What I Need... (GxG)

A Night to Forget

   The next few weeks passed painstakingly slow. After I explained what happened with Kehlani to my best friend, Alex, I promised I would put it behind me and move on. I had to stay professional, no matter how much I missed her.

 The emails, Kehlani would send me were always plainly worded. A good morning or good afternoon and the work I needed to do for that day. I'm not gonna lie, it stung. Reading the emails would always make me think about when I worked with her in the office. We were always  trading stories, I didn't realize it but in that short time we had grown so close, but now it's like none of that even happened.

I shook my head. This is not what I needed to be doing, I needed to focus. All work and no play may have made me a dull girl, but it sure as hell didn't leave me thinking about Kehlani.

  The rest of the day passed quickly and without much happening, Alex was at work so I was at the apartment by myself till late evening. 

"Honey, I'm home!" Alex let herself into the apartment boisterous as usual, I lazily lifted my head to greet her

"hey"

She paused and looked at me, then at the desk I was working at, then me again. She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it quickly. When she finally spoke her words were slow 

"Drew?" 

"Alex?" I replied back, honestly confused by her apparent confusion

"Have you been sitting in that same spot all day?"

"Um, yeah. I guess" 

Now that I thought about it I realized I hadn't gotten out of my spot since I sat in it. I don't even remember eating lunch or breakfast for that matter.

"Have you even eaten?" She asked me bewildered

I smiled sheepishly at her, "I ate a banana at 12 am in the morning, does that count?"

She gave me an annoyed smiled and strut to me and closed my laptop.

"Hey! I wasn't done!"

"Well, you're done now. You look like a zombie, Drew. A really , really dead zombie. Work time is done and now we're going out." 

I stared at her in shock. I'm wasn't gonna lie, a dominant Alex was a sexy one. I shook the thought away and zoned back into her. 

"- Are you even listening to me?"

I rubbed the back of my neck, "Not really, sorry"

"ughhh" She groaned, " I said, while I whip you up something to eat  real quick  before we go out, you're going to get up shower and make yourself look...presentable." She paused "Now GET!"

I scrambled out the chair and wobbled to the bathroom. my legs felt weirdly weak, probably from sitting all day. When I was in the bathroom, I gave myself a long look in the mirror. Damn, I really did look like a zombie and as Alex put it 'a really, really dead zombie'. 

  I started the shower and began to strip my clothes. The hot water spilling over my body felt amazing and I could practically feel the stress rolling off me, as well as the water.

 Whether I admitted it or not, Kehlani had been on my mind, but for , at least, tonight I would forget about her.

After a 30 minute shower, Alex yelling at me to get out the shower, 45 minutes of outfits and make-up, and then Alex yelling at me to hurry up and be done already, I was finally standing at the door looking "presentable" with a vinyl red mini-skirt and a black lace bralette
