Chapter 31 - jealousy

Julie's POV

The buzz coming from across the bathroom warns me that my time is up. I quickly apply another layer of mascara and run my fingers into my hair and secure a band around my straightened hair, creating a pony tail. My hair is soft and my skin is clean from the shower I finally took last night. I straighten my tank top, blue jean shorts and grab my phone before exiting the bathroom.

I meet Jess in the living room, we both grab granola bars and exit the hotel together.

 We wait patiently for the elevator to reach the bottom floor. The doors open and Jess and I exit the glass shortcut. I look around the hotel and spot Cara sitting in a golden lace chair. She's holding a magazine with herself and another model on the cover. I laugh as I get close enough to see that she's reading what the magazine had written about her.

'Cara says she loves when boy's make the first move, "But I'm an outgoing and intimidating person so I'm usually the one to ask the boy out." Cara tells us.' is what the magazine page reads in bold writing.

(A/N: I'm aware that Cara is lesbian and that she has a girlfriend, but I read in a magizine that she said she asks boys out more than they ask her out.. Obviously they lied about getting that quote from her, since she doesn't like boys in that way haha. anyways, keep reading :) p.s. ily)

My laughter makes Cara turn around in confusion, she smiles as she sees it's me.

"Julie!" Cara's accent makes my name sound more fancy than it is, but I love that.

Cara stands to her feet and gives me a large hug that I happily return. "What should we do today?"  she asks.

"Shopping?" Jess says hopefully behind me.

"Yesss!" Cara and I agree, exaggerating the word.

"So, how was the club?" Cara brings up.

Jess scoffs beside me as we continue to walk through the large mall.

"How did you know?" I dodge her previous question.

"I think you drunkenly texted me." Cara laughs at the memory.

"What did it say?" Jess laughs at the possibilities. Cara pulls her phone out of her large purse and taps the screen a couple of times before bursting into giggles. Jess takes the phone from the hysterical Cara, and soon can't stop laughing either. I snatch the phone from Jess and glare at the both of them. Cara is now clutching her stomach from laughing so hard and Jess' head is thrown back. We've stopped walking as I read the message over and over.

I roll my eyes in annoyance but my cheeks flush with embarrassment.

"You guys are so immature." I can't help but laugh with them.

"Y-you said i-it" Jess stutters in laughter.

"Yeah!" Cara agrees, starting to calm her breathing.

"I'm never getting drunk again." I mumble and they both begin to laugh again. I ignore their laughter and continue to walk through the large mall. They stumble as they try and catch up to me with their laughter.

***

After two hours of shopping, my stomach growls.

"We should get food." I suggest.

"Agreed." Jess nods.

We step onto the escalator and wait til we reach the top floor. The food court is filled with people and we push our way through the large crowd.
