I lowered my eyes in embarrassment as I grabbed her wrist, I looked back at Faust not knowing what to say so I just pulled Victoria through the crowd trying to get as far away as possible. I told my friends that we were going home, I practically had to shove Victoria inside the taxi.
I just got in a fight with his sister, what the fuck was I thinking. I never get that mad, my body just took control and all I seen was red. Victoria fell asleep on my shoulder while I was freaking out.
And my hand hurt like a bitch
Victoria slept over because she was in no position to drive home last night, Jakob was blowing up her phone all night but I simply powered it off while she was sleeping. I couldn’t really sleep last night, I kept thinking about his sister than I would get embarrassed, that kept me up all night.
I was currently sitting at my table chugging down my coffee, I needed the energy badly. My hands were bruised and my chest had scratch marks all across while my face had very little. I lifted my knees to my chest as I looked out at the horizon from my balcony, I heard Victoria’s light footsteps walking towards the other chair. I pushed the bottle of advil and water on her side, she smiles up at me clearly satisfied with the medicine.
My hand feels broken. She whispers with a soft chuckle following after.
My head feels broken.
We both laughed, I leaned my head against the back of my chair. A pregnant silence intertwine between us, I’m shocked she didn’t power her phone back on to talk to her loser boyfriend.
Nicolas seems like a nice guy. She says, breaking the silence.
He is, just not the right guy for me. I said.
She nods. Is he single ?
I looked at her, confused on why she was so concerned about him.
I think so, why ? I asked.
No reason, I just wanted to know a bit more about the guy I almost choked last night.
I laughed and reenact the scene of her choking Nicolas with my neck as the example. She shoved my shoulder playfully while rolling her eyes, we both laughed and we couldn’t stop laughing. This would be the perfect time to tell her the truth about Jakob, our eyes both settled on each other.
I like sober Adora, it reminds me of when we were younger. Victoria smiles at me, I liked being sober, I was able to take care of her instead of her taking care of me, it made me feel a lot better.
Me too. I linked our hands together, I tugged at her giving her the memo to come over here.
I opened my arms, she hugged me back while sitting on my lap. She leaned her head against mine, we watched the sun in the distance.
I’ll tell her tomorrow
She held out her pinky, I knew exactly what this was. When we were younger and we would get in arguments we’d pinky promise so it was like waving a white flag between us. I linked my pinky with hers as we both leaned in to kiss our thumbs, we both giggled.
We both decided to get ready, I had to go speak with my dad about my loud neighbor next door who basically starts partying at three am in the morning. I dressed in a loose baby blue skirt with a light purple crop top paired with my black dr martens. Victoria was still in the shower so I left my spare key on my nightstand so she’ll lock the door when she leaves, I grabbed an apple before trying to head out the door.
Nicolas had his fist raised ready to knock, he lowered his hands once he realized I opened the door.
Sorry, your mom told me where you were living. Nicolas says. Of course she did, satan himself couldn’t stop her.
What can I do for you ? I asked while opening the door, inviting him in.
I’m assuming your friend is here ?
Victoria ? I questioned.
Yes. He nods.
Who’s at the door, A ? Victoria walks in the kitchen with a small towel wrapped around her body, she held on to her towel tighter once she realized who it was.
Her shoulders relaxed, she shifted legs as her eyes sparked with an emotion I’ve never seen on her before. Reality hit me like a truck on a busy highway, my eyes glanced between them. They seemed to be stuck in some strange trance with each other, Nicolas actually looked nervous for once. This is why she asked if he was single, she likes him.
You were saying ? I spoke up, Nicolas was the first one to break from the trance.
You forgot your wallet. He pulls her wallet out from his back pocket, she leaned in to grab it when her hand gently rubbed against his. Her eyes snapped up to his, she pulled her hand back quickly.
Thank you, my fiance would have gone insane if he found out I lost it.
I know Victoria very well, she made the word fiance very clear. She was trying to remind herself that she has a fiance, Nicolas looked hurt but disguised his feelings by smiling and nodding at the same time.
This is weird, I mean he was my boyfriend and we had sex.
Nicolas, I have a first aid kit in my bathroom. Do you mind checking out her hand ? I asked.
I knew he wasn’t going to say no, I could tell by the looks of it that he wanted to speak to Victoria privately. I’m not sure how I feel about that but right now it wasn’t my main priority, Victoria had to stay far, far away from Jakob but should she be wrapped in Nicolas’s arms I don’t know.
My hand is fine, and anyways I should go see what Jakob is doing. She blurted out, I could tell how nervous she was by how fast she responded.
You don’t know if your hand is fine, he’s a doctor. Just let him look so I’ll feel better about you driving home. I begged with puppy eyes.
She glanced at me then back at him.
Do you mind ? She asked him.
Nope, not at all. He responded all to quick as well.
Perfect, I left the spare on my nightstand, don’t forget to lock up once you leave. I said.
I walked out of there before I feel even more uncomfortable than I already do. Music played on my radio while I drove to my parents house, Faust immediately entered my mind when I listened to the lyrics to the song. What if he hates me now ? I mean I did beat up his sister, that was so unnecessary and immature. My body just took control, I seen a girl with him and I exploded.
I parked my car in the driveway, I got down and hurried inside because it was freezing. I opened the door with my key, I removed my coat and dropped my purse on the hooks my mom had. It smelt like lavender and vanilla, which is my moms signature scent for the house.
I walked inside the kitchen without a care in the world, till I spotted a very familiar back. His similar dark brown hair which was a lot like mine gave it away and his height and fancy suit.
Uncle Paul
He turned around almost shocked to see me, his smile faded away once his eyes landed on me.
My uncle and I were very close before the affair, he was like my older brother. My dad and him were also very close, it was weird seeing him again. I haven’t seen him since I caught my mom and him together, he moved to Italy and tried calling me many times but I blocked his number.
What the fuck are you doing here ? I questioned while glancing around trying to find my dad.
I can’t visit my family ?
