CH.4: BLONDES

"What the f*ck?" I blurted out almost immediately when I woke up.

Some guy with a lip piercing was sleeping beside me on my very own bed and the worse part was that he was hugging me like a pillow...

"Great night, huh?" He yawned.

"Who are you?" I questioned him.

"Uh, that's rude... but I understand. You must've lost your memory or something considering the rough hustle and tumble we had last night on this very bed."

"I don't remember."

I don't get it. I only drank one cup of beer last night and yet---

"You should probably take a shower already. It's a school day and you'll be late..." His eyes was fixated on my bra.

"Damn. You should get out." I guess I wasn't thinking straight last night.

"Okay." He got up from under the covers, revealing his blue boxers.

Then he picks up his clothes from the floor before getting out of my apartment.

"Call me." He waved off.

What the hell?

I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower, trying to recall the details of last night.

Okay, I remember that I got impatient while waiting for Rob to drive me home so I walked out of the party then went home on my own...

*FLASHBACK*

"Quit following me."

"I'm not. It just so happens that we're going to the same direction." He obviously lied.

"Oh, bite me."

"Gladly." He smirked. Again, with those dimples...

"Stop stalking me."

"You don't have any proof."

"Okay, that's it!" I suddenly ran just to shake the guy off.

I reached my apartment a couple of minutes later and just when I thought that I lost him, he appeared right behind me as I opened the door to my crib.

"Boo." He whispered in my ear which sent shivers down my spine.

"Jesus! Don't do that!" I exclaimed as I spun around to face him which was a VERY bad idea.

"You're cute." His blue eyes gazed down into my brown ones.

"And you're a player." I rolled my eyes just so I could break eye contact.

"Do you want to play then?" He said seductively with his deep voice.

"No..." Unintentionally, my eyes landed on his lips where a black piercing was.

Now I'm starting to wonder how his lips would feel like with the piercing and all...

"Your eyes tell me otherwise." He leaned forward to bite my ear lobe teasingly.

I can't help but get turned on... stupid hormones.

I grabbed him by the shirt then roughly smacked my lips into his.

Then he pushed me inside my apartment and one thing led to another.

*SNAP BACK TO REALITY*

Oh God.

So it was my hormones' fault.

******

"Where did you go last night? I went looking all over for you." Rob confronted me by my locker.

"Um, I made a huge mistake." It's probably for the best if I tell him.

"Spill."

"I slept with a stranger whom I met at the party." I sighed out loud.

"Who was it?" He asked like any other normal boyfriend would.

"I don't know. He was a party crasher."

"By any chance, was he wearing a 'Nirvana' shirt?" He asked.

"It was hard to tell in the dark..."

"Let me try to describe him for you, about six feet tall, dirty blonde with pretty blue eyes and a lip piercing?"

"Yeah. You're exactly right. How'd you know?"

"Because he's standing right across from us by the lockers talking to another girl." He spun me around by the shoulders.

I should've known. He really is a player... and apparently, our one night stand was just... a one night stand.

"That's Luke Hemmings. He gets girls all the time just because he's a bad boy. So cliche." Rob rolled his eyes.

"Well, I'm a bad girl and I get boys all the time. We're not really that different." I turned back to face my locker once again.

"And did I mention that he's a freshman? Admit it, Lloyd, you have a thing for blondes." He added.

"Pretty much. Oh God. I should really rethink my life over. Things could not get any worse than this." I smacked my own forehead. I can't believe he's younger than me!

"Yeah but hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'd probably tap that guy too if he came on to me." He smiled.

"Thanks. Ooh, quarterback at 3 o'clock." I saw Niall from my peripheral vision.

"Wait, do I look okay? I mean, do I look good?" He panicked.

"You look perfect and he's... coming over here." Now I'm the one freaking out on the inside.

"Remember what I told you about playing cupid? Well, now would be a good time." He whispered.

"No problemo." I whispered back.

"Hey, man! What's up?" Rob high-fived Niall.

"Hey. I just wanted to apologize again for last night. I was being stupid." He said sincerely.

Trust me pal, you weren't the only one. I can't help but glance at Luke's direction.

"All is forgotten." Rob smiled.

"I should probably get to class. Don't want to be late for Trigonometry." Rob made an excuse and then he secretly winks at me before sauntering off.

"Mind if I walk with you to class? I mean, we are classmates after all." Niall asked for my permission.

"Sure. Hey, do you remember what you did last night?" I felt like teasing him.

"Don't remind me. I remember everything pretty clearly." He looked down with a grin.

"I also remember you being all harsh to me." He glanced my way.

"Not the first time."

"What do you mean?"

"On the first day of class, you asked me if I had any pencil and then I told you 'Do I look like someone who has a freaking pencil?'" I chuckled.

"Oh yeah. And yet you said last night that you didn't know me..." He grinned all the more.

Whoops... could I be more freaking transparent about my school girl crush?!

My eyes landed on Luke accidentally who was looking right back at me then to Niall and then back at me rather intensely...

Wait, is that a look of jealousy I see?

"Say, what do you think of Robbie?" Time to set aside the dirty blonde boy for now and just focus on playing cupid with this other blonde guy with me.
