Becky’s pov
I press my ear against Sandy’s door as I heard them talk. I had heard her yell his name and had gone to her room to check on her.. . well here I am.. eavesdropping. Woah!. Just five minutes ago sandy didn’t want to see Dylan. Now they are in there professing love to each other. I move away from the door and go back into the living room.
They do love each other. I’m so happy for them. But still I feel this huge sadness that i don’t have a boyfriend. All they want is my body. Which I won’t give them. I turn on the TV and tune it. I stuff chocolates inside my mouth as I watch movie. My mind suddenly drift to liam Paige. He’s such a cutie!. Acts like a complete gentleman. I remember the way he massaged my foot when I kicked it against the table cos I was drooling at him. But still I’m certain nothing is gonna come out of it. He seemed attracted to sandy. Yeah…. she’s the pretty one after Emilia, but she’s curvy than I am. I sigh as I hear Sandy’s bedroom door open. They came into the living room, their hair looked tousled and sandy was pink in the cheeks. I chuckle. I know what had happened in there.
“Hey Dylan” I grin as I smirk at sandy.
“Hey feisty Becky” I chuckle.
“Didn’t know you where… in there” I lie and tilt my head to her bedroom. sandy rolls her eye cos she knew I was lying.
“Yeah I was Becky…. came in through her window” Sandy poked him on his ribs as we laugh. He gave her a quick peck.
“okay bye girls.. its late already gotta roll”
“Okay Dylan…. bye”
“Be careful babe” Sandy say and hugs him and they kiss. i gave a small wave as he left the room. I wait till I hear our apartment door close before turning to sandy.
“I’ve got a little issue with Dylan” I mimicked her and she laughed. She plumped down beside me and took the jar of chocolates from me.
“He drove his car away from the house so i won’t see him” I chuckle and take the jar of chocolates from her.
“So I’m hoping you’ve ironed out your issues with him?” She sighs.
“Yeah I have…. I just hope it dosen’t repeat itself” I shrug and stuff my chocolates.
“He told me harry wanted to see you” she says after a pause . I scoff and itch my hair.
“Well I don’t wanna see him”
“Shut up Becky and swallow your pride!” I chuckle.
“Okay fine.. but he had better behave himself” She rolled her eyes and folded her legs on the chair.
“We’re going out of town this weekend.” I glance at her before returning my gaze back to the screen.
“Really?…. Why?”
“Dylan’s mum is having a birthday party… it’s just the family and few of their family friends and Dylan wants me to come along”
“hmm….” I say and lean into the comfort of the couch.
“Its gonna be a boring weekend then…. Emilia is going out with Nick too” She roll her eyes.
“Don’t go all sad Becky. You’ve got a lot of guys asking you out on dates… just pick one and hang out with him” I scoff. Like it was easy. She stood up and walked to a shelf. She held up a disc
“How about we watch something fun” She smirked and winked.
“No horror movies tonight sandy!” I blurt out. She giggled and slot in the disc.
“Its gonna be fun babe” I sigh. I’m gonna trash those discs soon. I stand up.
“Awww…. aren’t you gonna sit with me” I grab my jar of chocolates from the glass table.
“Fuck you bitch!” I curse and walk to my room, sandy squealing in laughter.
Emilia’s pov
I held the bucket of water but didn’t move from my spot. What am I trying to do! Drench a girl with a bucket of water cos she’s having fun with her boyfriend…. Its gonna look like I’m a kill joy. I huff and drop the bucket of water. I walk back to my room and sit on the bed. I feel so angry. Just like Sandy had said…. he’s a badass guy. And badass ain’t dope. He should change. Someone’s gotta curb his badass ways. I sigh and lie on my back tiredly. What if I want him to change?. He’s too bad. While in my house he must behave well. I stand and walk to the entrance of my bedroom door. I walk through the short hallway leading to the living room. I pause as I hear them talking. I took a peep at them and lean back against the wall. What!… I blink and took another peep. The girl had long red hair and was a bit shorter than him.
Another girl?… He made out with another girl! Why would he do such…. unholy stuff. I hear them making stupid sounds…. they’re kissing yuck!. I wait patiently for the girl to leave my apartment before coming out. He was sitting with his legs crossed and was bare chested. I could hear my heartbeat immediately just staring at his white skin designed with tattoos. He looked up and on seeing me and rolled his eyes.
“A little advice small ass…. don’t eavesdrop on people’s conversation” I frown. How did he know?. Where I was wasn’t conspicuous. I ignore him and stood akimbo.
“You realise this place ain’t a brothel right?” He arch his brows and ran his fingers through his hair. He had gotten a hair cut and his hair was now shoulder length. He had also gotten a dye and his hair was now blonde… wow!. Looks good on him though, unlike mine….
