broken trust | k. o'reilly [ON HOLD]

[ twenty three ]

Kyla and I have lunch together the following day. I'm super jetlagged and am exhausted but I make it through lunch okay. I will admit that after a little bit of throwing up because morning sickness doesn't just hit in the morning, I do take a nap because I'm tired. Kyle went out with Justin and the guys. He doesn't come back until past dinnertime. I slept past dinnertime so we just skip to dessert.

The wedding is Saturday with the ceremony starting at two on a grassed area by the beach and the reception at four in the ballroom. I begin getting ready at noon. Kyle sleeps as I shower. I get out and towel dry my hair as much as I can before I blow dry and curl it. I sit in the bathroom on the counter as I do my hair and eventually my makeup.

Kyle walks into the room and sees me sitting on the counter with a robe on. My hair is done and I'm doing my makeup at this point. He blinks at me before he says, "Well, good afternoon to you too. Didn't even wake me up to shower with you?"

I laugh and say, "Nope. We need to be on time, Kyle. No showering together today."

"I better be able to hug and kiss you," Kyle says, turning the shower on and stripping out of his pajamas.

As I apply some highlight, I say, "Maybe you'll get to hold my hand. I know how you get at weddings, Kyle. You get so bored then you get all touchy-feely with me, especially after a few drinks."

Kyle gets into the shower and says, "Well, I know we'll both be drinking tonight so you better not get touchy-feely with me either."

I hop off the counter and say, "I'm not drinking tonight."

I'm putting away my makeup when Kyle says, "You didn't drink the last time we went out either. What's going on with you?"

"Nothing," I say. "I'm just cutting back on how much drinking I do."

He finishes up in the shower and he says, "You haven't drunk in two weeks when you drank every weekend since you signed with NXT."

I look over at him as he wraps a towel around his waist. "Exactly," I say. "I need to focus on resting up my toe."

Kyle blinks at me as he says, "You plan on wearing a pair of heels all day long with your toe but you won't go out for a few hours to drink. Somethings not adding up."

With a sigh, I say, "I'm probably going to be sitting all day. Maybe a dance or two but besides that, I'm going to be sitting down. Why are you reading so much into this?"

"What are you hiding from me?" Kyle asks, looking at me. "Trust goes both ways, Rylee."

I say, "I'm not hiding anything from you, Kyle. Are you kidding me? You want to talk to me about trust? Do you really want to go there? What have I ever done to make you lose any trust in me?"

He rubs his face and says, "I'm sorry. You haven't done anything. I am probably just reading too much into it. It's just unlike you to stop doing something so suddenly or without warning." I sigh and look at him.

"I'm going to get my dress on," I say. "We can continue this conversation later, okay? Today's about Kyla and Justin, and our issues will not get in the way."

Kyle nods and I walk into the bedroom. I let out a shaky sigh as I try to keep myself from running back into the bathroom and throwing up. Once I am successful in making sure I don't throw up again, I take off the robe and slip on the dress.

The dress I'm wearing is a simple, mermaid style black dress. The sleeves are off the shoulder and the neck dips down a little bit, revealing a very small amount of cleavage. I dress up the gown by adding a silver necklace with matching earrings.
