Addiction (Relaunch)

Chapter Eight: Brand New Day

"Oh my god, I had the best sex of my life yesterday...", the sound of a brat girl speaking to her friend, probably on the phone, woke me up so loud as she laughed nonchalantly. 'Can't a girl get some peaceful sleep.' , I groaned in frustration as I grabbed my pillow and cover it over my head. "Yeah...I met him outside a bar yesterday. He's so cute...", that ditsy brat continue gossiping on her phone. 'This brat. What is she doing in my house', I woke up, checked the time. It's half past nine. 'Who is this brat?'. I need to find out. I changed into a casual attire, clipped my hair up, and head for the door. I'm ready to roast some bitches in the broad daylight.

As I open, this girl in her blue tee and pink panty, greeted my eyes. 'What is she doing sitting on the kitchen counter?' She looks surprised and stunned to see me coming out the room. Immediately, she slid down from the kitchen counter. I walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of drink. "Let's talk another time.", she said as she shut her friend off. This is another different girl. I'm just going to mind my own business from now on. "Hey!", the ditsy brat greeted me with a gleeful smile. 'So fake.' I greeted her with a small nod and gave her a smile. "I'm Covey, by the way...", she continued. "Ash in the face.", I smiled and continued pouring up my glass of water.

"Are you...?", she asked while looking at Alex's closed door, probably curious if I'm somewhat relative to Alex. "We're housemates.", I clarified. "Oh...", her expression changed to a fake friendly brat to a don't-touch-my-man vibe. I took a sip of my drink. "You both-?", before I can even finish, she answered it for me, "Yes. We did. We fucked. Did you happen to hear us?". Damn, she is getting way cockier than usual. 'Trust me girl, I have no interest in your one night stand.' . I can only give her a smile as I continue sipping up my drink. "Erm...not trying to be nosy, I usually don't get myself involve with his shit...", I said, swallowing the liquid in my mouth as I point towards his door with my thumb to the back of me. "But you oughta sound way more polite on our first meeting, Covey, especially when you're here for a one night stand only.", I continued, speaking in a i-don't-give-a-fuck-about-your-attitude way.

She rolled her eyes. "What do you mean one night stand?", she exclaimed. "We met at the bar yesterday.", she continued, being in denial. I pretended to take pity of her. "Sigh. You need to understand my dear, he (pointing to his room), is only going to fuck you one time and throw you off. He has a girlfriend already.", I told. "And you (pointing to her back) are just his fling.", I continued. Her face turned red. 'She looks upset but also sad.' . "How do you know that?", she questioned me rudely. I sighed. "I live here darling. I've seen it a few times. And I just moved in not even a month ago.", I clarified.

"You shouldn't go around airing stranger's dirty laundry wherever you go, Ash", Alex came out of nowhere and butted in our conversation. "I thought I told you to leave.", Alex looked back at Covey in an instructing manner. This time she looked sad, as though she is being scolded by her master. 'The power of his appeal. Poor Corey.'

"But, Alex...you have yet to give me your number.", she spoke in a seductive manner as she slide across the kitchen counter. 'Hello? I'm still here.', I stared at the interaction between the both of them. Her hands grasping at his big arm. "Don't you want more from what we have done last night?", she continued seducing him. "I'll keep you two to yourself.", I smiled awkwardly as I walked back to my room. I need to leave.

Alex held me by my arms abruptly. "Where are you going?", he murmured. I looked at him and turn behind. He signed to me with his eyes, ordering me to help him out. I glared at him yet still turn myself around. "Covey, you see...the thing is, Alex is my boyfriend...I don't want to tell you that because we are in an open relationship. So, he does bring girls over from time to time. And yes, I couldn't care any less of who he chose to have sex with so long as I know his heart is here with me.", I told her in a rather condescending manner, approaching her as I speak. "So, if I know his heart isn't with me. I may do something really bad. What do you think I would do?", my head shot dead glare at her. She felt threatened and looked at Alex. "Liar!", she yelled at him.
