Take A Breath, Don't it Sound So Easy
[1] Go back to Your Perverted dreams
The sun cracked through the pulled curtains and straight onto my face, waking me slightly. I moaned to myself and I pulled the cover up around me, I was beginning to drift back to sleep until my alarm from my iphone started to stir on the nightstand beside my bed.
I dragged my arm over and angrily tapped the snooze button and rolled back into my sleeping position until my eyes darted open. I heard someone else breathing in the bed beside me.
Blurred memories from the night before began to fill my head, as I poked the lump of covers beside me. I prayed that it wasn’t what I was thinking.
A calming feeling came over me as the cover moved to reveal, a female figure. It could only be one person, my best friend basically the sister I never had.
“Lissa, are you dead or alive under there?” my voice cracked, sounding more like a whisper than anything
She just groaned and threw a pillow over her head; I took that as a sign of life. I groggily sat up in the bed and yawned loudly just as my alarm went off again, this time I turned it off.
My feet kissed the ground as I slowly rose out of the bed and tried to navigate my way through the piles of blazers, jeans and florescent heel that lay on the floor. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror, immediately regretting it.
“God, I look a complete mess,” I cursed as I hunting for something to clear the smeared make-up from my skin.
“You always look a mess deary” Melissa chuckled from under the pillow
“Go back to your perverted dreams Lissa,” I giggled as I grabbed her phone from the table and hurled it at her
“Oh you wish you had as perverted dreams as me,” she laughed
I chuckled to myself as I glanced around my mirror and dressing table. There were only two things I was dream about in a perverted way, one would be Ryan Renolds and the other is Alex Gaskarth and it wasn’t hard not too. I had snippets of him tacked to my mirror, which matched the décor of my room, the other wall containing posters of All Time Low. But one was special; Melissa had made me one for my 21st birthday, which was clearly and simply “GemGem Loves Alex Gaskarth” which I proudly hung above the mirror.
“GemGem what time is it?” Melissa yawned as she sat up in the bed
“Just after 2” I said as I glanced at my phone
“Do we have anything majority important to do today?” she asked
“Well we were supposed to start re-packing for college today or shopping?” I laughed
“Shopping it is” she grinned
“Give me 45 minutes tops, it take that long for me to look damn good” she added as she threw the covers off her
This is typical Melissa. As I said before she was the sister I never had, I’ve know her ever since I was 16 when I moved from Donegal to Dublin, we become friends instantly and that was 7 years ago. I don’t know what I’d do without her and it seemed like fate when we were both excepted into the same college
I loved the idea of college life but college itself bored me. I only went to keep my mother happy, but a plus it brought me back to my home county, Donegal.
“GemGem, do you remember anything from last night?” Melissa called from the bathroom
“Amm, define remember?” I nervously laughed
She popped her head around the corner and grinned to herself.
“What are you smiling about?” I glared at her
“Check your left arm” she called out
I lightly examined my arm and noticed a crudely written number on it, those blurred suddenly came clear. Last night for one last night out in Dublin before the college season started again we decided to head out to Lockdown in the city, and in a typical fashion I ended up getting the shift of a random guy in the club but he must have given me his number.
“Gem! I’m raiding your wardrobe” Melissa shouted before she waltzed into my room
***
We bounced down the stairs; I walked into the living room to check if my mother was around while Melissa headed straight into the kitchen.
“Mom?” I called out but I got no reply so I guessed she must have been out for the afternoon
I made my way into the kitchen to re-join Melissa, who was standing infront of the open fridge her eyes darting frantically around it.
“You okay Lissa?” I asked as walked up beside her
“Oh orange juice” she sang as she grabbed the carton, turned to the island and began to gulp it down.
I giggled to myself as her facial expression changed as the carton began to empty.
“You’ll eat me out of house and home” I laughed
She sighed happily as she threw the carton into the bin.
“That kills the bad taste” a look of content on her face
I forcefully opened the press and my eyes scanned to see any presence of food.
“Okay, breakfast options. Toast or cereal?”
“I’m pretty sure, I spied some bacon in the fridge. And you know as well as me what’s the best hangover curse” she grinned to herself
“A pint?” I playful asked
“Haha, real funny. Bacon sandwich?” she said as she gave me her infamous puppy eyes
“You’ve gotta be awkward don’t you. But you’ll I love you” I grinned as flicked on the switch for the hob.
After being forced to make a bacon sandwich for Melissa and myself, I located my purse and my handbag and we made our way out to my car.
“Lissa, can you please inform me of what I was up to last night. All I remember is the name Scott”
“My memory is as bad as yours Gem. But I remember you two looked pretty cosy. I’m in same boat, all I remember is Daniel” she sighed as she closed the passenger of my car
Just I started the engine the when Stella started the blast from Melissa’s handbag. She quickly rummaged through it and she seemed confused when she glanced at the screen.
“Blocked Number” she said, lightly biting her lip
“Answer it anyway” I encouraged her
“Hello” she timidly spoke
I couldn’t hear much of who was on the other end, so I listened intently.
“Oh hey Daniel, yeah I’m fine. No, no not too much of a bad hangover. Yourself” she lightly blushed
I guessed it was Daniel from last night, unless she knew someone else named Daniel.
“Oh how you know my friend Gemma?” she asked as she looked at me
She continued with the conversation, while was racking my head on how my name came into conversation but soon my questions were answer.
“Yeah that would be nice, I’ll text you my address”
Simple goodbyes were exchanged and then she placed the phone back in her bag.
“Gem, we’re going to the cinema tonight” she began
“Are we now? And with whom?” I sarcastically asked
“With Daniel and his friend” she nervously laughed while biting her lip
“Great another blind date” I heavily sighed
“No, no you know the guy”
“How?”
“Daniel and Scott are best mates” she smiled
“But Lissa, we barely know them. They could be rapist or something,” I pleaded as I pulled up the red traffic light
“Gem, please just give it a chance, they could turn out to be nice guys”
I slightly turned my head to her and caught her throwing me the puppy dog eyes once again.
“Fine, just for you” I sighed
“Yay, thanks GemGem” she giggled as she leaned over and wrapped her arms around me tight
I knew in the pit of my stomach something wasn’t right with this, but I couldn’t let Melissa go out with this guy by herself. Sister’s stick together.
