Chapter 3

After three hours of watching Supernatural I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!" I shouted. Ben walked in.

"Hey Alex."

"How was she out of ten."

"Solid three, too much moaning, not enough action."

"Dude, too much information."

"You asked." He smiled and plopped into the beanbag chair next to mine. "So... where were you last night?"

"You won't believe it. I find a nine!"

"Out of ten?"

"Yeah. We fucked last night and this morning. I'm seeing him again tonight."

"What would you rate me?" Ben asks.

"Two if I'm feeling generous."

"Want to get lunch?" He asked, ignoring my answer.

"Sure, I have a question before we go though."

"Shoot."

"Do you have any birth control pills?

"Nope, you're going to have to settle through the hardships of motherhood by yourself."

"Fuck you, let's go eat."

I sipped the last bit of my milkshake out of the plastic cup.

"Can we go now?" Ben asked impatiently.

"Sure." We stood up and walked out of the McDonalds.

"When you said 'get lunch' I thought you were taking me to get actual food."

"McDonalds is as close as you're going to get with me."

"Kian's taking me to Randy's."

"No way! What the fuck does that guy do?"

"He's an entertainer." I bragged.

"He's a pornstar?"

"No, what the fuck!? He's a YouTuber."

"People get paid for that?"

"Yeah, weird right?"

"Kind of."

I climbed into the passenger seat of Bens car.

"Can we please go get those pills?"

"Seriously? I have to be there when you buy those?"

"What? Do you find it disgusting?"

"Yeah, it's like having a tiny abortion in your stomach."

"It's nothing like that!"

And so we argued for another thirty minutes until he stopped in front of the drug store.

"I'll be out in a second."

§

When I get back into the car, Ben was on his phone.

"What are you looking at?"

"Researching YouTubers. What's your fuck buddy's name?

"Kian Lawley." Ben typed the name into his phone and whistled.

"What?"

"He's got a fucking fan page."

"No way, let me see that." I grabbed Ben's phone and scrolled through the fan page. There were articles on Kian, such as his love life, his best friends, and the drama he's facing. I kept looking through the feed until I found something that caught my eye.

#kiandrea forever xxx

I pulled out my phone and texted Kian.

What's Kiandrea?

"He's got a girlfriend." Ben says.

"What?"

"Andrea... Aka Gettoxfabxforever."

"They must have broken up."

"Probably." My phone buzzed.

It's a ship name for my ex girlfriend, Andrea, and I

Ex?

We broke up a month ago...

Oh, I'm so sorry

You don't have to be sorry

Ben started driving. I looked up.

"Hey, want to go buy a dress with me, for tonight."

"I hate it when you drag me along on shopping sprees."

"You love it, now take me to H&M."

§

Two possible choices hung in front of me.

A short red dress with a thin black belt. The dress runs to just above the knees. It's a nice texture, and very plain.

The other dress is a longer black dress that hangs just below the knees. It has a small slit at the side. The top is strapless and slightly ruffled. My whole back is exposed when I wear it.

I've shown both dresses to Ben. His response was:

"Whichever one you care less about, because you know Kian will end up ripping it off."

I chose the black dress, I wanted to be sexy tonight, not cute. I wanted Kian to see me and imagine me moaning in his ear... Plus my boobs looked fantastic in that dress.

"We have a wee-ner." I say, emphasizing the word winner for it to sound like wiener.

"Finally, my nose can't stand this place much longer."

"Too much perfume?"

"An overdosage of perfume."
