(Sophie)
"What the fuck?!?!" I yelled looking at the disgusting sight of Mister Taylor naked on top of my mother. I couldn't believe it even though it was happening directly in front of my eyes
"Sophia" mom called out to me as Mr. Taylor jumped off her.
I stood looking at the horrid sight of them scrambling to put on their discarded clothing
"Sophia" Mom called again snapping me out of my horrified trance before I slammed the door and ran to my room closing it behind me
"Sophia wait!" she called out chasing after me soon she came knocking on the door
"Sophia let me in" she said but I didn't answer
"It's not what you think" she lied
"Oh so what he trip, fell and landed in-between your legs?" I yelled sarcastically at her
"I can explain Sophia just open the door" she said but I didn't even move.
She continued trying to get me to open the door but kept on failing until she finally left.
I feel unto my bed immediately after I was mentally exhausted and confused as to what the hell to do. Just as began to close my eyes to think about my thoughts, my door open and she came in
"How did you get in here?" I snapped at her
"It's my house Sophia I have a key" she said shaking her keys in front of me
"Fine what do you want?" I glared at her
"I'm here to talk about what you saw. There's no need to look at me like a monster" she sighed
"I don't want to talk to you; Get out of my room" I said
"Come on I'm sure you have some questions
"Just one. How could you?" I asked
"It's not as simple as you think. You should know I never planned on falling for Hugh"
"What! Fall for him!! That's your friend's, your best friend's, husband. What do you think she'd say if she finds out"
"Trudy already knows" she said calmly
"And you're still doing it." I said staring at her in disgust
"What about Jimmy? Does he know?" I asked even though it was unlikely. Taylor was known for his temper in situations like this. There was no way he'd be so calm today
"No he doesn't. And you won't tell him" she said very matter of a fact tone
"And why wouldn't I?" I asked
"Because it would break his heart" she stated
"So you two know this and you still do it. That's it I can't hear anymore of this. Get out. Get the hell out of my room!!" I yelled jumping off the bed and pointing to the open door
"Lower your voice" she said sternly
"You seem to have forgotten your place. This is my house. And who I bring over has nothing to do with you. You have a problem you can leave"
" You know what mom, fine" I said picking up my phone and purse and walked out of the room calling an uber
" Sophia where do you think you're going?"
"I'm getting out of your house" I said slamming the door behind me as I walked out unto the lawn
"Sophia Aurora Vortex get in the house right now" she said chasing me and grabbing unto my arm pulling me in
"Let me go" I said struggling to break free from her grip until Taylor's car pulled up in front of us.
"What's going on?" he asked
"James" mom said letting me go but keeping her eyes on me fearing I'd say something
"Taylor. Give me a ride now" I demanded getting into the car
"Um" he said looking at my mom but I glared a warning at her causing her to sigh and nod
"Alright. Where to?" he asked
"Um..." I wasn't actually sure where I was going. I hadn't even thought about that. Whatever right now I just need to get out of here so I could only chose the one person who wouldn't turn me away
"Libby's" I said before he drove away
" So mind cluing me in on what's happening?" he asked
I thought about it for a minute. Should I tell him. Taylor wasn't the best in these kinds of situations. So against my better judgement I decided not to
"We are just having a little disagreement about her new boyfriend. I really don't want to talk about it" that lie seem to take everything out of me
" Wow, I never thought your mom could date after she and your dad separated. It's been what four years ago"
And that's when it hit me. Something just cross my mind. A memory once long discarded
(Flashback Freshman year Sophie)
Nick had just drop me from school and had followed me all the way to my door
"Thanks for the ride Nick" I said
"No problem. I'll always pick up my favorite girl" my boyfriend said making me blush
"Thanks boyfriend" I love saying that. Nicholas Dean is my boyfriend. I still can't believe it. Well secret boyfriend. Only Libby knows and maybe Sheen. I hadn't told anyone else about it since we decided to take it slow
"You want to come in? My dad's in town" I said
"Sorry babe. My brother and his girlfriend invited me to come hang out with them. Plus isn't it a little too early to meet the parents" he laughed at the last sentence
"Yeah you're right. I guess I am jumping the gun a bit. So can I come? Hang out I mean"
"Sorry babe this isn't the type of crowd you want to hang out with" he said kissing my lips
"Okay. Be safe" I said
"I will. See you around babe" he said before driving away
I sigh as his car vanish down the street before I walked inside just in time to hear my mom say
"So you're really leaving huh" her tone was nonchalant as if she didn't really care
"What did you think was gonna happen. When you decided to do that with that fucking idiot" dad cursed. He was obviously angry at her
"Don't you play that game with me Alexander. You can't pretend like your goddamn innocent. After you slept god knows how many of those sluts, I'm sorry 'business partners'"
"Mom, Dad. Why are you fighting?" I asked
"Sophia? When did you get home?" Dad asked surprised
"Just a while ago"
"I see don't you have piano lessons"
"Lessons are channeled. The instructor couldn't make it" I informed him
"Why didn't you call? How did you get home?" he asked concerned
"I took a cab" I lied before I remembered my original question
"But that's not the point. Why were you guys fighting?" I asked before they shared a looking as if having a conversation filled with silent glares and head shaking
"Sophia darling you misunderstood" Mom said
"Yeah your mother and I weren't fighting" Dad said before I noticed the bags at his feet
"What are those bags for? Don't tell me another business trip. I thought you weren't going to away Dad"
"I'm not going on business sweetie. I'm just heading over to a friend's out of town. I'm just gonna clear my head"
"Why?"
