Arabella Blossom ❥ Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes

Chapter 29

I woke up to Alex on the phone, again. I sighed and rubbed my eyes, putting my feet on the carpet, flattening out my shirt.

'I fucking stink'

I told myself. I looked over at Alex who payed no attention to me, busy talking on the phone and writing whatever he was talking about. I was starting to get annoyed with him, but I brushed it off and decided to take a shower.

I scrubbed my hair with my shampoo and closed my eyes, tipping my head back and letting the hot water run down my hair and my back. I did the same with the conditioner, ending up singing "Heart In A Cage" by The Strokes. I heard the door open and a Yorkshire voice that melted my insides.

"Babe, do you know where my card is?"

"In my drawer" I replied. The door closed and I continued to sing silently, letting the soap run down my bare body.

I walked upstairs into our bedroom, my towel wrapped around my body and another on my head. I took that one off, drying my hair a tad and letting out in its natural state. My phone rang out and I looked at the caller ID and the time.

3:47pm

Breana

I picked it up with a "Hello?"

"Hey Bels, sorry for the late notice but I was wondering if you and Alex wanted to come out to dinner with Matt and I?"

I cupped the phone with my hand and sighed. Would he even be bothered?

I decided to ask him anyway.

"I'll ask, one second" I said, walking to the top of the stairs.

"Alex?" I yelled.

"Yeah?" He replied about 5 seconds later.

"Wanna come to dinner with Bree and Matt?"

After about 5 seconds, he replied.

"Sure" He said, but I could tell there wasn't much excitement in his voice.

"We're up for it, what time?" I put my ear back to the phone and walked back into our room.

"We'll pick you up at about 5:30, that ok?"

"Sure, see you then"

"Bye bye" She said sweetly. I put my phone back down and put a record in the CD player, starting to figure out what I was going to wear.

~

I figured out an outfit, laying it down on my bed and overviewing it. Since I knew that Alex would forget, I found an outfit for him too. I tied my hair into a messy bun, still sopping wet. I dried my body and clipped my bra on, throwing on my lace neck black skater dress. I grabbed my black JC Lita's and Alex's outfit, walking downstairs and throwing my shoes at the door. I threw Alex's outfit to him as he put the phone down and flew his hands up in the air.

"What the hell was that for?"

"Stop whining. You would have forgotten about it" I sighed as I saw him roll his eyes.

"No, I wouldn't have." He replied.

"Oh really? I doubt that." I cockily said, trudging back upstairs. I slammed the bedroom door and unpaused the music, letting it ring out. I sat on the floor infront of the mirror and got my straightner out, turning it on.

But all I saw in the mirrow was a boring, plain girl. An idea popped into my head as I smirked, grabbing my jacket and leaving the house.
