My eyes searched out for my friend Dean and saw him already sitting down with a small glass on his hand.
"What is up again this time-" I almost laughed when i saw his bored eyes as he stares up at me
"Getting started without me, Alright give me three bottles." I chirped up as i sat down taking the comfort of my seat, This bar reeks of fucking sex. I just love it
I saw him shakes his head slowly but still called out on the bartender to order my wantons. When the bottles came to me i devoured them oh so quickly the acid flowing harshly clogging my arteries
"Can you atleast tell me the reason why you bothered me on 9 pm on a sunday night, And to drink a coldie like an animal." He said as i took halfway of my first bottle and i almost let out a loud sigh of satisfaction
"I met up with my mum." I answered much loudly so he can hear, and he just let out an "oh" understanding the same reason and why.
"Yeah. She was demanding money again, I dont understand why some of her accounts still linked to my dad, They are freaking divorced for almost 10 fucking years."'I ranted out and he laughed at me, His eyes glittering as he watches me oh so carefully
"Is that really the reason, Jo?" He asks in a rather serious voice, And i turned my eyes at him meeting his doubtful gaze
"Yeah no..You know i was just thinking." I started warmly but he cut off me as soon as i paused
"Thinking? Wow didnt know you could actually do that." His joking ass blurted out and i almost smashed my now empty bottle on his big head
"Yeah well are you going to let me talk?" I asked after hitting him maybe 5 times already and he stopped laughing
"Alright then, Please continue m' lady." He says and i just rolled my eyes from his stupidity
"Maybe i should just return on doing what i love the most. I havent been myself these past 5 years and i think im ready to be back." I smiled as i imagined my life before then
He looked at me with his eyerbrows furrowed and his lips twisting into a shrug i almost rolled my eyes at his teasing reaction.
"Is the reason really you miss acting or you just tryna get back with someone-" He let out a chuckle at the end and i hit him with my pink purse
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I said smiling as i look at his eyes twinkles with amusement
"By the way, Karli reminded me to remind you to be by her house at thursday." He mentioned and sips unto his now iceless tequila
"I cant believe shes getting married." I said trying to massage my temples as i feel my self slowly getting dizzy
"Everyone is getting married Jo, i think everyone in our circle of friends except you." He said that made my ears hot
"Well i am happy being unmarried, single is fun i can fuck around and nobody will spank my ass." I shrugged defending myself
"Oh really?" He smirked again raising a brow at me
His eyes linger at me for a moment i stare at him as i realized he seemed to be pointing a guy not far from us i turned my eyes and faced on what he's looking.
The man with perfectly chiseled jaw and pointy looking nose made me think he is not anywhere from here in australia, He looked like he could be a greek god or something.
He is staring at me with a sensual smile and dagger eyes, the lights illuminating his face that i couldnt see him much clearly
"Seemingly hot but not my type." I said facing Dean and he chuckled
"Oh yeah? Why dont you kiss him? Seems into you." He encouraged and i raised a brow looking at him ridiculously
"What?! No! Hes a total stranger, Are you fucking kidding me-"
"Oh come on Jo, Live a little dont you think this no shag thing has been going on for a little while longer, im surprised you aint actin like a madman yet in that condition." He said and i rolled my eyes
"I dont need a wingman plus not everyone is a horn dog like you Dean." I said dismissing him and grabbing my wallet to pay as he groaned
"What the fuck already? Its literally just past midnight we still have time finish this glass first." He groaned again and i laughed sitting down
After was the best fucking thing that has ever happened to me. It made me experience what is like to be appreciated to everyone around me, But it was just all a burst of a bubble. Because after everything my career went out slowly and i just stopped.
It made me think deeply what could my After family be doing right now.
Did Inanna already published her new album? Does Anna been continuously writing new books? Did Roger finally granted his dreams of making lots of comedy films?
And my heart stopped when i remembered the person that i had been caging into the back of my mind as soon as i left Los Angeles.
The night i left his bed and went straight to the LAX like a fucking coward. I can still remember his green orbs dilating into the familiar dark color of lust as he stares into mine. It was still very clear in my head.
"Wait really?" I snapped out of my hurtful thought when i heard Dean exclaimed i can hear a slight doubt on his voice but overall the excitement lacing through it.
"But i just didn't know if acting is just meant for me." I admitted even though i was good at rehearsing my lines i pretty sure i have a bad luck when it comes to improving my acting career
"Why? You were doing so good at toungin with a british boy-"
"Okay shut up and drink with me?" I gave him my sweetest smile and he just laughs clinging his bottle with mine
I tried to keep my posture steady as i walked through our backyard struggling to find my keys with my shaky hands.
"You're out late again." I heard my dad states the rather obvious from the living room, I can hear the sounds of people talking from the tv
"Heyy dad, You're still up wasn't expecting that." I said in awkward tone and had the urge to go running straight on my bedroom so i can avoid his never ending rants
I should probably get an apartment soon, But i wouldn't want to leave my dad alone. Probably he wasn't interested on marrying another woman after mom. I think its safe to say i will live here forever.
"Josie, Can you come down here first please, I need to ask you something." He said rather cooly and i felt something off of my chest. Seems like its my lucky night
I walked back downstairs and went to the living room to greet my dad giving him a kiss on the head. I stood in front of him raising my eyebrows
"How was meeting Elizabeth? Is your mum okay?" He asked at the same time and i let out a teasing groan
"Oh come on i was just curious you know, I havent seen her for a while now-"
"Dad.." I smirked raising a brow and he just sighs in defeat letting out a troubled smile
"I miss your mum." He responded in a sad tone and i just stared at him dumbfounded.
"I don't think you'll ever stop loving her any time soon." I just said quickly before turning my flats to leave and go upstairs
"You just better watch darling." I heard him shouted one last time as i successfully entered my room
I bit my lips and without thinking i reach and fiddle something on my phone.
I heard the familiar sound of ringing waiting for an answer. And then it happened, A smile spreading into my lips when i heard her first Hello.
I miss everything, I miss my life and im finally taking it back.
"Heyy Jamie, Its Jo.."
