An inconvenient attachment

Part 2: Chapter 3

Sorry sorry sorry, I thought I uploaded this chapter two days ago, but clearly didn't. Enjoy🧡

"Mia, maybe you should come sit with me?"  Charlotte says when she sees my face. Pierre's leg is touching mine. I don't know why, but I feel slightly uncomfortable. "Maybe Mia can decide for herself where she wants to sit?" Pierre responds. "Pierre, you're drunk. Shut up" Charlotte rolls her eyes. "Maybe you should mind your business" Pierre says. I don't know how many drinks he has had, but he acts different when he's drunk.

"Don't be an asshole Pierre" Charles warns. "If you want a girlfriend so bad, go find one that isn't taken" Charlotte bites. "Guys, lets just relax. Me and Pierre are friends, he doesn't want anything more, right?" I look at Pierre, who stays silent. "Tell them" I say, more directly this time. "It's true, we're friends" he says. "See" I hold my hands out in front of me.
Charlotte chuckles and rolls her eyes. "Yeah right" she says.

"Guys can we just stop with this fucking bullshit? I swear you all sound like Lando and it's doing my fucking head in" Max says, waving over the waiter to order more drinks. "Yes please" I sigh and am relieved when the waiter brings more drinks. The mood quickly lightens up. Oh what alcohol is good for.

"Hello everybody" Kelly says when she finally walks in. Everybody is slightly tipsy. "Where's your date Carlos? I thought you were bringing a girl?" Kelly asks. "Something came up" Carlos says. "Oh my god. You didn't ask her did you?" Charles says, laughing. "What, afraid she'll say no?" Max asks. Carlos looks annoyed. "Oh come on, every girl would say yes to you" I say, bumping my shoulder to his. "Guys shut up, I can ask a girl out, i'm not a chicken,"

"Buk, buk, buk, ba-gawk" Pierre says, imitating an chicken. "Fine Pierre, since you have so many dates, how would you ask a girl out?" Carlos asks. Pierre rolls his eyes.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, we can do it in my car" I hum. They burst out laughing, while Carlos looks at me in disbelief. "You are unbelievable" Kelly laughs. "I have more" I say. "Do tell" Charles says amused. "No! Don't encourage her" Max yells.

"Do you believe in love at first flight? Because when I look at you I see my final destination" I say, raising my eyebrows a few times. Max covers his face with his hands, while I prepare for more.

"Roses are red, violets are blue, did you know that my bed has room for two?" I say, trying not to look too smug.

"Wipe that smile off your face" Max laughs. "What can I say? I'm proud of my opening lines" I say, shrugging my shoulders. "Well, maybe now you'll get to use them sometime" Charles says, regretting what he says almost immediately. Charlotte slaps his arm softly. "It's fine, Charlotte. It's true. But I think I will stay single forever" I sigh.

"Oh come on, you don't mean that" Pierre says quickly. "I do. I'm not going through that again" I say, grabbing a shot from the waiters tray. I quickly take it and lean back. "Thank you guys for still inviting me" I say softly, hoping that no one will hear. But I had to get if off my chest.

"Don't be silly, you're my friend, our friend" Charlotte says, smiling at me. "Is Lando ok with you guys hanging out with me?"

"Of course" Carlos says. Him and Max share a look, but I realized that sometimes it's better not to ask. This is defenitly one of those times.

"Mia, wake up, we're going running" Max pops his head through the door. Ugh, I still have a headache because of last night. This reminds me why I stopped drinking, and because I couldn't stop anymore. "Noo, go away" I throw a pillow at his head. "Be ready in 10 minutes" Max turns on the light and closes the door behind him. Ugh, fine. I throw the sheets off of me and get changed. Guess i'll get ready for the worst half an hour of my life.

When we finally get back, which by the way took way longer than half an hour, I feel like I'm dead. "You amaze me" Max says before he puts a water bottle to his lips. "Why?" I let myself fall on the couch, completely out of breath. "How are you even alive with such bad physical condition?" Max walks over to me. "Hey!" I yell when Max pulls me off the couch. "Get your sweaty ass off of my couch and take a shower." With wobbly legs I walk over to my room. "I'm never doing that again by the way" I yell from the hallway. "Yes you are, tomorrow!" Oh hellll no.

The rest of the day I spent just chilling and playing with Kelly's baby. She's so fricking cute. "You really have to get ready now, otherwise we are going to be late" Kelly says when the babysitter arrives. Reluctant I hand the baby to Kelly. I could play with her all day. "Ugh fine, but I'll see you tomorrow" I say when I touch her little nose. "Yes, now change" Kelly says strictly. I put on the blue dress I brought. I don't know for how long I've had this dress. It was a present from Addison actually. It still looks beautiful and I wear it whenever the occasion is there. It's low cut, with tiny straps and has a split down by my leg. "You look pretty" Kelly says when I walk out. "So do you!" I grab the present I bought for Carlos and head out.

"Please drive slow" I say to the taxi driver when I get in the car. "Sure miss."

"Where is this party anyways?" Kelly asks Max. "I think he rented a boat. It's just a few minutes away" Max says the last part to me. "Is everyone coming?" I ask. Max and Kelly give each other a look which I can't place. Suddenly I realize. Oh my god. I didn't even think about Lando. He's one of Carlos his closest friends. Of course he is going to be there. "Is Lando coming?"

"Uhmmm"" Max says.

That says enough. Yes. He is going to be there.
