Remind Me How To Care

“No Sir, I'm sorry, like I said before, we don't have that particular guitar in stock right now, we can try and order it for you if you like?” So I was currently dealing with a dick head of a customer who wanted the Gibson Bullseye guitar, which I've tried to explain to him about twenty two times now that we don’t have, but God, isn't this fucker persistent.

“No Miss, that’s fine, I'll try the better shop down the street.” He said, looking down his nose at me.

“You go do that, Ass hole.” I smiled smugly and wiggled my fingers at him to tell him to get out of my shop already. He huffed and walked out.
Fucking snob.

“You know, you really shouldn’t speak to customers like that October, it’s not good customer service.” Danny said from behind me.

“Yeah, well, he shouldn't disrespect me in my shop.” I replied, looking at my nails, God I really should cut these, they're getting like cats claws.

“Not your shop October!” He called while taking a box of new ordered CD's into the stock room.

I huffed and put my head on the desk.

“My life is so boring.” I mumbled to myself.

“Aww come on, it can't be all that bad.” I knew that voice, that voice could make me smile on my darkest days.

“Lili!” I exclaimed and dived across the desk to hug her. Lili was my best friend, we met each other in high school in freshman year. I was skipping class under the bleachers and she came under to have a smoke. Turns out she was escaping cheerleading practice for a while. You see, Lili was the total opposite of me. She had the long, blonde, perfect hair and the bright blue eyes and the skinny yet curvy body with big boobs and nice ass. She had the nice clothes and perfect white teeth that hosted the million dollar smile and everything about her screamed PERFECTION. I guess it comes to no surprise when I tell you Lili is an extremely successful model, huh? I have to admit I was a little jealous. I mean I don't think I'm unattractive or anything, I mean, I was hot. But Lili was beautiful, and there's a big difference between the two. Me and Lili were best friends all the way through high school, her being the pretty popular one who everyone loved, and me being the hot tough girl who no one messed with, we made a pretty good team, except she was a serious goody-two-shoes and I was constantly getting detentions, suspensions, almost expelled. Mostly just for vandalising various parts of the school, like lockers, the swimming pool, teacher’s classrooms, etc. Or smoking on school grounds, possession of drugs, smoking during class, blah blah blah, it’s all political if you ask me (whatever the fuck that means).

“October, your boobs are suffocating me.” She squeaked.

“Sorry babe.” I let go, “So, what’s up?”

“Well, we ARE going out tonight.” She gave me a look that said I have no choice.

“Awesome, and don’t give me that look, when do I ever turn down an opportunity to get shit faced?” She giggled.
“Good point, my love, so go ask danny to get off now and we can go shopping and get all prettied up and stuff.” Yeah, like that would ever happen.

“You ask him, you know you have him wrapped round your pinkie finger.” I huffed, supporting my head with my hand.

“Fine, Dannyyy?” She purred.
All of a sudden there was a clutter that came from the stock room and five seconds later out stumbled a dishevelled looking Danny.

“Hey Lili, How's things?” He puffed, out of breath a little.

“They're good thanks, so...” She said, slowly walking over to him, dragging her finger across the top of the desk. “I was wondering...” She was now standing in front of him, looking down. “If maybe, I could, steal October away from you, please?” She finally asked looking up and giving him her seductive eyes that no man or woman could resist. Danny swallowed hart, and I swear I could see sweat forming on his brow.

“Um, uh-h, I, um, I dunno, L-lil.” He stuttered. I had to hold in my laughter, this was too funny, to see the usual cocky, smirking, obnoxious prick, sweating with nerves because of a woman.

“Pleeeease?” She purred again, dragging the word out and running her finger down his chest and to his stomach. Danny shivered and gulped again.

“O-okay, yeah, s-sure.” he stammered out.

“Yey! Thank you!” She exclaimed, adding a final touch to her act by throwing herself into his arms, making sure to press her voluptuous breasts obviously against him. He just froze.

The next thing I knew Lili was dragging me out of the store and down the street. As soon as we got about five steps away from the door I couldn’t hold it in any longer and I physically burst with laughter to the point where it felt as though my sides were splitting, it felt like I had to hold onto them to keep them together.

