CHAPTER 14:

~~Date Time~~

INTRO:

"What happened to your wardrobe?"

"The baby project happened," I say,

I watch him pick up a shirt from the floor,

sniffing it

he gags chucking it back on the floor

"Thats rank," he says

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE MOMENT I ENTER MY ROOM, I am shoved into a chair, where Billie starts tugging at my hair, whilst Jake heads to my side of the closet, to pick out an outfit for me

"What happened to your wardrobe?" he says shaking his head

"The baby project happened," I say, as I watch him pick up a shirt from the floor, sniffing it, before gagging chucking it back on the floor

"Thats rank," he says

"Yeah well I am- ouch Billie," I say turning to Bille when she pulls hard on my hair

"Not my fault your hair is a knotty as shit"

"A baby does that too you," I say and she smiles before resuming pulling at my extremely knotty hair

"Avery is any of the clothes in here clean" Jake calls out and I roll my eyes

"Of course" I reply

"Are you sure, they all either have a funny musk or are stained" he calls out

"I wear whatever smells clean" I reply and Billie begins to fake gag, and I fake glare at her, looking at Jake when he pops his head out, raising his eyebrow

"What!?" I say

"You're a freak" he replies

"I know I am," I say back and he pokes his tongue out before heading back into the very messy closet, seconds later, barrels of clothes are chucked out onto the bed.

"Jake!" I exclaim

"Just eliminating the shitty smells, the red stains, and the yuck ones," he says and I hear Billie snort before she plugs in the hair iron

"Curly or straight?" she asks me

"Wavy" I reply and I chuckle

"Baby Aves can never decide"

"No, I can not," I say back

"When was the last time you waxed your pits and legs" Jake yells out before jumping on the bed beside me, landing upright leaning on his elbow.

Both Billie and I turn to glare at him, yes we are best friends but there are some things that you don't share with a guy.

"What?" he says

"Thats none of your business," I say to him

"Why would you want to know that perv" Billie jokes, and he puts his hands up surrendering

"Mr. Alex isn't going to want to be taking out a gorilla," Jake says

"True that" Billie replies smirking dodging my swinging arm

"Stuff you" I reply "Get back to the closest" I then say and Billie resumes doing her magic

"Aves why is your closet consisting of only white shirts and boyfriend jeans?" Jake then calls out, before emerging the closet holding over 25 pairs of jeans and 20 white t-shirts, I shake my head starting to laugh

"It's the easiest thing I can wear, and I can tell whether it's dirty or not, from the look, I don't have to smell the pile on the floor," I say and he then shakes his head

"Yep, I know I'm a grot," I say

"The dirtiest," Billie says before she stops curling my hair, grabbing the hairspray, spraying my hair, even though we know it will fall out and end up a tumbled heap.

"Done," she says and spins me around to mirror and I squeal hugging her

"Bils you are freaking amazing," I say and she laughs

"Thanks, but no time, sit down, makeup is awaiting us," she says and I groan.

"Chop, chop," she says and I smirk sitting down

"What?" she says suspiciously

"Nothing" I reply and Jake burst out of the closet with an outfit in his hands

"I've found it" he says and shows us, it's a pair of black jeans- probably the only pair that I own, a clean white shirt with the brand label on the front pocket paired a navy blue jean jacket, and a pair of converse, with a small purse hanging off his shoulder

"Thats looks really good Jake," Billie says her eyes leaving my face

"You're so good at styling" I comment when I get a good look

"I know I am," he says "I am also a great best friend, I smelt at least 5 shirts to find this one, thats fucking disgusting," he says and for some reason, we all burst out laughing, we have to hold our stomachs, it is so funny.

"Thanks, Jake," I say and he jumps on our bed

"I just pick what I would want a lady to be wearing," he says wagging his eyebrows

...

"You look so good Aves," Billie says putting the last touch on my makeup whilst Jake stands up behind me helping put the jean jacket on

"Thanks, guys," I say before they stand back so I can take a look in the mirror, and I'm speechless, I haven't looked this good, since before this whole project started.

"Wow" I breathe spin around grabbing my two best friends into the biggest hugs

"I look so good" I squeal ad we all laugh

20 minutes later and they are waving me down the driveway and off to the awaiting car.

Alex pops out of the car, and runs around to the passenger side opening the door for me, I giggle nervously, and mutter thanks and slide into the car.

The first few moments are very awkward and we are sitting in silence before he breaks it.

"So I was thinking that we could have some dinner and then watch a movie," he says and I look at him

"Yeah, sure," I say and lean back in the seat

"Just a question" he starts

"Yeah?" I reply

"Why did you want me to wait outside the house and not come and get you," he says and I don't really know how to respond, I have an aggressive, jealous baby daddy?

"Oh uh, it's a bit of a long story," I say and he looks shocked and I don't know why

"No, it's fine, I can tell you," I say and he nods

"Alright, hit me then," he says

"Well I'm having some issues with my partner, and he is being an asshole, so it's better we don't have to see him," I say

"Partner" he chokes, and my face goes red

"No, no, not that type of partner," I say "we're doing the baby project in school" I ad and he sighs

"Oh, good, I don't want to be someone another person," he says making quotation marks and I laugh

"That would also explain the kids," he says

"Yeah, there are 3 of them" I reply

"Wow thats a lot," he says

"I know sometimes, think I'm going to die, but if I want to pass this next year and go to college" he nods

"Well my dad wants to my work for his company in finance, but I'm more passionate about science, I want to be a brain surgeon," he says

"Wow," I say and he laughs

"I know that's a bit headstrong," he says

"Definitely not, I haven't really thought about what I want to do, but I put my name down for health and I am taking a few child care classes, which is probably what I am going to do," I say "If I actually can get through my work" I add

"You're a procrastinator too," he says

"Yep, so bad" I reply

Alex drops me off at 10, promising to take me out again, and I smile and nod getting out of the car.
The date was nice and all, but I don't know how much I want to go out again. He's a great guy but I don't know, all of this Grayson stuff is playing on my mind.
