"I'm sexy and I know it !" No this is not my alarm ,no this a little shit head who won't let me sleep.
"James shut the hell up!" I yelled just as he slammed my door open and dived on top of me . My breath was cut short as I let out a choked breath. Was he trying to flatten me like a pancake ?
" Why can't you be all rainbows and lollipops just for one morning of your life!?" James whispered into my shoulder blade.
" Oh I don't know maybe because its 7 IN THE MORNING! I could still be sleeping if you didn't come in like you had a rainbow up your ass!" I huffed out. James started shaking with laughter as he slowly rolled of me dragging me with him on to his lap . " I'm sorry but I really want to go to the new café with the most amazing person in my life." He whispered leaning his head on my collar bone. I sighed and huffed out a 'fine'. He excitedly jumped up dropping me on the bed like a kid chucked out there old toy in the trash. I let out a 'humph' sound angrily . He gave me a big grin, telling me to hurry up and get ready as he raced out of my bedroom- slamming the door behind him . Do you hear that? SILENCE! "What an annoying jerk." I whispered to myself, forcing myself to leave my love- my bed of course. I opened my black curtains to see it was going to be a beautiful sunny day. Smiling I stripped and stepped into my shower- washing my body and hair quickly. I hoped out and put on my silk red robe- that I cherished. Putting on a G and a white bra I found my high waisted ripped shorts, a stylish white, strapless crop top. Putting on my white heels with gold studs I walked towards my jewellery pulling out my gold chain with a flying bird on it, I then grabbed my rings, putting them on, one by one- affinity ring, cross ring and my chained and lined rings. I put in my gold hoop earing's and a diamond stud in the top of one of my ears. I changed my nose piercing to a small shiny stud. Happy with my choice, I went to put my face on. Light foundation, eyeliner and mascara and a pale cream lip stick was my signature look. I let my straight hair fall down my back, till it reached just above my booty. I looked in my long length mirror, dragging my gaze across my outfit. my greenish eyes stood out with my makeup and dark hair- same with my piercing's and other accessories. My outfit complemented my skinny but feminine, muscular body with my long tanned legs. Happy I grabbed my small handbag with my purse and sunglasses. Stepping down the stairs to where James was already waiting, he looked up and gave me a big smile. " Looking HOTT babe!" James said dragging my out the door to his beautiful fast machine. " Thankyou darling." I replied sarcastically, slipping into the car. Turning on the radio, one of our songs came on.
" And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we will both be known ... she told me don't worry about! " " I CANT FEEL MY FACE WHEN IM WITH YOU BUT I LOVE IT." We both screamed together as James zoomed down the road into the busy streets of Perth. We sang it all the way to the café, windows down without a care in the world- these were the moments I cherished the most, the good times- where I could forget what happened in my past. Stepping out of the car we made our way to the new little café, that had a welcoming feel. Walking in we found a table for two in the corner at the back, I liked it here. We picked up the menu's silently searching the menu for breakfast. " I think I want pancakes with banana, maple syrup and cream on top and a coffee." Said James as he put down the menu, looking up at me. " I want the same- sounds so good right now!" I replied.
" Ill go order for us. " James said walking towards the counter without a care in the world. I shook my head, how could he look like he didn't have a care in the world when it was the exact opposite. I heard some loud chatter coming from the door as it was pushed open, showing a group of teenagers around my age. When I got a look at their faces I gave a hushed gasp-as I recognized all of them. Memories flashed before my eyes as I remembered them when I use to be around. I let out a shaky breath as I looked at the two leaders in the group. My old best friend and the guy that had meant everything to me- my first love. Taylor Pitts and Jamie Ashwood. Then there was Kara-Now Taylor's best friend, Sam, who's twin was Layla, next came Ash- Jamie's best friend and last was Kyle and Tia- who were dating. Over the years I had watched this group come together- they use to be my friends too. I turn away as I see them make there way across from me - two tables down. I watch as they laughed and made jokes and how close Taylor and Jamie are- like they were a couple. They ordered and kept laughing about something Kyle had said- he always was the joker. There was some good times with these guy's but even they couldn't keep me here. I was pulled from my thoughts when James sat back down again and tapped my noise.
" YO! Come back to reality now and plunge into deep thoughts later when you don't have someone as amazing me gracing your presence. " I rolled my eyes at the idiot across from me and turned my glance back to the group. " Why do you keep staring a them Tes- bit creepy my girl." James curiously said.
" That's Taylor and Jamie and a couple of my other past friends." I answered- James new everything and I knew he knew who I was talking about when he took a good look at Jamie. " Seems my old best friend is cosy with my first lover." I whispered half to myself.
" Not surprising T. I mean look at it, you left and they all came together after your little goodbye." He slowly said back.
I nod my head. " It makes sense but doesn't make it easier ."
Before James could reply the waitress was at our table putting down our delicious food and hot coffee's. I gave a soft thankyou and then started digging in.
" OMG...This is heaven....mmmm" James lovingly said.
" mmmm I agree." I said shoving down more of my pancakes. A we finished our pancakes and slowly picked up our coffee's I knew I couldn't avoid the next conversation any longer.
" So what's our cover up while we are back here?" I whispered looking away from him out the window. there was silence for a moment .
" We are sticking to the best friend thing . Your no longer Nicki Smith but Tessa Montgomery and I am James Johnson. We moved here from up North. Our parents work away together, so they gave us the choice to live together- so we do. Our age is the same. You will be a senior at your old high school and so will I. We have money and have been best friends since childhood. We must make sure your hair is kept dyed dark brown, to not show your golden roots, with your piercings, slimmer body and tattoo's no one should recognise you and if someone were to start looking into things- I will take care of it. "He summarized for me. This was nothing new- I had been doing this for the past two years.
I nodded knowing any gaps would be filled in later. " Okay sounds like a good background, what about the gang?" I asked. James was a leader of a small gang that protected people- they saved many and trained them , I was one of them to have been saved. They helped us start again and be stronger and better. When James had found me we had a pull towards each other and from that day we never parted. Many once better left the gang but some chose to stay and help ones in need.
"They'll all be here in a couple days. Our little group will attend school with us and most of the others will go on assignments like usual and come back when they have achieved and done what had been asked." James replied with a business tone. I nodded and dropped the conversation.
"Ready to go?" James asked.
" Yeah I need the ladies, ill met you in the car. " I said standing up with James who gave a light nod and moved towards the door.
Just as I exited the toliet door I bumped into someone- causing them to fall back a couple steps.
" Oh im sorry. Are you okay?" I asked.
" Its okay, im all good and in one piece. " The girls voice came out lightly. I sucked in my breath , SHIT!
As my eyes connected with her's I froze. Taylor. Her face scrunched up- she did this when she was confused and shaken. She searched my face like she was trying to work me out. Please don't recognize me , god please no.
" Good to know your okay, I must go " I hurriedly said, pushing past her to get to the door.
" Do I know you?" She half yelled, catching the attention of my past friends - I had only made it a few steps. Not having the strength to look her in the eye I said " No you don't know me at all. " Before she could reply I rushed out of the café but not before I made eye contact with him. Jamie.
She knew me but she didn't recognize me but who would? They all thought I was dead.
