Forgotten Love

sixteen

The next morning I walk into Jen's room with a smile and coffee. "Morning." She yaws and sits up. "Morning." I hand her the coffee and she raises her eyebrow. "You look like you have had 1-hour sleep?" I laugh nervously and drink my coffee. "I think I did." She smiles softly and shrugs. "I'm sure Harrison meant well." I laugh nervously and stand up. "I'm sure he did." I wave at her and smirk. "I should get dressed." She waves and raises her eyebrow confused. "Me too."

Later that day in work I get a note from one of the other girls. "That is from the cute blonde at table 5." I look over and see JT from the bar. I smile nervously and open the note. "You never did text me? How about we go for drinks tonight." I look around and see my manager Johnathan so I walk towards him and smile. "Can I take my break?" He nods agreeing and looks around. "I don't think we are going to get any busier so why not take the rest of the evening off?" I smirk and nod agreeing. "Thank you." I wave at him as I walk towards table 5.

I sit down and laugh nervously looking at the floor. "Hi." JT grins and hands me a coffee cup. "Hey." I take a deep breath and shrug. "Sorry for not texting you." I shake my head and smile nervously. "It's been complicated." He leans back and drinks his coffee. "Doesn't have anything to do with that boy from the bar that night does it?" I nod agreeing and drink my coffee. "Yip." He stands up and holds his hand out. "Well he is a lucky guy." I roll my eyes and pull his hand down. "He WAS a lucky man you mean." He grins again and sips into his coffee. "So does this mean we can go for drinks tonight? My sister is having a party and I would love to walk in with you on my arm?" I smirk and push a strand of hair behind my ear. "I would love to but I already have plans tonight with my friend sorry." He shrugs and leans back. "Well you have my number for when you change your mind and want to do something?" I nod agreeing and smirk. "I will text you, promise." I stand up and wave. "Bye JT." He takes my hand and kisses it. "Goodbye April."

Later that night Jen comes home and smirks. "Are you ready to PARTY!" I smirk and hand her a vodka shot. "Always." She looks into the kitchen and spots the half-drunk bottle. "What is wrong with you? Did you drink this?" I laugh nervously and shrug. "Sorry." She smirks and downs the shot. "Without me!" I smirk and hug her. "Let's go make us the prettiest girls there tonight?" I nod agreeing and follow her upstairs and into her bedroom.

She sits me down and smirks. "Now what are we thinking for an outfit?" I laugh sarcastically and shrug. "The sexiest thing you can find." She smirks and winks. "Good answer." She goes into her wardrobe and nods at it. "Got the perfect dress." She closes her closet and walks towards me. "Now let's do your hair and makeup to go with it." She starts brushing my hair and looks at me through the mirror. She smiles nervously for a few seconds. "Want to talk about it?" I shrug and look at the floor. "Talk about what?" She rolls her eyes and hugs the back of me. "The reason you have only had one-hour sleep and drank a half bottle vodka alone?" I shake my head and look at her. "Can we just have fun tonight and talk about it tomorrow?" She nods agreeing and starts brushing my hair again. "Sounds good to me."

I walk into Jen's room and smile as I point towards the back of the dress. "Can you zip me up?" She looks at me and smirks. "Wow!" She walks towards me and shakes her head. "HOW does my clothes look better on you?!" I shrug and smile. "It doesn't." She zips me up and hands me a pair of heels and a bag. "I already packed the bag." I smirk and hug her. "You're the best." She picks up her dress and shrugs. "I know." I walk towards the door and wave. "I will call a taxi and pour us a drink while we wait?" She nods agreeing and starts undressing. "Sounds good." I close the door slightly behind me as I walk into the kitchen.

After I phone the taxi I look at my phone and smile at JT's number. "Fuck it." I open the text message app and smirk. "Hey you, it's April." I smirk as I send it and lay my phone on the counter as I pour 2 drinks. Jen walks downstairs and takes the drink. "Cheers." I smirk and down the vodka taxi won't be long." I walk towards the dining table chair and sit down sticking my heels on. My phone receives a text message and I look over. "Can you check that?" Jen grabs my phone and smirks. "Who is JT?" I smirk and walk towards her. "Just someone I met." She hands me my phone and smirks. "Well he is glad you finally text and hopes you have a nice night even if it isn't with him." I roll my eyes and look at my phone. "Oh look." I shrug and look towards the front door. "Taxi is here."
