Definitely Not Unlucky

Elizabeth

"Have you considered my offer yet?" May asks me, her eyes vast with expectation as we fold her clothing on her bed.

I breathe through my nose, shutting my eyes and praying 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 kill me!

It doesn't help that May can deal with a hangover, but 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 immense pink 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.

Jacob is May's older twin brother by only fifteen minutes. Jacob is the guy I fell in love with when I was almost nineteen years old. Jacob is the guy who broke my heart when we were never together.

Can you believe my crush cheated on me?

I know, it is heartbreaking to have your crush kiss another girl.

"Decided to kiss the floor and not me?" He smirks and I roll my eyes, ignoring the way my heart do a backflip.

Smirking, I shrug. "I mean, the floor is way cleaner."
