Sooner or Later...You'll Want Me Again

SOL...YWMA [Ch. 25]

Previously: Out of all the pranks we pulled on each other, out of all the teasing we put each through, this is the first time we’ve been in the same bed together and did nothing. Nada. No  sexual touching…not a thing. I have to admit, it’s nice laying here and laughing with Cory, it seems so carefree. I feel disappointment because I can think of the one person who gets to look at his hot bod anytime she wants. I feel disappointment because that same person gets to be the Maid-of-Honor at my bestfriends wedding. I’m disappointed because it seems as though that person is getting everything I want. “Sandy, always one for surprises,” he muttered pragmatically to no one in particular as he looked down at the car in his driveway. He didn’t say anything else as he continued to watch Sandy finally get out of her car and start walking toward the front porch.

Chapter 25

Sandy had an enormous smile on her face when Cory opened the door, but it faltered a little bit when she saw me. I sent a smile and wave her way as politely as I could. She looked back at Cory, smile still on her face, but I could tell she only kept it there so her true feelings wouldn’t show.

She walked inside and put her arms around Cory’s neck, pulling him into a hug and kiss. I began looking at my nails, finding them more entertaining than the duo. Yeah, I most definitely need a manicure. Hmm, what color should I get next?

I began thinking of different colors as I looked down at my nude color nails. Maybe red, or royal blue, or even yellow? I don’t know, but they need an extreme make over. I think I’m going to go with a more natural, rounded shape look this time around. This square shape is nice and they’re not too long, but I want something different.

“…Isyss…” The sound of my name caught my attention. I looked up and saw Cory and Sandy still standing in their same spot. Only this time, they weren’t in an embrace. “So, what have you guys been up to?” Sandy asked, looking between Cory and myself.

“Just enjoying the morning,” I answered vaguely. I watched her nod her head and look away for a second. I can tell she wants more detail, but if Cory wants to tell her, then he will. Or if she asks me for more detail, I will. I mean, it’s not like we did anything, so there’s nothing to hide.

“What are you up to?” Cory asked her while leaning against the wall casually. He placed his hands in the pockets of his pajama pants and waited for her to answer.

“Well, I decided to stop by to see if you wanted to grab some breakfast before I head off to work,” Sandy replied, looking to Cory as she spoke. Something she said peeked my interest.

“Where exactly do you work?” I questioned out of pure curiosity. She looked to me with a proud smile.

“I work downtown at the Providence Newspaper Company. I write for them.  I actually have a pretty popular column in it,” she told be with a little pep in her words. I nodded my head. That’s a pretty impressive job, not to mention she’s doing what she loves.

I notice Cory looking between Sandy and I with a look on his face that almost compared to indecisiveness.  I wonder what’s going on in that head of his.

“What about you? What do you do for a living?” she asked with genuine interest.

“I’m in the modeling industry.”

“Really? That’s amazing! I don’t get into television and magazines that much. Are you famous?”

“Eh...” I trailed off, not wanting to brag about my career choice. “Anyway, I guess I’ll leave you two alone so you can spend your morning together,” I spoke while beginning to walk toward the front door.
