Weak For Him || Darkness Book #1 ✔️

Chapter 2 | Trust

Stacey's Pov

Waking up with a pounding head is never fun. Why do I do this to myself?
I depend on Mia to not let me get to drunk and she fails miserably every time. I really need to stop letting her talk me into drinking so many jägerbombs. She never feels like this.
Sitting up slowly as I lay next to Mia, I look at her sleeping soundly and roll my eyes that she looks fabulous even when asleep. I bet I look like I've been dragged through a bush.. backwards.
I climb out quietly and creep out of the bedroom and head towards the bathroom. I stand looking at myself in the mirror.. and yep, I look like shit. My brown hairs wild and my makeups smudged all around my eyes so I look like a panda and not a cute one.
I pause, hearing talking on the other side of the door but I can't make out what there saying.. Mia must be on the phone.
Forgetting about it with a shrug, I switch on the shower and step in once I've gotten undressed. I need to wash away the monstrosity of lastnights antics.
Running my hands through my long hair, I scape my long nails through my scalp enjoying the feeling before reaching for the shampoo and squirting a good amount into my hand and lathering up my hair. I make sure it's clean throughout as I think about lastnight. I actually dislike being that drunk, men touching me and I'm to drunk to realise or be bothered as I get lost in the music. I scrape harder as I rememeber their hands on me my hips, my waist and a shiver runs through me while I begin rinising out the shampoo. Then conditioning it with more product trying to forget everything.

I look at myself again fresh from my shower and seeing the real me, bare face, hair down, clean and shiny Stacey as I stand in my towel and brush my teeth.
I wanna see Liam, I hope and pray every day that I'll run into him again. That he'll stop running from me when I know that's not what he really wants, but he's stubborn.
I spit and rinse my mouth before drying it and sighing. I never get what I want..
I push past the depressing feelings and walk out back into the bedroom.
"Hey, how you feeling" I ask Mia even though I know the answer.
"Great, lastnight was fun babes" she says slipping out the bed and adjusting her clothes better.
"Yeah for you maybe. It's not fun having all the guys touch me" I tell her raising a brow but she just laughs as she comes closer and hugs me.
"I love you though. I'm gonna go shower. You get ready" she says pointing to my clothes she'd moved. With a nod at her, she exits the room and I head over to my things and relax my towel to dry the rest of my body better.
I moisturise after with my vanilla scented cream and quickly pull on fresh white french knickers and the matching bra. I look at myself in the full length mirror, just admiring, wondering what other men would find attractive about me. I have a good flowing handful of DD boobs and a big round ass. But I'm also tall. Five foot nine. What am I missing? Am I too tall?  Sighing, I turn away and begin to get dressed. I don't want them!
Quickly brushing through my hair, I pull it back into a high ponytail and wrap my bobble tightly.
I put my socks and trainers on then tie them up before throwing all my stuff from lastnight into my weekend bag.
"Mum's here, she wants to know if your hungry?" Mia asks me walking in and I shake my head.
"No thanks, I need to go home babe" I tell her and she sighs.
"Already babes. We've just woken up" she says and I look at my phone then back to her.. 11:17am
"Okay, I'll have breakfast" I sigh and she grins happily and walks further into the bedroom to dry and get ready too.

It's been nearly an hour and Mia's only just finished getting ready. She doesn't even need to go all out but she never listens to anyone.
"You look good babes if only I had the energy to do all that everyday" I say and she just smirks shaking her head.
"You're naturally stunning, you don't need all this anyway" she tells me and I laugh.
"I wish" I mutter rolling my eyes and getting up. I'm actually hungry now.
"Okay, lets eat" she says and leads me out the bedroom, and down the hallway into the kitchen where her mums sitting with food plated up for us.
"Hi, Tina. Thanks" I tell her mother and she smiles up at me. She's not much of a chatty person. Which is fine by me.. But, when did she get here? Was it her on the phone?
Eating the now lukewarm English breakfast, I take as much down as I can and leave the rest feeling full and slightly sick.
"What we doing today?" Mia asks me around mouthfuls of scrambled egg.
"Whatever you like. I need to go home though, I told my mum I'd be back today" I tell her and she nods humming as she eats.
"Let's do something different" I tell her. I'm bored of shopping and eating out. I need some adventure in my life. She jumps up suddenly and smirks.
"We need a party" she says and kisses her mum and grabs me as she leaves. I pick up my bag and follow her out. Really?

Arriving at my house with Mia after getting an Uber, we walk in laughing. I didn't want to drive hungover. I hate it.
"Mum, I'm home" I call out closing the door behind us.
"Kitchen, come in here I have something for you" she calls back and I'm intrigued to say the least.
"What isit?" I ask walking in and she slides a wad of cash across the table to me.
"Your dad stopped by after you left. He said to give you this and hopes to see you soon" she says and rolls her eyes unimpressed. My dad -Patrick Swan- is a dead beat, big time gambler. He cares more for the games he plays than his damn children. So we don't have a relationship. He comes around once a month and drops off money for me and my sister - Macey. We get five hundred each to do what we want with. I take it obviously, I need the cash till I can find a job but still, he's a fucking joke.
"Oh right, thanks mum" I tell her picking it up and turning to leave for upstairs.
"Did you have a good night with Mia?" she asks and I turn back to her and smile.
"Yeah it was good. She's here" I tell her and Mia pops her head in.
"Hi Miss Bloom" she says to my mum making me chuckle.
"Mia hunny, I've known you for far to long for you to be calling me that still. It's Lyndsay, please" mum says to her with a smile.
"Sorry.. Lyndsay" she says quickly, blushing a little.
"We'll probably be back late, Don't wait up" I tell her and she nods before I walk out and jog up the stairs.
I head into my bedroom with Mia and I begin looking through my closet to change and pull out light blue, skiny distressed jeans with a white crop top and my white air forces. Looking it over Mia puts her thumps up at me and I smile that she likes it.
Quickly changing, I sit at my vanity and apply my more natural makeup. My eyelashes are already done so I apply a little eyeliner and highlighter.
"Perfect babes" Mia says from behind me.
Brushing my hair I go over it with the straighteners and leave it down flipping it over to give it some more volume.
"Ready?" Mia asks and I look myself over in the mirror grinning.
"Totally" I tell her grinning getting up and walking over to my bed. I put half the money in my purse and the other half in a shoe box I keep to save for a rainy day. Mia knows all about it and I trust her one hundred percent. She's my bestfriend for god knows how many years. She'd never take it.

Now let's go have some fun.
