Ava's POV
I woke up to the continuous annoying buzz of my phone that just wouldn't stop. I pulled my phone towards me without opening my eyes cuz my head hurt terribly, "What exactly do you want?" I said irritated to the other person on the other side. "Ava, where on earth are you?" I heard Trish's voice. "Where else could I-" I was still saying but wait where was I cuz I don't remember going home.
I opened my eyes to a grey ceiling. I sat up and looked around and indeed I wasn't home. " Wait, I'm not sure where I am now. I'll get back to you." I told Trish and hang up.
I went out of the room to look around luckily I had my clothes on so nothing happened.
The apartment wasn't that big but bigger than mine and Trish's plus it was quite stylish. On the walls in the living room were photos of a handsome dude, on looking closely I realized that it was Gregory. At this point I really don't want to have anything to do with him. I kept quiet and didn't move so as to hear if there was anybody else around. Luckily there wasn't cuz I don't even know what I'd do to Greg for bringing me here once I saw his face. I grabbed my shoes and phone then left. I couldn't even take a shower because I don't want to use anything that belongs to him, even the mere thought of him carrying me in his arms to his place and staying in the same house the whole night makes me want to beat someone up. I got a cab and went home.
Once I opened the door, I saw Trish sitted staring at the door like she had been waiting for me for a long time. "What you doing sitted there?"I asked her as I entered.
"Not even a hi or a hello or an explanation for where you were last night."said Trish. "I don't need to answer that nor feel like it so don't make a big deal out of it and besides it's not like you spent the night here either!" I caught her off guard. She relaxed and was looking like she committed a crime last night.
" Look at me Trish. Look at me, are you still a virgin?" I asked her and she started coughing like she was choking.
"Trish, seriously did you lose your virginity?!" I asked again.
" Huh! what are you talking about? I didn't, I didn't... everything is still intact." she replied and I sighed a sigh of relief.
" Girl, I thought you lost it before I could." I said as she came to hit me. " How could you say such a thing." she said and we laughed.
We turned to each other and asked at the same time, "Seriously, where were you last night?" It was awkward but I told Trish to go first.
"As you know we drank like crazy last night and we were only with Greg and Mr Delavega so since you were with Greg, I was obviously with Mr Delavega." she said.
"What do you mean I was obviously with Greg." I said and she gave me a look saying isn't it obvious.
" Hold on, Ava are you blushing? Tell me what's going on between you two, did you sleep together?" Trish exaggerated and you all know she did cuz I couldn't possibly be blushing over Gregory my face must be red with anger. Yeah, that's it.
"Do you hear yourself right now?! You're speaking pure nonsense. Nothing can ever happen between me and Gregory even if I was put at gunpoint, I'd rather die." I told her.
" Why are you so bitter? And Gregory?! Why you call him that." she asked.
" Cuz that's what we used to call him in high school." I say as I move to my room cuz I didn't want to discuss this topic but Trish pulled me back cuz once the girl is curious, she wants details from A to z.
" So you knew Greg back in high school?! Were you guys dating and had an unhappy break up or what?!" she asked curiously.
" Three things. First, don't pair me with Gregory. Second, he was friends with Sebastian, the guy I was crushing on and third, could we not talk about him." I said. "But Ava you know once I want to know something I really want to know it so if you would please tell me what happened between you, Greg and Sebastian so that I can understand why you hate Greg so much and we can close this chapter until further notice." she said and I just had to give in.
"Fine, fine, fine..anything to get you stop mentioning him. This is how it went." I told her everything and when I was done she was quiet and giving me some face.
" If you want to say something just spit it out already." I said. " Don't get mad but what exactly is Greg's fault in all this? I mean isn't he the victim or if I would say, the sacrificial lamb. In my opinion, you dragged the poor guy into your mess." Trish said.
