-Diana's POV-

"Okay Charlie, I'm gonna be late! I'll see you in a minute!" I tell him buttoning up my white shirt that I have to wear for work, I don't always change in front of Charlie but it doesn't bother me either. We just carry on with our conversation.

I turn quickly almost running into his bedroom door, I open it quickly as I hear him shout a "bye" as I make my way down his stairs.

As I get into my car my phone buzzed in my jeans pocket, I take it out as I start my car quickly. It's Jane...?

Jane
Diana are we going to talk?

Diana
That depends.

I put my phone on silent as I start driving, not too fast but not as slow as usual. I'm going to be late.

I got my college applications out of the way finally. I applied for a few colleges, just incase I don't get into Yale. But Yale is the one I need to get in to. All my nights studying and hours spent with my head in books was to get into Yale. Ever since I was ten, I wanted to go there. I know...thinking about college at ten.

But I need to get in, it's in my plan for my life. For my future. If I don'tβ€”I will though, but that slight chance I won't...I don't know what I'm going to do.

Thinking about it now, will I be able to be a lawyer. What if I'm not a good one. Should I become one? What I'm not making the right decisions. What ifβ€”

I hear a loud horn and press my foot on the brake quickly stopping the car, my body moves forward quickly but the seat belt stops me. I grip the wheel as my breathing is heavy. Jesus.

I hear a beep behind me and I jump, I start driving again but pull over once I find a safe spot. I put my palms to my head and lean my elbows on the wheel. I don't want to be a lawyer, do i? I've wanted to be one since I was nine when mom told me she wanted to be one when she was younger. But I can't see myself as one anymore, it's in my plan though.

I lean back starting my car again, I don't know what to do. But for now, I have to go to work.

I get out of my car once I park, I lock it before quickly walking up to the bar and inside. I immediately spot Floyd, whom I haven't seen in a while. He spots me too and smiles as I walk closer behind the bar.

"Hey kid, it's been awhile." He puts the towel on his shoulder as he sets the dry glass on the counter. I smile a little back.

"Yeah it has been, how are you and the family?" I ask him.

"We're good, Bella's been asking about you though. She wanted to text to make sure you're okay now but didn't want to bother you. How's school going?" He walks past me over to a man sitting at the bar, the man tells him something. I wait till they finish and the man hands Floyd money. He moves past me again and I follow.

"I'm fine really, so is school. It's a little stressful trying to catch up and stuff."

"Ah, school. Those days weren't the best, how about college? Are you excited?" He picks up a glass as he makes a drink.

"Kind of, I did my applications yesterday but I'm a little worried I'm going in the wrong path."

"How'd you mean?"

"I want to go to Yale, I wanted to become a lawyer. Not so much anymore I don't think."

"It's never too late to change your mind. Do what makes you happy."

"Yeah, I think I will do that. Thank you Floyd." I smile as I walk over to a woman sitting at the bar, will I do that though?

She tells me what she wants and gives me the money, I return her change before I go to make her drink. Another one of the bartenders come out. I hate when there's too many of us working, squishing past each other and all that.

I hand the woman her drink before looking around, I don't think anyone needs anything. The other bartender working, Alyssa...it could possibly be? She starts talking to someone, she talks to everyone for too long.

I start drying glasses since I have nothing to do.

I finish doing that and just lean back against the counter waiting for someone to ask for something or wave their hand. I take out my phone to see if Jane messaged anymore.

Jane
I didn't mean anything that I said

Diana
You did though. Look I'm working and I have a lot on my mind. I don't need this adding to it.

I turn off my phone rubbing my eye, I should of slept earlier last night. It's getting weird sleeping on a blow up mattress though. I sigh looking up and see Natalie walking into the bar. Of course she would show up after I told her I was working tonight. I thought she was sleeping with a freshman, which is concerning...but I just assumed it. I tried to prove I was better but she said it's bad enough she's with me. She said she's with me. To add to that, she wants a second date.

We make eye contact as she walks closer before sitting down, I smile leaning off the counter walking over.

"Hi." I say and she crosses her arms leaning on to the bar.

"Hello. I wantβ€”"

"A mint julep?" I ask and she nods.

