Why Not Me?

| CLEO |

After a long day of sketching, meetings, paperwork, and planning I just had to stop by Logan's office to tell him something then I was free. But to my all well-known surprise I had accidentally walked in on Logan and some girl. Although they were both dresses when I went in it was obvious what had happened there.

I'm not going to lie and say that didn't hurt because it did. I know Logan will never look at me in that way and every time I catch him doing the deed I just lose more hope.

Well after that little scene I packed my stuff an called it a day.

I was in my car when I decided to drop by the supermarket and get some things I needed. I parked and took off my heel slipping on my flats and grabbed my purse. Walking over I hear a whistle from some guys driving a car and I rolled my eyes. Moron.

I walk into the supermarket and make my way to the frozen food section. I grabbed myself a carton of milk, a box of yogurts and two tubs of ice cream, caramel, and vanilla, some frozen pizzas, oh even some fruits. I might as well grab some more cereal and maybe I'll make some cookies, I need more ketchup and potatoes.

I picked some cereals since Drew and Noah decided it was a good idea to devour what I had at home and went to grab a couple of other things I needed. I made my way to the checkout line only to see that they were all full so I had to wait in line.

About ten minutes have passed already and my line stilled hadn't moved. I peeked up to see what the problem was and it only to see an old lady counting change. Sigh, this is going to take forever.

••••••••••••

Finally escaping the old lady I parked my car and grabbed my bags. As soon as I heard the 'Ding' I walked in the elevator to hear the radio playing.

At least it's not classic elevator music.

'On that flight that you get on, international. Best class seat on my lap girl, riding comfortable'

It played 'Talk Dirty To Me' by Jason Derulo and as I hummed along.

''Cause I know what the girl they need, New York to Haiti, I got lipstick stains on my passport, it'll make it hard to leave.'

I sang along as the door opened up. Walking out and down the hallway to my apartment. I noticed it was quiet, too quiet. Opening my front door and I hear nothing. I'm pretty sure the girls were here with Drew and Noah.

I walk into my living room, and yup now that explains why it's so quiet. Jennifer and Drew were making out on my coach and Stephanie and Noah was nowhere to be found. I just shrugged and walked into the kitchen to place my bags down as they continued with there make out session.

I put everything away then walked back out to see them still at it.

You see when it comes to making out Drew and Jen are at the top. A hurricane can pass right through them and they would still be sucking each other's faces off.

I walked to my room and went to change into jeans and a regular shirt.

As I wrapped my hair in a bun walking out to make some food. I see Jen now straddling Drew and his hands roaming her body as small moans left her lips.

I groaned. Why do they always do this I front of me? I cleared my throat. "Alright alright break it up. Geez, guys way to welcome someone home." I said sarcastically.

They separated panting as they stared at each other then looked at me. "Hey, Cleo," Drew smirked. "Hi baby girl," Jennifer said.

I just sighed. "Where Steph and Noah?" I asked. "Please tell me they're not making out in the bathroom or something."

Jen laughed. "Uhm no they're not, well Drew and I were kind of having a moment," she said giggling as he kissed down her neck. I rolled my eyes. Yeah, keep making out because I'm so not here, "so yea you know how Steph is not wanting to see or whatever so they went out to buy something I guess." She says as Drew continues his assault.

I groan out loud. "Really guys go get a room or something geez," I said.

To that, Drew grinned. "Really? Thanks." I heard Jen squeal. I turned around as he picked her up, her legs now around his waist, as he rushes into my room and locks the door.

Really! Did he just... Uugh! Stupid best friends and their boyfriends. I shake my head as I turn on the radio, just in case you know not wanting to hear if they do anything, and make my way to the kitchen to make me some spaghetti.

••••••••••••

"Hey Cleo, how's it going?" Stephanie says as she walks in with bags in her hand. "Suff," I mumble with spaghetti in my mouth.

"Where Noah?" I ask.

