The chapter is a bit random, I know.
Thursday, 3rd November
~Locked out of heaven by Bruno mars
"I don't feel like it." I put the pizza on the table. "No one's forcing you," said Zeth sitting with the whole group at the table in Valide while I have to work.
"But I. You'll come." I put the drinks in front of everyone. "But I have to work not like you." I hissed at Quinn, who took the coke.
"It'll be fun, I'll ask my uncle to get you off early and boom party at Neyla." I really don't have the nerve to go to a party. If my former self would hear this, I'd send myself to hell, but that's the way it is.
I finish at 6 p.m, then I want to go home as soon as possible because I'm tired. I've only felt better for a day, it should stay that way, so I don't want to rush it.
"My answer is no. I'm going home, I need the money. You can go." I told Quinn, Mason, Zack, and everyone else who was there.
I looked at Zeth who just nodded at me in understanding, I smiled. The tray was held close to me. "Who should drive you?" "First, there are trains and second, I can ask Micheal, he's still here."
"So it's happening in the car now?" she rolled her eyes and got a punch from me. "What in the car?" Mason asked. I looked at Ares, whose jaw clenched slightly as he drank the beer I secretly gave him.
"Well, you know," Quinn said. She gets another hit from me. She should shut up. "You have something with the other waiters?" asks Zack. "Michael? I thought it was over." Dylan suddenly said.
I saw Ares tense up more. Why am I even looking at how he reacts. "It only happened one more time. Now, don't make such a big deal out of it. It's not like we've got four hookers at the table."
"Say the one who fucks with the waiter." Mason drank his coke. "That was only once." he looked at me. "Maybe three. I don't have to justify myself. I don't even want to know how many you had that week."
I walked away from the table just behind the counter where Micheal was making a cocktail because he was stepping in for the bartender today.
"Isn't that the guy who was here with Ashley?" I looked at him shaking the cocktail. "Yeah he is, and the others are his friends, but they're okay."
"If you say so." He shook it into the glass and then gave it to the customer. "Would you like something?" Then he leaned in the same way I did, our hips touching. "No, I have to stay sober."
"Bad week?" I nodded and laid my head on his shoulder. "It's only going to get worse. Another exam and a sports festival on Saturday that I didn't even want to do." "I can put on a wig and say I'm you." I smiled.
"Nice try, but I don't think a thing between the legs wouldn't be beneficial for me." He laughs. "Sorry." we both turned our heads when a customer ordered from Michael, and I continued where I stopped.
But today there is much to do.
--
I was finally off work. I changed and went outside, where I was supposed to be waiting for Micheal. It was cold and dark outside. Slowly I notice that winter is approaching, and that autumn is here.
I was looking around when I saw a car with a man leaning against it smoking. Nobody ever parks behind the restaurant except for Mr. Greco and the employees, including Michael of course.
I went slightly closer as he quickly turned to me. "Finally, I thought you were off at 6 p.m, it's already 6:16 p.m." It was Ares.
"What are you doing here?" "Drive you home." I raised my eyebrow. "But I said, Michael..." "I didn't feel like partying, and now I'm here, so get in." he drag on the cigarette again, threw it on the floor, and walk to the door.
"I won't let you order me anything, if I get in, I'll go with my voluntarily. But I have to let Micheal know." I went back into the path to do exactly that. "Don't you have a phone?" I heard Ares call behind me. "Ever heard of respect?" I yell back.
I quickly ran in and then told Micheal that I was going with someone else. Of course, he took it easy, said goodbye to me, and I was on my way out.
I ran to Ares's car when it was already on, as it had red lights on the back on. I got in and buckled up. Ares drove off immediately.
"What about you and that waiter?" he drove down the street. "Nothing? We had sex a few times. Can't you say you were better."
"I didn't plan to. Only you act hypocritical, you know that I'm the villain here." "I never acted hypocritically. Should I die as a virgin, or wait until someone who deserves it takes it from me? Please, I already had that."
"Have you lost it with him?" "Have we become friends, to talk about something like this?" "We're not been friends for a long time. I'm just being nice, and you try not to freak out at everything I say because you hate me." Where he's right, he's right.
"My first time was with the guy I trusted more than anything in the world. Well, it turned out that he only wanted one thing from me. And before you tell me, you are so smart blah blah. Yes, I had a premonition and I also knew what he was like, just like you. I naive piece thought I could fix him" I leaned back.
*
"That's really naive." "Well, I just noticed that some people can't be fixed, they are broken and will stay broken forever."
"And you? When did the good woman catcher lose his virginity?" I changed the topic, "15 there was a girl in my class." "Did you leave her afterward?" I don't know if I really want that answer. Luckily, he doesn't answer either.
He turns the music up louder. Bruno Mars locked out of heaven is playing right now. My finger tapped my thigh to the rhythm.
"You seem to be in a bad mood." which makes me happier. "Not true." "And you're saying I'm lying?" "Come on, Bruno Mars is a vibe."
"I hate Bruno Mars." I sucked in my breath, aghast. Who doesn't like Bruno Mars? What else does he like?
But then I saw his finger on the steering wheel. He doesn't like Bruno Mars, he totally feels the music. "You're lying again. You idiot."
