Uncontrollable Tempration

“No! Don’t do that!”

“Sophia! It’s the only way to find out if he’s really avoiding you or not!”

“Okay! Okay! I’ll call him.”

I picked up my phone and dialed his number, my heart was racing. Part of me didn’t want him to pick up because I didn’t know what to say to him if he answered. Another part of me wanted to hear his voice.

Fortunately and unfortunately for me, the call went to voicemail.

“His phone is probably switched off or something.”

“Give me his number, let me call him.”

“No Lily, that’s just weird.” I complained. “Mr Wilson doesn’t want to be disturbed right now.”

“Okay. I won’t call him. But can I just have his number at least?”

I looked at her skeptically. What does she want to do with his number?

“Trust me, I won’t call him without telling you about it.” She assured me.

I gave her my phone and she took the number but she dialed him immediately after.

“Lily! You promised you wouldn’t call him!”

“No I didn’t. I just said you should trust me.” She grinned.

It was pointless anyway because it also went to voicemail on her phone.

“Damn. He really is busy.”

“I told you.”

“What if he doesn’t come tomorrow? What will you do?”

“I’m sure he will but if he doesn’t, I’ll just keep on watching movies.” I said like it was no big deal.

But it was. If he didn’t come I would feel really bad, no doubt. It would mean that he was really avoiding me.

“Whatever. Your birthday is coming up. What are we doing?”

“Uhhh… I don’t know yet.”

“What do you mean you don’t know?” Lily screamed.

“Because it’s not a big deal Lily, it’s just 23.” Lily is a huge fan of birthdays, I am not.

“We could go to Vegas for the weekend. Your birthday is on a Sunday, I checked.”

“I’m not going to Vegas. I’ll find something to do here in New York.” I said.

“You’re no fun.” She frowned at me.

-The next day-

He didn’t show up. Again. That bastard didn’t show up. I felt bad for calling him a bastard but that’s what he really is.

I spent the whole day doing nothing just like yesterday and to say I was bored was an understatement. At a point I went over to see Phoebe but she wasn’t around. Apparently she had gone out for marketing.

I went home so angry at myself for wasting my day, more importantly I was angry at him for not coming! I slammed my door so hard I thought it broke. I had been holding back tears all the way since I left the office but when I got home, I couldn’t hold it anymore. I fell to the floor and cried.

All I really want is just to see him. Our last encounter was horrendous and I really really really needed to iron things out with him. But how could I do that if he doesn’t even want to see me?! And anytime I tried calling him, his stupid phone kept going to voicemail!

At this point I don’t even want to think about him anymore! I stood up and wiped my tears. I needed a distraction so I had a shower and called the girls in for a sleepover. I didn’t want to be alone because I was afraid of what I would do in my anger. I needed my friends around me to stop me if I tried something insane.

Lily came through almost immediately and about 30 minutes later there was a knock on the door.

“Woohoo! Slumber party! I love it when we have these!” Phoebe yelled the moment I opened the door.

“Keep your voice down Phoebe.” I laughed. She was always so excited when I held these things.

“Oh hey Phoebe, long time. Did you really come with an overnight bag this time?” Lily said.

“Nice to see you again Lily and yes, I did. Because I don’t live right upstairs!”

“Okay girls!” I intervened. We were all sitting on my couch now. “I didn’t really plan this so I have no idea what we’re going to do today.”

“Why don’t we watch a movie?” Phoebe suggested.

Lily and I both snorted at her idea. The past few days, we’ve both watched more than 10 movies together and we were so tired of that.

“Ok. Since you guys don’t want to watch a movie how about we play ‘Marry kiss kill’?”

“Yes! I love that game.” Lily said.

“What’s ‘Marry kiss kill’?” I asked. I had never heard of that game before.

“Basically, you get to chose out of three people, who you’ll marry, kiss, or kill. Simple.” Lily explained.

“Wow.”

“Ok, let’s start with you Lily, so we can show Sophia how the game is played. I’m going to have to use a generator for this because I don’t really know about the guys you’ve been involved with.” Phoebe said.

“That’s true. Lily never tells us anything relating to guys.” I laughed.

“Okay!” Phoebe exclaimed after typing furiously on her phone.”Lily! Marry, Kiss, Kill. Andrew Garfield, Logan Lerman or Ansel Elgort?”

“Do you have to say it so dramatically?” I laughed.

“Don’t mind Phoebe, she’s insane. I’ll feel bad for doing so but I’ll kill Ansel Elgort, then I’ll marry Logan Lerman because he looks like a sweetheart and I’ll kiss Andrew Garfield. He’s hot.”

“This game sounds interesting, can I go next?” I said.

“Okay Sophia, you’re up! Marry, kiss, kill. Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes or Harry Styles?”

“I can’t answer that. I’m way older than all of them!”

“It doesn’t matter Sophia, it’s not real anyway.” Phoebe rolled her eyes.

“No, give me another one. This one is weird.”

“Okay. This one is called the Chris-es. Marry, kiss, kill. Chris Evans, Chris Pratt or Chris Hemsworth?”

“Hmmm… I’ld kill Chris Pratt because I don’t know who that is. I don’t know who I’ll marry between Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth… I’m confused.”

“Just choose anyone Sophia.” Lily said.

“Ok, I’ll marry Chris Hemsworth.”

“Then you’ll kiss Evans?”

“Yes.”

“Great. It’s Phoebe’s turn now.” Lily took the phone from her. “Marry, kiss, kill. Alex Pettyfer, Robbie Amell or Ashton Kutcher?”

“I’m sorry to say this but Ashton Kutcher can suck it!” She said and we all laughed. “I’m kissing Robbie cus he’s very sexy, I’ve seen him in a lot of movies looking really good. And then I’ll marry Alex.”

“This game is terrible. It’s like we’re judging these guys!” I said.

“I know! And that’s what makes it fun!” Phoebe grinned.

We played loads and loads of rounds until we all got tired and fell asleep.
