My Best Friend

Chapter six: Finally (part 1)

SHAY'S POV

"SHAY! SHAY! SHAY!....." I hear my mom is calling.... but why? I mean its weekend. "SHAY! YOUR FRIENDS ARE HERE...." my friends? Why would my friends be here? They know never to come here unless there is an emergency.....I am laying here frustrated now because they know I don't like them coming here.... It is so darn early it is only 09h00 are they nuts!... But then I remembered....today is my outing with Gideon its our milkshake date with the others.... "SHAY, IF I HAVE TO CALL YOU AGAIN!'... lol let me answer before I get killed. "I am coming mom..." Where is my damn gown.... BINGO!....I put on my gown and head out my room to check who all is here.... To my surprise when I got to the living room it was only Jenna and Kelly ... I greeted my mom and waved for the girls to go to my room I don't still want to talk because if that one starts talking there is no stopping here believe me. So I got to my room and these bitches made themselves comfortable already.... " So what are you bitches doing here so early, wasn't Gideon suppose to pick me up?" I spat... " First of all good morning to you too  and secondly....do you see Gideon here? so it is kind of oviaas that we here to pick you up B'iatz.... a thank you would be nice you know?" Jenna said. Kelly and I just started laughing...  I just said thank you to let her shut up because she like blabber too just like my mom. I won't ever say my mom is a b***h , but she can be when she has time... which is all the time lol. "Can I go get ready now mommy and daddy?" I ask while pointing at Jenna and Kelly .They laughed and said in sync "JUST GO ALREADY "and laughed. Now that is the thing with my friends and I we get mean with each other and not mean it at all but others don't always see it that way especially at school. I am more of the shy one no one really catch me swearing nor being bitchy or anything I am this good girl no one knows this  side of me accept my moron friends... But let me get done my thoughts must shut down for a few minutes... normally I would take a long shower but time is not really on my side here and knowing these girls they probably already going through my cupboards and drawers like I'm going on a date or something, that is why I never invite them home because they want to turn me into one of them lol  like that is ever going to happen.

I know I said I am going to switch off my thoughts but it is a little hard when your busy body friends are in your room scratching through your stuff probably hoping to find something half decent... Well good luck to them....because I don't have anything decent that is decent enough in their eyes anyway.

I am at least out of the shower now, just a quick dry and I am done. Why is it when you just sit down for a little while and get  lost in your own thoughts, time seem to go by so quickly. I was still busy in the world of day dream than Kelly came knocking me back to the world called REALITY with a loud bang it totally knock me back hard I almost fell on the bathroom  floor lol." Yes I am coming gosh!" I said while laughing like a crazy, but mostly because I am still in a little bit of shock. "  WOMAN! do you know what time it is?" Kelly shouted. LOL than I heard my mom shout from the kitchen " is everything okay girls?" and we all said as one, "yes". " I will be right out Kelly." I reassured Kelly, "OKAY GOOD ..we have your outfit already ready for you on your bed, come we must still do your hair and make up" Kelly said all excited all I could get out was "WHAT!" but hey it was expected....they born nosey

When I got into my room true to her word there on the bed was a dress a dress I really don't know. The dress is a short summer dress ok maybe its not that short but to me it is I estimate the dress will be just above my knees and I really don't like showing skin, ok so they have this red dress, some white converse sneakers and  a long sleeve denim jacket.. for jewelry I see tear drops earrings golden ones...wait.... I don't have tear drop earrings, where did they get these things as a matter of fact I don't recall having any of these clothes, shoes nor jewelry and underwear. My mom mainly focus on my brother on that department she says I am big now I must understand. So yep I am sure these aren't any of mine. My mom would never buy me lace under wear lol that is a thong and matching red push up bra... this is seriously not my moms work. I looked at my friends who is standing there with big smiles on their faces like little p*****t boys, waiting for me to say  something... but what do I say. Jen broke the silence and asked, "AND!!!!????"..." Who's stuff is this? because they are certainly not  mine? I mean... I would know don't you guys think? lol... I mean unless I went shopping In my sleep.. that's the only place I can afford all off this. I started laughing and with that tears just followed. LOL and there I was standing crying like a baby that wants her bottle. Jenna and Kelly was also laughing when I laughed but when they saw the stream of tears show they ran and hugged me.. I was just asking in between cries...."HOW?...... ,WHEN?.....,WHO?...., WHY?...." Jenna answered " you know we loaded right and what kind of BFF'S will we be if we can't treat our girl now and again, you would have done the same for us if you were in our position. We bought all of this morning before we came over here, it is weekend shops open early.. We wanted to just buy the dress but than Kelly asked me if you have jewelry and well I don't know,   so we decided to buy an outfit from head to toe." LOL I don't know how she could say so many words while sobbing away they are seriously the best." Thank you so much you bitches hahaha....I owe you guys big time.... I love you guys so much. Do you think we should get ready now, you guys did spend a lot of money to get me looking all girly girl... so lets get finish up." I said while getting up and ready to get started on looking like one of them LOL. "Yes, come lets get ready and show off your sexy ass lol..." Kelly said.

