Princess Charming (gxg)

Part 12

For the next week and a half or so until my birthday- I had two main focuses.

Finding a job and seeing Hallie.

Seeing Hallie was much more exiting.

She came to see me twice again before my birthday. And we went to the same coffee shop we had gone to before. She paid both times- and even got us extra pastries. I felt badly that she paid- but she insisted.

I was liking her more and more- especially when we would make out in my car. I wanted more though. Not just sexually. I wanted to be able to be more open about seeing her to Victoria- but there was no way. Not yet.

Speaking of Victoria- was taking me into the gayborhood in Philly, and she got a hotel room for us to stay in overnight.

I was excited. But I also secretly wished Hallie could come with us. Hallie knew that Victoria and I were going into Philly for my birthday. She was going to come see me two days later- the day after I turned 23.

The only people who ever made a big deal out of my birthday- besides Jocelyn- are my brother and Cora. Now that I had a best friend who made a big deal of it as well- I was so grateful.

I hoped I wouldn't fuck up my friendship by fucking her sister.

Victoria told me to come to her house, and then she would drive us to Philly. It was a little over an hour away, and she lived closer than me.

My heart was racing- not to go out- but to possibly see Hallie. Even for just a minute.

When Victoria greeted me at the door, she was dressed and ready to go out- as I was. She had on a sparky, form fitting, rose gold dress that looked stunning on her.

"You look beautiful, birthday girl!" she greeted me with a hug.

"So do you, babe. Thank you." I said, hugging her back.

We walked into the kitchen, where Victoria's mother- and Hallie was.

I met her gaze as we walked in, but held it for only a second.

"Happy birthday, Alina!" Courtney greeted me with a hug.

"Yeah, happy birthday, Alina." Hallie said, casually.

"Thank you." I said to the both of them.

"Be careful going out, girls." Courtney said, "Do you both have pepper spray on you?"

"Yes, ma'am." I said, and Victoria nodded as well.

About twenty minutes later, we were on our way out. We had rap music blasting as Victoria drove.

"I won't be mad if you don't spend the night in our hotel room." she said over a Megan Thee Stallion song.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You know...if you meet someone at the club and want to have some birthday sex." Victoria smiled at me.

No. I can't.

"I'm more interested in spending time with you." I said, with a chuckle.

"You're telling me that Alina Koval is not looking to get laid after going to a gay club?" Victoria fake gasped, "I don't believe it."

I rolled my eyes, "Not everything is about sex. What if I want to have a good time with my best friend?"

"Come on, if I just so happen to find a straight man at the club I might have to bone him." Victoria said, "I've been stressed from my job, I could use some stress relief. Everyone wants to get laid tonight! Even Hallie is going on a date."