"Do I come here that often?"

"I just have a good memory."

"If you have such a good memory, then you better remember Daniel's is going to end both of us if one more thing is said. So you better move back a little before people suspect something." She smirks and I move back, I turn around almost bumping into Alyssa. What is with me almost hitting into everything today.

I make her drink quickly as Alyssa talks to someone for five minutes while other people are looking for drinks, I don't know where Floyd has gone to.

I go over to Natalie giving her the drink, she hands me money but I don't take it. I shake my head.

"Take it." She tells me and I shake my head again.

"It's fine, I can pay for it." I smile grabbing a cloth to wipe down the bar, in reality I just want to talk to her.

"No you will not. Take the money, I'm serious."

"It's just a drink."

"And this is just money, which you need more than I do. Take it."

"No." I wipe the little ring off the bar, why can't people use the stupid coasters that are right in front of them.

"Diana."

"Mmhm?" I look at her. She holds out the money.

"You paid for the hotel last time and the meal, justβ€”" She puts her hand onto the bar leaning over, putting the money in the pocket of my shirt. I quickly move her hand away but she gets the money in.

"Keep your hands to yourself woman, we are trying to not get caught. Remember?" I huff and she looks at me, her eyebrows furrowed.

"What did you just call me?"

"Woman."

"You said it with an attitude."

"You deserved that 'attitude'."

"Oh you are lucky there are people around. Watch that mouth of yours." She mumbles before taking a sip of her drink. I turn around almost running into Alyssa again.

"Watch where you are going." She scoffs and I huff annoyed. I turn almost bumping into Floyd. Jesus.

"Woah, are you okay?" He asks and I nod.

"Yeah sorry, something with me running into things todayβ€”and people." I mutter scratching the side of my head.

"Arabella's on her way over to collect me, she wants to say hello so she's popping in early. And by early she means two hours early, I'm locking up tonight." He shakes his head smiling and I smile too.

"Is someone going to give me a drink?" I hear a loud voice slowly speaking. I roll my eyes quickly walking over.

"Maybe you've had enoughβ€”"

"Young lady. I will tell you when I have had enough." The man holds up his glass his eyes look heavy.

"Well I don't think you will be able to if you have another, do you want me to callβ€”"

"I want a god damn drink!" He shouts at me, spit flying everywhere. Disgusting. I hear a stool creak and Natalie gets up. I look to her shaking my head but she ignores me.

"She said you've had enough so get your ass out of here." Natalie tells him.

"Hello youβ€”"

"Alright, that's enough. Out we go." Floyd comes over grabbing the man's upper arm.

"I had that handled." Natalie looks to Floyd. Floyd ignores her as the man starts shouting, Floyd pulls him out towards the door.

"I had it handled actually." I look to her and she hums, she turns around walking back to her spot.

"Hello!" I hear another voice, I look to see Arabella walking over with a smile on her face. I smile back at her.

"Hi." I say.

"How are you, love?" She walks over to a stool as I walk behind the bar.

"I'm good, what about you?"Β  I look past her and see the man arguing with Floyd before Floyd says something.

"I'm great, thank you for asking. How's school going? Is everything okay at home because our place is always open for you to stay." She takes off her jacket, I nod.

"Schools going good too, just exams coming up and yeah....Things are great at home." I tell her with a small smile. I'm not going to bother them again.

"Are you sure? Theo is always asking when you are coming to stay again, I'm sure he thought you were moving in for good." She laughs and I do a little too. Theo got hurt because of me. Whys he asking about me still?

"Yeah...I'm staying at a friends, just things with my aunt keep getting good then bad. But we will be fine again soon." I fidget with a cloth looking at it. Floyd comes back around the bar.

"Our house is always open Diana, really. You are a lovely girl and even Theo enjoys your company." She tells me.

"It's fine Bella really, I'll be back at my aunts soon. But thank you." I look around taking a breath.

"Alright, well you have Floyd's number if you need a place to stay. Also, who's that?" She smiles as I look at her, she points over to Natalie who was looking at me. Natalie looks away.

"She's....someone I know, why?" I ask looking back to her.

