She winks before continuing to exit. I stay frozen momentarily, trying to see in what way I should take what she just told me.

"Let's go." I feel Lana touch my back. I zap out of the thought I was in and turn to face her. "You okay?" she looks at me amused.

"Yeah, yeah." I shrug off.

"Alright then, let's go." she smiles, laughing lightly. I smile slightly and walk down the few cement steps that lead down to the sidewalk. She seems to be in a good mood, I don't want to ruin that by telling her about Michelle's comment that I probably took the wrong way.

On the short ride to the cinema, we try to decide what movie to watch and finally come to a decision upon arrival. The vote wasn't unanimous, but those who didn't fully agree didn't really care what movie we were going to watch to begin with, so there was no problem.

"Why don't you guys go buy the snacks while we buy the tickets." Chuck suggests as we reach the ticket line.

"Okay." I agree. "Anything specific you want?"

"Lizzy knows." she says. I turn to Michelle, trying to ignore the slight nerves I feel when looking at her.

"Mila knows." she tells me. Well, I guess I am the only one without a sibling present. Lizzy, Mila and I get out of the ticket line and walk over to where the snacks are bought, making line where there is currently only one person ordering.

My eyes browse the menu on the wall behind the counter when I feel a sudden itch on my neck. In an effort to make it go away, I begin scratching while still trying to decide if I should get popcorn or nachos. Both? Maybe a hot dog as well?

"What's that?" I hear Mila ask suddenly. I turn to her, confused by her question.

"What's what?" I ask.

"That." she points to my neck. "It looks like it hurts. Look, there's another one, and another one." she touches my neck this time.

"Does that hurt?" she asks, continuing to touch the different spots, but I don't feel a pain. That's odd.

"No." I smile, confused. "Let me see."

I pull out my phone and go to my camera, switching it to the front camera so I can see my neck. When I see what she is referring to, I feel my face heat up with embarrassment.

"Oh." I start. "Um.." I try to think up what to say, but come up short. How do I tell her what hickey's are without having to explain the way you get them?

"Mila you're next." Lizzy interrupts. We turn to look in front of us and see that it is now one of our turns to order.

"Oh." she says and moves to order. I turn to Lizzy and smack her arm lightly. She laughs.

"Hickey's? What are you? In middle school?" I playfully scold her in a hush tone. She continues to giggle.

"I've left you them before." she reminds me, and she has. I can't deny it. But before, they were mostly left on my breasts and stomach area, hardly any on my neck. I look down then and lift up my shirt, and as I suspected, numerous hickeys trail down from where my brassiere ends to where my jeans begin.

"I didn't realize I sucked hard enough to leave hickeys." she laughs. "And that Mila didn't know what they were actually, that's weird. Oh, we're next."

I see Mila scurry along, popcorn, drinks and candy in hands. I almost ask her if she needs help but she seems to be able to manage. Lana orders what her and Chuck usually get and turns to ask me what I want afterward. The cashier seems a bit surprised by me wanting nachos along with a hot hot dog, but Lizzy only casually turns away.

After we get the snacks we make our way to where you show your tickets before entering and see Chuck is already there waiting for us, snacks in her hands.

"Mila and Michelle went to the restroom, they said to just go. They'll be there in a few."

"Okay." we show our tickets to the kind lady and make our way towards the room where the movie will be screened.

It isn't as full as I thought it would be, no more than 30 people including ourselves filling the seats. Chuck spots some seats in the right middle side and make our way there. We start to sit just as the lights begin to dim and the projector begins to show a trailer warning. Just in time.

"Here babe." Lana says in a whisper. I turn and see her take out a ziplock bag. When I realize what the bag contains, I take in a breath of air.

She see's my expression and smiles, answering my silent question. "I got it from the kitchen before we left. Oh-- here." she reaches back into her purse and takes out yet another ziplock, but this time instead of it being filled with bacon, it is Nutella. I look up at her in awe.

"Have I ever told you how much I appreciate you?" I tell her. She shrugs, smiling.

"Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you." I praise, giving her a kiss on the cheek. I open the zip locks and take out a piece of bacon, dipping it into the ziplock full of Nutella and bringing it to my mouth, moaning once the food hits my tastebuds. God I almost forgot how good her bacon is.

"That looks gross." Chuck comments. I only turn to her and put another Nutella dipped bacon piece in my mouth. She cringes and I turn away.

"Here Chuck." I turn and see Lizzy take out two zip locks, realizing each contains two different vegan snacks that Chuck has let me try before.

"Thanks Liz." Chucks says.

I spot Mila and Michelle at the bottom and give them a wave to let them know where we are. They spot us and make their way up. Michelle takes a seat next to me and Mila takes one on the other side next to Chuck. I remember then Michelle's comment from earlier and begin to grow warm.

"Is that bacon and Nutella?" she asks, laughing lightly.

"Mhm." It takes me a few seconds to swallow the food in my mouth so I can respond. "Want some?" I offer her.

"Sure." she takes a small piece of bacon. "Do I just dip it in the Nutella?"

"Yeah. It's brilliant trust me." she hesitates slightly while dipping the bacon in the chocolatey deliciousness, but makes a look of surprise once she brings it to her mouth.

"That's good." she smiles.

"Told you." she settles in her seat more and we watch the rest of the trailer while occasionally eating the wonderful snacks Lizzy provided. I finish both bags before we are even 10 minutes into the movie and slightly start to regret eating them during the trailers.

The movie is good enough, funny. It manages to entertain all of us from the beginning to the end and I find myself thinking how I am happy I decided to come and watch it. Throughout the movie I would occasionally rest my head on Lana's shoulder and the only thing Michelle would tell me during the movie was if I could pass her some popcorn and I had begun to realize how ridiculous it was for me to think she might have meant what she said earlier in the way I thought. I knew I was just taking it the wrong way.

