“No I took one home but just to make sure she got in alright.”
“Aw Chase always making sure everyone’s taking care of. Dude you need to get a good fuck.” Teddy says as he bums a cigarette off Mark.
“Well I did meet her roommate that she’s been trying to hook me up with, kind of. She’s fuckin’ amazing; sexy as hell and she seems like a little spitfire.”
“Whoa those are the ones you need to avoid dude. She’ll Lorena Bobbit your ass in your sleep if you screw up. Let me hook you up with one of the girls that come out to our performances. They’ll worship you with all that poetry shit you can write ‘em.” Teddy flicks his cigarette and snubs it out with the heel of his boot.
“I’m good man.” Been there, done that. Taking any kind of dating advice from Teddy would be the worst decision I’ve probably ever made in my life. Not gonna happen. And I’m pretty sure my penis will stay intact if I happen to start dating Leah. I wouldn’t do anything to screw that up. “I’ll see you guys tomorrow night.”
I head back to my jeep and hope I’ll run into Leah and maybe I’ll actually introduce myself this time.
Chapter 5
Leah
Oh what is the damn noise? I roll over and shove one of my fluffy pillows over my head but can still hear the loud shrieking. Ally comes crashing into my room and slams her hand down on the offending noise. “Really Leah? I have a wee bit of a headache, I really don't need to hear your alarm at 4:30 in the morning.” I groan and vaguely remember setting it the night before. I squint one eye at Ally and can't help but laugh at her disheveled appearance which I rarely ever witness. Ally would be the picture perfect for the all American girl with her long blonde hair, model like figure, and pretty features but she’s never fit into any kind of mold and has always been herself no matter what anyone thinks. She currently has red streaks sticking out of her messy ponytail, makeup that clearly wasn’t washed off last night smudged across her face and her hello kitty pajamas look to be thrown on backwards and inside out.
I groan and sit up while glancing at the red digital alarm clock. Shit I was going to be late if I didn't get my ass into gear. Why did I agree to morning shifts at Ginos? Oh yeah, him. I glance over at Caleb who is still passed out even with all the noise and feel a smile spread across my face. One thing we both inherited from my mom, we sleep like the freakin’ dead. Luckily, since I had to get up so early he stayed asleep and Ally had him for the morning.
I grab my red polo shirt with Ginos elegantly scrawled across the corner in black lettering along with a pair of black pants. Head to my dresser and pull out a matching set of lacey black underwear and bra, hey just cause know ones going to see them, doesn't mean I can't look good. I turn towards the bathroom that’s attached to my room ,another plus to this apartment and head in to take a speedy shower. I look back and notice Ally curled up on my bed with my purple comforter wrapped around her like a cocoon, already passed out. I muffle a laugh with my hand, well at least someone can enjoy it.
I take a hot shower hoping to wake myself up a bit and towel off quickly. Pull my dark hair into a long ponytail, apply a little makeup and I'm ready to go. Hopefully I have time to grab some coffee on my way because I will definitely need a boost of caffeine this morning. Luckily our apartment is situated in the center of everything and Ginos is only about a mile away.
My moms Honda that she had so graciously left me, was still putzing along and I was able to get from point a to point b. Although Ginos was more of a pizza joint, the owners were also smart thinkers and figured since they were in a college town, why not be open 24 hours? It seemed to get a lot of business judging by the two days that I had done of training.
