Saving Him (#Wattys2016)

Arrogant Piece of Poop

"Well this is it" I said as me and Allie stood in front of my apartment. It was now 7 pm and obviously it was kind of a little bit late to go to the beach. I took out my keys and unlocked the door and we headed inside.

My apartment was pretty plain and simple. The living room was painted a light shade of red and there were black sofas. The kitchen was painted yellow and had a brown island in the middle. And then of course two rooms were there.

I got a two bedroom apartment so when days like these when Allie came over, she would have space to put her things and wouldn't need to sleep on the floor or couch.

I headed toward the room closest to the door. I dumped Allie's bags on the bed and sat on the bed.

"I like what you did to the place" Allie said as she examined the room. I smiled and muttered a thanks. Allie always said I was good at "decorating" things. I heard a grumble and I knew it was not me and the only other person in the room was Allie.

I rolled my eyes, "Your hungry already?" I don't why I was even surprised. Allie just gave me a sheepish smile and headed towards the kitchen. I was so tired, I laid onto the bed. I sighed as I felt my eyes slowly drooping, but of course something had to happen to wake me up.

"TORI!!!" Allie screamed from the kitchen. This woke me up quickly. I ran to the kitchen to see Allie standing there in front of the refrigerator. I looked to see if there was a fire, or if the sink was flooded or even if a rat came inside but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

I looked at at Allie with a confused and slightly irritated face. Why did she scream?

"Where is your food?!!" Allie replied as if reading my mind. Oh yeah I forgot to go grocery shopping. Oops.

"Oh I forgot to tell you, I ran out of food recently" I actually ran out a week ago but Mrs. Wells was kind enough to invite me for dinner, so naturally I forgot to buy food. "Don't worry I'll call Mrs. Wells" I said as I grabbed the phone that was on the island. Allie's eyes lit up when I said Mrs. Wells.

I talked to Allie about Mrs. Wells a lot and she really wanted to meet her someday. I dialed in the number and waited for her to pick up. After the third ring, Mrs. Wells finally picked up.

"Hello Tori!" cheery as ever.

"Hello Mrs. Wells! I was wondering if I could come over for dinner again. My friend, Allie the one I've been talking about, is over and we just realized that we have no food" I felt really bad for asking.

"Sure no problem! I would love to meet her! Oh and also I forgot to tell you my son is also visiting from college, so it will be great for all of you to meet" Mrs. Wells said excitingly. She has a son?

"Great we'll be there in 10, can't wait!" With a quick bye, I hung up the phone and turned to Allie, "We're going over to Mrs. Wells for dinner and she also said that her son was also visiting form college" Allie squealed as she heard the word dinner and son.

I laughed and headed to my room to freshen up. I washed my face and applied a thin line of eyeliner. I then changed into a different shirt because the other shirt was getting sticky from all the sweat.

"Tori I'm ready!!" Allie yelled from her room.

"Okay I'm coming" I quickly slipped on my sandals and headed out. I grabbed my keys and locked the door and we headed towards Mrs. Wells place. Once we reached, I gave a firm knock on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened and there stood Mrs. Wells with a bright smile on her face.

"Hello guys!! Come in, come in!" She stepped aside as me and Allie entered. "And you must be the famous Allie!" Allie smiled and greeted her with a hug and just like that they hit off. I knew they would get along. We headed towards the living room and Mrs. Wells got a glass pitcher with iced tea in it and we sat down on one of the beige sofas.

"Oh my son is just in the shower, he'll be out soon" Mrs. Wells said as she poured some ice tea in to four glasses.  We just nodded and started sipping on the ice tea. Good would be an understatement if I were to describe this ice tea.

It was cold and refreshing, I couldn't help but sigh as it ran down my throat.  Right then the door opened from one of the rooms and out stepped out someone. I couldn't see very well because there was a vase with sunflowers in them and they were blocking my way.

I stood up to get a better looked and all hell froze. There standing with wet hair, a tight white tee and denim jeans, was the infamous arrogant, flirtatious piece of poop.

My mouth dropped open and no I couldn't help it because first the "accident", then Ben and Jerry's and now he was the son of Mrs. Wells. He too was just staring at me with complete shock.

"Allie, Tori, this is my son Blake" Blake Wells? Had a nice ring to it. Wait no! Why was I thinking about his name! We have more issues at the time being. I looked over to Allie to see if she was in shock but surprisingly she had a smile on her face. What? Did she forget this was the guy at Ben and Jerry's who winked at her.

"Hello my name is Allie and this is my best friend Tori" Allie said it with such calm that it looked like she was meeting him for the first time. Me over here, I was panicking! I didn't want him to think I was stalking him or something. Wait why do I care what he thinks?! With renewed confidence, I smiled and said a quick hey. The arrogant-- or Blake just smiled and said a quick hey too.

"Don't worry he is a little shy now but then later he'll start talking" Mrs. Wells assured us. Yeah I could agree about the talking part. He sure can talk. "Come on lets eat before the food gets cold" With that we headed towards the table.

"Um I'm going to wash my hands before we eat" I said and excused myself and headed quickly towards the washroom. Once I was in, I took a deep breath in. Ok Tori you just need to relax, everything is going to be fine, I said to assure myself.

After a minute, I washed my hands and headed back to the dinner table. As I walked out, I bumped into a wall. Weird, I don't remember there being a wall here. I looked up to come face to face with Blake. I quickly stepped aside and started to head back when I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me back up against the wall. Déjà Vu?

"Look I don't know what your doing here, but you better stop stalking me" Yup this is exactly what I was afraid of. I glared at him and that seemed to make him even more mad because he pushed me even more into the wall with his body.

Not this position again, though I could feel his rock hard abs. I wonder they would feel if I ran my hands against them. Shut up brain and help me think of a smart ass come back instead of thinking about his abs!  Wow now I was talking to myself! Great! Just great!

"Look I'm not stalking you, okay? I didn't even know Mrs. Wells had a son! And I'm her neighbor" Surprised, his grip loosened and I took this opportunity to break his grasp on my hands. Once I was free, I glared at him and headed back.

This was going to be a long night, I thought to myself.
