A Ride

Chapter 2

Emelia's POV

* 4:06 pm*
*flashed the screen*
At least that's what I can see with half my eyes open.
Oh my god is it 4 pm?
Shit.
Why didn't Olivia wake me up?
Hesitantly I climb out of the cosy bed and fold my comforter neatly. After brushing my teeth I take a look in the mirror, my eyes and face are puffy from oversleeping. I pull the thin band from around my wrist, gather my hair in a ponytail and head out of the room. I wonder what Olivia's up to. I think to myself maybe she's still sleeping. Or maybe not.

"Oh yeah sure thing babe! See ya" I hear Olivia from the kitchen walking through the hallway, in my furry slippers. Olivia's standing, resting her back against the fridge with the phone in her hand.

"Who was that" I smirked behind Olivia, grabbing an apple from the shelf.

"Oh good morning Em!" She squeaks in a happy tone and turns around wearing a purple see-through top barely covering her small bust and black tights framing her skinny legs.

"What you looking at?" Olivia blurted.

"At least wear a bra Olivia" I chuckled digging my teeth in the apple.

"As if it'll make any difference to my boobs, hahaha"
I choked, as my laugh hit the apple in my throat with the apple juice dripping from the corner of my mouth.
"Jeez em stop being so clumsy."
Both of us guffawed at the remark.

Olivia looks pretty despite being petite. Her curly, blue-dyed locks suit her apple face perfectly. I wonder how is she able to apply all that perfect makeup with those thin arms.

"Hey but at least I don't dress Frumpily like you" She beamed her smile and I instantly regretted the thoughts I had a moment ago for her in my mind.

" I don't dress frumpily" I responded and chewed my apple hastily. I don't dress dull. I mean I know I wear oversized clothes but they're not frumpy.

"Aww em. They are frumpy" Olivia revolted, reading my mind. "Look at your sweatshirt man, I could fit in 3 people in it. Also, you need some tights." She continued buzzing.

"I am okay with my looks Olivia, the sweats are amazingly comfy to me and my pyjamas are heaven," I responded calmly, examining the apple for the thickest portions of the pulp left.

"You forgot those hideous furry slippers," Olivia spoke pointing her index finger to my cute slips. I laughed and threw the left apple body aiming her head, of course missing my aim, I barked "I'll make sure to get you a pair someday" I winked and watched her smile turn into a grin as she flinched from the apple shot.

"Oh and by the way, why did you let me sleep the whole day Olivia! We were supposed to go sightseeing today right?" I retorted and eyed her after pouring milk into my cereal.

"Honey you were sleeping like a panda" She answered as her phone buzzed, her eyes fixed on the phone and nails clicking on the screen.

"Mm is that Erick?" I asked, munching my cereal.

"Ahhh yes. I have a movie date tonight!!" She squeaked widening her kohl eyes.

"Woah. Will you be home tonight? " I asked knowing the answer.

Olivia and I have been friends for almost a year now. We were together in the last year of high school but she moved to Yorkshire last year. I had to stay bc my parents filed a divorce and I had to stay for official reasons. Erick and Olivia have been dating for 3 months. Erick is a sweet and humble guy, well that's what I've observed from one of the facetime I had with Olivia when I was in NYC. Erick and Olivia are the total opposites of each other. I am happy for Olivia to have a guy like Erick in her life. He is extremely good at handling her spontaneous mood swings and crazy loud side.
Eyes still glued on her screen, she responded excitingly
"Nah obviously, Em I won't be home with you studying and reading those horrible novels." I let out a short laugh, shaking my head, I stirred the cereal grains moving the spoon in circular motions with a smile on my lips.
