Tall Dark and Handsome Meets Peaches and Cream

Is It White Girl Wednesday Already?

My alarm(also known as the ever annoying Ariel) screamed in my ear to "wake the hell up" before she threw me on the floor just like yesterday. As she walked out the door cackling, I cursed her and the universe while dragging my aching body to my bathroom to find an Advil... Or maybe 10. I had a pounding headache and my side hurt like a bitch. I pulled up my shirt to see why and saw this weird tape thing covering a spot near my rib and so of course, I ripped it off like the dumbass I am. Damn, that really hurt. It was like getting a wax and I've had more than enough of those to know they weren't exactly a good time. I looked down to see what was under it and my mouth hung open.

I got a fucking tattoo! And it doesn't even really make sense to me. Ariel is going to murder me! We always said we would get tattoos together, so if I got one without her... I don't even want to know what's going to happen. I am so dead. She's going to burn me alive or worse, make me listen to Justin Bieber until my ears bleed or my head falls off!

But seriously what the hell was I thinking last night? Well, I guess it could've been worse I could have some sleazy guys name tattooed on my ass. Oh shit, I better check.

Nope, my ass is clear. Thank you universe finally something goes my way!

I shove some pills in my mouth to try and make this hangover go away sooner, and quickly get dressed making sure to cover my tattoo completely, so Ariel won't see any of it. I stumble into the kitchen and see Mason sitting there shirtless drinking coffee.

"Seriously Mace put a god damn shirt on." He rolls his eyes and continues drinking his coffee while ignoring me. A few seconds later Ariel comes and sits in Mason's lap and they start making out while I grab a cliff bar. They finally pull back for air and Ariel addresses me.

"Rough night huh Kam? Can't believe we got tattoos. I love mine, what do you think of yours?" Wait. She got one too? Yes! She's not going to kill me!

"I don't really get mine, but it is pretty sick looking," I pull up my shirt and show my tattoo to her and she does the same.

"Always together, never apart," I read off of Ari's rib.

"Maybe in distance, but never in heart," she finished reading off my new ink.

"That totally makes sense now," I state while admiring the black cursive script adorning my body. "This definitely still hurts though," I added. She nodded her head in agreement with me while we both pull our shirts down. I decided to take my phone out of my pocket and check for any new messages. My phone started buzzing, saying I had 1 new message from an unknown number. I read the message, saying "Hey can't wait to meet you tonight. I hope your as beautiful as Ariel says you are." Shit. I'm going to kill her!

"Ariel," I say in the sweetest voice I could muster.

"Yes?" She says hesitantly. Too hesitantly. I lunge for her but Mason grabs my arm and pulls me back.

"Let me go! She's gone too far this time! She knows I hate relationships! And doesn't she remember what happened last time I went on a blind date? Cause I do. No way. Not happening sister." Ariel peaks out from behind Mason's back and says

"I just want you to experience your happily ever after, like I have with Mason."

"Ari happily ever afters don't exist for girls like me. You should know that better than anyone."

"Kam please just go to dinner with him, he's Mason's cousin and he just got out of a really bad relationship it will crush him if you don't go. I'm begging you, I'm ready to get down on my knees if I need to." And if that little speech didn't convince me enough, she pulled out her secret weapon, her puppy dog eyes. Those damn eyes get me every single time. So I don't know if it was the aftermath of the hangover, or just plain stupidity but, I begrudgingly gave in. How bad could this date be?
