“Yes mam,” I shook my head and smiled. “Nancy knows that I’m taking you out later, I’ll explain all then.” He ran his hand over my back again and I placed my head on his shoulders.
“Okay.” His sentence replayed over in my head and I stood up. “Hang on Nancy knew you were coming?” I scoffed and watched as he laughed. A whole hearted laugh and it made me want to burst.
“Oh yeah and Soph.” He winked at me as he stood from the sofa. “Be ready for 7?” He grinned, placed his beer down on our kitchenette and made his way towards the door. He was still grinning as he made his way out of the door.
“Ladies…” He gestured at Nance and Soph who were entering our apartment and my frown lowered at them. They are in trouble. I folded my arms across my chest and watched as they both cringed when the door closed behind them.
I watched as they sheepishly placed their bags on the sofa and smiled awkwardly at me. I frowned deeply at them both and watched Soph beam at me.
“Oh Avaya he sounded so upset when he called and we both knew you were upset too.” She fluttered her lovely long thick black lashed in my direction all whilst Nance stood as still as a statue.
“Did you really not want to see him?” Her voice was low and almost apologetic. I shrugged at her question.
“I did want to see him. I mean I needed answers?” I glanced back at my two best friends and half smiled as I dropped my arms to my side. I knew they only did something when they thought they were 100% right about something. They must have known how upset I’d been deep down and I laughed at the thought of him paying them off to keep their mouths shut and let a laugh escape my lips.
“So are you going to dinner with him or not?” Soph’s eyebrows wriggled around her face and I smiled.
“I am, he’s coming to pick me up at 7,” I glared at the both of them, they knew they’d kinda crossed lines and Nance shrugged her shoulders “So that means I need to shower.” My feet covered ground quickly and heard the pitter-patter of their feet behind me as I pulled my bikini off and turned on the shower.
“Can we choose what you wear? Did you bring any nice underwear?” As I turned to the sound of Sophia’s voice I lowered my eyes but her vibrant big smile caught mine.
“No, did you?” I threw my bikini top her way and heard them cackle.
“Of course she did…” Nance nudged her as I stepped into the steamy shower. This wasn’t a rare occurrence sharing a bathroom with them. This had been our college life, the memory of Sophia being stuck in the shower covered in purple hair dye from head to toe sprung to my mind and I laughed a little to myself. I remembered scrubbing her skin because she’d turned into Violet Beauregarde.
“So? What did he pay you?” I watched as Soph covered her chest with her hand and chuckled as the water trickled down my back.
“Not a penny actually! He said he’d only be here for a night, he asked how you were and I didn’t lie,” she was now rambling as she exposed their plans and Nance thumped her arm.
“She told him you were unstable.” A large smile spread the length of my face.
“Is that so?” They both went silent as I washed the soapy foam from my hair. “I don’t think I’ve been too bad?” A scoff came from Soph’s direction. She was now perched on the toilet and Nance sat on the bathroom floor.
“Nah course not.” Soph threw a towel at me as I turned off the shower. I wrapped the fluffy brilliant white towel around myself and stepped from the shower. They both studied me and I flushed a deep shade of red.
“Please stop looking at me like that.” I watched Soph grin and she placed her head against her hand that was resting on her knee.
“I wanna know what you’ve given him, no man I’ve ever met would travel 4 hours to see a girl for one night…” I watched her eyes examine mine and I shook my head.
“I haven’t given him anything.” I lied. Only my virginity. A small choking sound came from behind us where Nance was hauling herself up from off the cold tiled floor in the bathroom. I shook my head and left them bickering behind me.
I placed the full length mirror against the wall in our bedroom and posed in front of it. I sighed and pulled the shirt off over my head before I flopped back on it in defeat. I had nothing to wear. I lay back and looked at the ceiling. My heels dangling off my feet, I heard the door creak.
“I know you’ve been hot for him but please tell me you’re wearing more than that?” Nance grinned, her red hair was vibrant under the lighting of the apartment and I sat up.
“I have nothing to wear so maybe he’ll get lucky hey?” I rolled my eyes as I stood up off the bed and watched her haul my suitcase towards where she was stood on the other side of the double bed we were sharing.
“You have! You brought loads of nice things!” I felt my frow furrow and watched as she pulled every single piece of clothing out and threw it to one side. “You have a nice white one…” she was now frantically searching “where the fucking hell has it gone?” I expelled the heels off my feet and helped her look for the one I think she was talking about. “Aha! There you are!” She pulled it from the bottom of the case in one triumphant swoop and I laughed. Grinning like a cheshire cat she threw
