Summer Lover

Who does she think she is?

Chapter 2:

“Love, don’t you think it’s a bit early for that? I mean we haven’t even met.”

I had no reaction. Normally I would be all flirty but this time I couldn’t. She caught me off guard and honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed by her beautiful hazel eyes and even though it was kind of dark, you could actually see it. I realized that she was with her friends, so I snapped back to reality.

“Err ... Who said I wanted to?” I replied defensively.

“Well, you literally just grabbed my boobs so… I’m guessing you want a piece of something.” She answered while moving her hips seductively.

“You’re so full of yourself! It was an accident.”

“Hmm, whatever makes you sleep at night love.” Winking at me and laughing with her friends.

“I don’t even know what I’m still doing here.” And I walked back annoyed to where my friends were.

Liam of course, didn’t waste a minute to tease me about what had just happened.

“Ha-ha, Ian you are the b-best! O-only you to do s-something like that.” He said, clearly out of it and drunk as fuck.

“It was an accident!” I shouted extremely annoyed, ending the conversation there.

She spent the night gazing at me and trying to tease me but I tried not to give her too much attention. Although she was cute, her sassiness and bitter attitude was extremely annoying and I had only met her tonight.

It was 4am when I got home. Emily was driving because Liam was in no condition to drive. She dropped me home and during the trip, I couldn’t get out the fact that that girl was so annoying and so up herself. I got home and I saw my mom in her robe with the rolling pin on her hand. She looked furious.

“Ian Stephano! Do you know how worried I was?” she shouted.

“Couldn’t you at least have sent me a text saying you were okay?”

My mom was a loving, caring and liberal person. She was fine with me and Daniela going out and partying as long as we were safe but when she’s angry, she will pick on you and will give you the longest two hours speech of your life. I try to stay away from the bad list but when it comes to going out I have to make sure I text her so that she can go to bed. Otherwise, I’m fucked.

“Mom? What you doing with the roll dough?” I questioned her, a bit scared.

“You didn’t answer my question, Ian!” She gave me the look.

“I’m sorry, I got a bit drunker than I should have and forgot.” I looked away, not wanting to make eye contact.

“Alright, but next time make sure you text me just so I know you’re alright.” She said calmly this time. “Now, I have to wait for your dad. I will beat him up with this if he appears with lipstick marks.”

“Oh my god, mom I’m sure he’s on his way.” I chuckled and I gave her a kiss of goodbye.

As soon as I got to the bed, I passed out.

The next morning, I woke up with the biggest hangover ever. The pounding in my head woke me up, it kept pounding on around my brain that it felt like I was getting a bruise. I felt like I was going to throw up. Usually, I can handle the drinking well, but yesterday, not so much.

Although I was hungover, Liam, Emily and I, along some other friends were going to the beach for the first bath of the summer. We are meant to meet up at the bus stop at 2pm because we are walking there. It’s not that far and we could use some exercise.

I got up and my mom was making lunch. It was already 11.30am, so yeah. I grabbed some painkillers from the cupboard so the pounding in my head could go away. Then, a heavenly smell of came into my nostrils. The smell took me back to Portugal. My mom was preparing her favorite dish: Turkey beef with cream and mushrooms, and it was also my favorite.

“Finally you’re up! I was wondering when you were going to get your ass out of that bed.” She said, still sounding annoyed.

“Mom, it’s the holidays. I can sleep until the afternoon if I want!”

“Well, Liam called because you didn’t pick up your phone and he said he will come here in a bit.” She informed me.

“I didn’t hear the phone.” I replied. I went back to my room and got my phone. I had five missed calls from my mom last night, three missed calls and two text messages from Liam, today.

Liam it’s like part of the family, so he would come around any time.

“But okay. By the way, where’s Daniela?” I added.

"She’s at the beach. That means she’s not having lunch with us if that’s what you’re wondering.”

Daniela was my fake twin sister. They say twins always get along, but I don’t think that’s true because we’re always fighting and arguing even though we manage to get along in some situations. Also, I’m very protective of her. Let’s just say if someone dares to break her heart, I will break his spine.

“Pff... I don’t care.” I said. “I’m gonna take a shower and get ready.”

“Alright, hurry because I think Liam is almost here.” She shouted but I had already left the kitchen.

Under the warm water, my muscles started to relax and felt free. You know that feeling of freedom under the shower and where we decided to make life decisions. Unexpectedly, I remembered that girl at the club. I don’t know why but I couldn’t seem to get her out of my head. Her hazel eyes and that cute smile of hers were beautiful. Although her attitude kind of made me dislike her.