"She's been death staring me since I walked in, she seems a little annoyed with me being around you." Arabella taps the counter smiling as Floyd hands her a soda. She thanks him and I look back to Natalie as Arabella looks over to her. Natalie looks her up and down, not in the way she does to me...

"She might need a drink." I smile at Arabella before walking over to Natalie.

"Who's that? She looks familiar." Natalie asks as I walk over. She sounds jealous...She's jealous.

"Why?"

"I'm curious, I think I've seen her before. How do you know her?" She asks looking to me.

"Are you jealous?" I smile and she scoffs.

"Why would I be jealous?"

"That's something I'm wondering myself." I lean down onto the counter, she looks at me shaking her head.

"I am not jealous, I don't do jealous."

"Is that why you didn't take your eyes off of us?"

"I was making sure she didn't try anything."

"So you were jealous?"

"That isn't jealous, if I was jealous you would know. But I don't get jealous, I know my place with you." She takes a sip of her drink looking at me.

"You're jealous." I smile teasing and she rolls her eyes.

"No I am not. Why do you have all the buttons up?" She asks staring at my shirt. I look down and back to her confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Well they both have one button down, unbutton one." She tells me and I lean off the counter. I unbutton the top one and she tilts her head frowning.

"Another one." She nods and i shake my head.

"You want me to strip all together?"

"I would enjoy that sight very much."

"Of course you would." I walk away as someone holds holds their glass up. I quickly walk over, tripping over my foot. I catch myself but it doesn't stop the embarrassment. I feel my cheeks heat up but smile at the woman.

"Just another beer please." She smiles back and I take her glass, her hand touches mine and I pull away quickly before walking over to the little beer tap to fill it.

Once it fills I walk back quickly putting it down for her, she hands me money. I like this spot of the bar since it's close to the register and easier to get the persons change. I put the money into the register and take out her change which I also place down on the bar.

"Just hold the glass up or whatever if you need something else, the other girl doesn't pay attention." I roll my eyes and go to walk away before she speaks again. I stop.

"How about your number?" She asks and I laugh, she's beautiful yes. Tan, brown eyes, dimples, dirty blonde hair. But I'm not attracted to her, I like Natalie. Giving out my number isn't something I feel like doing anyway.

"I'm actually not exactly single."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Do you not recognise me? Were you that drunk?" She smirks a little taking a sip of her drink. It clicks.

Fuck! She's that girl from the party, the college student I kissed?

"Oh! Hi!" I say nervously not knowing what else to say since this is kind of embarrassing.

"Yeah, hello. Thank god we didn't go upstairs." She laughs and I do too but more nervously than her. This is awkward.

"I never got your name." I tell her. Well that sounds different than I wanted it to.

"Willow, how about you?"

"Diana. I'm sorry for kissing you at that party, I really was that drunk."

"It's fine, I didn't mind. If anything I enjoyed it but thankfully your friend pulled you away because I didn't realise how drunk you were."

"Which friend?" I ask a little confused.

"The one in the bikini top, dark curly hair? I don't know her name." She says and I bite my lip trying to think. Do I even know anyone like that? All I can remember is the game, Natalie picking me up and that pain in my knee. I can remember kissing her....I thought it was Natalie? Maya!

"Maya." I smile remembering her now. God I can be forgetful. Yeah, she's the one that looks like Madison Bailey, very beautiful. Natalie. I look over to her and she's talking to Alyssa. Alyssa's buttons are down a lot. Her boobs are practically out.

"Yeah, her. Where you sick much the morning after?" Willow carries on but I focus on Natalie and Alyssa, Alyssa's smiling and Natalie has that stupid small smirk that she does.

"Hey, someone needs a drink over there. Can you get them one?" Floyd says and I snap out of it. I nod quickly walking over to man. He asks for a beer, I quickly go get him one. I look back to Natalie and Alyssa who are still talking. They're both laughing now, the beer overflows spilling onto my hand. I drop the glass by accident. Fuck my life. It shatters making the bar go silent. I look down at the floor at the broken glass.

"Careful." Floyd comes over quickly, I hear laughing behind me and Alyssa's saying something. Natalie only has a small smirk on her face.

