overtime- ashtray

35

Ash and Felicity hadn't spoken in a total of 2 weeks, no texts, no calls, no nothing. every time she walked to the store in attempt to speak to the boy, Felicity would just leave before she even went in. She really missed him, it was different around, his presence not their to just comfort her. Life became boring, having Maddy around, the only hum to it. Fee still went to work as usual, not putting as much effort into her looks anymore. She constantly looked tried and run down, dark circles under her eyes, clothes that looked like they had been chucked at, she simply was mentally exhausted. Fee had been spending all her money on drugs, getting them from a dodgy man from out of town as she refused to go to Ashtray.

"Felicity you haven't got out of bed all weekend, get the fuck up bitch. We don't have long till we are back at school." Maddy pulled the covers of, of her, Fee being hit by cold air. 

"No, I am not going out." Fee whined, fighting Maddy for the covers.

"Fuck Ashtray. Stop getting like this over a boy, your sitting here sniffing and swallowing shit. Just get up, let's go out. Get in the shower, do your hair all done up and go out there in your best outfit and let's go find this boy and show him whose loss it is." Maddy shouted at her, physically pulling her out of bed. "Get in the shower"

Fee pulled her body through to the bathroom, placing her clothes on the floor. She turned the shower on, the water trickling down her back. Fee tilted her head back, letting her hair soak in each droplet. 

After a long awaited shower, making her feeling cleaner and better about herself she walked back into her bedroom seeing her room clean, her bed neatly pulled together, curtains open, floor vacuumed and sides clean. She let out a sigh of relief, pulling out one of her best outfits pairing it with a hot cardigan. Fee slicked her hair back, it took both Maddy and Fee to do this hairstyle, the complexity like no other. Fee worked on her lashes whilst Maddy touched up her edges.

"See your going to make him so fucking jealous!" Maddy pulled away, inspecting her best friend and her looks. "Now we just go buy shit of Ash and let him see you, he will instantly miss you. I say I go in their first, then you go in after and watch his attention draw to you. Trust me." Maddy smiled, planting a kiss on her cheek.

"Okay yeah, let's go. Can we go get our nails and feet done first?" Fee smiled at her convincingly.

Fee forgot what it felt like to feel good. Both the girls had gone round into shops, checking out new clothes and makeup, taking funny photos in the photo booth, got their toes and nails done, wearing sliders so everyone could see their matching acrylic sets. The sun was setting, the breeze going from hot to mild, they still looked as if they had only just got ready. They made their way to the store, hoping they were open.

Which it was, they stuck to the plan Maddy going in first. "Hey Fez." Maddy quickly made her presence known, walking into the back shooting me a wink. 

"Oh hey ki- oh." He didn't even had time to respond, he looked around for Maddy soon realising she had gone straight to the back, his eyes caught mine. "Felicity, is that you?"  He inched his body closer to the edge of counter, getting a better look.

"Who else would it be" She chuckled, making herself more visible to Fez who just seemed in a state of shock.

"Didn't think I would see you again, thought you were done for good. But for real I am glad you lookin' good and takin' care of yourself and shitt." Fez implied, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Well thanks to Maddy then, if it wasn't for her I would still be in bed right now." Fee tried to brush her humour of with a simple laugh but Fez seemed serious.

"Seriously kid, I am gonna be real with you, I saw you walking past the other day. You looked like shit, have you been taking drugs again?" Fez's voice became soft and delicate, his gestures caring making her feel comfortable. 

"Not too bad." Fee refused to make eye contact, looking at everything around her but Fez.

"I know when your lying to me kid, but please just be safe for me. I always got you for real." Fez hopped of the side, making his way to her, holding her into a tight embrace. "Had me all worried and shit, but seriously you should let Ash know you doin' okay, he still cares about you y'know. He's just ignorant at times, acts like a child over small situation you feel me." Fees cheecks went warm and Fezco's words of a reassurance, she gave him a nod and smile before making her way to the back.

Fee put on her stronger, confident self before opening the door. Reminding herself why she was doing this and what she was worth. Fee took a deep breath, swinging open the door with a dead face, letting everyone know in the room she didn't give a fuck. 

"I told you Maddy I ain-" Ash paused, his eyes darting up to the girl. He was slouched back in his char, casual sense of ignorance and carelessness. 

It had been two weeks since their fallout, kind of. He hadn't realised how much he missed her until now. She looked different- hotter than usual, if that were even possible. His eyes travled over her, taking in every detail- the curve of her neck, the way her lips parted slightly as she spoke to Maddy, the confident sway of her body as she moved.

Felicity caught him staring and raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. Ashtray tried to play it cool, but he couldn't help the flush that crept up his neck. Despite their falling out, the sight of her stirred something deep within him, a mix of longing and regret. As she approached the table, her eyes locked onto his with a bold intensity that made his pulse quicken. He swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure. He might have been angry with her, but in that moment, all he could think about was how badly he wanted her back.

"3.5 please" Fee insisted keeping her eyes locked onto his, causing a shiver to run up his spine.

Ash cleared his throat, his face with no expression. "No." Fee narrowed her eyes in confusion, 

"No?" She questioned him, taking a small step closer.

"No" Ash repeated stern, staring at her with demeaning eyes. 

"Maddy por favor vete." Fee said, Maddy rolling her eyes leaving the room.

Maddy please go.
