I Blame Wattpad for My High Expectations of Men

Chapter 13 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer can't possibly be my conscience, right?

~Flashback Continued~

"Hey girly!" Kelsey shouts to me as I close the door behind me on my way back in. "You're back."

"In the flesh," I shoot her an air kiss. "Miss me?"

        Kelsey stares at me intensively for a few seconds before turning around to access her Netflix account.

"Nah," she shrugs, chuckling in amusement afterwards.

        Shaking my head at her antics, I pull up my own bean bag chair next to hers to join her as she picks our first movie for the night.

"Who were you with this time?" She asks, scrolling down the romantic comedies.

"Drake and Darrell, but sadly, not at the same time," I say, making her snort.

"What am I going to do with you?" Kelsey looks at me, shaking her head, while I pop a piece of popcorn that she made for us earlier in my mouth.

"Oh please, like you're any better," I tease.

"Hey!" She shoves me playfully, and we both laugh. "I'll have you know, when I'm in a relationship, I'm completely loyal."

"Oh, believe me, I know. I just don't get how you can handle it."

        Kelsey rolls her eyes before going back to the screen.

"You'd learn if you'd just drop all the others and stick with Ace, you know?"

"Ha! Good one," I say before popping another popcorn in my mouth and using her words as a segue for a new conversation. "Speaking of dropped, though, I'm thinking about giving Drake the boot."

"Really?" Kelsey asks, finally choosing Monster-in-Law. YEAS! JLo is a whole goddess! "I thought you said he was great in bed."

"He is, but his kissing skills," I almost shudder at the horrifying flashbacks, "are zero to none. It ruins the whole vibe, man."

        Ace wasn't kidding when he called the guy out...he really does have fish lips.

        But Ace's lips, though...

        Wow, for once, I actually don't feel like telling my conscience to shut up.

        Could be the start of something new between the two of you.

        Whoops. Spoke too soon.

"Well, I'd say that sucks," Kelsey says, turning to me, "but since it's one less than down on your journey to Ace's heart then by all means..."

        She's the one getting shoved two seconds later, but we quickly dial it down as the movie starts playing.

"How is she such a fucking goddess?!" Kelsey shouts to our ceiling, demanding answers as the credits begin to roll.

"'Cause she's fucking Jennifer Lynn López!" I answer in a 'duh' tone. "If I'm ever lucky enough to make a name for myself in Hollywood someday, JLo will be the first female lead I'll demand to work with. No questions asked," I say with much determination.

"I, cannot, WAIT for that to happen!" Kelsey beams at me. "My girl's going to be the next Robert Luketić...the world won't know what hit them!"

        Kelsey and I chuckle at her comment...but man, a girl can dream.

"Hey! You busy Friday? We haven't gone out together in a while, like just the two of us. Why don't we grab a bite to eat and then go clubbing or something later? What do you say?"
