Chapter 9 - McDonald Hoes

We lay side by side in bed, our feet entangled with one another, Steve's arm was around my waist, snuggling me into his warm embrace. "So, what was Hannah so upset about today? And why did you try to make Ryan infertile for the future?" I laughed softly, "What I'm about to tell you is for my boyfriend, Steve Rogers, not for Mr. Grant. Got that?" Steve sighed then nodded, "Ryan forced Hannah to have sex with him and I simply stood up for her." Steve knit his eyebrows, "That's serious, she should report this. I thought he just broke up with her or cheated on her."

I shook my head, "Her parents are sort of old fashioned, she doesn't want them finding out." He sighed loudly, "Well someday they will, she can't hide this from them forever." I just shrugged my shoulders, "Then it's her choice when." Steve nodded, "You know, Mr. Grant and Steve Rogers are the exact same person except Steve had blue eyes and used to have blonde hair." I laughed, "Your blonde hair was beautiful but I don't know... I think I find this Steve sexier, you seem more like a bad boy." Steve frowned adorably, "I'm not a bad boy." I laughed kissing him on the cheek.

He smiled, pulling me tighter against him, suddenly I bit my lip, "Steve, I...need to tell you something." He kissed the side of my head, "Anything, doll." I almost, instinctively, bit the inside of my cheek, "I'm going to prom...with Hannah." Steve grinned at me, "That's great, you guys are going as best friends?" I blinked, "Actually, we're going as a couple, each other's dates." Steve's eyebrows furrowed, "Oh you two are..." I took a deep breath, this felt more nerve wracking than when I was practicing for coming out to my homophobic mother, "Yah, I'm bi and she's pan." I let out in one breath adding a nervous giggle at the end.

"Cool." Steve said and I looked into his eyes to see genuine acceptance, I released the strangled breath I was holding in. "So...do you two have a history?" Steve asked nervously and I fiddled with the hem of his t-shirt. "Um, we dated for 9 months, longest relationship I've ever had." Steve nodded, "It's good you two are still friends." I smiled, "Yah she's a sweetheart." 

Steve played with my hair, I could feel his warm hand radiating heat on my upper back, "Um...but like you two...I mean we're still...um." I saved him the awkwardness by laughing shortly before kissing him, "Steve it's just prom, I'm still with you." Steve smiled, "Good, I mean I'm not jealous or anything. That would be juvenile, no, I'm just checking." I nodded, playing along, to relieve his tension, "Yah, I get it Cap."

Saturday came and before I knew it I was at Ava's front door knocking. No one opened it so I frowned and let myself in with their spare key under the flower bin. "Hello?" I called out. Granted I was half an hour early but I knew that Ava's mom was probably at work so was her dad, I don't know where her sisters were and she couldn't have still been sleeping in at, I checked my watch, 1:00 in the afternoon. I shook my head at that girl, "Ava?" I called out again to be met with stony silence and my slight echo.

I quietly climbed up the stairs to her bedroom, it was the last door on the left. My feet barely made a sound as I crept along the wall in hopes of scaring the daylights out of Ava. I crept along until I firmly stood outside her bedroom door, frowning at the growing groaning noises coming from her room, she's probably working out I thought. I quietly creaked opened the door and immediately froze in my tracks at the horror I saw.

Ava was half naked under Arnie, his back muscles rippling as he moved down towards her panties, leaving small kisses. "AHHHH." I yelled, backing away with my hands over my eyes. I heard two more screams that suspiciously sounded like Ava and a young girl. "OMG, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU MEGAN." Ava's defeaning voice rang through my ears like she was yelling bloody murder. I scrambled to the bathroom on the upper floor, locking the door behind me just as Ava started to pound on it.

"Um...babe, I think I should go." I could practically hear Ava smoothening out her hair and shooting him a flirtatious smile, "Ok, see you later. Sorry about Megan." Arnie just laughed nervously, after five minutes, Ava knocked on the door, "He's gone." I chewed on my lip, "Are you going to kill me?" She sighed, "No, not today." I slowly opened the door, approaching her with caution. I smirked, "So how'd the fuck fest go?" She glared at me, "I need to get ready, Hannah should be here soon, come on."

