The Lust Of Love

Meeting Fiona The HORSE

Sophie then took a deep breath and calmly approached the sink next to her and began soaping her hands. Maybe all that alcohol wasn't the best idea "Sophie said". My stomach was being weird and grumbling violently and I felt woozy and disoriented under the harsh fluorescent lighting. I watched in silence as Fiona reapplied berry-red lipstick to her perfect pout.

She rinsed the suds from her hands and saw her own reflection in the mirror. Beside to Fiona's perfectly put-together appearance I was pale and . . . drunk looking.

Just great.

"It it's a nice event, isn't it?" I attempted to be nice , breaking the stony silence between us in the toilet .

She shrugged in a bit*hy way , closing her tube of lipstick and dropping it inside her tiny purse. "The horse then said" ."I was surprised to see you here, actually. Your Boyfriend hadn't said anything about you two being back together."

Her words stung and burns , She couldn't lie. My boyfriend should have told her to go to hell and that I was the love of his life". "Said Sophie in her head" Why hadn't he? While She was still quiet and speechless, Fiona turned to face her. She was like GOD! , where the hell was Ellie?

"The Horse said in a Bit*hy way" . "Enjoy him now while you can." Her hand lovingly caressed her belly bump . "We're going to be a family soon. We'll have a forever connection. What will you have? Your memories of a great shag and fuckery ?"Said Her .

She swallowed the dry of saliva lump in her throat, fighting back the tears , anger and curse words She wanted to let rip. She then opened her mouth, my drunken brain struggling to give voice to the words swirling in my brain.

"The Horse then said" ."He's stuck by me for five years. Don't forget that sweetie. I would be really careful if I were you," she warned, with the poisonous words that kills Sophie inside deeply that comes out from her voice.

Then Ellie emerged from the stall just then, standing tall beside her after hearing what The Horse said . *Ellie then Said to her" . "What Sophie and her boyfriend have is none of your damn business, you old witch. Just worry about yourself." Ellie's tone was careful, measured, and she was thankful for her clear, level head. But her voice held a hint of warning, too, and Sophie knew that she could go from civilized to bitch in two seconds flat.

Fiona looked from Ellie back to Sophie and let out a short laugh. "Enjoy yourselves while it lasts, girls." She placed the little purse strap over her wrist and walked out from the restroom without a backward glance.

She learned that being highly intoxicated and emotionally drained from her facedown with Fiona didn't mix well. When both of them found the me and Brennan again, I saw her mouth tugged down in a frown and I looped an arm around her waist. "Come on, let's get you home babe." I Said .

She nodded a little and let me guide her to the exit, hoping that Fiona was somewhere nearby watching my arms encircle her .

Then the hiccups hit her in the limo ride back.I watched her with a worried expression and Ellie handed her a bottle of water from the limo minibar while Brennan sat slumped in the seat next to Me.

"Here, sweetie, drink this Ellie Said". Ellie uncapped the bottle and urged Sophie to take a sip. While I was looking at Her.

The water should have been refreshing for her , but her belly was turning like crazy and her head was spinning from facing the wrong direction in the limo. She then finally took a small sip and returned the bottle. I let her eyes slip closed and rested her head back against my thighs.

The three of us continued a low tone conversation beside her, and I saw her tried to focus on what was being said since She was pretty sure that we were discussing about her.

Out of the Blue" . "Your agent is a f**king bitch," Ellie snapped on me .

"Ellie said" trust me ,You don't know her like I do." She said to me.

"Yeah, right I replied" . Ellie also said that she was helping Sophie to argue with that Horse bit*h when she was in the restroom just now telling Sophie that she was going to win me back."

Brennan cleared his throat loudly but I remained quiet. She wanted me to argue, to shout and curse and swear that it was never going to happen. But my silence permeated the air, making her stomach turn in little weird .

"Ellie then Said"."You think this is healthy for her? Being with you? Having to deal with this shit?" Ellie whispered coarsely to me.

"I don't know," I answered.

I see that My girlfriend looks like she wanted to argue with us, to tell us that she is fine. Or that She would be once that this damn limo stopped spinning because of her being drunk . It was like a magic-carpet ride from hell. But She stayed quiet, trying to piece together their mumbled and murmured phrases.

I then said under my breath. "I'm not giving her up. As long as she wants me, I'm here."

She heard me instruct the driver to bring us home first then drop off Ellie and Brennan after. She then was hoping that they would be okay alone together. For some reason they mixed about as well as oil and water. But She didn't have time to worry about that. My attention was focused on praying that the contents of my stomach would stay put. By the time the limo rolled to a stop in front of My building, She lost the use of her legs. Well, shit.

I then lifted her in my arms and carried her. When I reached my apartment, I brought her inside and set her down on the couch then removed her shoes. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked her .

She nodded, though She wasn't entirely sure. God, why did I drink so much? "She asked herself.

"I'll go get you a glass of water and some pain reliever," I said.

My words barely registered because the second I was out of the living room She was on her feet, running for the bathroom. The liquor in her stomach churned violently and just as the toilet came into my sight She lost it, sinking to her knees and getting sick.

Ew. I hated throwing up "she Said. The coughing, the smell, the violent way her stomach kept convulsing long after She emptied it.

After She had thoroughly expelled everything from her system, She collapsed onto the floor in a heap. It was only then that She noticed I was beside her . Shit. I pushed the hair back from her face. She tried to focus on my perfect face but it was too blurry. In her eyes the bathroom was tipping and spinning rather annoyingly. She was very aware of my arms coming around her and lifting her off the floor before the world went black as she fell asleep.