"I don't want to hear anything from you highly intelligent, smartass." "Any idiot can say that you like him, your fingers feel the music." I turned the music even louder.
"Cause your sex takes me to paradise
Yeah, your sex takes me to paradise
And it shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah" a little smile came on Ares's lips. I don't know why I'm making a fool of myself here, I'm embarrassing myself from start to finish, but I don't care. I can't say the reason.
"Cause you make feel like
I've been locked out of heaven
For too long
For too long" he started singing just like me. I like that one rivalry thing between us, it's like we don't care so much about each other, we can do everything we want.
I just grabbed something lying around in the car and used it as a mic. Ares sang next to me. We made it so bad, but also charming.
"Ohhohoho
Yeah yeah yeah
Can't I just stay here?
Spend the rest of my days here?" Ares now looked at me and I at him because he finally stopped. We looked at each other so intensely that I couldn't maintain this kind of eye contact and swallowed.
"Okay enough, otherwise I'll get hoarse, someone has to challenge you in class." He turns off the car and when I wanted to get out, so I could go home, but we were somewhere completely different. In a park.
"I wanted to go home! Don't you know which way or what?" I snapped at him as my smile faded. "Come on." Ares got out, took his backpack, and walked around the car to open the door on my side.
"It wasn't agreed that way. I wanted to go home, and I still do, so get your ass in here and drive me."
"Drive yourself." I laughed sarcastically and hit him lightly on the brow. "You're so fucking funny."
"Come on now and stop being so..." "Stubborn, yeah, blah blah." I got out but went the other way. "Where are you going?"
"Home. Since someone is too inconsistent to do it." "It'll only take a few minutes," he called after me. I stopped and turned around.
"If it only takes a few minutes, why didn't you do it afterward?" "Because it's more fun with two." this boy is going to kill me.
"10 mins. Then I want to go home." "Oh, take it easy, smartass, we only need five." I walk to Ares as we went together to the one large fountain that was lit.
"And now? Don't tell me you want to make a wish." God give him a brain. "No, I'm not a child." Ares unslung his backpack and then pulled out exactly two bottles of dish soap. "For what... Ares no." He opened it and my thought came to reality.
"You idiot." "Too late, smartass should have thought faster." is he fucking kidding me? "Give me the bottles." "Want to join?" he's really doing half the bottle in the fountain, and it's not looking good. The foam builds up quickly due to the water.
If there are cameras here, or anyone finds out we were this, I'm dead. "Don't do that." I tried to take the bottle out of his hand, but Ares went into the water.
"You're a stupid, kid. Stop it. I'm getting in trouble because of you." He keeps healing the bottles upside down, the dish soap goes in. "Then come in."
I took off my shoes and then put my socks in. I tried to get to him quickly if only this boy wouldn't walk away. "You're such a kid." When I went further in, I got the bottle, but it was already empty, everything around us was full of foam.
"My mother is killing me." "No one says she needs to know, now chill, smartass." He took a handful of foam and blow it in my face.
"You idiot." He laughed at me. I took foam in my hand and wanted to take revenge, but Ares already started to move.
I felt like a fool, but we laughed. I laughed. We foamed our faces. Until Ares stopped and I foamed his face.
"We should go." I raised my eyebrow and saw a police car. "Shit." we ran out, and I quickly grabbed my things, then ran to the car.
If I come with the police home, I'll be dead. "Hurry up," I yelled at Ares. He picked up his backpack, opened the car, and got in the same way as I did. "Drive!" this boy really needs to speed up.
We drove away at a fast pace. I looked from the side mirror if they saw us, but apparently, they weren't behind us.
I sat back, exhausted and foaming on my hair. "This is the last time you do that shit to me," I warned him.
"It was fun." I rolled my eyes and turned to the window, I couldn't help but smile, but turned around, so he wouldn't see it. It was really fun.
We finally arrived at my house. "Thanks for driving." I got out and walked to the door when Ares called the nickname he gave me. "Smartass." I turned and saw him coming toward me.
He put a hair tie from me in my hand. I must have lost it again. Dylan's right, I should really pay attention and try not to lose some more. "Thank you." I looked up at him where Ares was already looking at me as if predicting our eyes would meet at that moment.
"You're not as shitty as I thought." He stroked a hair behind my ear, which I didn't block this time. "Neither do you." I smiled.
It was quiet, only the engine of the car was running in the background. Suddenly, Ares came closer to me. Not with steps, but with his head. He came close to me, so our lips could touch. My heart beat faster.
My body was frozen. I felt something in my stomach, I got nervous. For a short time, I also fed. Don't forget who he is. My inner voice came at the right time. Before our lips could even touch, I gently pushed Ares away from me with my hand on his chest.
"Rivals forget?" I didn't look at him and took my hand away. "Yeah, rivals." it didn't sound as convincing to him as it did from me. What is he doing anyway? He was about to kiss me. You him too!
Shut up. I did not want. I was just overwhelmed, it's been a long time. In addition, he is what I don't even want. Male whore which had every girl probably twice, I can't do that again. I won't either.
It's exactly what I don't want, and just because we're talking more, doesn't mean it's what it is. Rivals and no friends, I must not lose sight of my goals.
I walked home with a quiet hello. My mother complained at first about why I was full of foam and my hair was so sticky, I only thought of what almost happened. What should never happen.
