The Challenge

The Next Morning

The next morning came by fast.

The Palms Springs sun was beating down my face and making my eyes flutter open and I looked around laying peacefully in my bed feeling nothing but overjoyed.

Last night really happened.

Me and Sebastian were officially a thing. A real relationship. I was so elated. I could've sworn I was still smiling right now, at this beautiful moment wanting to relive everything we had just did.

After 3 years of meeting, 2 years of miscommunication, a terrible girlfriend, a pampered sister's rage, a jerk of a crush, and one crazy and wacky arrangement...we made it.

To be honest, it was all worth it too knowing that now he was with me and nothing could change that. He had wanted to prove his love for me my god, did I sure feel that he did exactly what he promised.

I was the most fortunate girl on this earth now and I was fully confident that we could get through anything from now on no matter what.

Just as I was about to finally get up from my position ready to embrace the day, I then heard the door barge wide open and the famous words I came to hear so frequently.

"Lexi!" London whined to me. I groaned to myself.

Not now, not this early. I didn't sleep well enough to hear this noise.

Besides, I couldn't fathom how I would even explain to her what had just happened in complete sentences, without getting flustered and nervous.

"Lexi?!" She called again, now right at the foot of my bed.

I sighed putting on my best masked face and turned around to see her and shyly smiled.

"London hey...good morning! W-w-what's wrong? What happened?!" I asked frantic.

"I'll tell you what happened. We have a huge problem!" She yelled crossing her arms.

My eyes widened a bit. No, she couldn't know what I have done. It was impossible. How?!

"P-p-problem?! No! Problem like what?" I then questioned timidly raising the covers over my body more fully.

"Martinez! He just used the last of the protein powder to do his stupid little workouts! Now I don't have anymore for mine!" She then said annoyed.

My whole body calmed down as I sighed in relief. It wasn't London finding out anything, it was just her being her.

"Um...okay?" I asked, still not sure how this was my problem. She then looked to me knowingly.

"So now someone has to go out to town to get a new one! Can you believe him?!" she inquired.

I nodded slowly before I corrected that action, instantly shaking my head next. "Some nerve."

"I know! Ugh, I can't wait until this whole thing is over and he is gone out of our lives forever. Am I right?!" She said giddily.

I shrugged shyly and smiled clearing my throat becoming a little fidgety. That was going to be a little hard to do now for me.

"Right..." I could only utter to her.

Ugh, I felt so wrong. I should've just told her and not lied...again.

Then again, maybe we should tell her together. When she's happy. In a really good mood. Like when I buy her a whole cheesecake, or a chocolate covered edible arrangement on her cheat days.

"Well, let me know how much it is when you get back." she then said, about to walk out.

Wait a minute, it was me who was getting it?!
