The Poison Of Your Love (Sweet Pea love story)

Confusion

I opened my eyes.

The afternoon sun shone through the curtains.
It was warm and hopeful.

That's when I noticed the arm wrapped around my waist.
I felt breathing above my head.
Sweet Pea.

And it all came back. The drinking. The high. Running. And Sweet Pea.

A smile crept to my face.

I pulled his hand to my mouth and lightly kiss it. I looked at the scars that decorated his knuckles.

I pulled out my phone from under my pillow and checked the time.
3:45pm

"Oh fuck!" -I screamed

I scrambled out of the covers and ran to my closet.
I took a pair of black jeans and put on a black Lacey push up bra. Lastly a plain black tee. I already had on my bracelets and my necklace.

"Shit!" I screamed

I ran to the bathroom and brushed my hair and brought it into a clean bun. I quickly did my edges and brushed my teeth.
I washed my face and put on a tinted moisturizer. I blended it in with my beauty blender and continued to dot on concealer. I used my dip brow to darken my brows and used the leftover on the brush to mock eyeliner. I dug for my false eyelashes and applied glue to them. I dashed to my kitchen and turned on the tap.
I sipped some water and satisfied my insane thirst.
I dashed back to my bathroom and put on my false lashes.
I fucking forgot socks.
I growled and ran to my bedroom where Sweet Pea, now awake. Was putting on his boots.

I paused to talk to him but I didn't have time.
I have a shift at Pops.

I raided my clothes till I found a pair of socks.
I pulled them on and swiped my phone off my bed. I laced up my converse and took my pack of just smokes, And lighter. Sweet Pea walked out of the bathroom and yawned.

"Hey I've got to go but I'll catch ya later" -Sweet Pea
And he walked past me and left without another word.

"Prick" -me

I stood there in dis belief.
I gathered myself and left my apartment and locked my door and waited for the elevator to take me down.
Running down the stairs would have been faster.
I sprinted for my car and shoved the key into the ignition. And barely checked to see if it was safe to leave.

I gunned my car to get me to Pops.
I made it in time.

As I walked inside. Pop was happily minding the register.

"Mikayla good afternoon! Your uniform is in the back and I'm sure people will start coming in to get after-work milkshakes." -Pop

"Afternoon Pop, it's good to see you"
-me

My head hurt and my vision was playing games. But other than that. I was really hungry.
I looked at my uniform and it seemed like it would fit. But it probably wouldn't. Just like how a guy may seem nice but turns out you just played a part in his line of girls he got to second base with.
I scoffed at myself for caring. Then I changed and put on my "I'm happy to serve you face".

After a hour of taking orders and serving meals. I took a sip of a well deserved strawberry milkshake.
I was on my 5 minute break anyways.

When I get off work at 10 I was going to sleep.

But it seemed like time was taking its time to reach 10 o'clock.
9:23

Fangs walked in.
This brought a smile to my face to see someone familiar.

"What can I get for you?" -me

"Burger and fries" -Fangs

"Coming up" I wrote down his order and handed it to the cook.

"Can I get you anything else?" I asked

"No I'm good. But I didn't know you worked here?" -Fangs

"Yea I started just recently. Have you heard from Toni?" -Me

"No I haven't seen her. But I don't blame her. I woke up with a massive headache." -Fangs

"Well that'll teach you not to sip on such a big bottle" I teased

We both laughed

"Did you get home alright?" -Fangs

"Sure...I mean there were some complications but I did manage to get home" -Me

"What kind of complications? Was it those fucking goulies!?" -Fangs

"No, no it wasn't but...I think my joints were maybe laced. I don't know. But I did have a minor bad trip on the way back." -Me

"So there's no specific reason why Sweet Peas been hiding out at the Whyte Wyrm?"-Fangs

"He has?" -Me

"Hmmhmm" -Fangs

"Uh...no. I can't think of a reason"-Me

*ding

I turned around and took Fangs food and handed it to him. He payed and leaned close.

"He seems pissed" -Fangs

And left.

After my talk with Fangs. Time seemed to rush and I got off work.
I slowly walked to my car and debated my options.
I could go talk to Sweet Pea and clarify what happened last night.
Or I could leave it to fate and let it handle its self.
Both options sucked. Because I wasn't feeling up to it.
I opened my phone and looked at my Snapchat.
I totally forgot me and Toni exchanged snaps.
I hit her up and asked her if she wanted to hang. Maybe even a sleepover. I texted her my address and told her to just walk in.
She quickly replied with a snake and a thumbs up.

Perfect. A girls night. 🐍💋