So I got dressed and they help me put on my jewelry ... Kell than did my make up while Jen got busy with my hair...Then Kelly turned my chair to show me the results of their work....And to say I looked like a goddess would be a understatement ... who would have thought my friends can work magic with an ugly duckling as myself. I am so proud of their handy work..."OMG!!Is this really me? how did you guys pull this off.... are you sure you don't want to go study and become professional make up artist or go into the hairdresser profession? You guys are amazing." LOL I was seriously raving about their handy work like a proud mother, I mean seriously who could have imagine they were as good as this. "Well you made it super easy.. you beautiful my friend. And FYI, we can do this in our sleep. Now and days you get all kinds of tutorials about applying make up and doing hair and S#@t, on Youtube so we just practice and like everyone who is everyone says.... practice makes perfect and who persist will succeed. "Kelly said. True words those are indeed...

Well it is definitely time to go now. We actually late lol not like they care Jenna always says..."A fabulous women as me is always worth the wait and if a guy can't see your worth...then guess what...he is not for you." LOL my reply to that is "AMEN sister preach!". So we were about to make a safe exit without disturbing nor getting notice but that is when mom jumped up and shouted, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!". And being the silly weirdo's we are, what do you think we did?.... LOL we freeze and put our hands up in the  air and then slowly turned around while trying hard not to laugh. My mom gave us that WTF expression and than said, "You girls need serious help not the nice kind if I may add..". We started laughing , mom couldn't help but laugh with us. Than my mom started" Is it my baby girl looking so lovely...my word my daughter is finally becoming a woman!" "AMEN to that Mrs. Hoorn" Jenna said while clapping her hands together. I just gave her the evil eye and all she could say is" what? it is true..." and that with a smile. " Mom we late.. we should have met up with the others awhile ago...." Why did I have to go say that now, now my mom is going to give it to me....more preaching...and indeed here we go." What do I always say?.. If you know you going out you get up early... you prepare everything the evening before so yo know the next day its just was and wear.. huh? You can't sleep till who knows what time and expect to be ready on time! You know how long you take in the bathroom and you know we not talking about 20 minutes here!" ..... "hahahah it is true" Kelly spat while laughing. "Mom please we can talk about this later, I am making them late as well and what kind of parent would you be if you let other parents children be late because you want to teach your child manners?" well I had to try something to let us get going... my friends are enjoying this action way too much, and mom is not lazy on her side to take to the stage of entertainment lol.. I love my mom she is just too much some times." OKAY FINE! but I expect you home for dinner..."mom said." OKAY mom, so can we go now?" I had to ask to make sure otherwise later on I hear how I disrespected her and BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! she just never gets tired of hearing her own voice. Well I am tired! I want to get going now. " I said it's fine didn't I young lady?... So go and enjoy yourselves... Do you need money....?"mom asked if I need money like she has to give so I just said "no mom I am sorted, Thank you... I love you".., "Now now no need to be fake I said you can go already...didn't I?"...We all had a good last laugh and we left.

