‘Hey sexy lady.’ Jade said. I loved Jade as if she was my sister. I was extremely close to her and I talked to her about every single detail of my life and most importantly, she loved my brother with all her heart.
‘Hello Senorita.’ I said, mimicking a Spanish accent as I entered the kitchen and wrapped my arms around her.
‘You smell fresh. Trying to hide how rough you’re feeling huh?’ I looked at her disbelief, how could she possibly know? ‘I was your age once.’ She raised her eyebrows before diverting her gaze back to the magazine in front of her. I loved how Marius and her acted like they were a middle aged couple when they were twenty and twenty one years of age.
‘What did Sandra do this time?’ Marius said while removing mugs form the cupboard to make the three of us a fresh cup of tea.
‘Denzel told her I came home late, she flipped shit and I told her she was a slut.’ I said in one breath causing Jade to look at me and smirk. She disliked my mum, a lot. She never approved of Jade and I could never understand why. She was one of the sweetest girls I had ever met and I always remember her tip toeing around my mum whenever she came over. She tried to avoid visiting when Marius came over, even though that was pretty limited as well.
‘She has a boyfriend, how can she be a slut?’ Marius said, he was laughing though because he finds my attitude towards her hysterical.
‘She’s had like two hundred boyfriends since she split up with dad. I can’t remember the last time she spent more than two days at home.’ I answered while picking at my nails. Marius shrugged his shoulders and continued to make the tea. I checked my phone and replied to some unanswered texts I had received from my friends wondering where I had got to last night.
‘What did you get up to last night? How many boys did you kiss?’ Jade said while slapping my hand lightly that was placed on the counter as I faced her. I shook my head and laughed, she never held back especially when Marius was in the room.
‘None, I’m a lesbian.’ I said in a serious tone which made Marius give me a stern look.
‘No vaginas for you D.’ our laughs echoed around the kitchen and it made me think why could I not just live here permanently.
‘Aimee had a party so we just had a few drinks, nothing crazy.’ I said. Realistically, it was a crazy crazy night. I went back to basically a stranger’s house where he groped me with my consent and then fled the next day.
‘I don’t like when you drink, it worries me.’ Marius said, setting a cup in front of me.
‘Whatever, at least I’m not laying in a ditch somewhere.’ I took a long sip of my tea and he crossed his arms in front of me.
‘Are you staying here tonight?’ Jade asked. She gave me hopeful eyes. She had four brothers and lived with Marius so she loved to have some girl time. I looked to Marius and fluttered my eyelashes looking for his approval.
‘Do you even have to ask anymore?’ He asked. He kissed my cheek before leaving the kitchen to get a shower upstairs. I got up from my chair and looked through the cupboard before coming across some corn flakes. I poured them into a bowl and added some milk before coming back to my previous seat across from Jade.
‘So what really went down last night? Nothings ever not crazy with you and the girls.’ She said while grinning. She knew me so well. I started to tell her about Zayn, how we hadn’t seen each other and then he knocked me to the ground causing me to injure myself. I told her most things about the night before, except for the staying over at Zayn’s house part because that she would definitely tell Marius and he wouldn’t be pleased.
