Getting to Her

Nine

The rest of the week goes by without a single rude comment from Jason, no smart remarks, no inappropriate jokes, not even a look in my direction. I know he is planning something big first the free coffee and now this, my senses are on high alert instead of relaxing and enjoying my new found freedom I'm more anxious and freaked out then ever. Maybe this is his plan make me so paranoid that I slowly go crazy. He's an evil genius he doesn't even have to move a muscle and he's torturing me more than ever.

Edward on the other hand has been the sweetest he's ever been this week. Ever since I told him about my strange encounter with Jason on Monday he's been having Ben bring me coffee every morning, he said a princess should never have to wait in line. Yesterday he put money in my student account and told me to treat myself to a nice lunch, I felt bad about it at first but he said to not worry about it and he would let me pay for one of our future dates. I really want to know who he is already but he keep saying it's too soon, we've been getting closer.

 I've started to open up more to him, we've been sharing more intimate details about ourselves. It freaks me out that I'm sharing details about my life with a complete stranger but he makes me feel so comfortable sometimes more comfortable than Aubrey and she has been my best friend for years, I barely even know him.

I called Ava earlier this week and she came in the next day to look at the apartment, she fell in love with it and I sort of fell in love with her. She is the complete opposite of me and when I first saw her I was a little skeptical but as soon as we started to rant about our love/hate relationship for Grey's Anatomy I knew she was the one. 

Apparently her parents decided to cut her off when she broke up with her boyfriend. His father did business with her father and when she dumped him her dad had problems, so he decided he wouldn't help her financially anymore until she got back with him. She couldn't afford the dorms anymore so she had to look for a place of her own and that's how she found me.

It's Friday today and Ava is moving in, I offered to help her move all of her stuff and Aubrey is coming along too because she wants to meet her. Edward has been making jokes all day, telling me to make sure I lock my door tonight just in case she turns out to be a serial killer and tries to kill me in my sleep. I know he is just trying to be funny but I was not even thinking that until he started filling my head with thoughts, curse him. 

"Oh hey! Hi I'm Ava," she opens the door for us when we get there and extends her hand out to Aubrey. She's wearing a gray oversized Led Zeppelin t-shirt, fishnet tights and black combat boots.

Aubrey just stands there staring at Ava and I nudge her with my elbow, when she finally reacts it is the most unenthusiastic response I've ever heard, "uh hi I'm Aubrey." What the hell is wrong with her?

We finish loading Ava's things into our cars and head to my apartment.

"Have you gone mental or something? What's wrong with you?" she attacks me as soon as we get in my car.

"What are you talking about? And what the heck was that back there with Ava?"

"How are you letting her live with you, are you crazy? Did you see what she is wearing? Someone needs to tell her she's two weeks early for halloween! I mean she was really giving me the creeps. Her eyeliner is way too-"

"Aubrey stop you're so mean. You shouldn't judge her by what she wears she's actually very funny and nice. Just give her a chance please, for me" I turn to her and hit her with the puppy dog eyes which I know she can't resist.

She rolls her eyes, "ugh, fine. I don't promise that I'll like her but I'll try."

I reach over and squish her face, "oooo thank you this is why I wuv you!" I say in my baby voice continue to squish her cheeks as she tries to swat my hands away.

The rest of the day goes by perfectly, Aubrey has left Trevor alone for the night and has decided to sleep over. We spend the afternoon helping Ava unpack and then spent the rest of the afternoon to rewatching Grey's Anatomy and by the time we finally decide to go to bed I have converted Aubrey into an Ava lover and I think she loves her more than she loves me. 

A snoring Aubrey is laying next to me in bed, I've been trying to sleep for almost an hour now and I can't.
