It’s Saturday! Finally, I could not believe how long these last
couple of days have felt. I decided to spend some time alone and hit the gym for a
couple of hours. I made myself some banana oatmeal cookies, they are healthy
and super easy to make, all you need to do is mash a banana, add oats, bake in
the oven and tada! You have a super yummy AND healthy breakfast, I can be healthy too when I want to be, don’t let all that fast food fool you! I
was just finishing up at the gym when I got a call from Billie asking to go out
tonight. I was thinking of asking Ace out tonight but I couldn't let her down.
When I got back from the gym and after showering and changing I decided I would go out and treat myself. I decided to have my hair re-dip dyed which looked amazing, my hair is naturally a very dark brown colour and can sometimes feel boring and dull so having a change really made me feel more confident and sexy. The ends of my hair were now a caramel blonde and I couldn't wait to show Billie latter. I also decided to get a massage and facial which I rarely bothered with but working out and all the friend and work related stress made me feel like I needed some pampering' I was tempted to get my nails done too but working with animals and having long nails wasn't a good idea I told myself. After that I done a bit of clothes shopping. I grabbed myself quite a few bargains which made me feel good, I hated spending full price on things. Finally, before returning home I also done a bit of grocery shopping.
When I came through the door of my apartment I noticed James had gone out. I felt it was kinda weird that he didn't even tell me or leave a note but I shrugged it off thinking he’s probably just gone back to his place to get his stuff or something. It was almost time to meet Billie so I decided to get ready. I picked out a black and cream polka dot collared shirt and some tight fitting black jeans. I went for the highest heels I had which made me legs look crazy long. I was just transferring my purse from my everyday handbag to a different one which I used when I went out when I heard my phone buzz.
“Hey Scarlett,” Billie said.
“Hey, I’m feeling like Italian,” I grinned.
“Mmm, yes!” she smiled, obviously feeling the same.

We met at this small little Italian restaurant which we knew
did the best tiramisu. Billie looked a little run down however when she saw me
her face lit up and she smiled. “Scarlett, you look great!” she said, giving
me a huge hug.
“I treated myself,” I smiled, holding up the ends of my hair.
“Ooo,” she smiled, “I like it!” Billie had lighter brown hair which was naturally super curly and I envied her so much, she never had to worry about it looking flat or dull because she always had perfect natural curls. She also was very tanned which I also envied, but she often said she would do anything to have my paler skin, why do women always want what they don’t have?!
Billie and I sat down and ordered ourselves some red wine. Once it arrived we begun talking.
“So, is James okay?” she asked taking a huge gulp.
“Yeah, he’s fine, he’s still looking for a new place though,” I smiled. She nodded. “But its weird, he wasn't there when I came home today he’s been acting funny recently I was gonna talk to you about it,” I told her.
“What? You’re meant to be keeping an eye on him scarlet!” She suddenly exclaimed. I looked at her confused. “I thought you would look after him not let him stray again!” she sighed angrily.
“But what am I meant to do? Ban him from leaving the house? He’s a grown man Bills,” I argued.
“Yes but, he didn't leave a note, a text, nothing?” I shook my head. I could see she was about to lay into me so I was glad when the waitress came to ask us what we wanted to order. I decided to go for goat’s cheese and roasted tomato pizza while Billie ordered spaghetti Bolognese.
“So, how are things with you?” I asked quickly after the waitress left. She looked down at the table cloth.
“Well… I wanted to talk to you about something,” she said softly.
“Oh, what is it?” I asked feeling concerned.
“You remember Freddy Parker?” she asked. I nodded remembering how they had been re-united on Boxing Day after not seeing each other since high school.
“Well after Boxing day we begun texting and it was fun but then he started getting all serious so I told him I wasn't interested in him and he started texting even more, all day and night saying how sorry he is and whatever…” she then reached down into her bag and pulled out her phone. “Look,” she said passing it over to me. I looked down at the screen and she wasn't even exaggerating. There were hundreds of texts from Freddy begging and pleading her to talk to him.
“Wow, Billie, I mean, I don’t know what to say,” I replied, my mouth dry.
“Well nor do I! I thought he would get the idea and stop but well he hasn't, I didn't even lead him on or anything! He said he’s gonna show up at my apartment and wait for me to talk to him, Scarlett he said he’s in love with me…” I was listening to her while scrolling down the never ending roll of messages.
“Bills, I… I’m gonna call him, I’m gonna tell him to back off!” I suddenly said just as the waitress came over with our order. She placed our pates down and gave me a funny look before scurrying off again.
“Scarlett you don’t need to I promise, I’m really not threatened by him, he’s Freddy Parker for god sake! He just thinks he’s irresistible now he’s turned good looking but no, he’s still a weirdo and I still DON’T like him,” she said taking her phone back and putting it back into her bag. I smiled and begun to eat my food.
“Ugh I just don’t know how I get myself into this mess,” she then moaned stabbing her fork into her spaghetti with a slight smile.
“Neither do I…” I laughed, cutting into my pizza. I’m glad it didn't bother her too much but I did feel so angry, why was Freddy being like this?
“Why can’t I find myself a decent man, are there even any decent men left? Because I can’t find them,” she huffed.
“I know how you feel…” I smiled.
“But you have Ace! And he sounds really great, and now you have that Jake guy, I mean he sounds kinda desperate but at least he’s sort of normal!” I laughed. “And you know maybe it was romantic, girl he must be crazy about you right?” she laughed.
“I don’t know,” I smiled, “but we will see how it goes,” I smiled.
“You’re totally going on a date with him aren't you!” she exclaimed. I couldn't help but blush.
“Maybe, I can tell I won’t like him, he’s not my type,” I shrugged eating a mouth full of pizza.
“Well, see how it goes right? I’m still rooting for Ace though,” she grinned.
“Me too,” I smiled.
Billie
and I ended the night by sharing a huge tiramisu, I was glad I’d gone to the
gym now. After we had paid we decided to go straight home both of us too tired
to go anywhere else.“I treated myself,” I smiled, holding up the ends of my hair.
“Ooo,” she smiled, “I like it!” Billie had lighter brown hair which was naturally super curly and I envied her so much, she never had to worry about it looking flat or dull because she always had perfect natural curls.

“Bye, call me if the whole Freddy situation gets any worse okay?” I smiled getting out of the taxi. She nodded with a smile.
“And you call me if James is still not there, she replied. I waved and walked up the stairs to my apartment building. As I opened the door I could feel someone watching me.
