feels like our first official date" Ian said excitedly.
"Yeah I guess it is huh?" Mickey replied thinking to himself. "I'm still mad you won't tell me where we are going" he blurted out.
"That defeats the purpose of a surprise Mick" the redhead replied smugly.
"Ugh FINE!" Mickey huffed as he pushed the button to the first floor.
At that moment the younger boy realized that his boyfriend wasn't too fond of surprises so it kind of detoured the plan he had in his mind about proposing.
Before Mickey knew it, Ian was pulling up to the destination where he had planned their date. He wanted to somehow do dinner and a movie, but he felt it was too old fashioned so he found a dine-in theatre where they could do both at the same time. He knew his boyfriend would love this place. The theatre where they were going had these big reclining leather chairs and only adults age 21 and up were allowed in.
"Alright we're here" the younger boy announced.
The brunette looked around at his surroundings and wasn't sure where he was at all. "Come on let's go don't wanna be late" the redhead advised.
The older boy did as he was told and got out the car like his boyfriend requested. Once they reached the front doors of the building, the taller boy opened the door allowing the shorter boy to go in first like the gentleman he is. The brunette looked around and realized that he was at a movie theatre. It didn't look like the normal one he was use to sneaking into with Mandy when they were kids. This one was much more sophisticated and clean.
As Ian went to retrieve their tickets, he left his boyfriend staring at the beautiful neon blue lights and flat screens surrounding the bar.
"Ready?" the redhead asked, raising his eyebrow at his still astonished boyfriend.
"Yeah" Mickey replied trying not to seem like he was intensely eager to see what was next.
The boys took their seats in the huge comfortable leather chairs and began to check out everything around them. Ian thought the way the seats were arranged made it easier for date nights like this. 'We have to come here more often' he thought to himself. That thought was quickly removed once he noticed Mickey playing with the electrical button that automatically reclined the chair. If he didn't look short before he definitely did now.
"Mick?" he replied throwing up his hands, questioning him.
"What?" the brunette exclaimed, smirking mischievously.
"Nothing" the younger boy replied laughing to himself, shaking his head. He wasn't going to argue because he was just glad Mick was out the house and looking like he was already enjoying himself.
A few minutes later, they were greeted by a very attractive server who took their orders which Ian didn't object to when it seemed like his boyfriend ordered everything on the menu.
Two and half hours later the boys were walking out of the movie theatre completely full and pretty satisfied with the action movie they had just watched.
"So what you think of the movie?" the freckled face boy asked while reaching for his boyfriend's hand.
The pale boy didn't decline the hand holding invitation, he just smiled then said "It was cool I just wish that fucker Johnny woulda got his head blown off. Where we're from, betraying your fam like that merits you an instant ass beating."
Ian laughed and shook his head because he knew his boyfriend was absolutely right. But that glimpse of joy was ruined when he saw the look of horror on Mickey's face when he suddenly stopped dead in their tracks.