"Something happened and I just need some time away sweetie. Dad will be back for you okay"
"Okay Dad" I said
"Remember to give your dad a big kiss before he leaves" Dad joked puckering his lips
"Come on Dad. I'm a high schooler now. That's embarrassing" I said before he laughed
"Alright I guess I'll have to settle with a hug now that my baby girl's all grown up" Dad sighed before opening his arms
I sighed before hugging him tightly
"I love you"
"I know Dad" I smiled
"Alright. I have to get going. Goodbye Sophie" he said as he walked pass me
"Bye Dad" I said as he walked out of the house
"Bye Sophia" dad repeated closing the door.
(Flashback end. Current Sophie's POV)
"This is your stop" Jimmy said stopping at Libby's driveway
"Thanks again for the ride Taylor" I said getting out of the car
"You okay?" He asked me
"Yeah I'm fine. Why?"
"I don't know. You just seem out of it the whole ride here. I just wanted to know if everything was okay"
"You sure"
"Taylor. I'm fine" I said closing the door
"Alright then I'll see you tomorrow" he asked
"Tomorrow?"
"Yeah. We still have an assignment to finish. Did you forget?"
"It's been a long night. I'll be there. See you" I sighed causing him to drive away
After gathering all my courage I walked up to the door and took a deep breath before going to knock but before I could knock I heard her say
"And how may I help you today?" she said from behind me
I turned around and saw her and her dad
"Hey Libby. Goodnight Mr. Hall" I said smiling awkwardly as she stared at me intently
"Hello Sophia. It's been a while since you came over" Mr. Hall said
"I've been quite busy recently" I lied
"Can you cut to the chase and tell what you're doing on my lawn?" Libby asked
Her dad seemed to sense the animosity in the air and decided to excuse himself
"I'll give you two some privacy" he said going into the house
"Hey Libbs" I said
"Cut to the chase Sophie. What are you doing here?"
"I need your help"
"And why don't you go to your boyfriend's" she said
"Libby you're the only one I can talk to. I need your help. I have no one else to turn to" I said desperately. She took a good look at me, not saying anything before she sighed and walked pass me. I had never thought Libby would walk away from me, especially during a time of need, but here she was walking away. I was about to walk away dejected when she suddenly stopped
"Aren't you coming in?" She asked as I smiled weakly and followed her in
We went to straight to her room and she asked
"Okay what's the big deal this time? What did Nick do this time?"
"This isn't about Nick?"
"Jimmy?"
"Sort of but not in the way you're thinking" I said unsure how to even say the words
"Girl, I don't plan on playing one hundred questions with you. Just tell me what's wrong"
"It's my mom Libbs" I said
"What happened to your mom? Is she okay? Is she hurt or something?" Libby asked concerned
"She's fine Libbs. Nothing bad happened to her" I said
"Okay so what's going on with your mom?" Libby let out a sigh of relief
"I....I caught her..." I said still unable to say it
"Caught her? Caught her doing what?"
"I caught her in bed with a guy" I said before she burst out laughing
"Is that what you're acting so dramatic about? Honestly it's been four years since your dad walked out on you guys. I think it's about time she moved on" she laughed
"Libby it's Mr. Taylor" I informed before she stopped laughing
"As in.."
