Red Lips, Finger Tips.

It was about 3.30am we were all pretty wasted by then, me from alcohol them off God knows
what. I had planned to go to a motel that night so I could have a decent wash and sleep however,
I couldn't because the boys kept on delaying me.
"C'mon guys! I need my beauty sleep and shit can you go already" I moaned.
"No, not without you" Max slurred, he was to drunk to stand let alone anything else.
"Exactly what he said. You should come stay at ours we need a woman at our place. Plus it must
be lonley living with your self" Ronnie added.
"Well it is.. but you won't even remember saying this tomorrow then you'll be stuck with me.
FOREVER!" I giggled.
"Forever never lasts" Max said meaninfully. "C'mon, you now you want too" he winked.
"I hardly know either of you, I'm not that easy"
"We're only trying to be nice, if you don't want to fine we won't help" Ronnie said added.
"Well I have been sleeping on a friends couch.." I lied.
"And we have a spare room so we are perfect for you!" Ronnie samiled. "Plus we need help
with the rent.."
"Don't use me for what little money I have" I playfully slapped his arm.
"We won't use you for that" Max grinned. "We'll use you for your other things too"
"Make me feel so special" I spoke with sarcasm. "I'll see how it goes for a night!" I said
seriously it was a free place to stay plus I needed my money for more important things like
clothes and food. It's not like I'll actually move in with them.
We moved all the empty glasses in to the kitchen area to be washed the next day and binned all
the empty bottles of beer and whiskey in to the bin. I grabbed my old tattered black leather jacket
and my back pack filled with my only belonings as Ronnie turned the lights off an Max grabbed
the keys. Max threw me the keys as we all walked outside, I locked up as they both lit a cigarette.
I find smokers so attractive although, I don't smoke myself. They started walking ahead of me
while I put my jacket on and checked my phone. No new messages, maybe Craig didn't look in the
book yet.
"How slow are you?" Ronnie complained running to where I was and picking me up over his
shoulder and running in the pitch black night forward.
"Let me go!" I kicked and screamed laughing.
"Never!"
He caught up with Max but still didn't put me down to walk with them, I just hoped my back pack
didn't fall.
"You weigh like 2 pounds! You need to eat more" Ronnie said seriously.
"All the wight you carry is on your ass or your boobs" Max scoffed.
"That's not what you say to make a girl put weight on dude" Ronnie said putting me down.
"I didn't say it was a bad thing, I was just saying. I agree actually"
"Well thanks guys, way to make a girl feel good. Would you tell sombody who was bigger to
loose weight? Or would you even give them the time of day becaue they weren't as skinny as
you think they should be? Fuck you" I argued.
"Whoa, we were only saying!" Max responded.
"Yeah, well before I ran away I was 'big' and noobody would even look at me let alone talk
to me" I choked.
"Sorry but I still think you should put weight on you're technically under weight" Ronnie said
walking off to a building of appartments. Max nodded I just did't reply. If I had the money to eat
I'd still be that fat kid nobdoy liked.

_______________________________________________________________________________

We got inside and luckily their appartment was on the bottom floor I could not be botherd to walk
up a flight of ratty old stairs at this time. The metal number on their door was hanging upside
but it was supposed to be a number 4. Ronnie opened the door to a appartment that had clearly
never had a woman in longer than over night, the floor was clean but then there were dirty pots
and take-away boxes on the table. The walls in the main area/kitchen were coverd in posters of
bands, half naked women and films.
They took me on a mini tour of the appartment the first room on the right was Ronnie's the
second on the right was the bathroom and the second on the left was Max's. This left me with
the spare room the first on the left, Max opened the door. The room wasn't as bad as I expected
it was going to be it was all white with a plane light blue bed, it wan't much but it was better than a
park bench or cheap motel room.
"Here you go" he nodded. "If you need us you know where we'll be"
"Thanks, night guys" I said throwing my bag on the bed. Ronnie shouted night from his room I
was that tired I didn't notice he had gone.
"Night Max" I reapeted looking at him directly in the eyes.
He just stood in the door way looking at me.
"What?"
"Nothing" he shurgged.
"You only said I'd be coming to yours tonight not that anything would happen. I'm here and I'm
going to bed alone" I said taking my jacket off and hanging it on the end of the bed. He
stepped in the room and pulled me against his body into a hug, then in one swift movement he
removed my shirt so I was sood in my red lace bra. Slowly he stepped back to look at me, it felt
I was under inspection he smiled like he approved and then removed his own shirt. I bit my lip.
I didn't expect him to put his t-shirt on me but he did it was more like a dress because it was an XL,
not that Max is an XL it was baggy on him too.
Next he un-done my jeans and pulled them down as far as she could whilst he was standing but
he had to kneel down on the floor to take them off completly. He slowly stroked my left leg as
he stood back up. His face was less than an inch from mine I could smell the smoke on his
breath. I never noticed how big Max's lips were before but I knew how soft they felt. I tilted my
head to the side and so did he, I could see him looking at my lips too. I smiled witch made him
smile back.
"Night, Max"
"Night, hoe" he bent down and wispered in my ear, giving me goosebumps. He backed out of
the room and closed the door.

