Chapter 20: Girl Talk

Sorry in advance for this filler chapter. It isn't that bad, but still, I understand.


I opened the door to my house and all of the lights are still off. Hell, it's almost noon. I remove my shoes and walk into the living room. Rose is asleep on the couch, one leg draped over the one side. I laughed and sat down my purse. Snapping the light on, I saw Rose move slightly. I sat down and relaxed. Within minutes, Rose was staring at me.


"Good morning sleepy-head. It's almost noon." She narrowed her eyes at me and I chuckled softly. "What's up, hoe?" She laughed. A little.


"Tired. Groggy. Whats up?" She responded.


"Just got home. Has Mia came home yet?" she nodded a quick no and I became worried, especially at that weird text early this morning. We sat quietly for a few minutes, until we heard the door being unlocked. I walked over to the door to ensure it was Mia, and that she was in one piece.


When Mia walked in, a guy only about an inch taller than her followed. He was all smiles. He had brown hair and brown eyes, and was really cute, but he looked like he felt awkward when he saw me.


"Hey Mia. Glad to see your in one piece." I laughed, walking over to hug her.


"Ha, thanks. This is Kyle. My friend and the bartender." He stepped forward and shook my hand.


"Abella. Mia's roommate, and that turd on the couch is my little sister Rose. I kind of remember you as the bartender, but I barely remember last night, so..." he laughed and shut the door behind him.


"Yeah, you kept asking for more. I tried to get you to slow down," he grabbed the back of his neck and rubbed nervously, "but you threatened my balls, my liver, then my life in very creative ways." I choked on my laughter.


"Oh God I am so sorry!" I laughed. "My dad was a navy seal, so I got his wonderful way of threatening people. Thanks for trying to slow me down." I chuckled again, and he laughed too. Mia left the room to do whatever so I brought him into the living room and motioned for him to sit in the chair. "I like you. So Mia stayed with you last night?" I asked, being nosy.


His face turned a red that I didn't even know existed.


"No, she stayed with some jerk from the bar... and..." he responded but was cut off by Mia.


"I wanted to sneak out before the guy woke up, and I couldn't get ahold of you bitches so I called my new friend Kyle. I went to his house and cleaned up a bit, then came home." I know somethings not right.


"Oh, I see." I wasn't about to confront her in front of Kyle. I looked over at Kyle and he was staring at Mia, standing there with no makeup and hair in a tousled mess, in what I assume are his sweats and T-shirt, staring at her with the cutest gleam in his eye. She didn't even pay attention. He looked over to me and caught me smiling at him and immediately turned red, knowing that I know what he was thinking.


"Well," Kyle said anxiously, "I better get going. Places to go, people to see." God he is awkward sometimes.


"Hey, it was great meeting you. Like I said. I like you. Hope to see you around more." He smiled.


"Likewise. Have an awesome day." He walked towards the door and Mia followed. Right before he got to the door she grabbed his arm and spun him around, and she squeezed into him. She wrapped her arms under his arms and held tightly and rested her head on his shoulder. He stood there stunned for a minute and his arms stayed outwards, and looked towards me. I nodded and mouthed 'hug her' to him and he nodded and put his arms around her nervously. I saw her whisper to him and a small smile form on his face. She stepped away and he opened the door to leave.


"I'll text you later, alright?" he walked out the door and gave her a goofy thumbs up and walked out to his, might I add, HUGE TRUCK. What a cutie?


Mia shut the door and tried to sneak around me.


"What is going on Mia?" I asked sharply. This isn't like her.


"What? Nothing. Like I said. I spent the night with a guy and wanted to sneak out. I called Kyle, he picked me up and now here we are." She was snippy, a normal defense strategy of hers.


"Mia, just tell me what happened. I won't judge." She got pissy and snapped.


"Nothing happened! Why can't you leave it alone?" she literally shouted. I jumped and stared at her retreating figure.


I looked to Rose who was still barely conscious. She stated at me with wide eyes and sat up slowly.


"So, um, Abella. How was your night? Did you fool around with Mr. Boss?" I stared at her but decided to tell her.


"Rose, I don't remember anything so I'm going to tell you what I was told. So I guess Gunner took me home. I told him about Clint and was a hot mess. Like, bad. I told him too much information I guess," I paused, still not ready to tell her about losing the baby. Gunner is the only person that exists that knows. "Then, I guess, he took me to shower. He has a huge shower, and he undressed me, except for my bra and underwear, saying he wasn't going to take advantage of a situation like that. He showered fully dressed and cleaned me. Like, shampooed my hair and messaged my body." I stood up and sat on the couch next to her. I stuck my arm out. "Smell me, I smell like boy." She laughed and smelled my arm.


"He gave me boxers and a T-shirt to put on, and left me to it, and when he came back, I was dressed and unconscious. He took me to bed, changed his clothes and laid down next to me. You know what I realized though?" She turned her head, asking me to go on. "He didn't touch me at all. Didn't put his arm around me or cuddled. I would have felt it." She smiled at my disappointment.


"So nothing happened at all?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.


"I didn't say that. Let me get to the good part." I told her about the whole morning, and the kiss and how magical it was.


"I have never ever felt like that before." At the thought of it, my heart raced.


"That's awesome, I knew by the way you two looked at each other that something great would happen." I smiled, and felt my face flush.


"So how about you and Kane?" I heard her breathing stop. For a moment we sat like that.


Finally, she exhaled.


"What about him?" She asked cautiously.


"I mean, rumor has it, you two were pretty amazing last night." She blanched and stared at me.


"I told you, no boys for me right now. I am sick of 'em. I don't need a man, especially since that jerk flipped my world upside-down. Seriously Abella, not going to happen." I have an idea.


"Well, that sucks. I hear he's crazy about you." I saw her breath catch again.


"Well, that does suck." I smiled knowingly.


One day Kane and her will get together, when she's ready. I will wait for it. And hopefully Mia will come around and tell me what's wrong. If someone hurt her, I will kill them. Until then, I will do what I can to help the two confused women in my life.
