The Curly Haired One(harlena)

chapter 1

Scarlet POV:

"SCARLET I AM TAKING YOUR BLACK NAIL POLISH" I sink further into my covers. Why is she screaming? i thought to myself. Suddenly the covers are removed from my grasp, "yo sleeping beauty, are ya gonna open your eyes or am I going to have to get a cold face cloth". "go away" I mumble, then something pinches my nose. "fine jenny i am up" i open my right eye to see the annoying woman looking down and me. "and the other one" she says "or i'll pinch your nose again". I open both my eyes to save my nose from any more pain and try to adjust to the light. "that's better, now why are you still sleeping? Its four o'clock!" she states. I rub my eyes and sit up, "no its not. Its 3.55" i say looking at my clock. "alright then ya smart bitch, but why are you still in bed?" "i was working late last night and then that new manager walks in saying he needs me to stay behind for another hour and tidy the clothes out front. So by the time i actually get out of the place and back here, you have already gone to bed and that's when i realize i don't have my keys in my handbag, so i start banging on the door but someone must have cut your ears of because you couldn't hear me an-" "i had my earphones in actually, and you do realize" "there's a key under the flower pot" we say together."Yes i know" i say while yawning "i realized after sitting their for two hours". "Well that was highly smart of ya" Jenny laughs "Well ya may get up, showered and put some slap on the face of yours because tonight" she climbs onto my bed and stands with her arms open like a butterfly "its the first day of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!" I can't help but laugh at how excited she is. "Right okay okay, no need to wake the whole neighbors up" "Scar its-" she looks at the clock "exactly 4.01. i am pretty sure they are awake!" she giggles. "just get out" i laugh. She jumps of the bed taking half of the covers with her, she is so annoying i think to myself. Before she leave she turns back around "after your shower will ya help me pick a outfit? I want to look hot for the lad's" she winks. "Yes but only if ya help me too" i point a finger at her. She nods and then heads out the door, within seconds later she is back again. "Oh and Scar? don"t forget to wash your little flower between your legs" "GET OUT" i laugh as a throw a pillow at the door. God she is a weird one. I hope out of bed and went into my en suite and started the shower. I striped outta my PJ's and got in. I suppose its best that I tell you a little more about myself. My name is Scarlet Roberson, i am 20 years old and i am currently working in a retail shop called 'New look'. I haven't exactly had an easy life, my parents both died in a car accident when i was 7 and because i am and only child, the Johnston family adopted me. I knew Jenny before i was adopted but the adoption made us closer. At 14 Jenny's mum passed away due to heart disease and then her father then passed away when we were 19 due to a heart attack. When Jenny's father passed away he left his everything that he owned including the family money which we put to good use and bought this house in London. Its a bit of a weird house but that's why we love it. It has three floors, the first floor has the big living area which leads out to the garden, the second level is where the kitchen, a dining room and a smaller living and then finally the third floor. It had two bedrooms that both have an en suite, facing each other and then a little balcony that looks over London. It was perfect, my home well our home, cant forget Jenny! Jenny is my best friend and the closest thing i have to a sister. She has been their through every up and down i have had throughout my life and you will soon learn that when we are together we can get ourselves into trouble sometimes. I am currently single and not wishing on changing that anytime soon! i have had enough of men because they are all dicks, my first boyfriend turned out to be gay, the next was a creep, the one after that tried to kill me, the next one slept with one of my friends and the last one that i was with for a year turned out to be sleeping with prostitutes. So yeah i cant trust guys one single bit and as far as i am concerned i don't need one. If i have Jenny and a packet of jaffa cakes i know i will be OK. When i had finished in the shower i got out and wrapped my big white fluffy towel around me. Walking into my bedroom I noticed that one of my drawers were open. "Jen" i shouted. No reply. "JEN" i almost screamed. "if the neighbors didn't know my name before, they sure as hell know it now" she says walking in with her pink robe on. I point to my open drawer "now last time i checked their were only two of us living in this house, and i hate when my drawers are left open. I don't mind sharing clothes with you but why were you in my underwear drawer". "Well.." she started "remember that Christmas you were so drunk and you thought it would be funny to throw all my underwear out the window?" I nodded not wanting to think of how extremely drunk i was. "Well because of you I lost all my underwear so you let me borrow some of yours" I nodded again not really sure on where this was going. "well I wore a pair of your black lace knickers and they seemed to be a real hit with the lads, so if i am gonna get some action i will be needed them" she shrugged. What? does this woman have no filter between her head and her mouth? "lets just get ready" I laugh. 2O minutes later... "What about this one?" i say holding up a yellow dress. "what is this little miss sunshine, fuck no!" Jenny laughs. We were currently sitting on my bed going through an outfit i could wear tonight. Jenny had her outfit sorted which was a tight white and red dress paired with red heels, red lips and a red clutch bag.