“Oh my God! Lili!” I tried to let out in between laughing hysterically, but it hurt too much to talk. She joined in on my laughter and we were basically falling over in the middle of the street.

“You should have been an actress, never mind a model.” I choked out as I eventually started to calm.

“I know, right?” She agreed. We gradually came to a stop, just letting out a little chuckle now and again.

“Right, to start off, we are going to get waxed, so come on girl.” She exclaimed, dragging me to the beauty salon.

“Do I have to? What’s wrong with a razor?” I groaned.

“Yes you do, and you're getting your nails and hair done too, my treat.” I knew there was no point in arguing because Lili was more stubborn that I was, and that’s saying something.

We arrived at the salon and were taken into the back room where all the hair removal stuff was.

“Hello Lili.” One of the beauticians said with a smile directed at my friend.

“Hey Sarah.” She replied.

“Who's your friend?” I'm guessing her name is Sarah, asked.

“Oh, this is October, The one I always talk about.” Lili answered.

“Ah. So you’re the famous October, heard a lot about you, all good things I promise.” Sarah winked at me.

“And I'm Jess, since Lili and Sarah are being rude and are blanking me.” The second beautician said extending her hand to me.

“Um, hi.” I said shaking it.

“Okay so hop on the beds girls and we'll get started. What it is you girls were wanting?” Sarah asked.

“Full body please.” Lili answered, getting on the paper covered bed and lying her head on the pillow provided.

“Is that including Bikini?” Jess questioned further.

“Yes please.” Lili smiled over at me.

“Huh? Lili, you never said anything about Bikini.” I narrowed my eyes at her.

“Tobi, relax, just let yourself be pampered, I do it all the time, it's much better than just shaving.” She replied as she took off her underwear and spread her legs.

“Ugh, fine.” I did the same and couldn’t help but feel self-conscious. Jess put the wax, um, down there, and it felt really warm and weird, then she pressed a fuzzy piece of paper to the same area, counted down from three, and I'm pretty sure the entire street heard my screams as she ripped it off.

Later

I looked at my self, one more time in the mirror. I look good. I know I did. But I still felt like shit. As always. My red/pink hair was loosely curled and styled for once. My eyes were rimmed thickly with black eye liner and shadow, my eyebrows pencilled into a perfect arch and my lips were painted with a dark reddish purple lipstick. Lili had also, in which I gave a LOT of protesting, gone through the 'trouble' of buying me a new dress and heels. The dress was dark purple and skin tight, hugging all of my curves and slightly pushing my babies (that’s what I call my tits) up just enough to draw attention. The shoes were black platform ankle boots with black spikes sticking out all over the place, I only picked them because I wanna kick someone with them to see if it would hurt. All in all, I looked good. I messed my hair up a little more and took a deep breath before walking out of my bathroom and into the living room.

“Oaw OAW!” Lili cheered like a wolf, running her eyes over my body. “I knew that dress would look good on you Tobi.” She nodded her head, clearly admiring her work and adding to her extremely large ego.
She looked better though. She always did. She was wearing an electric red dress with the lipstick to match. Her eyes were done in a natural but smoky look and her shoes were black wedges with an ankle strap and a matching clutch. But the thing I was most jealous of was her hair. I always envied her natural long blonde locks, which were currently barely curled and messed up. She looked fucking hot, as always.

“Alright, alright, can we just get going already?” I put my hand on my hip and motioned towards the door.

“Sure, let me just text Mikey to tell him we're on our way.” she got her blue iPhone out of her purse.

“Who's Mikey?”

“Just a friend, haven’t seen him in a while, so I asked him if he wanted to catch up.”

“Okie dokie, I'll just call a cab.” I went out to the balcony with my smokes and lighter and ordered the cab while lighting up.
A couple seconds later Lil came out with two shot glasses filled with a clear liquid. Vodka. My favourite poison.

“Cab should be here in twenty minutes.” I said blowing smoke in her face. She handed me one of the shots and raised it I copied and waited for her toast.

“To a kick ass night!” she yelled.

“Bebamos!” I yelled back before downing the acid like drink.
We saw the cab pull up below us.

Time for another night I'll forget.
