JOEY POV
"Not a hope in hells chance" Nate shakes his head. "I agree with Nate, no fucking way" Mia agrees. I roll my eyes "look Mia, this girl is like a yeast infection that Nate can't get rid of." I turn to my best friend "if Mia goes to the bar for one night and pretends to be your girlfriend it's problem solved. We're going back home for Christmas in a few days and then by the time we come back she'll have forgot all about you and moved on to her next victim to stalk." "Fine, but you both owe me big time" I look at Nate and wait for his answer once Mia has agreed "oh fuck it she might actually leave me alone if this works."
We have all headed to the bar and I don't tell Mia or Nate but I'm kind of hoping to see my bathroom budy again. I'm definitely going to Facebook stalk her tonight.
Nate is working and me and Mia are sitting at the bar. "So I heard Parker's bringing that Chloe girl home for Christmas" Mia makes small talk "yes and it's all thanks to me and my date idea. I can't believe he asked you for help before me." I scoff. We talk for a bit longer and then I see the red haired girl enter the bar, I take a mental note to actually learn her name and then turn to Mia "okay, operation save Nate is a go. The Eagle is in the nest." She looks at me confused "what the fuck are you talking about?" I roll my eyes and wonder how we are even related never mind twins, "oh my god you are useless, the crazy stalker lady has entered the bar, we discussed code before we left!" Nate leans over the bar towards us slightly "will you two muppets please stop bickering, she's coming over."
I hear her slickly sweet voice "hey, handsome, how you doing tonight" Nate gives her a wry smile "oh hello, what can I get for you" she laughs a little too loud, "you would think you would know my order by now I'm here that often, white wine please." He gives her it without saying a word, I look her up and down and take in just how much effort she is actually putting in. She has a red dress and matching shoes on. I laugh to my self when I realise in all that red she looks like a fire hydrant, she turns and sees me, "something funny?" she purses her lips at me, that are also painted red. Jesus She's like a fucking stop light. She takes me in for a moment, "oh, your the guy who banged Brooke in the bathroom aren't you, how classy of you both." she adds with an eye roll. Well okay judge Judy.
So Brooke is her name, I don't like the tone in her voice though, is Brooke not her friend? I don't get a chance to reply as Nate returns with a beer for me and she starts eyeing him like she's hunting prey. I nudge Mia where she is standing behind me out of sight of the Jessica rabbit wannabee. She straightens up and leans over the bar to Nate "hey, babe what time are you finished tonight." She asks with a sweet smile, I see the girl stiffen up and narrow her eyes at Mia. "I'll be finished for 11" the crazy girl can't help but speak up "oh Nathan, is this your sister?" Nate clears his throat "no, Georgia this is my girlfriend Mia" ahhh so Georgia is crazy pants' name.
She pretty much has smoke coming out of her ears at this point. "I didn't realise you had a girlfriend." She looks at Mia with disgust, "I must admit I'm slightly concerned about your taste if she's your type" Mia straightens up and looks Georgia up and down I can't help the "oooo girl your in for it now" that falls out of my mouth. I know that look in Mias eyes, it's the same look she had when I thought it would be funny to cut off all her barbie dolls hairs when we were 10, she got me back my cutting off my actual hair while I slept.
Mia stands off her stool and walks right up to the girl and smiles, before she leans over the bar, grabs Nate by the back of the neck and pulls his mouth to hers. The kiss is passionate enough its making me feel uncomfortable and a little nauseated. She lets go of Nate and leans in to Georgia, "maybe instead of hanging around my boyfriend like a desperate whore, you could find one of your own. And as for Nates taste no need to worry it's just fine. In fact he told me last night how much he loveeees the taste of me." She winks at Georgia then turns to Nate with a smile, "I'll be waiting at home for you to finish, naked."
When we get outside Georgia stomps past us and leaves, Mia and i are in fits of giggles, "Mia that was gross I never want to hear words like that out of your mouth again, especially in regards to my best friend. But that was amazing, I don't know who was more in shock at what you said, her or Nate." I take a few breaths to calm myself down and stop laughing. "Okay let's head home, you can help me find this Brooke girl on Facebook.
