Fall Apart

//THREE\\

Being in this relationship really turned me into an outstanding makeup artist. I covered up the bruise on my face and it was as if it never happened. Since I wanted to wear a tank top for the day, I even covered up the bruise on my arm. After my makeup was finally done, I slipped on a pair of shorts and a black tank top paired with white sandals. Coming out of the bedroom, I smelled the sweet smell of breakfast, no doubt being cooked by Lucas.

"Morning everyone" I beam taking a seat on the bar stool. "What's for breakfast? Smells amazing"

Lucas glances over at me then back down at the food. "The works. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, toast" He lists and I reach over the table grabbing a slice of toast, smearing jam on it.

"What happened to your bruise?" Josh observes, looking at me skeptically with furrowed eyebrows.

"What bruise?" I answer taking a bite of my toast and admiring my handy work.

"Smells good, Lucas" Farkle states coming in the kitchen, with Smackle on his heels. "Is it ready?"

"Yeah, just finishing up the pancakes"

"Hurry. I'm hungry" Riley whines.

Darren had finally made his way out of the bedroom, taking his seat next me. "Morning gorgeous" He says kissing me, then pulling back examining my face. "Your makeup looks good today, babe"

A smile pulls at my lips. "Thank you"

"Yeah Maya, your makeup looks amazing. You definitely have to do mine for tonight" Riley chimes in.

"Of course honey"

"Pancakes are done" Lucas announces placing the plate of pancakes on the table. We all dive in and grab our share of the food. It was a blissful morning and I took in every second of it.

Riley and I decided to go out to the store to purchase myself an outfit after I had realized I forgot to pack club outfits. I had been in such a rush it completely went over my head. The store run would have been more than perfect if Josh didn't feel the need to tag along as well. He just made me unnerving, especially with the constant questions I did not want to answer.

"What about a little dress for tonight?" Riley says looking through the clothes rack. "You definitely have the legs for it"

I let out a chuckle. "Not sure Darren wants me to show off my goods to everyone"

"Oh please. The second he sees you in a tight little dress, he'll want to rip it off you" I gape at her and we share a laugh.

"Still" I start "I'm thinking a nice top and maybe a cute pair of pants."

"Pants? It might get hot, don't you think?" Josh adds.

"I feel like wearing pants." I glance over at him and back down at the clothes. A wide grin appears when I see a dress that would be perfect for Riley. "Riles, oh my god, this is so you" I held up the dress for her.

Her eyes sparkled at the mere sight of it. "I'm so trying that on." She snatches it from me and races to the dressing room making me laugh. I'm soon left feeling uncomfortable by Josh's stare.

"What?" I finally say breaking the silence.

"Your makeup is really good today."

"Uh, thanks" We walked over to the chairs set up by the dressing and sat down.

"Are you okay?" He asks genuinely still facing me. "Anything you need to talk about"

I shake my head. "Nope" I say popping the p. "I'm all good" And just then Riley came out the dressing room looking just dazzling in the dress.