I sighed with relef because all I wanted was a good nights sleep and lie in. I placed my bag on
floor and put my hair in a plat. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was asleep instantly.
___________________________________________________________________________________

I woke up the next morning at 9.45 due to a text mssage on my phone. It said:

Hi, Katie-Jane it's Craig, Craig Mabbitt.
I didn't even notice you gave me your
number one of my boys looked, sorry.
Anyway I have something for you.
Meet me today at the mall I'll
at Starbucks waiting xx

I smiled at my phone if anybody saw me, I would have looked like total douche bag. I'll wait to
reply I didn't want to look to eger. I got up grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste and made my
way over to the bathroom it didn't look like anybody was wake so I opened the door to the
bathroom quietly, this room was suprisingly clean in comparison to the rest of the appartment.
I opened the white cubard on the wall and picked out a dark blue towel and hung it on the side.
I turned the shower on and stepped in the hot running water.
It felt so nice to feel all the dirt to wash away, I reached for the shampoo but realised it was an
all in one shampoo and conditioner. If I was going to stay here every so often I'd need to go
shopping for them girls don't use two in one of anything! Even homeless girls.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me, it just covered my butt. I brushed
my teeth and grabbed Max's shirt off the floor that I had wore for bed the night before.
I opened the bathroom door to find Ronnie in nothing but boxer shorts outsid the door. I hadn't
seen the tattoo on his chest befor but it was beautiful a large owl with it's wings spread out, it had
two roses that weren't coloured in at either side there was a head coming out of the bottom that
hadn't been finished either. The tattoo just enhanced Ronnie's beauty.
"Shit sorry, if you were waiting you shoukd have shouted and I'd have hurried up!" I rushed.
"Nah, it's fine dude" he said in a hoarse voice.
"Where do I put the washing?" I asked waving the t-shirt in his face.
"Anywhere, we'll take it to the cleaners on Wednesday"
"Oh well I better get dressed" I half smiled realising I was still in a tiny towel.
"Ah yeah maybe you should" he smiled. "If you need straightners or anything it's all in the lounge
side board"
"Cheers dude!" I smiled and brushed past him to get changed.

I got changed into my red jeans and a Black Veil Brides t-shirt with my same old plain black
creepers. I had a very distinctive look you could say, black and green hair, skinny jeans and
piercings, no tattoo's yet I just don't have the money or time.
I'd love a butterfly for my first one my Grandaddy used to call me it because "Butterflies are
unique" and so was I. The thought of my Grandad makes me my heart ache, I miss him so much.
I shook away the thought and put my usual make up on red lips, black eyes nothing else. I wrapped
my hair up in the towel so I did wet all my clothes.
Today I was going to straighten my hair for the first time in over two years. I have a lot more hair
than I used to have never cut my hair in them two years either.
I walked in to the living area where Max and Ronnie were sat at a little wooden table on two
wooden chairs eating Sugar Puffs, perfect way to describe the two of them.
"Whoa, she put make-up on dude I wanted to see how narly she looked" Max scoffed in his big
mouth.
"I never said she looked narly"
"No you said she looked prettier but you have no taste"
"I have ears you know guys but thanks Ronnie you don't look so bad yourself" I said standing in front
of the coffee table, they just laughed. "What now?" I pouted.
"You don't suit wearing a turbin" Max laughed louder.
"Aww, look she is pouting" Ronnie chuckled.
I ignored them and walked over to the side board and got out the hair dryer and straightners and
sat down on the old dusty couch. I finished my hair in under half an hour but I didn't like it much.
"Ronnie do you have any scissors?" I complained looking at my hair in the mirror above on the wall.
"Yeah why?"
"I want to cut a fringe in my hair" he said bringing the scissors to me.
"Okay just don't slip, if you fuck your hair up you'll have to wait ages for it to grow. Won't she Max?"
he laughed.
"Fuck. Off." Max cursed.
"It'll be fine" I sad standing closer to the mirror so I could cut it neatly, I cut staight along so I had
a full fringe just below my eyebrows. "How do I look?" I said waving around the scissors.
"Less hairy than the floor" Max said walking towards me taking the scissors out of my hands. "In
all seriousness I like it makes your face look better"
"Thanks hun, shame a hair cut couldn't do that to you" I smiled innocenly.
"Now, now children play nice" Ronnie said sweeping the hair up off the floor. Max glared at me
and stormed off to his room like a moody teenager. "He's okay, he just wants to be a drama queen"
"Ah, it's fine I'll be nice later but right now I need to go out"
"Oh, okay well we'll be sorting stuff out for the competition"
"Yeah I'll ask Em later at work about it, if she say's no I'll ask Al, he loves me so it'll happen" I
winked at him.
"It better" he half smiled. "You know, thank you"
"For what?"
"Believing in us"
I pulled him in to a hug as my answer and pecked his lips.
"I better go" I said pulling my phone out of my pocket making sure I had my envelope full of money.
I'm not the person to get ino emotinal conversations, were a mask and hide what you really feel.