“Everywhere is a brothel to me baby….. as long as I’ve got a pack of condoms in my pockets.” He winked. My eyeglasses fall to the bridge of my nose. He needs to go to rehab.
“Why are you bringing in different sluts to my house!” He scoffs.
“Ain’t your godamn business small ass… or are you jealous? I scoff. Jealous…. no way!.
“Why should I be?….” He smirks.
“You should be…. I saw you the other time when I was talking to your friends you looked like a jealous girlfriend” My cheeks heat up in embarrassment.
“You should stop talking nonsense” He crossed his legs.
“You’ve been the one talking trash.. stop acting like a stupid dag for once!” He jibed. I gasp in anger.
“I’m not a dag!” i yell angrily. He chuckled.
“You’re more than that airhead… your friends are so much cooler than you are… stop being a snoop” My cheeks heat up in anger. No I wouldn’t let him go this time.
“Stop acting like a stupid kid liam!” I yell and there was silence… my heartbeat thudding against my ribcage. I just insulted him.
“What did you fuckin call me” His voice was calm…. and cold. Emilia!…. what have you done! He stands up and I drop my hands to my sides. His face clouded in…. anger
“Did you just… insult me?” His gaze pierced mine. I adjust my eyeglasses. I won’t back out.
“Yeah I did call you stupid cos you’re stupid!” He archs his brows.
“You’ve grown nerves lately….” He say and I look away.
” And…. you’re looking so skanky in that ugly dress of yours” He says and i bite the inside of my cheeks. That hurt me. I’m wearing a faded jean and black baggy top it ain’t unpleasant!. Well… No backing out still.
“Well atleast I’ve got clothes on…. unlike you walking about half naked!” Where did I get the nerves to do so…. this ain’t the Emilia I know. He scoffs.
“Your fuck buddies have given you a lot of bangs this night right?” He smirked. I stare at him angrily… well I know what he meant by fuck buddies.
“Coming from a guy who can’t stick to a girl!” I smirk. Wow!.. this is so cool!. He paused in surprise.. he’s used to having the upper hand in cursing….. well its my turn now. He chuckled.
“You’re such a fuckin asswipe and your brain is full of wools!” I gasp softly and he smirked.
“In case none has told you. You’re so fuckin ugly you won’t need any costume to act a horror scene!” He flipped his hair back and sat down. I gawped at him. All the little curse words in my head suddenly vanished.
“If you don’t mind… you in front of me makes me wanna puke take your broke ass from my sight” He crossed his legs as his lips curl into a smirk. I turn round and stormed into my room. I slam the door pretty hard and plonk on my bed. I held the pillow tightly as his insults lingered in my mind. I hate him!. He’s such a…. such a wicked bull!. I bury my face in the pillow and groan angrily. Why did I insult him first place!. My phone dings, i stare at the screen. its sandy message. I pick it up.
Sandy: wtsup cupcake. I sigh and text back.
Me: Not good… criminal is giving me a hard time!.
A laughing emoji pops on my screen. I send an angry emoji.
Me: Not funny!. I insulted him cos he brought home another slut and was making out!.
I lie on my front as she text back.
sandy: Holy shit!… No way!.
me:Yes way and worse still he called me ugly! I grit my teeth angrily. who does he think he is anyways!.
Another laughing emoji pops on my screen. Could sandy ever be serious!
sandy: Chill emmy you and I know you’re very pretty. I sigh. Yeah I know cos a lot of people tell me…. but I can’t just imagine a guy telling me I’m ugly.
Sandy: He’s fuckin cool you know…. why don’t you just be nice to him. What!… he’s never acted nice to me… he totally ruined my nice self.
Me: He’s so difficult Sandy… I hate him already…. why can’t he just leave!. Sandy texts back.
Sandy: You’re acting this way cos he’s a guy!” I roll my eyes. No way. If he was a bit nice then we’d be cool.
me: wish you could be in my shoes Sandy…. he just sabotages my efforts to be nice!.
sandy: Just take a chill pill emmy. Accept him the way he is…. act cool around him or just ignore him. I bit my lips. I think that’s it. I would ignore him.
Me:Thanks Sandy. she sends a smiling emoji.
Sandy: You always welcome girlfriend.
Me: Goodnight…. tell Becky I said hi” I waited for her reply before dropping my phone. I walk into the bathroom and showered. I put on my PJ and sit on the bed. Annoyingly, I can’t forget what he had told me. What if he insults me again. I can’t watch him treat me like trash in my own house. I pay the rent, I’m the boss here!.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I pick my phone and smiled. I know what to do. He isn’t gonna win next time. I opened a search engine and typed out hundred curse words. I waited for a second before different curse words popped on my screen. I grinned. I would learn them. The next time he wouldn’t go scot free. I lie on my front and began to learn the words.
