Happily ever hookup. (Book #2)

13 "So, you're not mad?"

Edited 8th May 2020

Emily's P.O.V

"Tara, Emilys here!"

"Be out in a minute!" I hear her yell back through the bathroom door.

Devon pulls a top over his head and smiles at me, showing his perfect white teeth. "Come on in" He steps aside so I can enter the apartment, it's a lot bigger and a lot more extravagant than my apartment with Hunter, but then again I wouldn't expect anything less from my bestie. "Tara's just finishing up getting ready."

"So, I'll be waiting here all day then?" I joke and he laughs. "Where are you going?"

"Hunter asked if I wanted to go out today since he has to leave again tomorrow."

The thought makes my heart sink. That's the part I hate about him coming home, inevitably, he always has to leave again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realise you two were dating now" I joke again in an attempt to lift my own declining mood.

"Sorry, yeah. We're having an affair." he grins at me making me giggle.

"Pu-lease!" Tara interrupts us making her way from the bathroom. Her hair is still wet and I get the feeling I may have been right in thinking that we're not going anywhere soon. "If anyone is having an affair it's Emily and me, we've seen each other naked more times than you can imagine and we would-"

"Ooh, Visual" Devon says gazing off into the distance, all sorts of images running through his mind.

"Don't be crude, Devon"

Devin rolls his eyes and kisses his girlfriend gently. "Says the queen of crude."

She smirks at him and shakes her head. They're so cute together.

It's surreal to think a few years ago, Devon and I were, for lack of a better word, something- or maybe we were nothing? Either way, he was interested and on a very small scale, I think maybe I was too.

I don't think anything would have materialised between us, even if Hunter wasn't in the picture, there's far too much sexual chemistry between Tara and Devon, even back then. It just took a while to realise it.

Hunter was always the one for me, as much as I tried to fight it, just like Tara and Devon were made for each other. My thoughts travel to Phoebe Buffay and her lobster comment and I grin at myself.

"Give me five minutes and we can go," Tara says bringing me out of my thoughts and I nod.

I watch as Devon kisses her again, long and hard, she was her arms around his neck and I suddenly realise how intimate they are, I look away with a blush feeling like a total creep.

"I love you," She says and he replies the same before moving away from her.

He wanders passed me, a huge smile on his face. "See you later Em"

"Bye Devon" I wave as he picks up his keys from the small dresser beside the front door.

It shuts behind him with a soft click.

Tara bends over, flipping her hair forward and grabs it into an elastic before standing back up straight. She's created a beautiful, messy bun and I envy her. When I attempt to do that I make myself look like Miss Trunchbull.

Tara sways on her feet slightly and I move to grab her but she holds onto the side of the sofa for support, blinking her eyes rapidly.

"Stood up too fast" She explains and I nod, I've done that a few times myself.
