Slap In The Face, chapter 8
I loved university, I absolutely loved it, the apartment me and Sarah shared was a decent size big and bright and luckily between the two of us we could easily afford it. The classes were always interesting and the nightlife was awesome. I worked in the bar at a swish LA club a couple of nights a week and waited tables in a Café not far from the apartment and was making pretty good money.
The guys on the other hand were constantly touring, especially ever since they released Kerplunk! and were gaining a cult following but it wasn't large enough just yet to start getting them major label attention. Despite this, we did see each other regularly maybe two or 3 weekends a month. It was much less then before but we lived away from each other and both had hectic lifestyles so I thought it was a pretty good effort. Ashamedly I still ended up having wild crazy no string attached sex with Billie every time he was in LA without telling him how I really felt because I thought some BJ was better then no BJ. He was a complete commitment phobic and never had a girlfriend for longer then a week which suited me just fine, I never wanted to be the other women.
Then one night I did something horrible which would destroy what tiny piece of a romantic relationship I had with him.
Sarah was out with her boyfriend on a trip to Hawaii so the guys were going to stay at our place but they had a show at a club so we went there first. Billie was being all affectionate so I thought it was going to be a weekend for us two, no floozy's involved.
"We are going to set up ok sweet pea" said Tre as we walked into a club that was far from the dingy bar I was used to them playing at.
"Ok you guys go, I'm going to mingle" I said.
I walked around chatting with the younger fans in their mid teens, and answering their questions about the band and what not. I was getting bored so I went to go check how it was going, then I walked into there dressing room to find Billie making out with this huge chested red head. I quietly walked away feeling extremely jealous and looking for revenge.
The whole night while they played I jumped from guy to guy flirting outrageously in broad view of BJ, feeling better and better as I saw him get more and more angry.
Then I met a gorgeous model guy who was really sweet and before I knew it I was in the backseat of his car with my top off, then I realised what this sucker about when he said
"So what's your name again?"
I blushed from head to toe and scrambled to get dressed and I couldn't believe it, I almost let myself get my pants charmed off, I slapped him and stormed out of the car.
"Hey I'm sorry come back!" he yelled.
I kept walking and sat on the back step lighting up a smoke.
"So have fun tonight?" I heard Billie sneer.
"Maybe maybe not" I replied.
"Didn't look that way to me" he said angrily.
"Why the fuck do you care Billie Joe?" I replied nastily.
"I don't know, maybe because we are best friends?" he said.
"Really is that what we are?" I said sarcastically while beginning to walk off.
"Well that's what I thought we were until I realised you learnt more then a few things from your mother," he yelled out.
I saw red, turned around and punched him square in the eye, he fell to the ground and I whispered in his ear, "We're done."
Mike and Tre came outside to see BJ sitting on the ground and me walking towards my car.
"Where are you going?" they called out.
Mike turned on Billie Joe "What did you say?" he said angrily.
"What they fuck? Have you seen my eye?" yelled Billie
Tre was rolling around on the floor laughing, "Somebody's ultra violent" he joked.
"More like disturbed" grunted Billie.
Then Mike started laughing as he saw Billie Joe's eye swell "Dude you got slugged by a girl."
I felt really bad about what I had done, and after being sent a dozen blue roses by BJ. I forgave him but things were different now, after what he had said I realised that because I gave him what he wanted he didn't respect me, well not properly anyway, and vowed not to let things go far until I made him love me no matter how long it took.
