Getting Back at 'Mr Right'

Check It Out

I awoke in the morning with a pounding head, and a hazy memory. Keeping my eyes closed, I tried my best to remember the events of the previous evening. The way Lucas looked, where we went, what we did, how I got home. The first three I could picture easily, but the last one was a little harder. Getting into Lucas’ car was there, but I don’t recall going into the apartment building.

Deciding it was time to face the bright sun that would without a doubt be shining through my window, I opened my eyes and looked straight up at the ceiling. Shocked at the intensity, I squinted them until they adjusted to the change. I felt a weight over my chest, and looked down, wondering what it could be. At that very moment, last night’s events hit me with full force and I found myself placing my palm over my mouth in surprise. I couldn’t believe what I’d done and knew I was a complete idiot.

The weight, was an arm. My bright green eyes travelled up and ultimately rested on Lucas’ sleeping face, blissfully unaware of where he was or what had happened. Slowly, I tried to pull his arm up and off of my body, only to have him hold on tighter and pull me close to his body. A deep blush rose onto my cheeks and I tried moving, but it was no use. I’d have to resort to violence.

I pulled my arm forward and squeezed my eyes shut, before shoving it back and into his chest. I knew I had woken him up as I heard a grunt and a wheeze come from behind me.

“Milly?” Lucas’ voice was husky and deep, must be his morning voice.

“Yeah, morning” I said shyly, not knowing how he would react. “Can you let go of me now?”

He muttered a little apology and quickly released me from his grip, leaving me feel slightly colder without him there. What was wrong with me?

I slid on some shorts and my hoodie, before turning to face Lucas, who was now up and getting dressed in the clothes he was wearing the night before. He seemed irritated, but I let it go, not wanting to anger him any more. Turning back the other way, I looked in my full length mirror, and I looked like crap. My hair was all over the place and the perfect make up I had on last night had smudged around my eyes, giving me the minor resemblance of a panda.

“I’ll just be going” Lucas told me from behind, so I turned around to find him standing close to me, his breath mingling with my own.

“Er, okay then” My voice came out breathless and stuttering, something I wasn’t expecting to happen. “I’ll call you?” I didn’t know what to say in this situation, so just said the first thing that came into my head.

Nodding his head, he seemed happy with my comment, his lips curving into the smile I’d become used to. Even so, it was still beautiful. He walked over to me and leaned closer, my heart stopping and butterflies beginning to swarm in my stomach. Was he going to kiss me?

I closed my eyes and waited for his lips to meet mine, but instead found them on my cheek, with a light peck.

“See you later, Milly” Lucas said with a smile, and walked around me out of the door.

I stood still until I heard the elevator doors close, then ran as fast as I could to Kaira’s room, banging my fists against her door.

“I’m here, idiot!” Kaira shouted, sounding as though she was in the living room.

As soon as I heard her voice, I sprinted to her and leapt onto the sofa, breathing heavily from my ‘exercise’. She was watching a ‘Friends’ rerun with her lips curled into an amused smile, and I automatically knew that it wasn’t the programme she was finding so funny.

“Fancy telling me why Lucas just walked out of your room and then the apartment?” Slowly, she turned to face me with a knowing look.

I buried my face in my hands, horrified with myself. “Kaira, what have I done?”

“What do you mean what have you done? There’s nothing wrong with having a little fun Milly!”

Surprised, I whipped my head up to look at her, finding a seemingly proud expression on her face. Something I definitely wasn’t expecting. After discussing what she meant, I discovered that she thought it was a good thing what happened, it meant I had relaxed and had some fun. This is what Kaira wanted.

“I didn’t want you to call him just because of the list Mills, he’s obviously a great guy that you can have a great time with, and that’s exactly what you need right now” She placed her hand on my back and smiled lightly at me. Unconsciously, I returned her smile, and found myself happy that I had taken the time to go out with Lucas.

“You know, we haven’t really talked through the list properly” I told her, getting a sudden wish to go into it with her. It was important that we knew what we were doing.

Understanding, Kaira got up and opened her bag, pulling out the folded paper, before she walked back to where I was sat. She opened it up and placed it on the glass coffee table in front of us so that we could both see it.

Write his number and a message on his car (For funsies)

Kiss someone in front of him (Jealousy)

Put his details on a relationship site for men (Just too funny if you ask me!)

Trick him (You know what I mean;))

Date someone close to him

Send ‘stalker’ notes to his house (Haaaaaa!)

Put pink hair dye in his shampoo (Used this on someone before, worked a charm)

Let him see you looking incredibly hot so he knows what he’s missing;)

I burst out laughing at the little notes Kaira had written at the side of some of them, remembering how proud of the list she was when she’d made it. I turned in my place to face her head on just as she did the same where she was.

“What do you think then?” She asked me, curious as to whether I thought it was too cruel.

“Trick him? Really, Kaira? You’re joking right?” I asked her, knowing that she meant every word she’d written.

“Just think about the look on his face when you turn up at his place, looking drop dead gorgeous, and telling him you want one more night of fun with him. Then BAM, you walk out” Wiggling her eyebrows, Kaira grinned wickedly and clapped her hands together. It was clear, she was mental.

“It wouldn’t work” I shook my head, sure that it wouldn’t.

“Oh, my dearest bestie” She threw her arm over my shoulder and shook her head slightly from side to side. “But it would.”

Laughing, I shoved her arm off me jokingly and looked back down at the incomplete list - Kaira said she was still thinking of things to add - analysing everything she’d put down.

“Stalker notes?” I questioned her.

“Yeah! You know, like ones that will seriously creep him out! It would be so funny!” And to prove her point, she clutched her stomach and started rolling around on the floor, which eventually made me join in with her.

After about five minutes of solid laughing, we calmed down and Kaira picked up the list. She stared at it intently for a while before looking back up at me with that signature evil smile.

“Milly my dear, I know exactly which one to do next.”
