Blonde mess
By Riya Sarkar
CHAPTER-1
RING-RING! RING-RING!
The typical ringing of the phone irritates my ears from my deep slumber. "What the hell is wrong with the phone."
RING-RING!
"Argh!" I turn to the side lamp table to pick my phone up. "MOLLYISWEARIWILLKILLYOUIFYOUDONTLETMESLEEP"
"Can you repeat what you just said?" An unexpected voice speaks up instead of the one I was expecting would disturb me at this time of the day. That's not Molly, that's, ugh! "Jas?" I ask groggily.
"Emma, honey wake up baby, look who's out your door." Jas, says with her honey dripping voice as a lullaby, sang for kids to sleep. “Emma?”
.
“Emma?”
.
“Emma!”
A loud scream in my ear made my eyes shoot open as realization hits me. "Fuck! I am sorry. I didn't realize I slept again, okay, what were you saying?"
"Fuck you Emma, I swear I will kiss you hard if you delay any further to open the door." Jas, spats the words with utter disgrace but it didn't get to my utterly sleepy head.
"When did you became bisexual?" I asked as confusion was the most important question my utterly sleepy head could ask at this point.
"Now, at this moment! Open the damn door!" Jas, says losing her patience.
I fell from the bed by listening her angry voice.
Ouch!
I hastily went to the door to let her in. "Woah! You both?" I am surprised to see both of my friends Jas and Liz, on a bright sunny day with an ugly scowl on their faces. Both fuming with anger, standing right at my front porch ready to eat me up. "Good Morning, blondies?" Trying to catch my yawn in my mouth but it still left from my traitor mouth.
Traitor!
"Screw it, Emma." Jas curses.
"Yeah, fuck it!" Liz tags along her.
I raise my eyebrows at her, she has always been the one in our group tagging along with the curses. She never does it first, just to make things more intense she will always tag along.
"What? Why you guys are so early?" I tried to be reasonable in this situation.
Tried!
Literally tried.
"It’s fucking twelve noon and it’s not early." Jas shouted.
Damn my neighbors going to be so irritated by them...
"Look, just get in and we can talk about this inside okay?" I tried to convince. Again 'Tried.'
"You, don't need to get formal with us, we were going to enter anyway by pushing you away." Liz says pushing me inside too.
Yeah, my friends are pretty much aggressive
"Whatever." I roll my eyes.
They get inside and I went straight into the kitchen to prepare something to eat after closing the door behind.
My all-time partner, cereals.
"Again, cereals?" Liz, objects while sliding the stool to sit, propping her hands on the kitchen island.
"Well yeah, it's healthy you know." I replied with a smug smile.
"Jas, I'm so worried for this chick." She said furrowing her eyes looking at me as if I’m an alien.
It's nothing new to be obvious, they have always wanted me to quit depending on my cereals and Can foods and to start cooking actual food like normal people. Well, I do eat normal food but I'm too busy to cook.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Liz snaps at me dragging another chair for herself to sit beside Jas.
"Nothing is wrong with me." I retort back, don't want to stand back and just listen to them. To be honest I’m tired of their bickering about my living.
"Everything is wrong with you!" Liz fires back. “You eat junks twenty four seven.” She states throwing her hands in the air.
"Not to forget ten different flavors of cereals and meals of can food!" Jas exclaims by rolling her eyes.
"Umm so?" I asked while chomping on my food. Need a little more milk.
They look at each other and shared a nod and faced me back.
"It's time, Emma." Jas sighs standing up from her seat leaning down towards me.
"Oh, its time!" Liz tags along. Again!
"Time for what? And can you keep your voice low Liz, or else my neighbors are going to eat me up."
"No baby, the only one who's going to eat you up is…" Jas smiles mischievously.
"Is?" I raise my eyebrows, thinking of all the weird possibilities they could be thinking.
"One night stand!" Both of them tunes up together.
I choke up on my food. "What!"
"It's on." Liz, pipes in breath while Jas, had a hard gaze on me.
"You heard it quite well."
"But why?" Already tired as they again shared a fuming look with each other.
"You do realize that our hair colors are same right?" Jas is bringing up the old topic again and I sigh.
"Oh no... not again!"
"That bet I lost because of your stubbornness.” Jas whines loudly.
"Yeah, I get it, it's fine we don't look old. " I tried to cheer up.
"Rather we look Vintage." She argues.
"No, we look awesome." I still brought the brighter side.
"Only you look awesome in this and we look old granny." Jas whines again.
"Well..."I tried to come up with something so they won't dwell on it.
"Fuck she agreed it." Liz points out.
"No, I didn't agree." I tried to be reasonable.
"You just said ‘well’ and that means you considered it." Liz never lets it go.
"Okay fine!" Giving up seems much better in this situation.
"Tell me if you want to change the hair color? I will pay the spa charges, happy?"
"No!" Both of them slam their hands on the kitchen island top giving death glares at me.
"Then?" I gulp at their aggressive behavior or maybe the food I was chewing.
