if he was mine

An everyday occurrence

R I A

We were like December and January, so close together but a lifetime apart. Seeing Luis as good looking as he is stroll into my kitchen every morning and not being able to do anything about it wasn't for the weak. The truth is, he wasn't even mine. He had been going out with Char fucking Anderson for God knows how long. She really pisses me off in ways I can't describe but for Luis I put up with it. He liked her and she liked him and when two people like each other guess what? They date.
"Ria, hurry the fuck up. I need to go in!"
"Well you are going to have to wait a fucking minute won't you, dipshit?" I scream back at my brother as I wrap the towel over my hair.
"Don't make me call Mum."
"Why? Are you too big of a baby to deal with your sister yourself?"
"Don't make me come in there."
"Oh boo hoo, shiver me timb-"
"Hey, Ria. I need to use the bathroom. How long are you going to be?" I suddenly stop when I hear his deep voice from behind the door. Shit Ria. Make yourself look somewhat presentable.
"Er coming!" I call out whilst I check myself in the mirror and sneakily pull down my towel a tad so my tits are more visible.

As I open the door, the steam dances around his frame making him look so ethereal. "Thanks, baby sis." He smirks down at me with a shit-eating grin.
"Make sure you're ready in 10 so we can leave."
"Sure." I stare up at him. He leans forward so his chest flushes against mine. My heart rate spirals out of control and I look down at the floor. "The door." And with that he walks in without another word and slams it behind him. I begin to walk to my room trying to work out what had just happened when the door opens again.
"Oh and Ria?" He reopens the door and when he does his t-shirt flies up a bit so I see his toned figure.
"Yeah?" I look at him expectantly trying not to show my discomfort.
"Don't wear that perfume again, it makes you smell like a prostitute." He winks at me. I growl in frustration, stomping down the corridor. How can such cruel things always come out of such a handsome, good-looking, sexy man? It made no damn sense to me.

Pulling my skirt high up, I hear a loud honk and shouting coming from downstairs.
"Okay, I'm coming aren't I?" I yell back down at them.
"Take this, Valeria." My mum hands me a pastry in a brown bag once I make it downstairs. "Dad's going on a business trip so he isn't going to be around for a few days." No surprise there.
"Okay, Mamma." I take the bag from her hands and kiss her cheek. "I'll be back
in no time and thanks for the pastry."                                                                            "Of course, darling. You are so beautiful." She hugs me after I slip my coat on. "Inside and out."

"Couldn't give me 5 minutes could you fuckers?" I tut as I slide in the front seat. It was my turn to ride in the front of Luis' car and I did it with my head held high.
"No, you were taking years." My brother drooled from the back.
"She was probably just doing her makeup, weren't you, Ri?" Isabella smiles from the back.
"See, Bels gets it."
"You don't even need that shit."
"Aw, that was the nicest thing you have said to me this week."
"Well then, you better hang onto it because more of that isn't coming your way." I didn't even properly hear what Miguel said next as I try to focus on my cheeks not going so red as Luis throws one hand over the back of my chair to reverse the car out of the driveway. Damn, he really is hotter than yesterday.
"Did you hear what I said?" Miguel taps me on my shoulder. "Or are you in Wonderland."
"If I was in Wonderland how could I tell you that your hair is all over the place?"  I smirk as he suddenly starts messing around with his hair frantically.
"So it is as they say, a boy's hair is a girl's makeup." Bels yawns.
"Hey, not funny." Luis turns to me and I see his curls bounce in the early morning sunlight. He says this harshly but I see a small smirk tug on his lips. "You know how obsessive he gets about his hair."
I don't even hear what really is going on at the back as I just take in the moment. His hand is still behind me giving me a full view of his body. His eyes narrowed, staring back at me with a fuck the world and everyone in it expression and he had a small bruise above his eyebrow.
"What's this?" I reach up to touch it as he finishes parking and the back two passengers jump out.
His eyes widen and he blinks a couple of times before he snaps. "Don't touch it." And grabs my arm, lowering it down. I feel the heat of his touch linger on my arm for a split second before I cut the silence in half.
"What happe-"
"Hey, baby." If I hear that fucking screech come out of that girl's mouth again I'm going tweak. Char opens the car door, climbs onto his lap and kisses him right there and then.
"Okay, that's my queue to leave." I snap and throw open my door.
"Oh hey Ria, I didn't see you there." She makes out in the middle of the kisses.
"Hey Cha-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as I witness Luis digging his nails into her ass and in response she throws her head back as he leaves a trail of kisses down her neck.
I slam the door and turn on my heels eager to get far away from that crime scene before I puke.
"Don't slam my door." I hear Luis growl behind me.
"Yeah, yeah." I flip him off and hurry to find my friends.

"You know, Aydan really likes you. You should go out with him." Summer says, pulling on my jumper.
"No thanks." I instantly reply as I stare at Luis and his annoying girlfriend from across the canteen.
"Yes thanks, it would be fun."
"You know you're the only girl that hasn't dated someone in our year. Like ever." Juliette chips in.
"You are 17, live a little." Liliana rolls her eyes at me when I poke my tongue out.
"Bu-"
"He already has a girlfriend, babe. Leave it for a bit." Juliette sighs as she takes a bite of her cinnamon swirl.
"If he liked you, he would have acted on it already." Liliana blankly states.
"Gee thanks."
"Yeah, instead of getting with another slut." Summer sniffs in disgust.
"Thanks guys but that's still a no from me." I shake my head smiling as they all sigh at me and Liliana attempts to throw her empty water bottle at me.
"Such a mood killer."
"That's still a no, Summer."
"At least I tried."
