Bad Company

Chapter 9: Unexpected

Waking up was the last thing I wanted to do this morning. I've slept for a total of maybe, MAYBE, three hours. Considering Billy and I did everything except sleep... My eyes burned and it was a chore to keep my eyelids open. Yet here I was, wide awake. Just when I was really in a deep, wonderful sleep, Billy woke me up because he had to leave.

So here I am, laying here wide awake and depressed because I feel like a dirty whore that just got used for sex by someone that I allowed myself to fall right into his trap. Could I possibly be anymore stupid and naive than I already am? Oh here's a great idea! Let's jump into bed with a gang leader/drug dealer that is the reason you sat in jail for a few hours. Wait... no... jealousy caused that. God damn it. I totally was jealous.

Sighing, I decided to get out of bed and start my day since it's clear I'm not going to be able to fall back asleep anytime soon. I work night shift tonight too! Perfect. Sighing again, I pushed my blankets back and groaned as I sat up in bed and reached over to the nightstand and grabbed my phone. A yawn escaped my lips as I unlocked my phone. My contact list was open and the screen was still on a new contact that had been made.

A smile spread across my lips as I read the contact name out, "Billy Darley."

I went to set my phone back down on the nightstand but paused as I noticed a piece of paper sitting there that read 'I'll be there to get ya tonight'. Meaning Billy would be at the Four Roses to pick me up after work tonight. I pressed my tongue against my cheek, trying to keep myself from smiling like an idiot as I got out of bed and picked out clean clothes to wear after the shower I was about to have.

"How the hell are you awake already?" Megan asked as I walked towards the bathroom, leaning against the door frame.

Megan was sitting up on top of the bathroom vanity, her feet in the sink while she did her makeup in the mirror. The shower was running and a pile of Jack's clothes were on the bathroom floor, telling me that Jack was in the shower.

"I went to bed before you guys left." I reminded her.

Megan snorted, "Oh yeah?"

I shrugged, "Yeah."

Megan stopped applying her eyeliner and stared back at me through the mirror in front of her, "You realize that Jack and I came home at 3:30...." She started, smirking.

"Oh? I didn't even hear you guys come in..." I replied.

"That's because you couldn't hear us over yourself." Jack joined in on the conversation from inside the shower.

"Ohhhhh, Billyyyyyyyy...." Megan mocked me in a whining, moaning tone.

My eyes widened as my cheeks became a bright shade of red, I tried to find the right words to say but no words were coming out. Megan was staring at me through the mirror, a huge grin across her face and she even winked at me when she realized how embarrassed I had just become.

"That was probably Christy." I lied.

Megan snorted with laughter, dropping her eyeliner pencil because of how hard she had just laughed, "She's not a hoe... anymore. She wouldn't sleep with her man's brother. Speaking of which... be quiet, her and Joe are sleeping in her room."

"What?!" I exclaimed looking at Megan's phone on the bathroom sink/counter. "It's 10:00. She works at 11:30! I'm not covering for her and pulling two shifts just because she wont get out of bed."

Megan spun around on the counter and jumped down onto her feet. She glanced back over her shoulder to take one last look at herself in the mirror before she plugged in her straightener and parted her hair into three sections so that all of her hair is perfectly straightened properly.
