Prom flashback
“Thank you Phoebe,” oh only if they knew he’d be thanking her for something else really soon. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like but… He didn’t thank her for anything that ended up happening at VC’s after party, not like he needed to, why would he… MY POINT is that something very shocking happened and it started like this…
Phoebe was sort of surprised that Diego went with her idea and didn’t say no to going to VC’s party. She wouldn’t mind sitting at that playground with him for the rest of the night being a good friend to him for once but she knew he could use some other form of distraction. A smile met her lips hearing his response, immediately taking his hand to help him get up and start dragging him towards the street so she can call them an Uber.
The first thing she did once they got there - she found them something to drink. And then did it again… And again, and… You get it. Why? Why not? It was a party and as she said, he needed a distraction, something that would make him actually enjoy the party without thinking about what happened just a few hours ago and this always helped. Well, at least Phoebe felt like that. Maybe it was the drinks, maybe he was still in his head, still overthinking everything but somehow he felt different. Being with him like this felt different. Or maybe Phoebe was just trying hard, even a bit drunk, to keep his attention on her and not some people around them that would occasionally glance at them, whispering about the BR post. So she was dancing around him, kept her hands on him the entire time until… she couldn’t do it anymore. Why were they all staring? She wouldn’t mind that if things were different but at that moment she felt bad for dragging him here, maybe her idea wasn’t the best.
[color=“#d39d7a"]”Hey… What… Do you say about,”[/color] she tried to suggest something else, tried being the keyword here but it was kind of hard to think or speak when she just downed her probably 100th drink of the night. Instead she led him upstairs, found an empty room and leaned against the door as she closed it behind them. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Sorry, maybe coming he-here wasn’t the best idea. Sorry, yeah…”[/color] She chuckled to herself, taking off her heels and throwing them to the side before walking over to him. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Would yo-you believe me if I told you I hate heels, Who invented them? Yeah, they’re… No, NO… I don’t hate them, I quite like them but it gets hard walking in them, you know? Of course you don’t, how would you know that? Unless… I doubt you ever tried, but I d-do see Bella making you and your bro-”[/color] Oh, no. Let’s not mention his sister and brothers, for more than one reason, right now. Another bad idea. Shaking her head as if that could somehow clear her head and make her just tiny bit sober, Phoebe rested her hands on Diego’s chest, for a second playing with his shirt before looking up at him with a smile. [color=“#d39d7a"]”You know… You’re really cute. Really… Really cute,”[/color] with every word she tried to pull him down slightly, getting on her tippy toes so her lips were just inches away from his - No. She’d not going to do that…
Letting go of him and taking a small step back, the smile she had on faltered. That would just not be fair. What is she doing? She can’t use him like that, not now. It’s selfish and it’s not like that’s something she really wants to do, right?.. Right? She doesn’t want to kiss him. She’s just very drunk and hey, she’s alone in a room with a very attractive guy… that’s all… That’s… That’s not it. Maybe she has fun teasing him but he actually cares. When was the last time she’d seen that with other guys? When was the last time someone actually made her believe in something that wasn’t so shallow? No, she doesn’t think she deserves that but maybe… She’s wrong. Would it really be that bad to try to chase that happiness?
[color=“#d39d7a"]”I… Wai-wait, I’ve never seen this room before,”[/color] quietly while her mind was going every possible outcome of this situation, deciding what she wanted to do with it, she actually took time to look around, walking towards the bed and taking a seat, waiting for him to follow her. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Crazy… This house, isn’t it?”[/color] Looking back at him and smiling softly once she felt him next to her, for a moment she stayed quiet, her eyes lingering on him. [color=“#d39d7a"]”W-why do you like me so much- NO, don’t answer that, it’s such a stupid question… What the fck am I doing?”[/color] She laughed lightly, letting her back hit the bed as she covered her face with her hands. [color=“#d39d7a"]”This sucks, we should’ve just stayed there… And it’s… it’s so dark here, where are the stars when I look up?”[/color] Now giggling she tried to reach for his hand to pull him down next to her. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Come here.”[/color]
[color=“#d39d7a"]”Hey… I… You know that I’m not really that mean? I just… Like to have a little fun and it’s reallly fun messing with you. I hope you know I don’t mean any… harm. But you’re really nice, you don’t deserve that. You should just tell me “Phoebe stop being a btch, it’s not funny to me” and maybe I’ll listen,”[/color] turning so she could lay on her belly, she rested her head on his shoulder, quietly continuing. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Is it wrong to wish you won’t stop chasing me? I don’t want anyone to take my place… It’s kind of nice,”[/color] Lifting her head up, Phoebe let her eyes meet his for a moment before her gaze shifted down to his lips and without thinking twice about it she moved on top of him, her lips coming down to his.
If you asked Phoebe if this is how she imagined her prom would end she’d say yes. But like this? With this person? No. That’s a big no. Asking Diego to be her date was funny, sure, but she could never imagine she’d end up sleeping with him. Even if you told her she’d only kiss him she’d laugh at you. It just seemed impossible… Guess it was not. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she was fixing her dress, lost in her thoughts. What… Did she do? Fck. She shouldn’t have done this, he doesn’t deserve this… This is just wrong. [color=“#d39d7a"]”So, uhm…”[/color] Glancing back at him Phoebe tried to find some words… Just something to say. Anything, but what was she supposed to say? Did she enjoy it? Yes, she did. It was great, it was different, she felt different, normal but… She can’t have that. It’s not for her. [color=“#d39d7a"]”See you around?”[/color] Not waiting for him to reply, Phoebe got up and rushed out of the room, picking up her heels on the way out.
March 28th
It’s been a while since she’d talked to Diego, or just walked by him. It wouldn’t be wrong to say she was avoiding him as much as she could considering she actually didn’t know how to act around him now, or simply what to say. She made a mistake and she didn’t know what to do about it. Of course she was playing cool, she tried to pretend like nothing was wrong, she was still your good old Phoebe but simply more… Confused. She really should never have let that happen. One thing was messing with him but it was something completely different giving him false hope and using him like that… She was only giving him false hope, right? She wasn’t like… Starting to actually like him… Right? She can’t do that.
Do you know what she can do? She can skip school for a couple of days and spend that time at the beach. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Except this time she didn’t go to her usually spot, surrounded by people, where she’d surf with her family or tan with her friends, she went to her little secret place. Obviously it was not a secret considering someone would find her soon but she liked to believe she was completely alone. Just her, the sound of the waves and the sun. A little spot where she could just pretend she was fine and not worry about the real, big world. “Phoebe?”
She heard a voice she knew pretty well, making her stand up and cover her eyes to shield them from the sun. What… Was he doing here? What was he doing here in a mmmm sweet, what was he doing here way, you know? [color=“#d39d7a"]”I think it’s obvious that I was having a very peaceful alone time, just tanning and enjoying life,”[/color] slightly tilting her head, she gave him her sweetest smile. Ugh… We all know she’s weak for him. She thought it would pass but it seems like it never will. What does he see in Lenora? What’s up with this mess with him and her and Ricky? It’s all so ridiculous, can’t he tell that? Just let it go man. Look how cute this girl standing in front of you is. [color=“#d39d7a"]”Congratulation, you found the perfect spot where I never see anyone…Well… Except for you now, not that I’m complaining.”[/color] Putting her hands on her hips, she let her gaze travel down, not so subtly checking him out. Can you blame a girl? She’s the one who needs a distraction now and she couldn’t have asked for anything better than this. [color=“#d39d7a"]”But I could ask you the same thing? Shouldn’t you be in class or… I don’t know, making up to your girlfriend?”[/color]
