Me and Blake Weatherly

Chapter 54

 I like reading the comments.

Um, can I just be the first one to say there will be no PREGNANCY involved in the story? I don't want to get into detail but let's just say her little hallucination of Elaine stopped them from going any 'further' into that special moment haha.

"Denny, I'm glad you called! How are you sweetie?" Mom asked me through the phone the very next day.

I held my cell phone between my ear and shoulder, laying on the bed and speaking to my mom while Erica was on the floor by the bed, polishing her toe nails.

"I'm good mom. It's beautiful here in Malibu." I told her with a small smile, although she couldn't see it.

"Hey. We ran out of those cheddar cheese pringles," Allison peeked her head through our room and Cassidy did as well. It was just us girls hanging out at the house. Blake and the other guys were out on the beach having some 'guy' time, which was cool by everyone. Girls hang out and guys hang out? I liked the idea.

Erica got up and stretched, "Really? Huh. I really liked those." She walked out and Cassidy and Allison followed right behind her. I stayed laying on the bed, staring up at the ceiling.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it there, Deniella. It's really late over here but I stayed up just to hear your voice. We miss you so much." Mom continued to praise me over the phone, and it almost triggered tears. Almost.

I swallowed and my smile widened, "I miss you too, mom."

"You turn eighteen soon! How do you feel?"

"I feel...the same."

"That's normal." She laughed for a second and it made me smile more calmly. Her voice soothes me, it reminds me that I'm only here temporary, and it's to have fun and spend some time with my friends and Blake.

Speaking of Blake...

It's been so awkward between the two of us since last night. We haven't said a word to each other this morning, or the whole time we were around each other. We would exchange smiles to each other, but not a word passed our lips to one another. I guess I kind of blew it last night.

I wasn't trying to make having sex with him awkward, and I did. I thought about Elaine and it freaked me out, so now...I feel all weird around Blake, my own boyfriend. I wasn't speaking to him and it wasn't because I was mad at him, and I didn't want him to think that either. I just...I don't know. I'm definitely pissed at Elaine, that's for sure.

After a few minutes, mom decided to leave me alone and call me again whenever she could, so I just laid there, in silence. I thought about everything. Thought about how stupid I could be...how uncool I am. I embarrassed myself. I really did.

My train of thought came to a tragic wreck as soon as Cassidy walked in.

"Guys are pulling up to the house." She announced with a small smile.

I sat up and tried to look happy.

"What's wrong, Deniella?" She asked me, worry flashing in her beautiful and bright eyes.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm...fine." It was somewhat of a lie. I guess I just hated myself at the moment.

She sat next to me on the bed, "You'll be fine. Turn that frown upside down! California is supposed to be filled with smiles and laughing and sunshine and rainbows."

I giggled at her and she just smiled, as if her goal to make me laugh had been accomplished, and she was proud at herself for achieving it. I started to hear Ryan's voice first.
