Pick Me Up

'Ten girls at the same time'

I walk through the front door with a smug grin on my face, knowing I rattled Taylor with my new found confidence that was there for 10 seconds. The best 10 seconds of my life.

Man if only I was that witty normally, those boys would be rolling in faster then I roll down a hill.

Lily makes herself noticeable by sighing, looking out the window to where Taylor is pulling out.... not using his damn blinker.

She has an over exaggerated loved up look on her face. Checking Taylor out as he drives with one hand on the steering wheel making Lily weak in the knees. And me as well, but just a bit.

His arms tensing as he shifts gears and passes, he looks up to our window, seeing Lily and giving her a wink.

I roll my eyes as Lily waves with her fingers in a flirty flutter.

"He is soooo good lookin'." She comments dreamily. I think that was established today with all the eyes cast in our direction.

"Agreed." I approve.

Lily's head snaps my way faster than lightning can touch the ground. "Did Deanna just admit that a man other than Phillip is good looking? It can't be true." Her hands clutch her chest.

Ha ha.

"Are you feeling okay?" Lily asks while walking over and patting my forehead looking for a fever of any sort. I shove her away jokingly, laughing.

"Alright Alright settle down."

"So what did you and the descendant of the gods do?...Did you kiss? Did he touch you? Does he have a big dic- "

"Lily." I cut off quickly. Her face resembles a smug deer in the headlights.

"The only big dick he has... is the one on his forehead." Because he is a dick head..ha ha get it?

Lily lets a sarcastic, short laugh, grabbing my hand and leading me towards the couch. Plonking down next to one another, I bring my legs up over hers, effectively taking up the whole couch. And begin to tell her what really happened.

"Nah he took me to pick up guys, but really he didn't give me any tips. He just let me go out there and embarrass myself." I say distressed. "I don't think I'd ever be ready to face Phillip. And even though we've only been training for a day, the training didn't go anywhere." I drop my head.

"And I had met this guy - who showed more interest in Taylor then me - and he brought up what is probably the most important thing to think about - The EXTRA LITTLE BITS!" My voice is anxious. My eyes are on Lily's as my hands flip back and forth in the air.

"The extra little bits?" Lily raises her eyebrow. I nod.

"Yeah like...dating...kissing...talking - the basics really. And I am so stuck." Lily 'mmm's in 'understanding' as she gets her phone out, probably going on Instagram. I ignore her disinterest and continue my distress.

"And don't even say it, Taylor is not the answer. I don't want him to critique me, or mention my weight or how weird I am. And I don't want to lead him on- making him think that I actually know this supermodel."

My thoughts continue to run.

"And what if I start babbling and stuttering if Phil shows any type of attention to me. I mean Taylor looks at me weird sometimes and I freeze up faster than an Australian in Canada." I look to Lily for advice who still stares at her phone while conversing with me.
