Chapter 11

Wavecrest Apartments

Lying on Ava's bed, Elana was messaging Maya. She's onto her fourth dress so far. What's yours up to? 

Dress is sorted, but now it can decide the shoes 😁

"Come on Ava! You look great. It's time to go. Our TrekRide will be here soon!" Twisting in front of the mirror, "Does this make my butt look big?"

"Who are you kidding Ava? Your figure is perfect. Let's go!" urged Elana. "Ok, ok. Let's go," resigned Ava. 

As they were about to get into their ride share, Ava's phone rang. "It's Jake."

"Hello?"

"What you up to tonight?" he asked.

"Just going out with Elana and a few of the girls." Not offering anymore information.

"Where to?"

"Umm, Flannigan's, I think."

"Cool. Maybe I'll see you there later. Bye." Jake hung up before Ava could dissuade him. "Jake might be coming later," she said to Elana.

"Fuckin' great." 

Flannigan's Bar

As Maya and Lena were waiting at the bar, Lena asked for about the 10th time, "Are you sure I look okay?"

"Fucking fantastic! If we hadn't already dated, I'd be all up in that already!" Maya looked to the front door where she saw Elana. Waving she called them over. Elana ran up and gave Maya a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Looking good hotstuff!"

"You too!" Maya and Elana turned to watch the other two girls.

Lena hadn't taken her eyes of the girls dressed in black since the moment she walked in. Her tight dress showed off all her curves. Ava walked up slowly, "Hi, Lena... You look really pretty tonight.."

"Me? Nah... It's you who look great. I love you in that dress!" Lena grimaced, "I mean, you look great. I don't love you..." Lena looked away and took a sip of her drink. What the fuck am I saying??

Maya leaned over to Elana and whispered in her ear, "Well this is fucking awkward!? What are they, in high school?" Elana giggled.

"What to do you want to drink Ava?" Maya cutting in to ease the tension. "Oh, just a beer thanks," said Ava, grateful for the out.

"Let's sit over there," Elana said pointing to a nearby table.

20 minutes and quite a few shots later, Ava and Lena were dancing closely together on the dance floor. Rubbing up against each other and laughing. Occasionally a man would approach, but would just recieve a hostile look from both women, leading them to hastily retreat.

Maya and Elana watched on, "They look good together." Elana agreed, "Don't they just? If only Ava didn't have a boyfriend." Maya nodded.

"Oh fuck! Speak of the devil an he shall appear!" Maya pointed to the front door where Jake had just walked in. Spying Ava on the dance floor, her arms wrapped around Lena's neck, he walked straight over to her."

"Ava!" Ava stepped away from Lena and look up. "Oh, you came," she said.

Jake pulled Ava into a hug, and kissed her on the lips. He then gave Lena a triumphant look. Jealousy burning up in Lena's chest, she could only roll her eyes at him. Ava looked at Lena, and squeezed her way out of Jake's embrace.

"It's getting late, and I have to do some things tomorrow. We'll talk again soon." Lena said, tears almost ready to come our of her eyes. She quickly walked to where Maya was sitting, "I'm going to go home. Bye. See ya Elana."

"Oh, yeah. Bye," said Elana sadly. Lena headed for the exit as quickly as she could. "Lena, wait!, " Ava called out, but she didn't stop. 

Starting to follow her, she was pulled back by Jake who'd got hold of her arm. "Where are you going? I'm right here?" Ava could only look at Jake and frown. By the time she turned back around, Lena had disappeared.

She tried calling Lena's phone, but the calls were rejected. Ava's heart felt a pain that she'd never experienced before.

Sitting alone in the taxi, Lena looked out the window. Tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. I'm so fucking stupid. What did was I expecting??
