Liliana Lomelli

When I come home, my mother asks me who dropped me off. 

"I didnt hear a car." she says, cocking her head. I shrug and lie and tell her it was Faith, one of my friends. 

"Everything alright ? David called here....he sounded worried...did you two fight?" she asks. 

"I'm fine mom."I say with a smile. 

I wasn't fine, not till last night and this morning when I fucked our new neighbor. But, yeah, Can't tell my mom that. 

I walk over, kiss her cheek. "I'm going to go take a shower."I say. 

"Alright, I'm here if you need me sweetie." she says and I smile. 

"I know mom, thanks, love you" I say and kiss her cheek again and go to the bathroom, where I strip down, and shower and shave and primp myself, and relax in the bath. 

I stare at the other end of the top, the periodic drip on the water from the spot, my toe play with the lever of the tub that keeps the water from draining. I should probably be thinking about my bastard boyfriend that had no idea he was now my ex, and my bitch of a "best friend". But I wasnt thinking about them, or crying like I would be if it wasnt for Jackson Miller. I think about him picking me up, the way he dropped what he was doing to come get me. The way he pulled me tight in his arms and soothed me as I cried. I think about him feeding me, letting me stay the night, stay in his bed. I think of the things we did last night and this morning. My thighs pushing together under the water as I take a deep breath and try to ignore the ache between my legs for more sex. 

And now, I think of David. How sex with him was never that good. That i'd been clueless. That i'd spent a year and half of having sex with him, faking orgasms, and lying about them, just to please him, because I thought there was something wrong with me. Yet, Jackson made me cum multiple times, easily. Because he knew what he was doing, cared about what he was doing, and focused on me, instead of being a selfish bastard like David. I hadnt known any better, I let him make me think that our sex was off the charts. I think about Kelsie,...and him...together...and wonder if THEY have good sex together. They must because Im not stupid enough to believe last night was the first time they've hooked up. All the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place. 

I lay in the bath a bit longer and then go to my room and pick up my phone. I have fifteen missed calls, and about ten texts from David, and twenty from Kelsie. I don't bother to look at them, choosing to ignore the few words that I do see, and instead open up the text from "Neighbor Man" . I smile, not at all mad that he went into my phone and changed his contact name at some point. 

"You better not be freaking out." is all it says. I smile at my phone. 

"I'm not." I reply. 

"What ARE you doing then?" he replies.

"I just got done showering and taking a bath." I reply. 

"tease." he replies.

"You asked." I respond.

"Can I cook dinner for you tonight?" he replies. 

I bite my lip and look out my window towards his house, then back at my phone. 

"I think my mom might get suspicious if I come over for dinner." I reply. 

"She can come to. I just want to cook for you." he replies. 

"What time?" I ask. 

"Five?" he replies.

"Okay." I text back.

"See you then sweet ass." he says. 

I roll my eyes. 

"Not my name" I say. 

A second later, a screen shot of out convo is sent and I look at the top and can't help but smile. 

"close enough." he types. 

The words "Sugar Butt" with a peach emoji next to it is my contact name. 

"You're ridiculous." I reply.

"that ASS , is ridiculous" he types. 

"Okay crazy." I type. "Calm down." 

"Text me if you get bored before five." he says. "Got any plans today?" 

"Other than deciding whether or not to respond to my ex or ex best friend? No." I type. 

"Whatever you do, don't let them fucking get away with it. DOn't you fucking apologize for anything Liliana."

"i wont." I reply. 

"Good. Give them hell, sugar butt. If you need me. I'm a phone call away." 

Before I can reply. "need me yet?" 

I laugh at my phone. "I'm good for now, thank you. For everything." I reply.

"I love giving your orgasms. Anytime sugar butt. " he says and I roll my eyes. 

"Not what I meant, but yes, thank you for those too." I type. 

"Thank YOU, for being so fucking sweet to me Liliana. I meant what I said, your body is a gift and I don't take what we shared today and last night lightly. You're special, neighbor girl. " 

I bite my lip. 

"You're special too, even if you only like me for my ass." I tease. 

"Again, I will not apologize for loving that ass. You can't make me.  I refuse." 

"See you later neighbor man." I type. 

"Later gorgeous." he types. 