When the movie does finish, we wait until almost everyone else who was watching the movie exits the room before exiting ourselves and making our way to the loo. Lana hands me her purse to hold before walking the rest of the way to the loo with Chuck and Mila. I take a seat on the small bench a couple feet from the loo door and offer a small smile to Michelle when she takes a seat next to me.

"The movie was good right?" I ask casually.

"Yeah, it was." she smiles. I return one and look away momentarily.

"Hey Cara." she says after a short silence. I turn to her.

"Yeah?"

"There's this party later on at a friend of mine's. John. You should come." I take in her offer for a while.

"I don't know." I say finally. "I'll tell Lizzy, see if she's up for it."

"Lizzy's going." she says amused, like it is the most obvious thing. What?

"She is?" I ask her.

"Well, yeah. John's a friend of hers too." Lizzy is going to a party later on? She never mentioned one. Not that I can recall. Surely I would remember. Maybe she just hasn't told me yet?

"Oh." I say. "Well at what time does it begin?"

"Around 9." she tells me. "It should be fun. I'd love it if you'd come." she goes on. I look over her shoulder and notice the girls approaching us.

"Alright, i'll tell Lizzy." she gives me a confused look. I stand up from the bench then and hand Lizzy her purse as she reaches us.

"Let's go." Chuck says openly. "I need fresh air."

"I can't wait to get into bed." Lizzy tells me as we begin to walk out of the cinema.

"Really?" I ask, thinking about what Michelle said about her attending the party.

"Don't tell me you aren't." she says.

"I didn't say I wasn't." I continue.

"Good." she leans in closer. "We can finish what was interrupted earlier." she whispers. I begin to grow warm. Maybe she isn't planning on going to that party like Michelle said she was.

***

After dropping Mila and Michelle off at Michelles flat, Chuck drops Lana and I off at the flat before leaving to go somewhere with Keegan. She offers once again for us to join her but we say no, being too lazy to want to be out anymore.

We enter the apartment and I kick off my sneakers, leaving them by the front door.

"Living room or your room?" I ask Lizzy.

"Mine. I need to be in a bed." she comes close to me and plants a lingering kiss on my lips. "I'll be there in a few, I'm just going to get a water bottle."

"Okay." I plant another kiss on her lips and smile as I pull away. I walk over to her bedroom and remove my shorts, placing them on a drawer afterward. I walk over to the bed and am just about to get on it when an idea pops into my head. Do I have time? She was only going to get a water bottle. Oh what the hell. I quickly remove my shirt and brassiere, my panties following right afterward. I jump onto the bed and grab one of Lizzys small pillows, covering my center as I sit, bending my legs in and supporting my weight with my hand. I hear her footsteps getting closer and make the best laughable seductive face I can.

"Cara I--" she starts when she enters the room, but her sentence is cut short when she catches sight of me. She bursts into laughter and I finally let the laughter I have been holding in escape.

"Oh my god." she says in between laughter. I finally get out of the pose and onto my knees, crawling over to the foot of the bed.

"Did I look sexy?" I ask. Her laughter begins to tone down and she walks over to where I am.

"Very." she smiles. Another laugh escapes from her and I bring my hands around her neck, my fingers interlocking behind it.

"That's what I was going for." I joke.

"Well you got it." she smiles. I bring my lips to hers and move my body closer to hers. Licking her bottom lip, I bring my hands to the hem of her shirt and begin to lift it up.

"Cara wait-" she pushes me off lighty. I open my eyes and look at her in confusion.

"What's wrong?" I ask her, feeling slightly hurt.

"Nothing, nothing." she assures me. "It's just, Ben called me. I need to go take care of some stuff."

"Oh?" I ask. "Well does it have to be right now?"

"Yeah, it does."

"Oh." I say. "Okay then." I let go of her shirt and move to get off of the bed.

"Babe don't be upset." she tells me. I pick my shirt up off the floor and pull it over my head.

"I'm not." I lie. It's not her fault her manager just called her to take care of somethings, but it still hurt having her push me off of her.

"Cara--"

"Banana it's fine." I assure her. "What do you have to take care of?" I ask. I slip my panties back on and wait for her answer.

"Just some things with the Ride video. Nothing too big."

"Oh." I say. "Okay then."

I spot my t-shirt on the floor and pick it up before slipping it back on over my head. I look over to Lana when my shirt is in place and smile at her when I see she is looking at me.

"Well c'mon, I'll walk you to the door." she smiles faintly.

"I'm sorry baby." she tells me. We begin walking towards the front door together and I tangle my right arm with her left, pulling her closer to me and planting a kiss on her cheek.

"It's fine babe, not your fault you got called in last minute."

Sure I'm disappointed she has to leave, sad. I like spending as much with her as I can, more now so that I'm going to be leaving for fashion week and might not be seeing her for a longer period of time if she cannot make it to see me walk the catwalk. But I understand her work is a priority.

We reach the front door and I turn to face her.

"I expect you to finish what you started." she laughs.

"I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise." I pull her in for a kiss. She kisses me back, dragging it on longer than I expected her to.

"I'll be back in a while." she tells me when she pulls away.

"Bye banana." I tell her. She smirks and grabs her keys and small purse from the table beside the door.

"Bye."

"Leave already!" I tease. She laughs.

"Fuck you." she leans in for another kiss. "Okay, bye."

I smile. "Bye."

She opens the door and I smack her bum just before she exists the door . She yelps and I smile to myself, the door shutting right after. I turn on my heel and look around the empty flat.

What to do.
