Arielle Lavaste

"I just need you to be in the city for a couple days,three at most!"
I said in a shrill voice.

I've been arguing with what was supposed to be a sis of mine,where I had asked her nicely to just stay for a couple days,until she could get my books signed,the author of them only being in town for three days.
Unfortunately I would already be, gone at the time and it had me resorting to one of my last options.
Asking Amori to get my book signed.
But apparently,it appeared the bitch would not.

“I've been in Paris for more than a week,and I need to be in Russia in a little less than two days.
I have a Job Elle,I can't just leave my shit and hurry to you! Especially not when it wasn't planned before.”
I heard through the laptop's speaker, pulling some more jogging shorts out of my closet to pack away into another suitcase.

"I realize that,but I'm begging,look I'll even get on my knees-" At that I actually settled my knees on the bed,holding my hands in a praying position,trying to manipulate Amori into pitying me.
"Please,this is a once in a lifetime chance Amori,please just this once?

“Look,I'm sorry baby. But even if you don't think so,blogging is a full time job. The people paying me will expect me to gush in a little less than two days at my first day spent in Russia's capital city.There's just no way I'm going to be able to.”

"Fine,but...
Don't you have anyone else in mind? I don't know, someone you'd trust to let them get you're books signed without damaging anything?"
I sighed as an last attempt,now leaning directly into the camera,my wet curls dripping little droplets on the keyboard before I moved back. Not quite wanting to replace it again.

“Wait,what about Seokie?
You know... your co-worker?"

"Yeah,what about him? He's been the epitome of nosy since he heard I'm leaving with Jungkook for Singapore.
But yeah,back to the point."

“Why not ask him then? Since he'll be in the town you live in and,knows about you're current situation of leaving in two days?”
The idea that she proposes is actually brilliant,and I'm asking myself just why the fuck I couldn't figure out something as simple like that.

"Wait,that's a pretty good idea…
Why didn't I think of that?"
I said, actually a little giddy because finally I actually found someone that might be able to get my books signed.

"Probably because your the most dense person I know."

"Shush I'm calling Seokie."

“why in the hell are you using that name when-”

"Shush,just shut it for a moment!"

I say holding up my finger,while listening to his phone ringing.

“hello?”

"Hey,this is Seokie right?"
I ask in a mocking tone, glancing at Amori to see her face burrowed in her hands.

“Wait,why the hell are you calling me tha-”

"Could you come over,say in an hour?"

“Yeah uh sure,but why are you calling me th-”

He doesn't finish his sentence due to me shutting the phone in his ear.

“Can I speak up now?”
Amori says,shaking with laughter.

"Why are you laughing?"

When there's a knock on my apartment door,it's irksomely just as I sat down on my sofa after an hour of arranging and rearranging my traveling bags.
When I open it to the protagonist who made it their mission to do disturb and irritate me,I'm even more annoyed to see Seokjin stand there,looking a bit bewildered with his hair standing askew in different directions and the buttons of his shirt done improper.

"What happened to you?"
I ask, suspicion probably etched onto my fave as I eye his features contracting to something equivalent to pained when I utter my question.

"I...
Had an appointment before you called me,had to make it quick."
He stuttered out,and when I latched on to what he was insinuating,I groaned as I immediately moved away from him.

"Jesus Seokjin,I hope you're clean before you lower the soles of your shoes in my apartment."

"Oh cmon,stop pretending as if you don't accustom yourself to quickies as well."
He said as I heard him trail behind me, shutting my apartment door with a soft click as he shrugged off his shoes,the thumping of his shocked feet soft as it  followed me into my lounging space.

"In the confines of a hotel room,and not in a car which was what you probably did."
I shudder,slumping on my sofa, settling down before the episode of October tenth currently playing,the steaming cup of hot chocolate still as hot as I left it.

When I bring it to my nose to sniff at the sweetened steam rising up,I spot Seokjin's pout directed at me.

"You really aren't accustomed to showcasing any hospitality,are you?"
He sighs, puffy cheeks deflating as he settles deeper into the bean bag,arms flinged across his forehead.

It's only once I made him his own drink,which existed of exactly of what mine held and he was picking at the marshmallows floating at the top.

"I forgot to ask,what in the fucking hell made you call me seokie?I think you nearly gave me a heatstroke there and then."
He rasped suddenly and I jumped at the intrusion on peacefully slurping at my hot chocolate while watching the possessed scene playing on my television

"Why would it be a problem though,seokie?"
I decided to tease,just to watch him abruptly choke on the contents in his mouth,cheeks turning a bright red at the mentioned nick name.

"No, there is not.
It just makes me uncomfortable,rather."
His voice is taut,which made it sound formal and the abrupt giggle that slips out of my mouth has him frowning in my direction.

"You know,I actually never thought you and Amori to end up having sex but ahh,what the hell. Anything is possible they always say."
I sniffed as I stretched my arms atop my head, unconscious of how my oversized sweater moved up to expose my underwear.

"Jesus Ari,stop with the unreasonable teasing!"
He moans as he sinks deeper into the bean bag,yellow socks poking up over my table.

"What?"
I'm confused,but then I glance down to spot the boxer briefs pulled taut over my hips,and I chuckle while pulling my shirt back over the expanse of my upper thighs, rolling my eyes at Seokjin's dramatic antics.

"You really are a mixture of dense and oblivious."

"Anyway,so about why you're here."

"I'm assuming it's not for a fuck, unfortunately."

"No,what the hell.
You indisputably just came from car sex,why is you're libido still up and running?"

"Forget it.
Let's forgo the idea that yes,Seokjin actually has a dick that's still young despite his age."
He said,watching me with a narrowed gaze.

"If we could leave your old age complaints for later.
So,you're off work this weekend,yes?"

"I don't like where this is going."

"And since you typically just fuck when your not buried into optious amounts of work,I need you to run an errand for me."

"Which entails what exactly?"

"A book signing?"

"Ari, not this again!"
He said as he banged his head on the table, leaving me with a soft frown at his mannerisms.

"Oh cmon,the author is actually hot this time,it won't be as boring as I promise."

"You're payments are piling up, I swear to God woman."

I chuckled at that,because I guess it has been piling up,given that my favours asked of him has been much as of late.
Oh well,debt could always be payed.
