It's Monday morning and I'm lazily waking up and stretching from the long sleepless night I had along with the two glasses of hard liquor.
Last night was weird but I can't help replaying it all over in my head. If Wall Guy, or now officially "Funny" disliked me so much why'd he want me to drink with him and then not even want to say a word?
Steph comes out of the bathroom with a towel around her body and a towel in her hair. "Hey babe! Bout time you woke up it's like almost 10:30," she says. I furrow my eyebrows, rub my eyes with the back of my hand
"Oh, shit really? I had a long night of tossing and turning." I say and she laughs shaking her head."
"I know bitch I'm fully aware, these black circles under my eyes didn't come from me." She says pointing underneath her eyes.
"Sorry," I mumble back.
"It's okay, you're lucky I love you. So I'm going to get ready and then I need to head to my office for some work." She says.
I nod to her and snuggle into the blanket.
"Alina and Ellie are coming over tonight, Mia will be working on an event for Julian's birthday on Wednesday, so she won't be around. We're going to order a pizza, have some wine, and talk shit. You in?" Steph asks.
I giggle into the blanket "It sounds like a perfect night to me."
She widens her grin and turns away looking for something to wear.
After she's done getting ready she leaves and I'm here alone. I decide to shower and look presentable so I can look halfway decent around the supermodels. I curl my hair and follow a YouTube tutorial using Steph's makeup and it turned out good, not quite like the influencer but still good.
…
It's six o'clock before Steph gets back from work. She changes out of her dress, which is actually pretty professional looking, and into something comfortable.
She yells out from the bedroom "Ellie and Alina will be here in 10! Can you take out some glasses and wine?"
I tell her I'll take care of it and do as she asks. There's a knock on the door and open it for Ellie and Alina.
They compliment my appearance which skyrockets my self-esteem coming from them. Steph comes out and says she just ordered the pizza. We occupy both the living room and kitchen considering the space in here.
"So…" Alina starts,
"Are you ladies coming on Wednesday to Julian's party?"
Ellie winks at Step, and Steph rolls her eyes shaking her head no.
"C'mon Steph! You know Julian is into you. You're really going to break his heart on his birthday?" Ellie asks with a sad puppy dog face.
"No guys, he is anything but into me. I should just keep my distance from him because the only one that will get their heart broken here is me." Steph points to herself.
Before I even realize what I'm saying, I blurt out "I'll go with you." Steph widens her eyes in surprise
"Really?! You will? Are you sure?" I regretfully nod.
The absolute last thing I want to do is go back to that god-forsaken club but my best friend needs me and that overrides any of my personal feelings at the moment.
She kisses my cheek with excitement and says "I love you Emily Hill."
"love you more," I say with a smile.
…
We sit eating pizza and drinking wine while watching some reality love shows like The Bachelor or something along those lines. I never understood these shows. They make no sense but to be honest, I'm kinda hooked on it right now, I'd never admit that out loud though.
I randomly start thinking of that "Funny" guy during a boring part of the show, "Who is that guy funny?" I ask.
They look at me in utter confusion.
"You mean the guy on the show?" Ellie asks pointing at the TV.
I shake my head "No, the guy that lives here. He said his name is Funny."
This piques their interest even more,
"Wait, you've been talking to a guy here?" Steph asks almost mad. I shake my head again,
"No not like that…The guy is a real jerk. He's the one from the other night I told you about. I ran into him in the kitchen last night, and after he aggressively insulted me, he cornered me and made me have a couple of drinks with him," I explain.
They look at each other and then at me and finally Alina speaks up "I've never heard of a Funny before. Are you sure you heard correctly?"
I nod my head.
She continues "I'm not sure Millie, he could've been a guest or a client from out of town?"
I shrug my shoulders "Yeah maybe" and then they pester me wanting to know more about this mystery man but I really don't have much to give them, and to be quite frank if I never see him again it'd bring me no greater joy.
It's nearing midnight now and the girls are yawning and calling it night. They leave and I offer to clean up to let Steph get some rest. I'm not in the least bit tired because I woke up late and did nothing remotely physical today other than walk to the shower. I want to venture out of the suite, I'm getting a little stir crazy, and if for not last night's incident, I'd want to go back down to the kitchen but tonight I think I just want to sit outside and get some fresh air. I quietly leave the suite and make my way down.