"Revenge!" Jas says with a deadpan look.
"Molly, won the bet where you couldn't get laid last week and we literally thought we could win because you were so tipsy and ready to BANG! Then I don't know what happened and unfortunately you didn't bang." Liz, face palms in disappointment.
"And because we lost the Bet she made us color our hair blonde. Only because of you, remember?" Jas, spats.
"So what?" I couldn't care less about it.
"So, it's revenge time." Jas says.
"I am confused, does it have to be with one night stand?" I ask whatever the hell they are thinking.
"Baby, you have to give your virginity someday, you know right? " Liz, tries to reason with me. "You are twenty years old virgin, also writer of god knows how intense erotic books. Be the lead woman like your stories."
"Bad-Ass?" I'm done talking in riddles with them. "Hooking up with someone will prove I'm Bad-Ass?"
"Well…" Both look at each other giving me a blank look.
"See you guys are confused too, you guys are just doing this to make Molly, down. I know
you guys are just using me for the revenge." I lose my temper at them.
"Well, if you can't be a woman enough, then we are leaving." Jas says with anger as she strides in the living room to take her clutch.
"We are leaving?" Liz asks her as to why would she leave all of a sudden.
"Yes! We are leaving." Jas raises her voice at her. They both shared a look with each other and nod again, "We are leaving only to come back again."
"Why are you coming back again?" I roll my eyes.
"To pick you up, from your dumpster." Liz pipes in.
"This is my lavishing home and you live in a dumpster not me." She can be so ungrateful sometimes.
Ugh!
"Whatever! Now don't start writing and start shaving." Jas speaks before going out.
"Fuck you!" I curse them.
"Don't worry we know we will get fucked up tonight. Oh! Invite Molly, too your fucking editor.”
Saying that they left and suddenly I feel like I'm in a peaceful paradise.
Damn those girls are so loud, I guess now I really need to call Molly.
I scrolled down for her number and called only to hear her raspy voice. “Hello?”
“Molly just try to save my number from next time.” I sigh for the countless times throughout the day.
“Mm mm…. ah!” Instead of her reply I get to hear her hard breathing.
Wait that’s, that's moaning. “Shit Molly, it's freaking afternoon and you are fucking?”
“Ahh... Stop it Jason, Emma is getting jealous of us now!”
Jason? Damn that Editor!
“Molly, you fucking shit, I’m not jealous of anything you have.”
“Damn girl say fast but just to let you know, you ruined my mood. Jason honey just chill the fuck out and wait for me, will you?” After shuffling around she comes back on the phone with her regular tone, “Now say fast.”
Without beating around the bushes I came to the point where I know very well her interest will attract, “We're going to club tonight!”
“Listening?”
That tone just changed in a snap into mischievous tone, I’m sure she is grinning hard. “There's nothing more just come.”
“No, I can sense something more, spill it Lady.”
Damn her senses, “Is it that obvious?”
“Honey it’s your friends whom I have known from their guts now, last time they were too confident; look what it got to them. You are never going to get laid not when you act so mushy.”
“You are insulting me.” I point it out to her even though I know she will brush it off.
“Am I? I didn't realize that.” Probably rolling her eyes at the other end of the call.
“Okay enough!”
She chuckles vigorously before saying, “Again your enough shit look Emma am not agreeing with your friends okay, I want you to be ready for real. I know you will get the person, whom you will just want to ravish; seeing that person, your heart will skip a beat.”
“Molly.” I sigh interrupting her motivational bickering, “Those are the exact words my villain character used to seduce my main character.”
“Shit you caught me, but still it's true right?”
“Yeah you are a Bitch and I believe it's true.”
I cut the phone and flop down on my sofa, “I think I should get a fucking Vibrator and Dildo to fuck myself and take my own virginity.”
Then I realized why not let loose for once; it's so easy to write in my stories...
That Boldness...
That Smart Talks....
That Seductive Tone....
The Perfect Man....
All those are possible in stories and not in reality; it's not that I never tried to have sex, I approached a lot of men.
Men Approached me.
I talked to them, they talked back.
But every time I felt something was missing.
Every Single time I had to face the uneasy feeling whenever I kissed them.
Something was missing...
THE SPARK…
THE INTENSITY…
THE FIRE…
THE HEARTBEATS…
If I am going to lose it, I will make sure I lose it to the right person. I shaved my legs and every possible part which are meant to be kissing or licking. I feel like a teenager excited for prom night. Shaking my head and chuckling to myself I went to my closet and checked for the perfect outfit.
This has to do, I feel confident; hopefully I can make my friends understand. It's my life and my decision. The car honking must be from the cab they hailed, without making them wait anymore I yell my arrival, "Coming!"
.
"Damn this is lit!" Liz, yells in my ear that made me chuckle. I shake my head at her silliness.
"I know, get the drinks." I asked her.
I'm searching place for us to sit down when suddenly I saw... There stood the silhouette, attracting me towards him, wearing black leather jacket.