____________________________________________________________________________________

I went to the mall without replying to Craig to see if he had waited for me, he had I coud see the
back of his head bending down looking at his phone. I walked in to Starbucks quietly so he didn't
turn around.
"Hey sir, would you ike another coffee while you wait?" I said making my voice go high and girly.
"Yeah, with cinnimon and syrup" he replied not even bothering to look up.
"Good, well you can go get me one too. I'll have a mocca frappicino" I said sitting myself across the
table from him. He looked up and smiled.
"Thought you weren't going to show"
"I wasn't.. but I needed to go shopping" I winked.
"Oh, I was going to say nice new hair but.."
"Oi" I pouted.
"I'm joking, it's nice, you look amazing"
"Don't you'll make me blush!" I giggled. "C'mon we'll get coffees to go"

We got our coffees he got a hot cinnimon and syrup, and I got a mocca coffee cooler aka a frappicino.
Witch is basically like a coffee and chocolate ice cream milkshake with whipped cream on top. We
walked out into the mall to go shopping for me clothes an other thing that I desperatly needed.
"That looks healthy" Craig said pointing to my drink.
"Well two friends told me I needed to put weight on last night" I said using my finger as a spoon
and licking the cream off.
"Well I'm not going to agree, nor disagree"
"Pussy ass bitch"
His reaction to that was to put his finger in the cream and wipe it on my face.
"No you didn't"
"Ah, yeah I did" he said moving his face closer to mine I thought he was about to kiss me but instead he
licked the cream off my face.
"Your such a jerk" I laughed, he just shrugged.
We drank our coffees then walked into every shop we saw nothing looked like it would suit me. I
wanted a total new style because I just dress like a stroppy teenager, I wanted to look more mature.

"What about this store?" Craig said standing in front of Anne Summers.
"No, pervert" I laughed. "Oh my God! I found the shop!" I dragged him across the mall to a small
vintage second hand shop, I dragged him inside. It smelt like old Hollywood glammor.
"Everything is beautiful" I squealed.
"Okay chill out"
"Everything okay hunny?" a ctue old lady asked from behind the counter.
"Yeah everything is perfect, I love everything in here" I grinned at her.
"That's good hunny, you can try on and buy anything you want too dear. Call if you need help the
dressing rooms are just behind me" she smiled.
I nodded as I browsed though the section labeled 40-50's my favrouite era when Marilyn Monroe
was most famous. She will always be the perfect woman. I picked up 2 pairs of high wasted black
pinstripped mens trousers, 2 cropped cardigans, 2 mens checked shirts each and the quintessential 50's
red and white polka dot dress with a full puffed out skirt and a big red waist band.
"I'll have these please" I smiled excitedly taking the clothes over to the old lady.
"All of that? I'll have to do you a discount girl"
"No you don't I got paid yesterday, it'll hardly make a dent in it"
"Well that is $80 dollars all toghther"
"Really? It's all real vintage stuff in here you could charge loads!" I said surprised handing over the money.
"Yupp I know but I don't like to over charge people for second hand clothes" she said handing me
a carrier bag full of clothes.
"Well, I'll be sure to be back soon!" I smiled handing my bag to Craig to carry.
We went in a cheap shoe shop next so I could buy a pair of black dolly shoes to match every outfit.

"I'm hungry" I complained sittting down on a bench.
"Same, witch reminds me I have your BBQ sauce" he said pulling it out of his pocket.
"Yey! Thanks" I said leaning my head on his shoulder.
"It's okay, butterfly" he yawned placing it in my bag of clothes, I felt my eyes well up at hearing sombody
calling me butterfly however it made me happy. "Wanna get something to eat?"
"Not today, I gotta get back to get ready for work I'm sorting out a gig for my friends band at the
bar I work at"
"Oh, well I gotta go sort out my bands tour too actually" I didn't really pay attention to what he had just
said, I stood up and said my goodbyes.
"See ya' Craig" I said quickly hugging him and walking in the direction back to Max and Ronnie's.