"Yeah, my mom's having an affair with Taylor's father" I said
"Okay Soph, you're gonna have to explain this to me from the beginning
"What's there to explain? I came home after Fright Night and saw the two of them...doing it. That's why she wanted me to get out of the house so badly"
"Oh shit. Are you kidding me?"
"Because I have nothing better to do than to make up a twisted affair" I said
"This is so messed up Sophie"
"You think I don't know that?" I groaned
"So what are you going to do?" she asked
"I honestly don't know. After an argument I just picked up my phone and purse and stormed out. If you didn't let me in I have no idea where I would have slept" I sighed
"What about Nick's. I'm sure that apartment of his would have an extra room" she said
"I can't go to Nick's"
"Let me guess? You're embarrassed to sleep in the same house as your boyfriend and his mistress" she teased
"Yeah, that and I broke up with him tonight. Going there would give him mixed signals" I admitted
"Really you and Nick broke up" she asked cocking an eyebrow
"Yeah I caught him making out with Brittney at Fright Night"
"Well at least one good thing happened tonight" she joked getting me to laugh
"So what about your night" I asked before she put on a bright and cheerful smile
"Girl it's was the fricking best. Other than hosting and dj-ing the best Fright Night ever, Carlos also reminded me that I have the best boyfriend ever" she said before noticing the slightly jealous look on my face
"Sorry" she said
"No it's fine. I really need to hear something good happening tonight"
"Alright then listen up. For a couple weeks now my father's been...." she said before we started talking and laughing something I needed
(Jimmy)
After dropping Vortex off at Libby's I started heading for home. I took out my phone and decided to check up on Betty a I cruised down the empty streets
*Hey Betty* ✅✅
*Betty❤💝😍- Hey James. How's it going? Are you home yet*
*No. I had to drop Sophie off at Libby's.*✅✅
*Betty❤💝😍- oh Sophie huh*
*Yeah I met her on my way home and she asked me for a ride. You okay with that?*✅✅
*Betty ❤💝😍- Why would I think about that matter? It's not like we're dating or anything.*
*Because I like you and I want you to know.*✅✅
*Betty❤💝😍- so did you two..... Nvm*
I smiled as I looked at her text. I knew exactly she was going to ask so I answered
*No. We did not kiss or anything like that* ✅✅
*Betty ❤💝😍- I never ask if you did. I really don't care if you did. Anyways you shouldn't text and drive. Text me when you get home*
*Goodnight*✅✅
*Betty ❤💝😍- goodnight drive safe*
*I will* ✅✅
I put the phone in my pocket and drove home
After that long day. I was tired and just wanted to sleep. I walked in and went to the kitchen to see my dad making something in the kitchen
"Hey Dad. I thought you were working late tonight?" I asked
"Yeah. The boss said I could leave early. There was a complication today" he said
"Okay so where's mom?"
"I don't know. Maybe she's working late"
"Okay. Dad I think you should take Mom out"
"Um....excuse me" he said
"You know Mom's been on edge lately and she's being really paranoid. I think you should take her out. It might keep her from thinking you're having an affair" I said
"An affair" Dad said choking
"Yeah silly isn't it?" I said
"Yeah.....silly" he said with a laugh that seemed forced
"So what you making?"
"Just a snack you want any"
"No I'm really tired. I'm just gonna head to bed"
"Good night, Jimbo"
"Good night Dad" I said going up the stairs
(Rebecca)
The sun had just risen and I had risen with it. My morning routine had already begun. The first thing I do after waking up is stretching then I look across my bed to see Rose laying beside me. It looks like she got drunk again. Rose was a classic party girl. She would go to any party the sororities were having to drink and sex the night away before stumbling to the dorm and flopping down on my bed as if it were her own.
I sighed putting my sheet over her and getting off the bed and headed for the kitchen got a glass of water and put it on the night stand with an aspirin for when she wakes up. After that I head to the shower before getting dressed then returned to the kitchen to make my breakfast.
My typically breakfast was a cup of coffee along with butter toast, or sometimes jammed, even I wake up earlier than usual like today I would make pancakes with eggs, bacon and cheese. This was Rose's favorite breakfast meal.
