It had been a week since Bea's car broke down and she still hadn't left. Her car was fixed but now her new apartment apparently had mold, so before she could move in they had to test negative. She offered to get a place to stay but me being the friend I am; insisted she stayed here until the mold was gone. But now...I hated thinking this but; a best friend is not your sibling for a reason, if Bea was my sister I'm sure our relationship would be different, not seeing your friend everyday can seem bad but sometimes you need a break. I know this because I needed a break from Bea, she was driving me insane!
6 days ago
"Ellis do you think you could maybe get Cheerios next time you're out, I hate asking but that's the only breakfast I like" Beatrice was sat at the counter painting her toe nails.
"Yeah, of course!" I smiled turning the kettle on. Mornings in our house normally were quiet and usually tom and I went and did stuff but I felt bad for leaving Bea home alone with nothing to do. "Maybe we could go on the boat this morning" I suggested, hearing a mhm mumble from Bea as she concentrated on her toes.
I heard toms footsteps rumble down stairs and into the kitchen. "Morning Bea" he said full of energy, grabbing a mug off its hook. His hands gripped my waist kissing my cheek. "Morning babe"
I smiled resting my head on his shoulder, "tom, Paul called, probably wanting to golf again" he nodded his head biting into an apple. "Seems like he wants to lose again" he chuckled.
"Uh Bea" I heard tom say slowly. I turned around noticing she was painting her toe nails over the Spider-Man comic book.
She looked up "yeah?" I reached for the comic book sliding it from under her foot. "Oh is this yours?" Bea laughed nervously.
I handed the comic book to tom who looked at the cover, there was purple sparkly nail polish on Spider-Man's suit. "Uh yeah, well it's Toms, he is using it to study up for each movie while he's Spider-Man in marvel."
Bea covered her mouth "tom I'm so sorry, I had no idea I thought it was spam mail you were intending on throwing out" she awkwardly laughed. Tom nodded his head and forced a smile. He walked up stairs with the comic book gripped in his hands.
"Geez I hope he isn't mad" Bea said closing the nail polish bottle.
"Tom? Mad? No, it's fine...it's fine" I knew deep down he could probably cry, that comic book cost at least $400, since it was an original copy marvel lended him.
"Well I'm gonna go take a shower" she hopped
Down from the stool running upstairs to the guest bathroom.
I sighed as I entered our room.
"Hey Tom" I peered inside our bedroom, he was sat on our bed trying to wipe it off with a towel. He glanced over to me and smiled once our eyes met. "Is it going away?" I asked shutting the door.
His smile faded, "no... but Ellis it's okay I'm not
Mad at your friend, she didn't know, it was my fault for leaving it around the house" he scooted to the end of the bed. I smiled sitting next to him. I knew what he was trying to do, he deep down was upset, but didn't want me to feel bad.
"I know you're upset, but I appreciate you trying to make the situation seem better" I smiled at his empathy.
"Where is Bea?" Tom asked.
"In the shower" I sighed laying back on the bed. "I was thinking we could go on the boat this afternoon" I suggested as he leaned over me.
Nodding his head, a large smile appeared on his face, "what?" I laughed "We have until she gets out" he smiled leaning down kissing my lips.
"Okay but we have to be quick" I said sitting up, pulling his pants down. He grabbed a condom, holding it with his teeth waiting for me. With my help he pulled down my leggings leaving me with my underwear.
"Hey Ellis" I heard a few knocks on the door.
"Yeah?" my voice cracked, an effect of Tom continuing to kiss down my jaw and neck.
"I can't get the laundry machine to turn on" she yelled from outside the room. I tried my best to
Sound casual but with tom kissing every inch of my body made it hard to focus on one thing. "Are you okay?" She said after pausing.
"Uh- uh- yep- I'm just- uh... organizing socks right now!" Tom looked up at me raising his eyebrow. I shut my eyes, that sounded so stupid. "I'll be right there" I pulled my leggings up, hearing tom groan stepping away from me. I turned around he was just standing there with his boxers at his knees picking up the comic book off the shelf. I mouthed I'm sorry before opening the door.
"So I was trying to get it to turn on but it has so many buttons" Bea said as I followed her to the laundry room.
"Oh yeah it's confusing I'll show you" I smiled.
"I didn't know you organized your socks?!" Bea said grabbing her clothes off the dryer. I smiled.
Day 5
"Hey Ellis I hope you don't mind but my sweatshirt was dirty so I just borrowed one of yours" Bea said exiting her room.
I nodded my head "oh!" I smiled, truth is the sweatshirt she had on, it was Toms favorite sweatshirt, he named it the lucky sweatshirt because every time he wears it he thinks he gets laid more, "you sure you don't want to wear this one?" I say grabbing one of my nice ones from the top shelf.
"No this one fits the best" she smiled walking down the steps. "Plus it's so much work to change" she laughed as I followed her down to the living room, departing from her and heading towards tom in the kitchen.
"Oh hey I have a sweatshirt like that, actually funny story every time I wear it-" tom began.
"TOM" I interrupted him, "he means he bought me that sweatshirt because it goes with my eyes" I smiled covering for him. "Right Tom?"
Bea gave us a weird look "you guys can be so weird sometimes" she laughed turning back to face the tv.
"Is that my lucky sweatshirt!" He whispered.
"I offered to give her one of mine but she insisted on that one!" I whispered-yelled back.
"Ellis!" He whined. "Bea actually that-" I kicked his leg from behind the counter, "th-that show is my favorite"
"The Kardashians?" Bea questioned. And he quickly nodded his head followed with a mhm
"OW! Ellis!" He whispered rubbing his leg.
Day 4
"Okay Ellis, I like your friend a lot, but I need boundaries" Tom folded his arms as I brushed my teeth.
"Tom she's going to be gone in a few days, trust me she's driving me crazy too, but once her apartment is free of mold than things will go back to normal" I reassured him. I could tell he was not buying it. Wiping the remaining tooth paste from my lips on a towel, I wrapped my arms around his neck, "do it for me" I smiled. His eyes softened is arms still folded as he sighed.
We headed down stairs and tom was back to his normal self, "hey Bea, what are you eating?" Tom said walking to the counter. I saw what he saw and this couldn't be good. I watched as he glanced from the box of fruit roll ups to the wrappers on the counter.
"Tom" I said. He sighed and grabbed the box putting it back on top of the fridge. Glancing back at me.
Hey guys! Hope you're having a great day!
