Only you

Chapter 4

I wake up late the next morning with my head pounding. As my eyes cracked open, and the sunlight stabbed me in the eye, I rolled over and jerked my bed comforter over my head. I hear loud footsteps coming towards my room. I don't lift my head because I already know who it is.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" Madi says in a sing-song voice. "Come on.... you need to spill some tea and I need all the dirty details, plus I brought you Starbucks!" That's a good enough incentive, I flip my comforter and see her big smile. "Alright, tell me everything! start from the beginning, how did Kevin ended up bringing you home?" She stares and waits for me to begin spilling all the juicy details.

I tell her the whole story and kind of confessed to her my fillings for the two brothers. I sit up yawning and listen to her.

"Wow, Riley. I can only imagine. Actually..." Her eyes went wide. "I don't even want to imagine," Her eyes meeting mine. "Kyle is so frigging perfect. Gorgeous, considerate, sweet, faithful," She continued. "But no...oh no. Kevin is an idiot, a loud-mouthed, jerk, a manwhore who will shove his penis into any girl." She said the last words with a disgusted expression on her face.

Except me. He regrets even a simple kiss between us.

"Whoa!" I sat up straighter. "What the hell? Madi I thought you liked Dilllon but now it sounds like you actually like Kyle?" I finally ask her.

"What? No. And yes, I like Dillon. But he's just so..." making a face she adds. "So..."

"Nice?" I take a guess and raise an eyebrow waiting for her to finish.

"Serious!" Madi burst out as if that's something horrid. "Can we not talk about this?" She says.

Taking a deep breath in and out, I nod and smile at her. "You know what? You're absolutely right."

"I know." She smiles back. "I just need to find myself a hot guy. Not to be mean but I do like Dillon, just not as a boyfriend."

"No." I shake my head. "Not about that. You were right about him being too serious and he needs a good girlfriend and the girls I hang with are losers so...your loss bitch!"

Madi's mouth fell open. "What? I was just being honest."

"Ha!" I snort out a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Madi asks.

"I was just kidding with your dumb ass," I shake my head, disgusted. "I should've been honest to Dillon since the beginning of our relationship but I didn't," Lowering my voice I continue. "I'm a bad person, Madi."

"No, you're not. You just gave it a try and it didn't workout." She says while glancing at me, her gaze full of sympathy.

Madi stands and starts going through my closet."What are you doing?" I ask.

"I have to go to work so I'm borrowing an outfit." She says turning her attention back to me. "Do you have any plans for the day?"

"Sleep, eat, and repeat." I groan.

"Wow. Awesome! Well, I gotta go later bitch!" She says and she slams my room door.

Around the afternoon, I roll out of bed and walk to the bathroom for a quick shower. As I stand under the steaming water, I replay last night in my mind for the hundredth time. I thought it was ridiculous, how he pulled me out of the party. Could he be jealous?

After my shower, I feel pretty damn good. I decide to take a fast tour to the nearest market and grab a couple of snacks.

As I'm pushing my buggie through the aisles, I start filling it up with junk food.