I was never the type to spend much so I usually only buy stuff I needed. Leaving with lots of spare money. That is usually immediately used on books or to save for next term's tuition
I took out a tray of eggs and a pack of Bacon before closing the fridge and a frying pan before placing two slices of bread in the toaster before frying the eggs and bacon 🍳. Today was a mix of my two main breakfast
The toaster finished and the eggs and Bacon finished soon after and I put them on two plates with two cups of coffee. This was when I began the countdown
"3....2...1" I said and like clockwork Rose came running into the kitchen
"Crap I'm late for class" she said frantically before she noticed me eating
"Oh good breakfast" she said sitting down
"Good morning Rose" I sighed as I got up putting my plate in sink then throwing my coffee in a to go cup
"Bye Rose"
"See ya" she said
"Oh by the way. Your hair's a mess" I said causing her to rush to the bathroom before I left.
I got to my car and drove off campus. The road was always clear this early in the morning, that was one of the benefits of living in a small town like this. The drive to work gave me time to sort out ,y thoughts. I was usually very early for work so Trudy, tired of me calling her in the morning as well as seeing me on the sidewalk waiting for her, gave me a copy of the key. Today a little strange though as I put the key in the lock I noticed it was opening. Deciding to not put too much thought into it I went inside to see an usually messy store. Some of the tables were on the table while some were still under the table. The floor was covered in dirt, juice stains, pie crumbs and something else.....Is that a condom wrapper. I reached for it when suddenly Trudy appeared
"Rebecca" She said seemingly surprised
"Trudy? What happened here?" I asked showing her the mess
"Um....it must have been a break in. You know I've been hearing more and more of those have been happening recently" she said seemingly frazzled
"So have you alerted the authorities?" I asked
"I'm glad you mentioned it. I was just about to make my way to the police station. Surely you don't mind cleaning this place before the customers arrive" she asked e
"Sure Trudy" I said eyeing her.
Her hair looked like she had hastily combed it as many stranded were loose and she seemed to be wearing the exact same clothes she wore yesterday
"Thank you. You'll be sure to give you a bonus for this" she laughed nervously
"Sure." I said heading to the back but she got in my way
"Wait!" she suddenly yelled
"What's wrong?" I asked
"You can't go there"
"Why not? The mops are behind there"
"Um it's because. Because?...…Because I need you to go buy some ingredients from the supermarket"
"Ingredients?"
"Yeah those trouble makers must have raided the fridge. There's barely anything in there" she said
"Um sure" I said before she gave me a messily written list and cash she took out of her purse
"Isn't this a bit much?" I asked
"Nonsense it's fine. If any change remains you can just keep that" she laughed awkwardly again
"Um.....thanks?" I said confused at her behavior
(Brittney)
"Come on. Where is it? I knew she hid it in here somewhere" I said digging through my mother's draw
"Looking for something?" my mom asked suddenly appearing behind me
"Mom" I said shocked as I turned towards her
"You're not getting those keys Brittney" she said
"Please. I really need to go over to Carl's. I made a mistake. I really need to talk him" I said. I hadn't been able to sleep much at all last night as I was too distraught by the foolish mistake I had made
"Oh really? You spent almost the whole night calling his phone. It's pretty clear he doesn't want to talk to you"
"Please I have to talk to him. I swear it will only take fifteen minutes"
"No. What you have to do is head to the airport. Do you really think you can miss this opportunity? This could be your big break"
"I won't miss it mom. Just please thirty minutes"
"And what of they decide that they want to see you thirty minutes earlier. You can't mess this up. This is the only thing you're good at" she snapped at me
"Mom!" I said gasping at her bluntness
"Sorry but you need to face reality. Because of that. You won't get anywhere in school and you don't have a useful skill. And you lack even a iota of talent. Your looks are the only thing you have going for you. And beauty, my dear is fleeting. You have the opportunity to make us of it while it last. But you want to squander it for some guy."
"It's not some guy mother. It's Carl. He's a good man and-" I said
"You're right. Carlton is a good kid but what use does he have to you. His family can barely support themselves with their small pharmacy" she said interrupting me
"It's not about Mother" I groaned
"It is you foolish child. Do you have any idea how much getting you into this modelling thing cost? Huh? Do you think that money just came from the sky? I had to work to get you those headshots and all those other foolishness. Now you want to tell me it's not about money. Everything is about money in this world. If you had actually gotten Nick we wouldn't even be having this conversation. No instead that Vortex girl got him. As if she doesn't already have enough blessings" Mother berated me
"Can we stop talking about Nick?" I said
"Fine. All you need to do is get ready for that damn photo shoot"
"Fine. Call Bree. Tell her I want to leave early" I sighed
"Now that's my girl" mom said brushing back my hair before she walked away.
