Elizabeth
"Have you considered my offer yet?" May ask me, her eyes vast with expectation as we fold her clothing on top of her bed.
I breathe out through my nose, shutting my eyes and praying to myself that I do not regret saying yes. May can be very feral when attending a concert and sometimes, it gets to me where I turn into May 2.0.
And the hangovers, it kills me!
It doesn't help that May can deal with a hangover yet, I agree to go with her to concerts or clubs. It's great to get out there once in a while but it is not great to have a hangover the next day and still have to go to work.
"Yes May, I have considered your offer and sure, I'll go to the concert even though I hate Cardi B!" I say, my eyes opening only to be met with a jumping May.
It starts to scare me when she starts screaming.
"You're the best. I have such a remarkable friend!"
"Only because I come with you to concerts in my free time?"
She stops jumping, smiling my way with broad eyes. "Definitely not! How could you even say something like that? Good Lord, you really know how to offend someone, don't you?"
I narrow my eyes at her and grab my knapsack, smiling at May as I make my way out of her very pink immense room.
"Let's just say it's my talent." I shrug, my lips spreading into a grin.
"You know, sometimes I am so jealous of your co-workers!" May comments before I make it to her door.
"And why do you say that?" It's not like May to be this theatrical or somewhat pessimistic and I'm kind of anxious. Is she going through something? Did her parents fight again? Argh, so many things to concern about.
"They get more time than I do!" She pouts dramatically and I smile.
"Well, we have the concert in two weeks, so we'll make the best of it!"
After our small meaningful see you soon chat and hug, I am on my way. The song Freeze by Sara Kays comes to mind and I start humming the song.
Oomph!
A very erected strong chest comes in contact with my face and I try to catch my balance but once I lose my footing, I get ready to welcome the floor. It would be extremely harsh to kiss the floor without acquainting myself, right?
Yet, I don't get a chance to. Why? Because very strong arms wrap around my midriff, stopping me from falling in love with the floor. My heart thunders in my chest, completely disregarding that I was making mockeries about falling in love with the floor.
When I look up at the human who saved me-dramatic-I know, I grin when I see Jacob humorously smiling at me. My stomach starts churning in anticipation as I wait for him to say something cheesy like he always does.
