Now and Forever

What really happened...

"Well then deal with it." I then glared at him one more time and turned on my heel, ready to walk away but guess what? This idiot had something else in mind.

He held by my shoulder and spun me around to look at him. For one second I thought he was going to crash his lips down on mine but instead he twitched his right eye, implying that he was irritated.

I must say, I know I'm acting like a bitch but since I've gotten his attention since last week I might as well take advantage of it.

He opened his mouth to say something but closed it immediately and walked out of the room, probably to his study and just left me dumbfounded.

I shook my head to get rid of the disgusting thoughts that had clouded my mind and climbed into bed, the tiredness catching up to me.

I woke up to the blazing sound of my phone ringing loudly on the bedside table.

"Hello?" I groggily said into the phone, my body still half asleep.

"Amelia! What are you still doing in bed?" The sound of Audrey's voice came through the speaker.

"I'm sleeping." I replied and yawned at the end.

"But it's like 11:00 pm, you're usually up by 9:00!" Alexis' voice came through the phone.

"I know I know, I slept late." I sat up, almost awake.

"Why? We're you and Alexander-"

"Oh shut up, would you?! And no, I went out with Bella last night." I replied to Audrey's question and leaned against the headboard, now fully awake.

"Oh, we were just about to ask you if you would go out with us to a club but since you already went, how about... a slumber party!" They both said -screamed- the last part at the same time.

"Aren't we a little old to be having slumber parties?" I giggled at the end.

"What?! What do you mean 'aren't we a little to old to be having slumber parties'?! No we're not and we're having it at your house! So good day, we'll be there by seven, bye!" And like that, they hanged up the phone.

I looked at the phone, flabbergasted at what just happened.

"Ok then, looks like we're having a slumber party." I sighed and whispered under my breath.

"Hello?" Bella slurred into the phone when I decided to call her.

"Hi Bella!-"

"Jesus Amelia!" She cut me off.

"Oops, I'm so sorry,. Anyways, I'm apparently having a slumber party tonight, so you're coming." I said and left no room for argument.

"What do you mean 'you're coming' you didn't even ask if I wanted to come." She said, her voice better now.

"Exactly." I then stood up from the bed and made my way to the closet.

"Okay fine, I'm coming, is that all?" There was some shuffling in the background and I assumed she had sat up.

"No..." and then I told her about everything that happened last night or this morning? Whatever.

"So I was thinking that I should go apologize for acting like a bitch." I explained while choosing out an outfit from my wardrobe.

"What?! No way! You shouldn't have to apologize for what you did! It's what you wanted and that's final!"

I mean, she's right, I shouldn't have to be apologizing just because I wore what I wore or just because I went out with Bella yesterday, I must be delusional... or not?

"Unless..." she trailed off like she was thinking about what to say next.

"Unless...?" I got impatient when she wasn't spitting it out.

"Unless you just want a reason to see him! Oh my god Amelia! I mean, who goes all the way to someone's office just to 'apologize' for something they haven't done wrong and also if they're going to see them at home later on? I'm a genius!" She exhaled deeply after her ranting.

Now that I think about it, she's right. I do just want a reason to see him. I mean, I knew I had feelings for him but to the extent of wanting a reason to drive for 40 minutes just to 'apologize'? is just BS.

"You know what? You're right." I stopped what I was doing and sighed in defeat.

"But you know..." She trailed off. Again.

"What?" I snapped into the phone when she didn't say anything.

"I mean, doesn't mean you still can't go see him, right? What are you doing today?"