Half an hour later Bree came and we got in the car.
"Alright. We should make it to the airport before four. We should land by eight. After we arrive we should get you in hair and makeup" Bree said about to tell me the schedule
"Sophie" I said cutting her off
"What? You nervous?"
"No it's not that. I want to make a pitstop before we go to the airport"
"Carlton's?" she guessed
"Yeah" I nodded
"And your mother?"
"Just drive" I said choosing to worry about that later
We drove to Carl's house and I got out and rung the doorbell and Carl's dad opened the door
"Mister Stewart" I said politely
"What do you want?" Mr. Stewart said making no attempt to hide his contempt for me hidden
"I know it's really but is Carl up yet?"
"He's not here"
"Not here? So where did he go?" I asked concerned
"He didn't come home last night"
"So where did he go after the dance" I asked distraught. Oh my god what if something happened to him. This is my fault
"That's what I should be asking you"
"I actually don't know where he is. We sort of had an argument and my manager picked me up"
"So did he find out?"
"Find out? About what?" I asked
"Your addiction"
"What addiction? I don't have an addiction"
"Don't try to lie. I found a packet in your bag"
"You searched my bag" I said offended
"No it fell out when you left it in our house" he dismissed me
"So did you tell Carl?" I asked nervously
"No and I'm not going to"
"Why not?"
"Look Brittney, you're not a bad girl. You just made a mistake. And Carl already thinks I'm the one taking it"
"What? Why would he think you took it" I asked shocked
"He spotted me when I was talking to your dealer friend. Everything happened too quickly for me to explain"
"So why not tell him the truth?" I sighed
"I'm his father Brittney he'll forgive me at some point. He can't stay mad at me forever. I wouldn't want this to get between you two. Carl seems really happy now"
"It's okay. You should tell him the truth. It's not like we're on the best of terms right now"
"Mind explaining?" he asked seemingly to be genuinely interested
"I made a mistake during Fright Night and long story short. Carl and I are done" I said
"Glad you know" I heard Carl's voice from behind me
"Carl" I said shocked
"I'll give you two some privacy" his father said going inside
"Hi" I said awkwardly
"What do you want Brittney?"
"I came here to apologize but your dad said you weren't home"
"Yeah I slept over at a friend's" he lied
"Oh that's cool I guess" I said although I knew it was a lie I had no reason....or right to call him out on it
"Get to the point. What are you doing here"
"I came to apologize. And I just want to let you know nothing happened with Nick"
"So that wasn't your lipstick on his lips and you weren't wearing his jacket. If nothing happened why the hell was your shirt off" he said sarcastically
"It was an accident. There was this jerk and he got punch all over my costume top"
"Accident. That's very likely" he scoffed
"I don't expect you to forgive me"
"Good because I don't"
"But I just want you to know that I'm sorry" I said walking pass him
"Where are you going?" He asked
"Back to work. I was only suppose to stay for a week"
"So why did you stay so long?"
"I guess I had you keeping me here" I said walking to the car but before I got in I turned to him and said
"You're a kind and charming person Carl. It's too bad. I missed my chance. Tell the girl you slept with don't make the same mistake" I said tears in my eyes as I got in the car and drove away
"You okay?" Bree asked
"I'm okay" I said forcing a smile
"Brittney" she said
"It hurts Bree. I really messed up Bree" I cried
"Dear dear Brittney. It happens, sometimes people make mistakes." she said pulling my head unto her shoulder. I cried on her shoulder the enter ride
(Sophie)
"Damn morning already" I said stretching as I got out of the bed
"Yeah and you have to head to your mom's" Libby said walking out of the bathroom
"Do I have to?" I groaned flopping down back on the bed
"Come on girl. The sooner you get this done the better" Libby said
"Yeah I know" I said crawling off her bed
"Come on go get a shower and let's get going" Libby said pushing towards the shower
After a shower I got dressed in a mini shorts, and lime green t-shirt and a shoes
"To the car" I said with fake enthusiasm
We got to her car and she drove to Carlos who was standing outside waiting on her
"Hello my Shinning one" He said kissing her for two minutes before they broke apart
"Sophie? Glad to see you guys are talking again" he said surprised
"Is she...?" He asked
"Oh God no. I'm just dropping her off at her house and back to mine"
"Why?"
"It's personal" I quickly said before he sighed and we drove off.