*********************************************************************************************

The car ride there was quite smooth.... normally we would stop somewhere because Jen knows too many people but it wasn't one of those days today I suppose, we must really be late. So Jenna is driving us, Kelly is sitting in front next to her and I'm sitting at the back chilling comfortably. Jen connected her phone via bluetooth and the first song that popped up was that song by Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa , Scared to be alone.. I totally love Dua lipa's songs... anyway that song alone got me thinking about Kyle and he is the last person I want to think about right now but either way me and the girls started singing the song and we pretty much  just sang while kinda dancing to the best of our ability in the current situation of being in a car. LOL I surprised myself .. I never do anything like this because of how shy I am, even in front of my friends I would hardly make a move but my body just kind of let loose on it's own today... Don't know what is so special about today though... Good things I hope. I am just glad I am finally enjoying myself and it feels good to come out a little because it is normally just me and Gideon. Every one in the group is a couple accept me me and Gideon, so we choose to hang out so now and again when he did something wrong so he pays off he's debt by sticking me for a milkshake and let's just say... I am a sucker for a milkshake... Gideon and I also don't have the kind of money status as our friends so we don't want to come off as stingy to give out money we don't have. Our friends understand but we still don't like the feeling of them feeling sorry for us. And I kind of like it just being him and I...I feel safe around him... He is my best of best friends. Everyone including our friends thinks we dating but my thing is everyone can see he is always with another girl like how can we be together if he is with other girls. But yes people like assuming their own things, as long as we know the truth it is fine.

**********************************************************************************************

I guess I got lost in my thoughts again because when I looked up I saw we were at the venue. I don't know why but I am suddenly feeling really - really nervous. "guys I don't think I can do this.... I think I am going to be sick guys" I seriously felt sick to my gut... Jenna tried calming me with some breathing excise " Shay it is only nerves love, just calm yourself okay... We going to have so much fun. ..." Kelly said in another attempt to calm me "Okay...." is all I could get out with this lump I feel in my throat just waiting to come up. I just don't feel like myself, it is like I am not in my own body...an showing so much flesh ... I am so scared to be judged, I know how people talking about being body shamed, I just don't want that person to be me right now. My face is starting to heat up.. I feel tears filling up my eyes slowly but surely. I can't ruin my friends handy work they worked hard to get me looking proper for today the least I can  do is to flaunt their creation.

Joey's is full as per usual... I got a few stares I don't know if it is a good or bad .... I don't normally get notice so I don't know how to react...,. my legs are feeling like jelly laugh out loud... We didn't find Gideon and them yet so we still scanning through the crowd to try and find our friends.... This will be like our first group outing if I can call it an outing. It is not like we going hiking or anything. We just hanging out like we do when we at school.... "There they are guys" Kelly shouted, laugh out loud she ran to her boyfriend Ben like she hasn't seen him for years and they were sucking on each others faces like there is no one around but them...Talk about disgusting! "PLEASE GUYS!MY POOR VIRGIN EYES." I said while laughing... my break down episode now long forgotten. " Who is the new girl ?and where is Shay? is she still coming or is she ditching us again ?" Ben asked " DITCHING US AGAIN?  it is not like you guys ask me to hang out much , do you?" I ask back "guys come on now we didn't come here to fight , we came here to have some fun. Let's not ruin this for us all because you all know ones we go at it it can last for hours and I seriously don't feel like wasting hours on something that's just going to mean nothing later on." Kelly said while looking at Ben who is still looking at me in confusion. Like he is still trying to figure out who I am, seriously I don't look that different, I am showing some cleavage and legs something I would never do and I have make up on not even to talk about the red lipstick lol all this screams Kelly or Jenna  but not Shay... Well okay I can see now how he can be a little confuse. From plain Jane to Miss Make up fabulous! Flip even my inner self is starting to sound like them. This is so freaky laugh out loud. "Did we do such a great job Kell?" lol I hear Jenna shout from next to Charl her boyfriend at Kelly that is standing opposite her, because of the noise around us we have to kind of shout at each other a little lol. " We must have if the guys can't even recognise her" Kelly said laughing and high fiving Jenna... " For f**k shakes, it is Shay you dweeps !" Jenna spat at them... " laugh out loud say what.... are you telling me this your nerd friend.... can't be... nerds are not suppose to be hot that is why they are nerds so they focus on academics not looks" I hear Sean say. "Well I guess this nerd my friend can do both." Jenna spat at him and showed him the middle finger.