"Trish, since I've been away for long did you and Greg become super tight or something?! Aren't I your bestie and not him, how could you take his side." I said. " I know I'm your bestie but that doesn't mean I should side with you even when you're wrong."she said. "Your unbelievable. I'm feeling awful and I need a bath and so do you. I'm off to my room and please don't bring up Greg again I gave you what you want."I say to her getting up.
In my room, I couldn't help but think about Trish's words and that I just might be wrong this time and even if I was, I Ava Lopez can never admit my mistake so there's no way I'm apologizing to him, just no way." I got into the shower and decided to wash down any thoughts of Gregory as well.
Greg's POV
I put Ava into the car but she was still sleeping, she looked really cute and calm asleep than when she was awake. I like her better this way, quiet. I moved to fasten her seat belt and as I was pulling it she moved a bit and her lips brushed against my cheek. For some reason my heart started beating faster but I shook it off.
I was driving but then I realized that I didn't know her address so where would I take her. I parked at the roadside and tried calling Mr Delavega to ask Miss Cruz for Ava's address but his phone was switched off. I tried thinking of where to take her and I knew I couldn't just dump her at a hotel. I was really tired for the day and wanted to rest so I just decided to take her to my place.
I carried her into my apartment, placed her on my bed, took off her shoes and covered her. Luckily she didn't puke on herself otherwise I'd have to see things I wasn't ready to see. It seems that she was really knocked out because she didn't wake up or do what normal drunk people do. She was the calmest drunk person I had ever seen. Since she had taken over my bed, I had to sleep on the couch which was pretty uncomfortable.
It was 6:30 a.m., the time I had to leave for work but I told myself since boss was with the future Mrs Delavega he wouldn't report to work so early so why not take advantage of the situation to get more sleep. By 9:00 a.m., I was fully awake but Ava was still asleep and boy oh boy does she sleep badly. If I were her husband, I'd kick her off of my bed before she did. I feel sorry for her husband already cuz he will have to spend nights kicked off his bed and sleep on the floor. I prepared myself for work quietly so as not to wake her up cuz if she woke up, we'd get into another argument and I'm not ready for that early morning so I better leave since she doesn't want to see my face and I don't want to hear what she has to say either.
My watch was at the bedside table and I had to reach out to get it when she suddenly pulled me by the neck when she was turning and I fell on top of her. I used my arms to create space between us and not to wake her up. "How does she have so much energy, she has the strength that is of no ordinary lady even when she's asleep." I say to myself. But again, the closeness made my heart flutter. What was wrong with me? I was still staring at her facial features closely then she moved slightly and I remembered that I was still on top of her. I quickly got up and got my watch too but when I got up, I felt sharp pain in my back and neck, must be the effect of sleeping on the couch. I was really uncomfortable all night and there she was sleeping like a baby so comfy in my bed. I just couldn't watch that anymore so I left for work hoping she will not make a mountain out of a molehill for sleeping at my house. I actually wished to never see her again but since she's the future Mrs Delavega's friend, I guess my wish can't come true and I'll be seeing more of her.
Tristan's POV
I woke up and went to check on Trish but she was still asleep. I went and sat beside her and moved a strand of hair from her face.
" I wish every morning was like this, where I have you laying in my bed." I whispered to myself. As I was leaving the room, I turned back, "I know you'll have forgotten everything that happened between us last night but it will always be locked in my memory in my heart forever. I love you, Trish." I say to myself and I have no idea how I could have developed feelings for her that fast, I guess I missed the feeling of being loved and loving back.
I went into the kitchen to make breakfast cuz I knew she should be hungry. I brewed coffee and made toast with eggs. I put one plate on the table and was preparing the second one but when I got back, I found Trish chewing the toast stealthily yet I wanted us to eat together. Later she left my house feeling upset and I wanted to stop her and apologize but she had already left by the time I gathered myself. I wondered how she'd get home cuz cabs don't pass this side since it's a secluded area but since Greg was to pick me up, he'd probably find her so I stopped worrying and continued with my breakfast. But would Greg risk being this late to work since he never even really drank last night and doesn't have a hungover. But if he did and took Trish home, I'd let it slide.
