A Very Foreign Love

"All good" ; Ch 6

ALANAS POV
It was just after Adrian had dropped me at my house. He was acting so strange.
We were just playing around and having lighthearted fun, or so I thought? Then he basically kicked me out. Did I read the situation wrong? Was it too soon to be joking after what he revealed to me about his past. Oh no I feel so terrible now...
"Me: Hey, did I cross a line back at your house. I really appreciate you inviting me over there and telling me about your past. It seemed like when we were playing around something changed..."
I typed out a paragraph and hit send.
I was scared I over-stepped a boundary.
Maybe he didn't like me tackling him? But he's always touchy-touchy with me.
Not that I don't like it ... but we're just friends-
Ding!
My phone buzzed. I was scared to see what he texted back. I picked up my phone and peaked at it before throwing it back down again.
Instead I grabbed my iPod off of my desk in the corner of my room and turned on one of my favourite songs right now. "High enough" by k flay.
" I don't like anyone better than you,
It's true. I crawl a mile in a desolate place, with snakes just for you. "
I sung trying to forget about my situation.
Ten minutes later I finally gathered the courage and realized it was silly because it was just Adrian. I opened the message from "Russian D*ckbag"- I really should change that.
Russian d*ckbag: "Nah all good."
Oh I'm DEFINITELY not changing that.
"All good."
He practically kicks me out after we were just playing around like I did something terribly wrong, and didn't talk to me the whole car ride back to my house.
But all I get is an "All good"
and I thought our friendship was really getting somewhere.
I rolled my eyes
"Men."
I said aloud followed by a heavy sigh, plopping down on my bed.
After that I drifted to sleep.
I woke up the next day completely disoriented. It was Saturday.
I peeled myself out of bed. I stretched every bone in by body letting out a loud yawn. I rubbed my eyes and got ready to start my day.
I grabbed my phone from my charger and walked into the small bathroom in my room. We weren't an extremely wealthy family but I was an only child so we had a bit of extra money. The doctor told Mom she probably couldn't have any more kids after me so I guess she just stopped trying.
I grabbed my toothpaste and toothbrush from the cabinet and squirted some of the minty paste on my brush laying it back on the marble countertop.
I brushed and looked at myself in the mirror for the first time this morning.
I looked horrendous.
I finally finished brushing and spit.
I made my way to the shower and turned it on, adjusting the temperature right to my liking. Not too hot, not too cold. I stripped my black Nike pros and over sized shirt that I slept in off and took my hair out of the messy ponytail I put it in before going to bed last night.
I laid my phone on the stool next to my shower so I could check it while in the shower. A nice way to ruin my phone but I still need to check snap while I'm showering obviously.
I stepped into the shower.
I lathered my body up with lavender body wash and washed my hair in vanilla shampoo.
Rinnng!!
Someone was calling me?
I picked my phone up.
It slipped out of my hands and onto the floor-
"Shit!"
I screamed out.
"Everything okay in there hunny?"
My Dad asked in concern from outside the bathroom door.
" Yeah I'm fine, just dropped my phone!"
I yelled back.
I retrieved my phone off of the ground.
1 missed call from Adrian.
Ohhh so now he wants to talk to me. He probably wants to hang out, well sucks for him because I'm not going.
         I texted Abby.
      "Me:Wanna go get some coffee or something? Adrians driving me crazy.😒"

        "Abby<3: Trouble in paradise?😉"

    Me: Just friends👍🏻Pick me up in 30. He called me and I need an excuse not to talk to him.

    Abby<3: Omw can't wait to hear the gossip😘

        I finished washing up and stepped out of the shower. There was a trail of coal black mascara under my eyes.
     I grabbed some micellar water and wiped it off with a cloth, better for the environment duh?
         I quickly got dressed. Abby's always early so when I asked for 30, I knew she'd be here in 15.
        I wore a loose white blouse and some cute ripped denim shorts.