REWIND QUICKLY..............

What? Sean is here I ask myself.... "WTF IS HE DOING HERE? was it not suppose to be just our friends?" I asked furiously looking at my friends, and what I see next fume me up even more... It is Gideon standing there with Keshia's around  he's waist and he's arm around her neck... like wtf am I missing here. " We should let Gideon explain, it was he's idea after all." I hear Charl say." Just to be clear Shay I didn't want  to have anything to do with this and we only found out this morning when Gideon called and ask me to pick up Sean on my way here." Charl tried to explain.  "WHIMP!" I hear one of them say but I don't know who. So I turn to Gideon and ask "AND!?"... He is looking down scratching he's head, he does that when he gets nerves or he feels like he has been put on the spot. " Uhmmm...." he started.." We just thought...." he got interrupted when Jenna cleared her throat... so he looked up and then he started over..." well I thought I am doing something good Shay by getting  you a date, I mean we all have a date for today I didn't want you to feel left out." Gideon finally said... " Okay, so let me get this straight.... you thought it would be good for me to be on a date with a men w***e like Sean..... Who calls themselves a best friend and then feeds he's best friend to the wolf?" I said while pointing at Sean." No offence Sean" "None taken babygirl..." He said and that whole baby girl sh@# just got me boiling more... I am not the cause a scene type so I think I should just go I really don't need this right now." I think I'm just going to go now, speak to you all on Monday." I said and I gave the girls some hugs and said my goodbyes. " Come I will take you home "Gideon said... I just walked pass him and said " No thanks I will find my own way home." and with that I left and I didn't even look back ones I just kept walking. I don't have any money on me so that means I will have to walk home.

KYLE'S POV

So my mom decided to pay me a little visit today. She hardly come to visit, so I wonder what she wants. "So I decided I want  to spend a little time with my son , I mean lately I have not been spending much time with my baby." she said...Say what now is the expression I had on my face at least I think that was the expression I had present on my face. "Why?"..." I have plans already mom, you can't just show up and expect me to just drop everything , plans  I have already made because you feel like now is the time to play mommy?" I hope she gets the message ... " Kyle you can still bring along which ever strays you want to tag along so go on now go get ready...." she said....Don't this women know no one tells Kyle Russian what to do... I know everyone wants a piece of me but there should be limits lol I am just kidding she is my mom but she can't just come and rule my life she is hardly ever in it.

"Mom where are we going anyway and what are we going to do there, please I hope it is not some loser place .?" I had to ask. " Stop asking  questions like some snob ... You use to love our outings. " she said while looking at me not very amused though. "Mom how old am I?" "Don't be silly, how is it possible for a grown up boy as yourself not to know how old you are? Well I knew maths wasn't one of your dominant subject but I didn't know it was that bad" all I could do was shake my head at my mother... she surely is  a piece of work. "Mom I am just going to go call Chantel quickly okay?" " Is that the stray you going to drag along" she asked. "laugh out loud, Mom my girl friend is not a stray." I said while tears came running down my face laughing at my silly mother. She is not much of a mother but when she does show up, she knows how to make an effort. I love but hate her at the same time.

I don't know how my girlfriend will react to going out with mom but I have to try I guess.. and I don't even know  where we are going. That will be the first thing  she will ask. Don't get me wrong, I am not scared of my girlfriend, it is just she's very high maintenance .... My mom is loaded but my grand parents are not, but my grand parents are present in my life and she just appears here now and again or unless I go to her to visit for a day or two. OKAY....... so here goes nothing

