Ethan POV
I'm watching the only escape I could have had, walking round the corner, heading God knows where. Jasmine is clinging onto me like a whelk and won't shut up about this stupid post.
"You don't like me anymore do you? I mean I can find another man. Don't bother calling me again when you're horny." She's a good lay and always available. I'm gonna have to put up with this s**t aren't I?
"Look baby, it's fine." I pull my phone out of my pocket and hit the like button. "I've liked it now. See?" She's jumping up and down, clapping her hands like a f*****g five year old. Do I really have to be seen with this?
I'll just unlike it when I get home. If it shuts her up for a couple minutes it's worth it.
"Baby, I haven't seen you in ages, you should come see me soon." Her hand's trailing all over me, I'm starting to think she wants me to bend her over right here and now.
"Yeah, I've been a busy boy, babe. Maybe I can squeeze you in at some point this week." Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen. Right?
"Well maybe you should drop one of your girls, they're obviously taking up too much of you time." Watch it girl or it'll be you I drop.
"I'm OK Babe, I'll find some time for you." I wink at her, while trying to escape from her death grip. God she's strong for a small girl. "Anyway I gotta go, catch up with a couple of friends." She wraps her arm around mine, tighter.
"Oh, Who? Do I know them?" Nosey b***h!
"No Babe, they're from out of town." I finally break her grip.
"I think you've forgotten something." She puckers her lips, while I roll my eyes and give her a quick peck on the lips.
Right Time to find the girls, I head in the direction I saw them leaving, glancing in all the windows of the shops as I walk past.
For f**k's sake, I must have been around this whole centre twice and still no sign. I've been wandering around, trying to decide whether to ditch Jasmine or not, I mean she's a great lay and always around when I want her, but my God she's so clingy. When I first met her, I thought she was a girl who was just up for a bit fun, that's what she said anyway, but that changed pretty quickly. Now I've gotta work out if she's worth the hassle. I'm thinking I might see what happens with Lexi first. It's the quiet one's you've gotta watch out for. Isn't it?
After half hour of walking around and looking like a creep around all the girly shops I recognise those girls coming out of the shoe shop. Christ, How many bags do they have?
"Oi!" They're just ditching me. How do they think I'm getting home? "Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Sophie is the first to turn around, shrugging.
"Home now, but seeing as you're here you can take these for me." She chucks a load of bags in my arms. Have they bought the whole shopping centre? "The big, strong man you are."
"Sexist much?!"
"You left me with that little leech, I thought I was here to help."
"Well look, you're carrying our bags, that's helping. Anyway we thought you may have wanted to let off a bit of steam. And she looked like she was more than willing to help." No doubt she would, if I gave her the chance.
"No. She's royally pissed me off. She's whining on about why haven't I liked her stupid f*****g post. Why does she think it's OK to post that sort of s**t anyway?!" I can feel the vein in my head pounding.
"Calm down, we'll grab a coffee to go, head back to Lexi's and then she can give you nice, long massage with her vast new collection of oils." Wait, What?
"Yeah, I'm starting my own business, did you not know? Straight after sixth form I'm gonna open my own massage parlour. A real upmarket place, focus on the wrinkly old business men." I'd be a regular after seeing you in those clothes today baby girl.
"So how much for extras?" Don't forget to laugh Ethan, remember it's just a joke! I'll take her bags so it takes the attention off whatever my face might be saying. Why am I like this with this girl?
"Thanks. Why, who you asking for?" Me, Me, Me!
"well, it's always useful to know these things." I nearly walk into Sophie, as she stops right outside the coffee kiosk and takes the rest of Lexi's bags from her.
"God, will you two stop flirting and hurry up. I need a coffee."
Lexi places the orders, mooning after this little boy behind the counter. He's all smiles at her. I have to hold in a laugh when Sophie whispers in her ear, I didn't hear what she said, but by the way Lexi jumped and started blushing I think it was something about the way she was watching him. At last he's actually finished making the coffees. He definitely wants to get into Lexi's knickers, can we just get out of here now? Sophie hands out the coffees and heads out towards the car and I'm not far behind her.
We get back to Lexi's and being the big, strong man that I am, I carry all the bags up to Lexi's room. While Sophie faffs around with something in the kitchen. She comes into the bedroom with arms full of snacks and drinks, dumping a roll of binbags on the bed. I shake my head as she offers me a bag of crisps and bottle of coke.
"I really gotta go. You know, got ladies to keep happy." I look at Lexi to gauge her reaction. Nope, it doesn't look like she gives two shits.
I head out the door, along the long hallway and down the stairs, pulling my car keys out of my back pocket as I open the heavy white front door.
When I get in I crash onto the sofa. Between Jasmine and carrying those damn bags, I'm f*****g exhausted. Why do girls enjoy this? Callum comes in smirking, seeing me dangling half on, half off the sofa.
"Hey bro, had fun today have you?" He just about gets it out of his mouth, before laughing.
"I've been shopping with your girlfriend."
"So I hear, something about helping her best friend out. And she's just a special friend."
"It wasn't as bad I was expecting."
"So I hear." He says, letting out a small chuckle. "I was told to start running you a cold shower."
"I don't know what it is about this girl, but she's just...different."
"So what's so different about her then?" That's not an easy question to answer.
"She's just different, I don't know what it is. She always seemed like this quiet little bookworm, who dressed in all these layers, hiding her body, then I meet her properly and she's just like. Wow. What do you know about her?"
"Sophie's mentioned her a couple of times, usually when she gets calls from her. I think she has a rough love life, let's guys walk all over her. You know you go there, you better watch your back, Soph's not one you want as an enemy, and she's very protective over Alexis."
"You seem to know a fair amount about Sophie's best friend. Do have a lot of heart to hearts then?" Now it's my turn to laugh. I think Sophie might be a little more than a special friend.
"I like Sophie, she's easy to talk to and she don't go on about all that girly bollocks. She just looks out for her friend, from what I can gather she's the only one Lexi's got. She's like a sister to her." I think he actually likes Sophie. "Are you considering going there with Lexi then? Sophie told me she can get quite... attached."
"I'm considering it, but I got a feeling she might not be as easy to win over as normal girls, I think she's gonna make me work for it."
"Well Sophie seems to think Lexi's coming around, she says she's been watching her and all the signs are there, that you're in with her." Wait, she's coming around? The girl's got a good poker face. " At least you won't need to bring any condoms, with her little stash." He gives me a wink, it's kind of creeping me out.
"How the f**k do you know about that?"
"I hear things. Sophie's forever raiding it." Now enough of the interrogation on me.
"So you and Sophie. I though it was just casual?"
"It was to begin with, but like I said, she's cool. We've been on a few dates and we're trying to be exclusive. But it's new for both us, so baby steps." He runs his hands through his cropped, brown hair.
"And what about Jasmine? I hear you ran into her?"
"Don't even ask. I'd be long gone if she weren't such a good f**k. She's turning all psycho. She posted this picture last night..." That reminds me. I take my phone from my Jeans pocket. Time to unlike this s**t.
"I saw. Sophie forwarded it to me. I think you should cool it off with her, or s**t's gonna get out of hand."
"I don't know how I can make it any clearer to her, it's like I'm talking to a f*****g wall." I sigh, frustrated. It's exhausting even talking about it.
"Anyway I'm gonna go up and have that cold shower we talked about." I start climbing the stairs.
I wasn't kidding about a cold shower.
