〰 Take a redhead that uses her assets to get her way in business, a curly nanny who believes in true love, a dark-haired, drop-dead gorgeous stripper and you've got a curved t(h)reat.
Then add a nerdy personal trainer, a tall, dark and handsome bo...
I make my way to my bathroom for a quick shower. Humming as I wash my body and washing my hair while I think about what I was doing. To be honest I had been awake for a while on that couch. And started to move my ass to help his morning desire along. He was still softly snoring with his hand on my boob when I initiated it.
There's something really nice about waking up like that. With an arm around you and a warm body pressed up against your back. With someone who does want you. It was really nice until I found out that Noah never got the chance to read my letter. And now I feel guilty towards X and promised to go to the park with him.
I don't want to hurt him though. He's been there for me when even Mona wasn't. He seems an arrogant prick, but he's never been one towards me. I get out of the shower and towel dry my hair. I look into the mirror and feel insecure for a second. But then I remember how excited X was and wink at myself.
I decide on skinny jeans and a white tank top to wear. Comfy and casual. I tie my hair in a loose bun on top of my head and put a little bit of mascara and lipgloss on. I go for my red sneakers, since X said we were walking there.
I walk over to my desk and open the drawer. They are still there. About 5 drafts of the letter I wrote to Noah. I pick the top one up and read the first line with a smile.
'It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces'
I fold it up and stick it in an envelope. I write Noah on the front and write on the back: 'the fifth draft, the sixth died in a car crash'
I chuckle and put it in my back pocket. There's a knock at the door and I rush over to it yelling: "You did that really fast!" I open the door and the tone of my voice shoots up an octave: "Mona!"
She looks me dead in the eye and asks: "Who were you expecting? And why do you look like you're going out?" I walk over to my vanity to grab the tin with my favorite solid perfume and dab it behind my ears. I need to come up with something fast. And I need to let X know that Mona is here. Oh, this is not good. Not good at all.
I turn around and find Mona glaring at me. I nervously ask: "Do you want something to drink? How were things with Montell?" She doesn't answer and I blush. I know I will have to come clean. "M-moan? I was expecting X."
Her eyes shoot to mine and she looks pissed. "X? Why? Why were you expecting my brother?"
I feel a headache seep in and take a deep breath. Here we go. "He came over this morning with tea and a muffin. We fell asleep on the couch. He woke up a bit excited. We kissed. And -"
"Stop right there! I don't wanna hear about you doing the nasty with my brother. And why is he coming back?" I sigh and explain we were going to watch a play in the park and have a picnic. She smirks for a second and I wonder what she's thinking about. She grabs my shoulders and asks: "Ama? Are you into my brother?"
I really don't know how to answer that. I truly don't. I enjoyed kissing him, but I probably used him to feel better about myself. Because I was upset about Noah. And he came here to talk to me about Noah and he ended up... We sure made a mess here.
Mona looks me in the eye and says: "Well the time it takes you to answer that says enough. It's decided. We're going to the park to talk things through."
There's a knock on the door and Mona opens it with a wide smile. "Hellooooo brother! Had fun with my bestie?" I can see the fear in X's eyes from where I'm standing as he drops the picnic basket.
Mona grabs him by his ear and hisses: "I think there's something wrong with your ears. You should get them looked at. Thanks for the picnic though. Ama and I could really use some time to gossip about stupid guys and brothers. You know as BEST FRIENDS do."
She lets go of X's ear and he runs off. Mona is really scary when she's angry. You hardly ever get to see it, but when you do, your heart stops beating. She picks up the basket and says: "Let's go Ama. Off to the park!" I grab my keys and follow her out.

"Mona? I need to do something. Can you give me a minute?" She shakes her head and gives me the look. The look that demands an explanation. So I tell her: "I need to deliver a letter. A letter someone never received, because a car drove into his front yard and killed his mailbox."
Her yaw drops and she asks: "What? He never got it? And you believe a story like that? Who told you?" I tell her X was at my house to tell me that. "Hold up! He was there to help his best friend and ended up hooking up with you?"
I sigh and say: "We didn't and it wasn't planned..." I pinch the bridge of my nose and take a deep breath. I look up at her and she nods. I know I will have to explain it all to her later, in detail. But I'm glad she gives me the time to deliver the letter because I need to do it right now. Or I will lose my nerve.
I walk over to his house and stare at the pile of rubble in the corner of the front yard. No fence, no plants and bushes, and a ruined lawn. And even worse, no mailbox. Smart Ama. Very smart. X just told you his mailbox was run over. Now what? I contemplate turning around but hear a sound I can't quite place.
I walk towards the location the sound comes from and it's a constant grunting? I walk around Noah's house and when I reach the back yard I immediately regret it. Fuck. I should have just walked away. I should have waited until he had a mailbox up again. And what's worse I can't take my eyes off him. I stare at his bare chest and the sweat glistening on his skin.
Fuck me.
Literally.

That was Ama's pov. Next one will be from Noah's pov.
Who's your favorite? And what do you think about the Ama/X situation?
