Your cell phone rings, waking bạn from a peaceful sleep. bạn reluctantly climb out of giường to find it, wrapping a sheet around bạn and cursing whoever decided it was a good idea to call bạn at 5 am. Stumbling towards your phone, bạn smile at the blonde girl still sleeping, remembering the night before. bạn flip your phone open without checking the caller ID.
“Hello,” bạn say, your voice laced with the effects of sleep.
“Marissa Cooper,” the voice on the other end screeches. “Where the hell are you, young lady?”
“Yeah, nice to hear from you, too, Mom,” bạn say sarcastically.
“Where...

bạn look up as bạn hear the door open, watching her walk in. bạn smile softly and tell her that her girlfriend has gone to sleep. She nods.

“Cool, I think we've seen the last of the guys,” she says, walking over to the table.

“Oh I wouldn’t be so sure, there’s still like what four phút of girls night out left,” bạn retort.

You watch her as she takes a drink from the bia bottle she just picked up. “I’ve had enough of girls, and guys,” she says, sounding exasperated.

“There’s an old horror movie on,” bạn tell her, trying to take her mind off things.

She glances at the television...

bạn walk along the pier with her, hand in hand, as the wind blows softly. bạn look over at her and notice how beautiful she looks in the setting sun. bạn pause briefly and push a stray hair behind her ear and she pulls bạn in for a kiss. bạn still can’t believe how undeniably attracted bạn are to her. If you’d been asked a tháng cách đây if you’d ever hook up with a girl, it would have been an emphatic ‘no.’ But then again, a tháng ago, bạn didn’t know her as anything other than Seth’s boss and sometime girlfriend.

“Hey, Maris,” she says, breaking your thoughts. bạn smile at her...

bạn walk into the club, standing at the hàng đầu, đầu trang of the spiral staircase, watching her give instructions to the few other employees that occupy the floor. bạn reach up and touch the tim, trái tim chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm she gave you, unsure of what you’re about to do. Your tim, trái tim hurts just thinking about it, but it’s the right thing to do, isn’t it? No one is going to accept bạn two and bạn can’t take the stress of being rejected bởi everyone bạn know and love. bạn slowly make your way down the stairs, steadying yourself on the handrail. bạn stop at the bar, waiting for her to turn around.

“Hey you,” she says,...

bạn walk in the front door and before bạn can close it, she’s standing in front of you.

“Traffic on the way trang chủ from school,” she says.

“Yeah, mom,” bạn say, rolling your eyes and walking past her into the kitchen. bạn weren’t in the mood for her games, bạn just wanted to hiển thị up long enough for her to get off your case and let bạn go see Alex again.

“I know bạn weren’t at Summer’s last night,” she calls from the foyer as she comes to meet bạn in the kitchen.

“Oh really now,” bạn say, pulling out the trái cam, màu da cam nước ép, nước trái cây and taking a drink, not even bothering with a glass.

“Marissa,...

bạn pull up to your house, an giờ and a half after school let out, hoping your mother isn’t trang chủ to realize bạn didn’t come straight trang chủ after school. To be honest, bạn never actually went. bạn spent the ngày in your lover’s arms, not moving from the giường except for that giờ long vòi hoa sen bạn took. bạn close your eyes, relaxing against the leather seats, and a smile creeps across bạn face as bạn think of the way she touched you. bạn blush, thinking of the way she made bạn come, screaming her name and dragging your nails down her back. It was the first time bạn didn’t have to fake your...

bạn wake up, blinded bởi the light coming in through the curtains. bạn don’t open your eyes because bạn feel arms wrapped around bạn and you’re scared you’d wake whoever it is. Instead, bạn sigh and curl up closer, trying to fall back asleep. For some reason, bạn feel good about yourself, even though bạn can’t remember where bạn are, because bạn know it’s not home. bạn decide bạn should probably figure that out, so bạn open your eyes a little and see the blonde hair that’s across your shoulder and smile. bạn know exactly where you’re at, and it makes bạn all warm again. bạn lean...