"Alyssa, someone needs a drink over there so do your goddamn job before you talk someone's ears off." I huff, she rolls her eyes as she goes back talking to Natalie. I feel my hand stinging and look down at it. My palm is cut, great.

"I'll clean this up, go clean that up. It's fine." Floyd tells me and I nod. I walk around the bar and towards the bathroom. She was doing that look she does with me that makes me feel all weird!

I walk over to the sink running my hand under the water, her and that stupid look. Everyone worships the ground she walks on. They were flirting...

Natalie started asking questions when I was talking to Arabella...she got jealous. Then she flirts with Alyssa, she was staring at her boobs too. Both of them smirking...

The bathroom door opens and of course in she comes.

I make eye contact with her through the mirror before looking back at my hand.

"Are youβ€”"

"I'm fine."

"You don't sound it, darling."

"Don't 'darling' me." I huff. She can go sleep with Alyssa for all I care, I step away from the sink and she blocks my way. I lean back against the sink looking away from her.

"And you thought I was jealous earlier."

"I'm not jealous, move out of my way." I glance at her before walking past her to a stall grabbing some paper towels.

"I guess I'll go sleep with her then?" She follows and I roll my eyes grabbing more paper towels.

"It wouldn't surprise me with you." I press the paper towels to my palm.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"You sleep with whoever you want whenever you want, you slept with your ex wife who cheated on you for god sake." I roll my eyes going to go out of the stall but she stops me putting her hand in my way.

"So what if I did?"

"You are just...." I shake my head going to move her arm but she doesn't move, instead she moves her whole body in front of me. I huff looking at her.

"I'm just what?"

"Frustrating." I say.

"And you think you aren't?"

"What have I ever done to frustrate you?"

"Kiss my sister to start with."

"When I was drunk."

"Oh poor little Diana, drunk so she gets a to kiss my sister."

"You said you weren't mad about it Natalie!" I raise my voice getting frustrated. I'm going to push her if she doesn't move because she's making me really mad.

"You are the one acting like a brat."

"Me?!" I laugh.

"You got jealous because I was talking to someone...Arabella, Floyd's wife." I add rolling my eyes.

"You are mad at me now because I was talking to someone too."

"Alyssa is different." I say.

"Explain."

"Just move. I don't want to speak to you." I tell her waiting and doesn't move.

"Admit you were jealous." She leans against the door of the stall. I huff shaking my head.

"You are ridiculous, really fucking ridiculous and frustrating. Im not the jealous one."

"You got mad at me for hugging someone, you came to my house with no underwear trying to prove something."

"Move." I ignore what she's saying.

"Where's your manners?"

"Up your ass Natalie, move." I look at her and she raises her eyebrow.

"Watch that mouth."

"Get out of my way." I move her shoulder.

"Admit you're jealous."

"I'm not jealous!"

"Why are you mad at me then?" She begins getting annoyed again.

"Because you are just frustrating, for the hundredth time. You think you can just ask me out on a second date and invite me over acting like you have feelings then go flirt with other people." I move her shoulder harder.

"Since when are we dating?"

"We aren't because you don't know what commitment is anymore." I look at her again.

"How do I know you're trustworthy? You slept with and kissed people at a party? A fucking Highschool party."

"I was drunkβ€”"

"Oh that's your excuse?"

"Yeah and you saw the state I was in!"

"After you took drugs, I don't know what you were like before that!"

"I can't even remember half the night! You slept with your ex wife, someone you were with for years. You were married for god sake!"

"It was a mistake."

"It still happened!"

"Oh you act like you are perfect when you aren't!" She shouts and i feel the anger rising in my chest.

"You know nothing about me! You don't even try to get to know me either!"

"I have tried to get to know you, I have invited you over just to get to know you?"

"Shut up!" I shout before grabbing her face kissing her. What the hell am I doing.

She grabs my waist pulling me against her as she backs out of the stall, she hits her back off the wall.

I slide my tongue through her lips, I just want...her.

My hands wrap around the back off her neck as my fingers go to her hair. She moves us so that I'm back against the wall, she moves her tongue into my mouth. I move my hands under her shirt and hers go to my jeans.

