Jayla was at home, alone as usual. She was getting used to the fact that Manda was never coming back. Ever since she told Manda that she wasn't completely gay, things hadn't been the same. And then one day she left without so much as a note. Jayla felt betrayed. Even with her fiery red hair, bright blue eyes, and luscious ass, she felt like the ugliest person in the world. She was so hurt that she locked herself up in her room for days, not even trying to let the world in. Two weeks after Manda left, Jayla got a phone call from her friend Arlo. Jayla and Arlo had known each other since they were kids, and he was the only one she ever told everything. Even though he had moved out of the country 3 years ago, they were still best friends. Even his voice was enough to put her more at ease.
"Jayla? Is that you? You sound horrible, honey! What's wrong?"
"Manda left. Two weeks ago. I haven't been out or stopped crying since."
"Oh sweetheart, what happened? I thought you two were inseparable."
"I told her I wasn't a lesbian."
"What? Since when? You haven't looked at a guy in ten years!"
"I know, but I just knew it all along, and she couldn't except that. You know what an ΓΌberdyke she is. She'll dress like a guy, act like a guy, and can't see why I might like men still?"
"I know Jayla, all men are pigs. Even the fake ones. Is there anything I can do?"
"Only if you were here, but you're not. You're in London still. But thanks for the thought."
"Give me 24 hours. I'll think of something."
He hung up the phone, leaving Jayla to wonder what sort of thing he could possibly do to cheer her up. ************ The next day, she woke up, feeling groggy and sad (the way she had been feeling for weeks), when she heard a knock at the door. She cursed under her breath, put on some sweats without bothering to put on underwear, and went to answer the door. A handsome blond haired, blue eyed man stood in her doorway with a bouquet of blue forget-me-nots.
"Hey you."
"Oh my God, Arlo! What the fuck are you doing here?"
"I told you I'd do something."
