I Am The Lie That Keeps You Divine

Mandy's POV

-

Tomorrow I leave for Pennsylvania. I'm going to have so much make up work when I come back.

I'm gonna be in Scranton for two weeks. It'll give me time to spend with my family, plus, I'm watching Gwen's not so little one's after the wedding because her and Chris are honeymoon and even if they weren't, I'd imagine they'd like to have the night alone to consummate the marriage.

Zeke doesn't know I'm leaving. I didn't have the heart to tell him. Plus, he'd wanna come with and I don't know how it would go over with my dad if I brought a guy he doesn't know to his wedding.

"Why are you packing?" I heard the familiar bitchy tone that belonged to my roommate, Elizabeth ask.

"My dad is getting married later on this week and I'm leaving tomorrow" I said.

"How long are you gonna be gone?" She asked.

"Two weeks" I said.

"Why so long?" She asked.

"Because I haven't seen my family in two years, and I'm going to watch his future wife's two kids while they go on their honeymoon" I told her.

"Basically you're missing school while you see your family and watch the kiddos while your daddy and their mommy fuck?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes" I said.

"Does loverboy know you're leaving?" She asked, referring to Zeke.

"Not yet" I said.

"Wow, you seem like a great girlfriend" she said sarcastically.

"My dad doesn't exactly know that I have a boyfriend, so I don't want Zeke asking if he can come with because there's a slim chance that my dad will actually like him" I said.

"Awh... Daddy doesn't want his little baby dating?" She said, mocking the fact that my dad is protective. Bitch.

"No, he has no problem with me dating, I've just had horrible luck with guys" I said.

"Maybe, if you'd put out more, you can actually keep a guy" she said. I glared at her.

"For your information, I've had a boyfriend for two years, I've had a boyfriend for six months and I've been with Zeke for a year" I said.

"Time's a tickin', it's only a matter of time before he decides he can do better" she said.

"Look bitch, I know I don't have my legs wide open to every guy, have my tits hanging out to get a guy's attention or have daddy issues but I can sure as hell keep my man happy. You have absolutely no room to talk. Every time you bring a guy over, it's a different guy. So please shut the hell up" I snapped.

"Monogamy isn't realistic, Amanda" she said.

"I don't care what you believe, but I'm pretty sure that you have herpes and two c-sections" I said. She looked at me and burst into tears. I smirked.

"Speaking of my boyfriend who loves me very much, he's outside, has Chinese food and several kisses waiting for me" I said before walking out of the dorm.

I walked out to the parking lot and met my boyfriend at his car.

"Hey, baby" he greeted. I grinned at him.

"Hey, Zeke" I said before kissing him.

"You need to shave" I said.

"Awe... But I'm irresistible when I have some scruff on my face" he said.

"Not with that hair-do" I said.

"You've never seen me with facial hair, though" he said.

"Do what you want" I shrugged.

"Yay! Anyway... What has my lovely girly-friend been up to?" He asked as he handed me my food. It was sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. I opened it up and began eating it.

"Packing" I said.

"For what?" He asked.

"I'm going back home tomorrow for my dad's wedding" I told him.

"When were you gonna tell me this?" He asked.

"Today. I just couldn't bring myself to do it before today" I replied.

"How long are you gonna be gone?" He asked.

"Two weeks" I stated.

"How am I gonna live two weeks without my girl?" He asked.

"You'll manage" I said.

"Who am I gonna watch movies with and make out with. Or you know... Netflix and chill with..." He said. He did not just say 'Netflix and Chill' did he?

"Your dick can live two weeks without me" I said.

"Can we... You know... Do stuff tonight?" He asked, trying to be smooth.

"Not tonight, my flight leaves at four o'clock in the morning. When I get back... I'll do anything, and I mean anything you want me to do" I said, trying to make the last part sound sexy, but failing horribly.

He smiled weirdly. Oh god. I can't imagine what's going through his kinky little brain of his.

"When you're in Pennsylvania, all I ask of you is that you don't talk to any of your ex-boyfriends" he told me, holding my hand.

"What if I do? What if I'm friends with one of them? Do you not trust me?" I asked.

"It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust them. They did something to become your ex and I don't want them to try to steal you away from me" he said.

"One of my exes is gonna be at my dad's wedding" I said.

"What did he do to become an ex?" He asked.

"We weren't supposed to be together, so my dad forced us to break up, and my ex refused to take me back" I said.

"Why weren't you guys allowed to date?" He asked.

"He's my dad's best friend and he's in my dad's band" I said.

"Oh... How did you two end up together?" He asked. Someone's a little insecure...

"Well, when I met him, I was thirteen and I thought he was annoying as fuck, so I hated his guts and he hated mine. But, after a tour, I was their merch girl by the way... My dad forced us to spend a couple days together and learn to get along, and we hooked up because we got so mad at each other that we both got turned on. We kept that under wraps, nobody knew. Then when we went on our next tour, I was attracting the attention of a lot of guys from the other bands and he got jealous, but one night we had a staring contest to see who has to leave the back lounge and stuff happened. Then we both got in trouble because my dad found out. It was whatever, then I met a guy named Mike and dated him to avoid getting feelings for my ex. My ex kissed me because Mike and I weren't technically dating. Then when I got drunk with Mike and my ex found out, he was trying to turn me on by telling me that I'm a bad girl who needs to be punished- I would've gone through with it if it weren't for the fact that I was with Mike at the time. But after that tour, around Christmas time, Mike broke up with me for his ex and Ryan, my ex, put his immaturity aside and said he liked me and comforted me after the break up. Soon after that, we started dating and did a horrible job of sneaking around" I explained.

"I'm glad we don't have to go through all that trouble to be together. I'm glad you're mature now. You sound like you were a teenager then" he said.

"I was nineteen and twenty years old" I said.

"Seriously, I don't care if there's no bad blood between you and Ryan, I don't want you guys talking. If he's that promiscuous when you're in a relationship, then I don't trust him. I understand that he punched your V-Card and all but you're mine and only mine" he said, gripping my hips.

"Getting jealous are we?" I asked.

"Nope, just very protective of my lady" he said.

"Whatever you say, babes" I said. He kissed me on the lips.

He handled that a lot better than I expected...