----------------------------

I ignore texts from Kelsie, and ignore the single phone call that David tries to make around one. 

I'm laying on my bed reading a book when my door opens. 

"hey bitch" Kelsie says, strolling right into my room. I just fucking blink and stare at her. How did she do it? How did she come into my room when just last night my boyfriends dick was inside her? How long exactly has she been screwing him? How long have BOTH of them been playing me. I felt so fucking stupid. Did they talk about me? How dumb I am for not knowing? Did they laugh at stupid niave Liliana behind her back?

"What are you doing here?" I ask and she drops her purse on the floor and then lifts her hands to her hair, pulling her hair tie out to readjust her ponytail. 

"Umm, wellllll, you werent answering my calls. And you totally just up and vanished last night from the party, what the hell was that?" she asks. "I was worried, and it was kinda a bitch move t-b-h." she says speaking in text. I scoff and then clench my jaw. 

"What? what's that?" she asks mimicing my scoff. 

"I think you should go." I say, and her eyes widen. 

"Lil, i'm joking." she says with a laugh, throwing her hair up again, and then  starts to walk over to my bed. 

"Kelsi...you need to leave." I say and she pauses.

"What? Why? Lil...what the hell , don't be a grouch" she says. 

"I was worried too you know." I say and she cocks her head slightly. God I wanted to hit her. 

"worried why?" she asks.

"At the party......after David left and didnt come back....and then you left shortly after him....I was worried. I looked everywhere for you guys. Where were you?" I ask , looking right at her , and I see the slight bit of panic before she throws up her fake mask. God, how did I not know what a fucking fake bitch she was before?

"I was hooking up with a guy." she says with a shrug. "I got distracted, I dont know where David was." she says with a hint of defensiveness. 

"No?" I ask. 

She puts her hands on her hips. "No Lil, I don't." 

"You sure? Cause I went looking for you both....I looked everywhere....and couldnt find you." I say. 

"Like i saaaaaid" she says so condescnedingly that it makes my fingers curl into fists. 

"I hooked up with a guy, and David was probably..who knows...being David, drinking his face off and asking girls to call him Daddy." she laughs. Trying to make a joke of the thing I'd told her before, about him trying to get me to call him that during sex. 

"Do YOU call him daddy?" I ask and her brows pinch. 

"What?" she asks. 

"You heard me." I reply. 

She stands there silent for a moment. 

"What are you even trying to get at Lil cause I-"

"You know..." I interrupt her, her mouth stopping. 

"I couldnt find him, or you....." 

"Lil I dont know where he was but I told you that I was hook-"

"At first....I couldnt find him or you ...at first." I say and I watch her eyes widen slightly before she tries to neutrelize her features. 

"But I did. I found you Kelsie. And I found David." I say with a slight tilt of my head. "Want to guess where I found you? Where I found him?" I ask calmly. 

She blinks once and just looks at me. 

"nah, no need to guess....cause you know where." I say and then shift on my bed, sliding off it, standing so I'm in front of her. 

"I saw you." I say through my teeth. "I saw you both."

"Lil, I-"

"don't." I say, my fingers still curled into fists. 

"Don't you say a fucking word." I warn her and she swallows. 

"Get out of my house. And don't ever come back. Don't call me, don't text me. I don't want to see you, or him, ever again. You can tell him that next time you're in his back seat. He's all yours Kelsie. now, get out." 

"Lil, I..i didnt mean to-"

"GET OUT!" I yell as my hands shake and I try not to fucking smack her. 

She cries as she turns, grabbing her purse and running out of my room and out of my house. 

A few seconds after she leaves in tears and my front door slams I hear my mother calling my name , then coming up the stairs. 

"Liliana?" she asks as she peeks her head in my door, as I stand there shaking with rage. 

"Sweetheart? What's wrong ? What just happened , why did Kelsie leave here in tears?" she asks as she comes over to me. 

I tell her why. I tell her about the party, about what I saw. I tell her how a "Friend" came to get me, and I stayed with them for the night. She holds me as I cry all over again. She apologizes to me. "Im sorry sweetie, Im so sorry, oh Liliana, Im so sorrry sweetheart" 

"I hate her. I hate him. "

"I know sweetie, I know" she hushes me and as much as I love my mother, there's only one persons arms I want to be in right now.
