Chapter One

Alice is getting impatient. I can't tell if she's being annoying on purpose or simply doesn't realize how infuriating the sound of her acrylic nails tapping on the table is. "Eve, baby let's go!" she calls for the umpteenth time. I pull my gaze away from the hallway mirror to tell her I was just fixing my lipstick. This isn't quite the truth, I was scanning every pore, hair folicle, and cell on my face to make sure any imperfections were concealed, hidden or blurred and I looked perfect."You always look put together even when you're ugly crying you manage to look like a super model. Now stop checking ourself out and let's go!" she says."Alright, Alright, Alright. I'm coming!" I say not even trying to hide my annoyance. Even though we've been roomates and best friends for years and she knows all of my quirks inside and out, she still gets pushy with me which often triggers my anxiety but I love her and I am excited to get out of our little apartment and have some fun. Alice and I

Chapter Two

I relented. Alice what right. I'd sworn off flirting for too long and she was right, they were hot. We all sat down together and began talking and it was then I was able to take a better look at Ryan and Bentley. They both looked similar but also vastly different. I could tell from Alice's body language that she definitely preferred Bentley, which was fine by me because I defintely found Ryan to be the more attractive of the two. "You two have been making some good money tonight, maybe it should be you thats buying us drinks," Bentley jested with a giant grin stuck to his face.My body immediately tensed. So they had been watching us. I looked at Alice who seemed entirely unbothered. "You wanna play?" she asked. "Sure, but not for money," Ryan said. At that, Alice immediately said to count her out, but I was so enamored with him and wanted any excuse to be around him longer that I asked if he didn't want to play for money, what did he have in mind. His eyes met mine and he held my

That kiss! Oh my god. I should have grabbed him and pulled him in the car with me and took him home. His lips were so soft and I couldn't help but smile and bring my fingertips to my lips desperately clinging to the feeling. I was overcome with lust and regret at not taking him home with me when I had a sudden realization. I never got his phone number and he said he would pick me up on Sunday but he has no idea where I live. He may not even text or call. He make the date part of the bet but that didn't mean he was genuinely going to call. I hoped he would. A few minutes later the Urber pulled up outsid my apartment complex. I thanked the driver and exited the car and made my way up to the apartment never taking my mind off that kiss. I hopped in the shower and got ready for bed. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard the front door open. Alice must be home. From the sound of it Bentley didn't come with her, which was surprising. I thought for sure I'd hear them giggling and th

Chapter Four

After Charlie died I shed my extroverted skin and became a full fledged introvert completely withdrawing myself from everything and everyone. It was the summer after Freshman year of college when the accident happened. Charlie was riding his motorcycle home from work, as he did nearly every night during the summer when someone ran a red light because they were looking at their phone and hit him. After years of begging, pleading and bullying I had finally convinced him to start wearing a helmet, but that day he hadn't worn one and a helmet could have definitely saved his life. Jacob came to see me after the funeral even though we'd been broken up for months at this point but even still he was the only person I wanted to be around. He was the only person who knew Charlie as much as I did. They were best friends. I hardly talk about Charlie anymore. I try not to think about him too often because the pain still feels raw. Once I started to come out of my shell again I became sort of a

Chapter Five

I was still breathless and desperate for Ryan to kiss me when I was shaken from my lustful stupor by Alice grabbing my arm "Hey babes! Are ya'll having fun?" she said with a wink.Of course I was having fun. I was seconds away from making out with Ryan before she cut in. I glanced over at her. She had her ass pressed so deep in to Bentley's front side it was a wonder they weren't screwing right there on the dancefloor. I had to admire her enthusiasm and sheer freedom when he came to her sexuality. I liked sex as much as the next girl, but I wasn't as forthecoming with it like Alice was. She jokingly called me a prude sometimes. Alice used her hand to motion for a drink and I nodded my head. I felt like I needed a cold shower, but a cold drink would do. I told Ryan Alice and I were going to go grab a drink. He said he would come with because he needed one too. As we reached the bar I noticed a group of people sitting at the table staring. Particularily the platinum blonde bombshell

Chapter Six

I was awakened the next morning by what sounded like someone ransacking our apartment. I thought about searching for a weapon, just in case, when my senses finally came around and I realized I could hear Alice. "Where the fuck is it?" I could hear her say. I begrudgingly got myself out of bed and grabbed my favorite pink, fuzzy robe and exited my room. I could see Alice ripping her room apart and it looked like a tornado had gone through the whole place. "Alice what is going on?" I asked, concerned. She whipped her head around to look at me, I don't think I've ever seen her look so frazzled. "Have you seen my phone or my clutch? I can't find it anywhere and I'm panicking," she said. "Didn't you have it when we got in the car last night?" I asked.She said she couldn't remember. Which was fair...I honestly didn't remember much from last night except that damn Barbie wanna-be and Ryan. They weren't important right now. I told Alice I'd call her phone and we'd figure it out. I tur
