Chapter Six- That Was an Overshare
"What hotel are you staying at?" Matt asked out of curiosity.
"Matt?" she asked.
"Yeah?" he asked looking at her.
"You're still holding my hand." she told him.
"I don't have cooties. I promise." He said trying to make her laugh.
"I know you don't. I'm just.." her voice trailed off.
"Surprised that I'm still holding your hand?" he asked.
"Well, honestly, yeah." she said shyly.
"Why?" Matt asked eyeing her.
"'Cuz....I dunno." she shrugged. She paused for a couple minutes then she said, "I wonder if they have any posters of Justin."
"Justin who?" Matt inquired.
"Timberlake. He's so hot." Lori smiled.
"We can go look at the posters. I'll try to find one of Shakira." he joked.
"Shakira's a ho." Lori said before she walked off and went over to the posters.
"Nah. She's not a ho. She's just hot." Matt thought out loud to himself as he watched Lori walk off. "But then again.....you're pretty hot too....and I know I'll never date Shakira. She's too old for me." he laughed when he realized that he was talking to an empty space.
"So, do they have any posters of Shakira?" he asked her a couple seconds later.
"No. Sorry Matt." Lori rolled her eyes. "There's a poster of Dream though and we all know how you think Melissa is hot." She rolled her eyes again. "Bunch of sluts if you ask me."
When Matt heard what she said he said, "You're a sweet one."
"I just don't understand why guys go for the bimbos. The guys I seem to care about only care about looks." she said simply. "And then when the bimbo cheats on one of them he whines and complains. I don't understand it."
"What's the point in going through all that shit?" she asked out loud to herself. She shook her head.
"Guys go for bimbos 'cuz they only want one thing." Matt told her. "But when it comes to an actual relationship....it's a whole different story."
"But either way you guys go for the stupid bitchy sluts." she decided.
"A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do."
"And most guys are blind. Some guys can't see a good thing when it's right in front of their face." she went on.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I dunno. Just ignore me. I forgot to take midol." she said before she walked off. She rolled her eyes and said, "I really hate being a girl sometimes."
"Lorr. Wait up."
"OK. I'll wait up." She laughed. She stopped walking and turned around to find Matt walking towards her.
"Are you sick?" he asked her.
"No. I just.." she stopped knowing that he probably didn't want to hear what was really going on with her, especially seeing how he didn't know her.
"Do you have your...?"
"Yeah. I do."
"That sucks."
"Tell me about it."
"Come on." he said taking her hand.
"Where are we going?"
"Just come on."
As she watched him practically drag her out of FYE, she wondered where he was taking her. She figured he was taking her back to the hotel but was surprised when he brought her into a 7- eleven.
"Why are we in a 7-eleven?" she asked eyeing him.
"I need to buy reeses pieces." he laughed.
"Oooh. I love reeses pieces." she giggled.
"Haha. Really?"
Lori smiled and said, "Yeah." Then she said, "I'll be right back."
"Don't ditch me."
"I just...have to go get something real quick."
"Too shy to tell me that you're going to buy midol, huh?" He gave her the once-over and looked her up and down, checking her out.
"I didn't say that."
"Lorr, I am shocked." He said slyly.
"And I'm definitely NOT buying condoms." she said looking at him.
"Would you tell me if you were?"
"I doubt it."
"How come?"
"Because I'm not going to buy condoms EVER."
"Why? Would you tell me if you were?" she asked him.
"It all depends."
"On what?"
"If you're my girlfriend."
"Oh. OK." she rolled her eyes and said, "And we all know that's not going to happen anytime soon."
