Irresistible Compulsions

||Ch. 4|| "You go black, I'll go red."

Tonight's going to be rough.
I wasn't keen on it by any stretch of the imagination but Jake had convinced me to come around to the idea. And by that I mean he and Dylan had agreed to watch The Notebook with me and buy me a back massage if I didn't lose my shit and skitz at everyone tonight.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't opposed to castrating the both of them earlier today but going along with tonight did seem to have it's perks after all.

I'd called Sarah about thirty minutes ago and invited her over. She was here in ten minutes flat with a duffel bag slung over her arm, clearly taking up my offer to stay the night.

Sarah and I have been friends since year seven. We met on the first day of high school and have been practically joined at the hip ever since. There wasn't much about each other that we didn't know. I mean the girl had asked me to pluck a hair out of her ass crack before. It's safe to say we're pretty close.

Sarah still lives at home with her mum while she's studying to become a primary school teacher. Her mum's got a new boyfriend, Gilbert. She got on with him alright but didnt like the fact that her mum was suddenly 'having a mid life sexual awakening' as she told me, air quoting her mother's exact words. She didn't like the way her mum would call him Bertie over the phone, trying to make it sound sexy.

He's nice enough but considering the idea of them doing the dirty makes her squirm I knew she'd be keen on staying the night if I offered.

"The black or the red?" Sarah asks, holding up two dresses, trying to decide between them.

I've seen her wear both before, they're pretty much identical other than the fact the black one had short sleeves where as the red one had had spaghetti straps. They're both about mid thigh length and are a tight, ribbed material.

"You go black, I'll go red." I decide and she nods in agreeance, shutting the door to my bedroom before undressing and throwing on the tight black number.

"Sooo did you invite Adam?" She asks, wiggling her brows at me as she starts running a comb through her hair, switching on her curler.

I roll my eyes, cringing a little at the thought and regretting the fact that yes I had infact invited him to come tonight.

Adam was our mate in high school. He'd started hanging out with us when he moved to our school in senior year. We all got pretty close and got along really well.

That was until he asked me out of course.
Sarah always said she got the vibe he wanted to be more than friends and that it was obvious he had a thing for me but I'd usually just brush it off.

That was of course until he got drunk at a house party one night and confessed his feelings for me. At first I was hesitant, not keen on the idea of making the friendship awkward but decided to give him a go in the end. It helped that he was easy on the eyes and overall a pretty charming guy but there was always something missing.

We were going steady for about three months before I called things off. There was no big blow out and no messy fights, I just wasn't feeling it and didn't want to keep flogging a dead horse.

In the grand scheme of things he was a pretty good boyfriend by dictionary definition. He said all the right things, tried to woo me any chance he got, you get the gist. But there wasn't any chemistry. I felt like he was far more invested than I was.

Then there was also the fact that he'd never given me an orgasm. Yeah that one was a hard pill for him to swallow when we broke up.

Anyway, after we broke up he stopped hanging around with us as much. We're all still friends on the surface level but it was clear I got custody of Sarah in the divorce.