Needless to say, Hannah was there pretty soon, just as me and Ava finished discussing the details for Hannah's surprise as Ava applied a light layer of makeup. "Ok, so Diane, Kylie and Simi said they'd meet us at the mall." Hannah explained as we grabbed our purses, I nodded in understanding as did Ava. "Can you drive?" Ava tossed me the keys to her family's sedan. I frowned, "I can, but is Auntie okay with that?" Ava rolled her eyes, "Oh she loves you, she said she feels safer if you drive it than me." I smirked, "Not just her, hun." Ava pushed a breath out glaring at me.

"Jheez, what's with her?" Hannah inquired, "Nothing, it's just because I caught her fucking Arnie." Hannah squealed, "No way!" Ava just rolled her eyes, "Yes, yes. But it's not like I lost my virginity to him." She scoffed. "Nooo, because that was lost a loooongggg time back." Hannah giggled and I shot Ava a grin as I climbed into the driver's side of the car.

Half an hour later and several scathing remarks from Ava, we arrived at our destination. I looked at the mall in disgust, it was once a fine mall, with few but quality wise, good stores. Now because of the rebuilding it looked like roadkill and the stores inside were suddenly tacky and not that great. However, sadly, this seemed to be the only mall in our region and I really didn't feel like driving 2 hours to another mall so I crossed my fingers, hoping to find a nice prom dress.

Once we entered the mall, I immediately regretted my decision of not going to another mall. Not only did it look like roadkill, but it smelled like one too, of course mixed with the summer breeze air fresheners on sale at Walmart. I crinkled my nose in disgust as I followed my two friends into the mall, we made a beeline to the food court and sat on the sticky tables while we waited for the rest of our friends.

Once we met up with our other friends and our friend group was complete, the journey to find stylish dresses in this disgusting mall began. We must've been shopping for hours, my feet were killing me, I tried on 32 different dresses, each one seemed tackier then the previous. At last, defeated by the cruel master of this stupid mall, we made our way to our cars, driving to McDonald's since none of us had eaten anything since breakfast. We were so preoccupied with buying dresses that we barely noticed our growing appetites.

"Yah, um 2 Big Macs, 1 McChicken, 20 chicken nuggets, 2 large fries, and 1 large coke. Oh and I almost forgot one large Cadbury egg McFlurry." The cashier's eyes widened as I looked back and hinted to Ava, "What do you guys want?" Needless to say, McDonalds biggest consumer profit that day was our dainty little group of 6 slim girls with corroded arteries. We grabbed our food and found a table, laughing at our luck and snarling down our 3 course meals.

"Next time, we're going to WestWord Mall." Diane grumbled. "Oh that new mall that opened up, yah it's 3 hours away but we need to buy dresses. Prom is in less than a month." We all nodded, "I heard there's an indoor arcade, amusement park with rollercoasters and a pool." Hannah let on, I grinned, "Let's take the guys too, they can hold our dresses. Besides Ava and Arnie and Diane and Aaron need some loving time." The two girls blushed at my teasing. "Oh yah, what about you and Mr. Grant?" I frowned at Diane, "Nothing's happening between us, that's illegal since he's a teacher and I'm a student."

Diane grinned, "I thought you were a bad girl." I shrugged, "At times, I can be quite bold." Anyways, we agreed to go next Saturday, I intended to use the money I kept for art supplies since my birthday was coming in 2 months anyways.

After taking a nice, long shower, I found Steve waiting for me in the room as I dried my wet hair with the towel. "Find anything?" I shook my head, "But that mall is stupid, that's why. We're going to the new one 3 hours away on Saturday." Steve nodded, "That's another day without you." I smirked, "Jheez, Cap. Just how much did you miss me?" I asked with half lidded eyes, crawling towards him on the bed. He sighed, "A lot, doll." He pulled me into a bear hug which I was not expecting as a little gasp came from me, he kissed the top of my head.
