How To Confuse Vodka With Water

After the photoshoot, Bobby accompanies (Y/N) to a nearby candy store to buy chocolates, and the others go back to the hotel to change. The dress she's wearing was specifically designed for her body by her great friend YSL, but she still feels uncomfortable in it.

-It was nice to meet your fiance- Robert tells her as she fills two plastic bags with all kinds of truffles-. Although I expected you to be happier, now that you finally found him.

-Yeah- she walks to the counter-. The fantasy's gone, some pretty shitty stuff came to surface, and we're no longer together. Oh, well, what can I do, right?

She pays as Bobby stares at her, worried. He had never seen her in that mood, let's not talk about the fact she never cursed before him.

-Sorry to hear that, are you alright?

-Absolutely!- they leave the store-. It's not like I just wasted six years of my life looking for a man that doesn't love me.

-I thought he went lost in 1960.

-Oh, ja - she had forgotten the circumstances-. Whatever. Three, six, ten years; what's the difference?

They enter The Adolphus, and sit in the Century Room. (Y/N) just stuffs as much chocolate as she can in her mouth.

-So, if you two are not a thing any longer, does that mean I get a...

-Are you still married?- (Y/N) interrupts him.

-Yeah.

-Then no.

-I thought that.

Bobby stays silent after that, watching her eat truffle after truffle, nonstop. After ten minutes, Jane, Pattie, and Eve reunite with them.

-Hey, lads- they all sit-. We're going on a tour around the city, wanna come? Klaus can come!

-We don't mention that name anymore- Bobby is quick to say-. They broke up.

-What!?

-You're telling me you spent millions of dollars looking for a man for three years... And as soon as you see him, you break up?- Eve can't believe it.

-I really don't want to talk about that now.

-Well, then that's a better reason to go out!- Pattie tries to cheer her-. Come on!

-No thanks- (Y/N) doesn't even turn to see her.

-So, what?- Jane says-. You are just going to stay here all day and eat your weight in chocolates?

(Y/N) fakes she's thinking about it.

-Yeah, probably- (Y/N) takes a fist of truffles and puts them in her mouth-. Sounds like a fucking great plan, Jane.

-Wow, you're really mad- Eve's surprise to hear her talking so bitterly.

-I...- she sighs-. I just need time to process it, okay? I'm sorry if I was rude.

-It's okay- Jane pats her on the back-. We'll go on the tour and you can stay here, alright? And then, when we come back, we talk about it.

(Y/N) just nods.

-You coming, Mr. Kennedy?- Pattie asks him.

-No, I've to go back home or my wife will kill me- he stands up and kisses (Y/N) on the forehead-. Take care of yourself, okay? And please, answer our calls.

-Yes, sir.

They all leave and when (Y/N) is sure they won't come back, she goes to change to her normal attire and then walks to the nearest liquor store.
