3The Day after the Rave
It was one o'clock the next day before a big noise outside the front door woke me up. I carefully sat up, gently moving Luke's arm off my waist. I slowly got out of bed trying not to wake him up. I slipped on my robe and tiptoed to the front door. I opened it a notch.
" Hey!"
It was Sahara. She was still in her dress. It looked completely ruffled and had fold lines all over.
" Hey! Stop talking so loud, Luke's still sleepi-"
" AHA!" Sahara whispered loudly, pointing at me with a wavering finger.
"Nothing happened!" I whispered back, rolling my eyes " what about you? Where the hell have you been?"
" I… I was at Mikos's suite…"
I took that Mikos was that hot tanned boy she was snogging with at the party.
I put my hand to my mouth faking shock.
" Nothing happened either!"
" Alright, I guess I have to boot Luke out now… he won't be pleased! Ha!" I open the door all the way and step aside to let her in.
" Yes well he only has to walk a few steps and he'll be at his own bed next door"
" Why didn't you stay at Mikos's?" I prodded.
" He had to leave. He has a flight at seven. I went to see him off and came up here. By the way, do you know where Micheal is? I knocked next door but no one answered and I couldn't hear anyone"
I gave her an "idiot!" look.
" He's probably at one of his groupies' suites"
I go into the bedroom and I poke Luke.
" Whaa? Let me sleep!" He grabbed his pillow and put it over his head.
Sahara grabbed the pillow and began whacking it on his head.
" Hey! HEY! STOP! I'm up! I'm up!"
Luke looked seriously pissed off. Both Sahara and me half-carried him to the front door. Sahara went and grabbed his clothes.
" What's your probleeeem?" Luke whined sleepily at me.
" You know I love you" I smiled and pinched his cheek. I gave him his clothes and closed the door on him.
I went back to the bedroom and got into bed. Sahara came back from the washroom all freshened up and changed into her nightie.
" Sorry I crashed down her party-" She said, getting in beside me.
" NOTHING HAPPENED!" I shouted at her.
"-Should be ashamed having premarital sex-"
" For the last bloody time! We didn't have sex!" I howled.
" Alrighty then"
I sighed.
Time to interrogate her!
" So am I really sure that you didn't have sex with that Mikos dude?"
Sahara blushed.
" I did not!"
" I'm ashamed at you! Having premarital sex with a man you just met-"
" I DIDN'T!" she yelled at me.
Feel the wrath of Celeste! She's out to get revenge! Muahahaha!
" Alrighty then" I mimicked her " Did you at least get his number?"
" Yeah I did! Were meeting up next Sunday!"
" Is he going to Paris too?!" I say surprised.
" Yup! We're gonna meet up at his house" Sahara looked ecstatic.
I look at her suspiciously.
" How old is he?"
Sahara smiled nervously.
" Twenty"
And I thought he was around seventeen!
" Damn! He looks young for his age!" I exclaim.
" I know!"
And with that she takes off in la-la land. I close the lamp and say goodnight.
By the time we woke up it was almost two in the afternoon. We took turns showering and seeing Van Helsing on Movie Central in the "living room" as Sahara called it.
We both had a moment where we yelled at Hugh Jackman to take off his shirt.
Mmmm! Hugh Jackman is fiiiine!
We both then decided to go out to the pool and have a swim and tan.
It was a perfect day outside, and it seemed that they weren't the only one's that had stayed until then from last night. About half the people who were at the party were tanning, swimming or playing beach volleyball.
They had transformed the dance floor into a volleyball court.
" Heeey! Cool it! I'll get there in time… Fuck my luggage! I'll get new clothes in New York!"
Sahara turns around to face her brother who was shouting into his cellphone like a maniac. The many girls that were surrounding him looked scandalized.
" What's he talking about?" I ask her.
" He's supposed to be at the airport for his flight to New York," She says dully. She shakes her head in disgust.
" I'm gonna go get us some tanning chairs by the pool"
I was about to follow her when I spot Luke soaking up in the sun in a hammock.
He was surrounded by girls.
He looks around and spots me. He smiles his foxy smile. He gets off the hammock and heads for me. The girls who had been flirting with him looked at me mutinously. I wave and smile at them, which makes them even more pissed off.
" So…" I begin " having fun with the ladies?"
Luke snorts. I point at the girls behind him and he looks. They all wave and swish back their hair in perfect co-ordination.
I wiggle my eyebrows to him signalling that he was getting popular.
Luke suddenly grabs my waist, bends me down to his left and kisses me in plain view for the girl's too see. He pulls me up and I look at him breathlessly.
" That took me by surprise I didn't have any air to breathe!" I gasp.
Luke laughs.
The girls look like they want to murder me on the spot.
I take Luke by the hand and pull him toward Sahara who had gotten us chairs.
" Do you ladies want anything from the bar?" Luke asks Sahara and me.
" Lemonade" Sahara says.
" Iced tea" I say.
" No martini's?" Luke jokes.
" I forgot to bring my fake ID with me" Sahara jokes back.
Not seconds after Luke has left, a girl that I saw in Luke's flirty group came and shadowed over me.
" What makes you think you can have him just like that? I saw him first!"
Boy does she have nerve!
" Do you even know his name?" I ask, challenging her.
The girl waves back her hair angrily.
" Even if I don't know his name doesn't mean I can't steal him away from you"
Steal? This was getting vicious!
" Steal him away from me?" I ask her amusingly. I looked over to Sahara who was trying hard not to laugh.
" Oh yes I will! I had him around my pinky finger last night!"
I snort.
" You did?!" I say faking shock.
She looks at me imperiously. I try to fake fear.
" Yes I did, so you stay away from him!"
I see Luke heading back with the drinks.
" Here you are ladies!" He says. He suddenly spots the wormy lying bitch hovering beside me.
" Hello, have I seen you before?"
Sahara couldn't take it anymore. She burst out laughing.
I maintained a straight face.
" So you don't know her then?" I ask Luke.
He shakes his head.
I turn to Miss Wormy.
" Of course he remembers me! We spent the whole night yesterday dancing!"
The girl snaps back at me.
Luke catches on.
" Celeste darling, you can't be so possibly mean to let her lie to you all this time can you?" He laughs at me.
I pout.
" But I wanted a bit of fun!" I whine.
The girl by now has no clue to what we were talking about. She stood her ground.
" For god's sake Celeste show her the goddamn ring!"
I raise my hand, which I had been hiding all along under the chair. The girl gasps and turns bright red.
" Luke here, now you know his name" I add " is my fiancé"
The girl I can see is practically having a breakdown. She turns around and runs away to her group of friends.
Sahara could not stop laughing.
Everyone needs a good laugh here and there sometimes right? But if I had the chance to do what Celeste did, I would sooo do it! (Of course, she's based on half of my personality now isn't she?)
Anyways, Luke leaves the next day and I wonder if Celeste will stay at boring old Canada, or venture out to New York City?
We shall see…
Please don't think of me being a total snob! I have the other non-snobby, kind part of her!
Review kindly!
