"What was I thinking? Shit, shit, shit, I wasn't thinking." Lola was giving herself a thorough curse out, still shocked by what happened between her and Gauge. "You wanted him that's what happened. Oh my GOD you fucking lost your virginity to Gauge the man whore. No, he said he wanted us to be together so not the man whore you lost your virginity to your boyfriend. Doesn't count if he asked after it was over?"
"Lola is that you?" Shakira was in half awake waiting for her to get in.
"Yeah it's me toss me a pillow and blanket," she responded trying not to wake Bianca as she clumsily undressed to put on something more comfortable.
"You good?"
"Yeah go to sleep we'll talk later." Lola folded her blanket and eased down on the floor feeling a little sore between her thighs. She was still arguing with herself trying to figure out if she regretted what happened or not until she was finally able to fall asleep.
As Gauge eased into bed he was trying to decipher his feelings for Lola. He knew he liked her but was confused because it felt like more than that. He refused to put a name to it though. He was more confused by her actions he was positive she liked him she let him take her virginity for fuck's sake but she was a little too casual about it for his comfort. Other chicks wouldn't have blown him off that's for sure. They would've jumped at the opportunity to hang out with him. Wasn't that the reason is he liked her in the first place, because she wasn't like other girls. Speaking of other girls he had to ignore another text that just came from Jennifer wondering what he was doing. "It's almost four in the morning what did she think I was doing?" He eventually nodded off but decided that if Lola wanted to talk she'd have to call him he wasn't about to chase her. He never had to do it before and he wasn't going to start now.
**************************************************
"Spill it heifer," Shakira said leaning over the edge of the bed.
"How about you brush your teeth before you breathe on people and let me wake up good before you start with your 20 questions." Lola just rolled over and pulled the blanket tighter over her head. "'What time is it?"
"It's after eleven," Bianca said getting out of the bed to go to the bathroom.
"Stop trying to change the subject what happened last with you and Gauge?" Shakira was not going to drop this not even long enough to slay the dragon in her mouth. "B the bathroom can wait."
"I knew you were going to ask but damn didn't think I'd be held at gun point. I don't really know what happened. He saved me I guess at least that's what he said when I woke up next to him mostly naked. I kinda forced him to fuck me and then he asked me to be his girlfriend." Lola said in one long breath.
"Hold on. Back up. What did he save you from and how did you force HIM?" Shakira was sitting up now and Bianca was on her way around the bed to sit next to Lola on the floor.
"Ok I woke up with him lying next to me in some bed in some room. At first I was feeling like straight shit. I was dizzy and disoriented. I didn't know what the hell happened. He told me that he found me in there with some guy." She was starting to shake a little bit at the thought of Gauge not finding her. "I don't know who the guy was but I do know that I was totally out of it. Then me and Gauge just started talking and then kissing and then other stuff." Her face was starting to turn red.
"Other stuff?" Bianca said with a smile in her voice only making Lola blush harder.
"Yes other stuff. Then we were so close and then he jumped saying shit like I deserve better blah, blah, blah. Then I kinda made him do it anyway."
Shakira was now standing, "So you had to convince HIM? Wait did you say he asked you to be his girlfriend?"
"Yeah but on the way over here the ride was a little weird I think he regrets it. He said he'd call me later so we'll see. He asked me to hang out later but I didn't really answer his question I don't want to seem clingy."
Still sitting and sort of shocked Bianca stood heading back to the bathroom. "You know Lola I've known Gauge since 3rd grade. I think you're his first girlfriend I wonder how that 'turn a hoe into a housewife' thing works when it's a dude." With that she left the room leaving Shakira and Lola alone.
"Seriously are you ok? What made you go off with some strange guy are you crazy?"
"I swear I don't remember. The last thing that's clear is the almost fight in the kitchen. I had a few beers but I don't think that was enough to get me that fucked up but I definitely was."
"Ha Gauge playing hero, never would've guessed that in a million years. As long as you're ok it's all good though. I don't want to rain on your parade or anything because I'm happy if you're happy but be on your P's and Q's with that boy."
"What did I miss?" Bianca said as she came back in the room looking freshly showered.
"Not much but I think you have some explaining of your own to do." Lola said happy to divert the attention from herself. "I saw you last night. For someone who hates parties you're mighty good at them." The girls laughed and filled each other in on what they missed from being separated at the party. Shakira was quicker on her feet and made it to the bathroom next.
"Lola sucks to be you but no more hot water you'll have to wait 'til we come back to get in. Sorry." Shakira said returning from the bathroom.
"If I can't shower now I'm not getting dressed I'm just wearing this." She had on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. "Kira lend me a sweatshirt or something." Shakira tossed her a gray hoodie the girls left the house deciding to take the ten minute walk to IHOP.
After everyone finished stuffing their face Bianca called her mom to come and pick her up. She said she had some studying she needed to get done. When asked why she couldn't just do it tomorrow she said she had plans with her parents and she wouldn't have a chance.
Kiss me, kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison
Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
"Hello," Lola loved Katy Perry but Shakira's ring tone was just damn annoying. "Hey, what's up? Um not really sitting in IHOP with Lola and Bianca but she's about to dump us. Yeah I had fun last night too. Almost shocked you called. No real plans today, just bummin' it I guess." Lola just sat there wondering who she was talking to. "Well right now we're looking a little homeless so give us a few to get dressed and then I guess we can meet. Where ever just text me and let me know. Ok, see you in little while."
"Plan on telling me who you were talking to? Get dressed and go where? How do you know I'm even in the mood to go anywhere?"
"Please shut up whining it's so unattractive. That was Hassan I told you we hung out last night. He wants to know if we want to chill later and obviously I told him yeah. So now we need to get out of this 'fat kid stupor' and make ourselves look halfway decent. Anymore questions?" Shakira said sliding out of her chair digging in her purse to pull out some tip money.
"Whatever I need to take shower. "
"That you do so you can wash Gauge off. Yuck. I still can't believe you."
"Shut it. Keep your comments to yourself."