We drove to my house and Libby noticed she was almost out of gas.
So she stopped at the gas station when Carlos wanted to use the bathroom
"I'm going to walk the rest of the way. You can pick me up when Carlos back"
"You sure you can do this by yourself?" Libby asked
"Yeah" I said getting out of the car
"I'll see you. Good luck girl" She said driving away
I took a deep breath as I made my way to my house and unfortunately I saw another face I didn't wanna see
"What are you doing here Nick?" I asked
"I wanted to talk. I was gonna call but we both know how that would have turned out" His hair was a mess, his breath reeked of alcohol and he had bags under his eyes. It seemed like he hadn't slept at all last night and the fact that he was still in his costume made it clear that he hadn't even gone home
"Like this" I said choosing to ignore him.
"She kissed me Sophie. I didn't kiss back" he said
"Should that make it better" I said as I walked pass him. I didn't get far because he grabbed into my right arm as I passed
"Let me go" I said
"Please listen"
"Let me go" I said trying to break free from his grip but it only got tighter
"Nick you're hurting me"
"Please" he said tears in his eyes
"I'm serious Nick let me go before you regret it' I said glaring at him
"Oh Sophia darling. You finally came" mom said rushing out of the house and making Nick let go of my hand
"Nicholas. What a pleasant surprise?" Mother said flashing a fake smile
"Mrs. Vortex"
"Do you need Sophia for something. I'm sorry but Sophia already promised to help me with something important today. Isn't that right Sophia?"
I simply rolled my eyes at that
"I was actually leaving anyway" he said stumbling to his car
"It's such a shame. I recognized that lost look in his eyes. I'm guessing you broke up with him. He must be taking it quite hard" Mother said
"If you're expecting a thank you. Don't worry it's not coming" I said walking in
"I'm just happy to have you back" She said moving to hug m
"Also not happening" I said walking inside heading straight for my former room and started packing a suitcase as she sat comfortably on the couch and watched
"Oh Sophia-darling leave that horrid blouse here. Take the golden and white one it suits you much better"
"Aren't you being awfully merry about this?" I said irritated by her jovial tone
"I've decided to treat it like you're going on vacation. Because you're definitely coming back"
"And what makes you so sure?" I glared
"Because you don't have any where to go. You obviously can't keep staying at Libby's and it's not like you have anywhere else to stay"
"Keep telling yourself that" I said closing my suitcases and went out just in time to see Libby waiting on me
"You ready"
"Actually can you just drop off my things. I'm just gonna head over to Jimmy's"
(Trudy)
Rebecca had just left when Carl came out from the back room
"Is she gone?" Carl asked
"Yes. You should hurry up and get going too" I said
"About what happened?" He said
"Don't. Don't say anything. It was a mistake and we should never talk about it. In fact it never happened"
"But?"
"I mean it Carl. It never happened" I said sternly
"Okay. I'll....I will get going" Carl said
After he left I flopped into a chair with my head in my palms as flashes of last night crossed my mind. Not that I needed them I could still feel Carl's touch on me. It was....wrong but there stood a horrible and terrifying truth that it felt good. A icky feeling of enjoyment that seemed to disgust me. Damn what was I thinking
Deciding that staying at the scene of the crime was a bad idea. I wrote a note instructing Rebecca to put everything in the fridge before closing the shop and sticking the not on the glass.
I drove to the store and bought a morning after. Can't be too careful. I then drove home and walked on to see Hugh watching tv
"What? Your girlfriend not home today" I asked mockingly
"Where were you?" He asked
"I was out. I don't see how that's any of your business"
"Jimmy asked where you were and I told him. You were working late"
"And I was"
"We both know that's a lie"
"How are you so sure?"
"Don't do this Trudy. If you're angry about what I did. Having an affair won't change anything"
"I'm not doing anything. And if I were you don't seem to have a problem when you do it. Why would it be a problem if I do?"
"I know what's at risk. Do you?"
"You don't need to worry about me" I said walking away. I went to my room closing the door behind me.
Hugh does have a point, though I'd never admit it to his stupid duck loving face. God what the hell did I do. I felt guilty and disgusted by the fact I had enjoyed that forbidden fruit
Just then my phone went off and I answered
"Carlton"
"I know what you're gonna say but don't. I know what we did was wrong but you can't tell me you didn't feel good last night"
I couldn't answer
"I'll take as a yes. So I have a proposal. Come out of town with me".
