Skylar Valentine (GxG)

Chapter 8

A few hours after opening Twist for the day, Wendy came strolling through the door. "Hey, guys."

   "Hey." Blake greeted.

   I leaned forward on the bar. "Wendy, did you know that Blake hooked up with Leslie the night of Maxine's party?"

   Wendy nodded slowly. "Uh, yeah... Why?"

   I threw my arms up. "So, you told her but not me?"

   Blake shrugged. "It didn't seem like the right time to tell you. That party kinda messed you up."

   Wendy nodded. "Yeah, I mean, she made you make out with a dog."

   I rolled my eyes. "She did not make me."

   "If you would've wound up with Maxine that night, do you think you still would've tried to get with that blonde?" Blake asked.

   I folded my arms over my chest. "That's not the point."

   Wendy chuckled. "Well, the way I remember it, that night turned you into the queen of the one night stand..."

~~~~~~~~~~
Twelve Years Ago...

   I sat at the bar, Blake and I awaiting Skylars presence.

   "Who do you think she took home last night, the redhead or the brunette?" Blake asked.

   I shrugged. "My guess would be both."

   She chuckled just as the doors swung open, Skylar making her way inside.

   "Hey, guys." She greeted, taking her sunglasses off as she sat down next to me.

   "I take it you had a good night." Blake said.

   She nodded, a slight smirk on her lips. "Oh yeah, Faye and Charlotte really know how to show a girl a good time."

   "Called it." I said.

   Blake shook her head and smiled as she handed Skylar a beer. "So, you plan on calling either of them?"

   She took a long sip of her beer. "No?Why?"

   I rolled my eyes. "Because you slept with them?"

   She shrugged. "Eh, they aren't really my type."

   Blake and I exchanged a disappointed look.

   "Well, whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess." Blake said.

   Skylar glanced behind her. "She might be a good candidate for that."

   Blake and I looked over, seeing a girl with long black hair and piercings sitting at a booth in the back.

   "Really? The goth chick?" I asked.

   Skylar shrugged, polishing off the rest of her beer. "Sure. Two more, Blake."

   Blake handed Skylar the beers.

   "Thanks." She said with a wink before taking off for the back booth.

As soon as she was gone, I took a long drink of my beer.

Blake leaned on the bar, studying me. "You still haven't told her?"

I glanced at her before letting out a heavy sigh, looking down at my beer. "No..."

"Wendy, you can't keep hiding this from her."

I threw my arms up. "What's it gonna change? I've had a crush on her since we first met, yet all she's ever talked about was Maxine West... I thought I finally got my opening... but, now look at her..."