Her phone is ringing..... I like her caller tone ...Oh Baby Baby. I'm jamming to the beat lol I am sure feeling it. " Hello?" did she really have to shake me out of my vibe right now..." Hey babe" "Is there a reason for you calling me or something?" she asked annoyed can hear it in her voice.. "  Is that anyway to speak to your boyfriend or should I say future husband ... I wish I could kiss those soft lips now and whisper sweet nothings in your ear, you know how you get when I do that." well I have to try and soften her up a little before I come out with the question because she already sound like she want to murder someone. " laugh out loud love.. how I would enjoy that now...anyway my sister was suppose to take me to the mall yesterday for a nice dress to wear on our date today but she couldn't take me and now I don't have a anything to wear today." lOl why should women exaggerate like this... I want to laugh so badly but instead I am sitting on my bed with a big smile trying to hold back the full out laughter because I'm just going to make her furious and that is the last thing I want right now.,. " come on now baby, I know you have a cupboard full of some hot and sexy dresses, you always make heads turn even when you have mommy jeans on... I have one fine girlfriend I'm super lucky don't you think?" my girlfriend likes to be noticed by others she don't care so much if I like what I see... she want to make a statement to the world... that is the way to steal her heart always, telling her how good she looks and how she impress others with her good choice of clothing." You are lucky there is no doubt about , I make you look good no wonder the girls are falling over their feet for my boyfriend, because they want what I have. " and there she goes way off topic I need to get her to just focus otherwise it is going to take us forever to finish up here. Meaning my mom will start calling me to get ready and Chantel will start wondering what's up so okay let me get this over with, she is my girlfriend not god.... but in bed she is my god lol.. Focus now Kyle. "Babe my mom wants to take us out." Okay now that didn't come out right. "Why, we had a date today... just the two of us remember? It is suppose to be about you and me.. Where is she taking us? To some fancy place? Because if not I am not going with." " Honestly babe I really don't know I wish I had an answer for you... But go with please, maybe you and my mother can bond over a coffee or something..?" "How old do you think I am Kyle...... 50? No thanks, I think I will sit this one out..." "What if she gets me a new lady friend while I am  all alone with her babe... Please come, it won't be the same without you, and it was meant to be our date we just taking a plus one that want's to get to know the special beautiful woman in my life...."'I am flattered Kyle but I think I will sit this one out.. and I trust you will behave well, I mean who would want to loose all of this, you nothing without me remember that, so don't go entertain your mom if she wants to include another person when your G_I_R_F_R_I_E_N_D is not around." Does she know she just spelled girlfriend wrong... should I tell her laugh out loud.. Nah just drop it she already declined the invite so let me just let her be.... " Okay then babe talk again soon.." is all I said and I hanged up, In conversations with her I just wait to hear the parts I want to hear and zone out about all the other sh@t she speaks off. My girlfriend beats me in the FULL OF MYSELF category. So I get tired of her pretty quick, so in a way I am also glad she isn't going with.

"so mom the stray isn't going with anymore, are you ready to go.?" I wonder where she is..."MOM " I called out... but still no answer... where can she be... "Mom!"... "Are you ready to leave?.. come lets go." she said while pointing with her finger on her wrist watch. She is surely something else. God are you sure this women is my mother? So now we off to who knows where... she does but don't want to tell me where we going though.

"Mom where are we going?" I started whining. " just as persistent as always I see" she said, what she is meaning to say I don't know, what I do  know is that I want to know where we are going... next thing I heard her say " WE HERE"  Joey's really now mom... here of all places, what if my friends see me with my mom damn how lame does that look... and than they going to think I am cheating on Chantel with a MILF.. now that's lame. " remember how much you enjoy to come here when you were younger, than your father and I use to bring you here and your little friends.... you wanted to play on everything and poor Shay had to follow because you didn't want to do anything without her by your side." Like is this some kind of trip down memory lane or something... " Yeah, but that was when I was still small mom. It still doesn't explain what we doing here. I mean I am not small anymore and half of this stuff you are to old to do... so please come let's save ourselves the embarrassment and go home." I am trying to safe myself the embarrassment.

UNKNOWN'S POV

Oh my poor son.. I know it is embarrassing for teens now and days to be seen with anyone other than their friends or who ever they are doing who knows what with, but I want my son to be happy. I know Iam not much in he's life, but today can change everything. He should just have patients everything will soon make sense...... SOON MY BOY SOON....
