Between my flings with Ash after we were officially over I did not see her too much for a bit because I met Hailey. I did in fact enjoy how it made Ash jealous but, I also got a break from all the over the top antics and got to revel in something purely sweet.
Hailey was not the brightest but she was genuine. To this day she is the most caring, loving, and joyful person I know. She radiates light practically. She's one of those people where she is so lovely it is almost sickening but, the fact that this is her being authentic makes you still have hope for this world.
We met one night outside a Baskin Robbins. My two friends whom I was with at the bar when I met Ash were with me as drunk as can be. Fucking, alcoholics. They really had a way to find me girlfriends so unexpectedly. Hailey was with a group of friends inside, as stoned as can be, eating. My friends told me what they had wanted and I ordered it for them as they took off to wait outside because they needed a smoke. The guy behind the register, maybe about seventeen, was hitting on me. I was not having it and rejected him nicely. He got pushier and refused to give me my change. I rolled my eyes and was about to walk away. Look guys, I was so done at this point. It was a little after nine at night and I had just gotten off of work. Drove home and got stuck in two hour traffic because of a severe crash and then when I got home and was about to take off my shoes and go and take a bath I walk in and see that the apartment was trashed. Then I had two drunk obnoxious girls begging me to take them out for ice cream. So, I really just did not have it in me to argue with this snotty little dweeb. Right as I was about to turn, Hailey had come over, she reached over the counter nonchalantly and grabbed my money out of the guy's hand and handed it to me. Now I strictly use my credit card. She then looped my arm with hers and walked me outside.
She told me that I didn't deserve to be treated that way and introduced herself. Like any other normal human being I introduced myself right back. Now, outside the Baskin Robbins a little ways down the street there was a fountain. Hailey and I were joking around and we heard my friends shouting and turned our focus away from each other to see them splashing and stripping in the fountain. Hailey then helped me wrangle them in and walked them back to our car. She found it hilarious while I was extremely frustrated about the whole ordeal.
We just hung out after this over and over again. We got along great and became significantly close really quickly. I thought she was straight so I didn't try to make a move on her. She later told me she thought that I thought she wasn't attractive and that's why I wasn't making a move on her. Which made me laugh so hard because she was this tall, slim, blonde girl, with a fierce jawline, and these adorably alluring brown eyes. Plus, she had traveled to so many places, liked the same food I liked, made bad puns, was helpful to others, and was passionate about her work. Overall, a goddess in anyone's eyes.
It was super late when she called me frantically begging me to come get her. She sounded like she was crying so I hopped out of bed put on some leggings and placed a grey hoodie over my black lace bralette to go and get her. My roommate was half asleep mumbling questions and I just told her that I needed to go help a friend out. When I pulled up she ran to the car from the club and we just drove. We drove down the 101; into the early morning. It was four in the morning when we finally pulled off to the side into some parking for some random beach along the way. It had been silent the whole drive there; no music even. When I shut off the engine I heard Hailey still sniffling. She wouldn't look at me as she was curled up in her seat with her seat belt off. I reached out to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. I told her she didn't have to tell me what happened if she didn't want to and that we could just sit there in silence and when she was ready we could grab something to eat.
She just nodded and leaned into me over the gear shift before she climbed over and sat on my lap and wrapped her arms around my neck as she sniffled into my chest. Looking back on it, this must of been incredibly sad but also funny to see. Let me put things into perspective for you guys. I am barely five feet and Hailey is about five feet nine inches with these gloriously long tanned legs that were curled up with her knees digging up into my uterus.