I arch off the wall into her, I run my tongue along hers before sucking. We both moan into the kiss making me feel things I shouldn't, I should have pushed her away but I just want her hands on me.

I pull her closer. Her hand goes into my jeans, I move my hand down to hers. She pushes my legs apart, roughly. We can only hope that someone doesn't come in because I really don't want to move back.

I put my hands under her underwear as hers go into mine, I feel her. She's wet, really wet. I feel her fingers go into me as mine go into her. I use two and start moving them, I pull back from kiss breathing loudly, she does too. I don't look at her but I move my fingers faster with more pressure, she does the same but she goes faster making me moan.

"Moaning? Already, really?" She laughs breathing heavy and I move my fingers faster into her, I move them hard making her lean against me more. I feel her fingers in me, moving hard. I bite my lip trying to hold back a moan but I fail.

She moans quietly, I smile at it. It turns me on but it makes me proud of myself.

"Moaning alreaβ€”Ah!" I arch my back into her as she moves faster, my legs are going to go from underneath me. I add a third finger moving my fingers faster too.

I look at her and she's biting her lip a little smirking, her cheeks are a light shade of pink. Her pupils are dilated. I move my fingers harder and she leans forward kissing me again.

I gasp into the kiss, my hips buck against her. I moved my fingers harder into her, she moans loudly.

"Oh fuck you!" I press my teeth together hard as my whole body heats up, I was cold just a second ago. I try to keep moving my fingers as I lean my head against hers shutting my eyes. I feel the orgasm, i feel my body tightening and she moves her hand faster. I cry out and she presses her lips to mine, probably to shut me up.

I move my fingers deeper and I feel her tighten. She moves her waist forward onto my fingers, I moan at it. God she's so....

"Shit." She moans breathless as she moves her head falls back. I breath heavily as her fingers come out of me slowly, I take my finger out slower and she swallows.

I take my hand out of her pants, I put my fingers in my mouth. She leans back against the stall looking at me as I suck my fingers. She leans off the stall again gripping my chin and kissing me, her tongue slides into my mouth. I pull her against me again, my hand hurting a little as I squeeze her waist.

She leans back slowly looking at me, she's close. I look into her eyes, noticing the brown and green. She smiles at me keeping her hands on my cheeks and her fingers under my ears. I smile at her smile.

"Hi." I whisper and she laughs dropping her head down.

"God you are strange." She looks back up at me, her eyes are sparkling because of the light.

"Is that good or bad?"

"Good."

"I'm not mad anymore." I smile a little and she snorts.

"Really? I better get back to Alyssa, she's probably wondering where I am." She leans away from me and I take her hand quickly.

"Can...we like both agree not to see other people?" I ask her still holding onto her hand, she grins turning back to me.

"You sound jealous, darling. So much for being able to go without touch." She looks at me and I huff.

"I'm not jealous....I just don't like you being all flirty with other people."

"That's jealousy."

"Okay, you were jealous about me talking to Arabella and willow." I smile and she rolls her eyes.

"No I wasn't. I have nothing to be jealous of."

"Why not? What would you do if I slept with one of them?"

"You wouldn't."

"But if I did?"

"There is no 'if you did', I know you wouldn't because you know better." She keeps looking at me, it is hot as hell in here. I think it may just be her.

"But, so is that a yes? To sleeping with just each otherβ€”it doesn't mean we are dating if you think that's whatβ€”not that I wouldn't like toβ€”I justβ€”"

"It's a yes. I'll sleep with only you, I've only been sleeping with you. Other than the Olivia situation."

"Is that supposed to make me feel special?"

"Yes it is. Now, get your ass back to work before you get fired. When are you available for a second date?"

"Anytime." I smile, I realise I'm still holding onto her hand so I let go putting my hands in my pockets. She nods smiling a little back. We both quickly wash our hands.

"I'll be seeing you soon then." She crosses her arms nodding to me before walking over to the bathroom door. She pulls it open nodding for me to go, she's holding it open for me....

"Don't give me that look, I can be polite sometimes." She says and I shake my head walking out of the bathroom.