"I'm right here." He says as he walks with two boxes stacked on top of each other. "Whoa," I say as he places them down on the table and plops down on the couch, "What's all that?"

"My latest short story was finally printed. My editor called earlier and because Jen and Drew were, you know, I decided to go and my Super Man Hunk Noah helped me with two boxes filled with personal copies for myself." She says leaning down giving Noah a peck. "Thanks, babe."

He just lifts his hand and lays down I couldn't help but laugh. They were so cute.

"Well, there's extra food in the kitchen if you guys want. I have to get Jen and Drew out of my room so I can go get ready." I said placing my plates in the dishwasher.

"Where are you going?" Steph asks.

"Wait," Noah said laughing, "Jen dragged Drew to your room." I roll my eyes. "No, more like Drew literally picked up Jen and locked themselves in my room," I grumbled which caused Noah to laugh even more and Steph to giggle.

"Yeah, hardy har har. Because that's so funny." I glare. "Pickle face." I murmur as I make my way to my room.

"Yo! Drew get you naughty hands off my girl and get the heck out of my room!" I said knocking on my door.

It's quiet for a couple of seconds before I here giggling. Ugh.

"Come on." I groan. I so hate them right now.

Three minutes later my door opens and Drew runs out with Jen on his back.

"You guys are not cool," I yell as I walk into my room. "And I'm changing the locks and covers on my bed! You nasties!!" I yell as I hear them laugh.

After a quick shower, I change into a simple tight dress with the top cut low and some blue pumps. I put on some lipstick and then I hear the doorbell ring.

Sigh. Well, here we go, I hope this guy isn't a weirdo.

••••••••••••

"Hahaha. Yeah so, what's the only creature that can't clap their hands when they're happy?" Johnny asks.

I mentally groan. Johnny has been bragging about his pet cat for about an hour since he's picked me up. Not to mention he took us to Wendy's...and didn't even pull my chair out or open the door for me, although it's cliché hey a girl can want.

Now he keeps telling corny stupid jokes and comments. It's getting on my nerves. I haven't left yet because I don't want to be rude but if he keeps on...

"I don't know Johnny, what creature can't clap their hands when they're happy?" I say plastering a fake smile on my face.

"Dinosaurs!" He says and knows he's dying of laughter from his own joke. So not funny.

"Haha, right..." I trail of taking a sip of my drink.

"Don't be racist!" He says abruptly making me jump slightly.

I stare at him confused. "What are you--" he cuts me off.

"Be like Mario. He's an Italian plumber, created by Japanese people, who speaks English and looks like a Mexican... Jumps like a Black man and grabs coins like a Jew."

He grins as if he won the lottery. I just stared at him blankly and stood up. I've had enough of this. "Well, Johnny I'm leaving. I would say this date was great, but it wasn't." I say walking towards the door when he yells. "Hey what's about your order, you didn't pay."

If I was a cartoon you would be able to see that big bulging vein of anger on my forehead. "How about you pay yea okay bye. Oh and don't call me." And with that, I walk two blocks to my building.

Yes, we were two blocks away. I wait for the elevator and then walk to my apartment door only to see Logan opening his door.

Oh great, I really didn't want him to see me like this.

As if on cue he sees me and the first thing he does is eye me from head to toe then my face. I saw something flash in his eyes but it was gone within seconds. I swiftly walk to my door, next door to his.

"Cleo." He nods and I look at him. "Logan," I say tired.

"Long night?" He asks. I nod my head but he doesn't say anything else. He looks like he was in deep though so I just interrupted him.

"Well, I'm tired so night Logan," I say opening my door.

"O-okay." He says as I send him a small smile and close my door.

My place was quiet and the lights were off meaning the guys left. I sighed and took off my shoes. I really hate it when Logan sees me coming back from a date.

It's not that I don't want to or want to it's just. Sigh... Will he ever know how I feel?
