Semua Bab Love, Life, and Other Stuff: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Boy, am I beat!” Brooklyn said as she entered her apartment. “Addy! Shea! I’m home!” she called out to her two best friends and roommates as she hung her purse on the coat rack by the door and pulled the hair tie out of her hair, causing her long blonde hair to flow down her back. She shook her head to loosen her hair, kicked off her shoes, and took out her phone to check her texts as she walked over to the couch and flopped down on it, stretching out and putting her feet up on the cushions. “At least you take your shoes off before you put your feet on the couch.” Brooklyn looked up from her phone to see Shea coming out of her room. Her friend and roommate wore a blue striped halter top, which matched her blue eyes, with a denim miniskirt. She had pulled her curly light brown hair up into a high ponytail but left a few strands hanging out to frame her face. Her light brown skin glistened with a golden hue from the sparkly lotion her friend liked to use when she was going out

After sharing an eye roll with Brooklyn, Addy turned to the blonde guy standing next to Adam. He had his phone out and was typing something on it. When he paused, she tapped his arm. “Hey,” she said. “I’m Addy. You’re Jeremy, right?” He didn’t answer, so she leaned in closer and repeated herself in a louder voice. “Hey, I’m Addy. You’re Jeremy, right?” He turned to her with an annoyed look on his face. “Yeah, I’m Jeremy,” he said before turning back to his phone. Addy sighed and rolled her eyes. Then she tapped his arm again. When he turned around to look at her with an annoyed glare, she smiled her sweetest smile at him and asked, “Do you come to this club a lot?” He stared at her for a long moment before shrugging and saying, “I come here now and then with Adam and Ben.” “It doesn’t seem to be your thing tonight, though,” she said. He shook his head, then smiled at her. “I’m sorry about the way I’ve been acting,” he told her, fully turning around to face

Back in their apartment, Shea finished her breakfast and got up from the table. “I’m going to take a long, hot bubble bath and try to forget last night ever happened,” she said. “I don’t blame you,” Brooklyn said, taking one last sip of her coffee before getting up to put her plate in the sink and refill her cup. Looking back at Shea, she asked, “Is it my turn to do the dishes?” She nodded and said, “I did them last night.” Frowning, Brooklyn asked, “Why do you always get that chore when it’s take-out night?” Shrugging, Shea grinned at her friend and said, “Just lucky, I guess.” “Or you’ve got really good timing, and I’m just now catching on,” Brooklyn said, threatening to throw the dish sponge at her. Shrieking, Shea ducked and ran for her room. Brooklyn laughed as she shook her head and turned the water on to wash the breakfast dishes. Once she had finished, she dried her hands and walked back to her laptop, powering it on as she sat down. She set her elbows

After Shea sent Adam a text letting him know they’d made it home safely, she followed it up with another, asking if they’d like to get together again. The friends giggled after she’d sent it, then Brooklyn said, “Okay. We need to make sure our plan is in order before we even think about going anywhere with these scumbags.” Shea and Addy nodded. “First thing, get the guys to agree to another date at the club,” Shea said, holding up her phone. Brooklyn and Addy nod. “Then we will all be equipped with tiny cameras to record everything,” she continued. “We just need to be able to get them on camera while they are putting something in our drinks.” “I think we’ll be able to do that,” Shea said. “I mean, it’s a big club, and if someone has to use the ladies’ room again, I think we’ll be able to sneak up behind them and catch them in the act.” The other two nodded, then Addy asked, “But what if one of them spots us spying on them?” “We can always use the excuse that we were

Once again, Brooklyn was at the table eating breakfast when Addy came out of her room. “Didn’t you go to bed last night?” she asked, shaking her head as she went to the cupboard to take a bowl from the shelf. “Not much,” Brooklyn told her, taking a sip of her coffee. “I was too pumped up about the article and what happened.” A As Addy brought her breakfast to the table, she asked, “Have you seen Shea yet?” Brooklyn looked at her friend and shook her head. “She hasn’t come out of her room yet, but she usually sleeps in on weekends, so I’m not too surprised she’s not out yet,” Brooklyn said. “Plus, I’m sure she’s upset over what happened last night.” Just then, the door to Shea’s room opened, and she came out, fully dressed. “Hey, girls!” she said as she saw her friends staring at her from the table. “What’s on the agenda for today?” Brooklyn and Addy looked at one another, then back at Shea, before Brooklyn said, “Uh, I’m working on my article today.” “And I’m goi
