Dysphoria

Chapter Twenty One

Halloween had come around the corner faster than I could have imagined.

At the weekends I spent most of my time with Fez and Ash, I would help out at the store for a few hours or hang out when I didn't have too much homework. When I wasn't in school I was avoiding Nate which was basically a full time job. Any spare time left over was spent fucking Fez, literally anywhere and everywhere. We had fucked in my car, in his car, in the back of store, even at a family restroom at the mall. It was kind of a problem but...you're not gunna hear me complaining.

The investigation was a fucking mess. Nate was till protesting his innocence and leading Maddy on. She wouldn't tolerate a single bad word against him and as much as I wanted to understand her, it was putting a strain on our friendship.

After that first night I slept at Fez's it had become more of a regular thing, much to Ash's annoyance. He loved to remind us how thin the walls were.

Fez had become even more protective than before. He made sure to check in with me multiple times a day and I began to realize anytime we were together how much physical affection was important to him. He didn't need to say it, but he felt happier when he had his hand on me in some way.

I loved it.

"Ummm earth to Nia." Maddy snapped her fingers in front of me as we sat down at our usual lunch table.

"What? Sorry. I spaced out." I replied.

"Are you going to Daniel's Halloween party?" Cassie asked with a twinkle in her eye. She would never admit it but she had been flirting with Daniel a lot now that she saw less of McKay.

"I hadn't thought about it."

Maddy rolled her eyes. "Shut up. You're getting ready with us. We just need to get our outfits together. Who are you dressing up as Cass?

I take out my phone while they explain their ideas. Cassie wanted to be Alabama Worley which I thought was going to be amazing.

Me: Hey babe are you going to
Daniel's Halloween party? 

Fezzy: if your goin then I'm goin

Me: okay, Maddy asked me to get ready with her and Cassie. I can't really say no.

Fezzy: what costume you gunna wear?

Me: It's a surprise. Do you have a suit?

Fezzy: I have a few

Me: perfect ;) send me pictures of each one and I'll tell you which to wear.

"Why would you dress up as a child prostitute??" I burst out laughing at Maddy's idea.

"Ugh it's not about the character, besides she had great style even if she is a child." She rolls her eyes. "And what the fuck are you gunna be bitch?"

"I dunno. Probably Rasputin." I say flippantly.

"Isn't that like, the creepy guy who killed Princess Anastasia?" Cassie looked at me confused.

"Cassie. Are you being serious?" Kat asked looking at her like she was dumb.

"Okay okay I have a really good costume idea but I need the perfect blonde wig." I say excitedly.

Maddy stares at me "Bitch you are speaking my love language. Let's skip class and go wig shopping!"

We hopped in the car and went straight to the mall. Maddy needed a curly blonde wig, Cassie needed a blonde bob with some waves and I needed a sleek blonde chin length bob with bangs.
