That One Night

- Ⅴ -

I woke up with a banging hangover.AGAIN!"Wake up.After that many shots,I think you deserve a nice cup of coffee."I raised my hand."I can't get up!Don't make me get up!What coffee?!"

Viktor put the cup of coffee to my night stand so I got up."You are the best."The door bell rang and I asked Viktor to answer."CORDELIA!WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY?!"

I freaked out and jumped out of the bed.When did I wear my pjs?!Whatever."Damien?!"I took Viktor out of his hand and saw Roman at the door.

I turned back to Damien."Unlike you,my friends visit when they come out of the FUCKING COUNTRY!"I turned to Viktor."If you want,you can leave.But not because he said so!"

"I'll pick you up in two hours for brunch if you are down for it?""I'm down."Viktor left and I slapped Damien."Whoa!"Roman seemed to enjoy that.

"Be the bastard you are and leave!"I closed the door to his face and turned back to Damien."YOU DON'T GET TO SLAM MY FRIENDS TO THE WALL!YOU HEAR ME?!"

"You need to have new friends then!""New friends?You're just saying this because he is a guy!"He stepped forward."And?""Fuck off,Damien."

"You are my little sister!""For you to protect your little sister,you need to have a sister that you love.Since you clearly don't fucking love me,you don't get to be overprotective with me."

I opened the door and pushed him out of the penthouse."All you could've done was to pick me up.I would know that you cared just a bit.A penthouse and a car is not the way to show you care!"

"I'M DOING WHAT I CAN!""IF I HUGGED YOU,YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HUG ME BACK,DAMIEN!SO LEAVE ME ALONE!"Tears running down,I watched him get in that elevator.

The same elevator that Zane got out of."Why are you here?""To see Co-"His gaze found me."Cordelia?!What the-""You have a date in two hou-"

"HE IS MY FRIEND!AFTER ALL I SAID TO YOU,THIS IS WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT?!FUCK YOU,DAMIEN!"Damien left and I was left alone with Zane in the hall.

"You shouldn't have witnessed that,Zane.What are you doing here?""I thought I could come by and pick you up.We could go to the gym or hang out.What was that anyways?"

"Come in.Let's not talk in the hall way."I closed the door behind him."Could you give me like...Half an hour?"He nodded.I took a shower and cried freely through it.

I changed and dried my hair."I know I said half an hour but I had to get ready.""Hey,it's ok.Take your time.You clearly need it."I sat in front of him."I came a few days ago."

"Yeah,I know.""I was gone for ten years and he didn't even come to the airport to pick me up.He sent me his driver.Now,he came to see me.My friend from Russia was here."

"Just friend?"I nodded."Then I found him choking my friend at the wall he slammed him to.I lost it.I sent my friend away and I'm even more convinced that Damien doesn't love me anymore."

"He's your brother,I'm sure he loves you.""One can only hope."I sighed."Anyways.I'm convinced.If he does love me,I hope that he finds a way to prove me wrong."

"He will.In the mean time,I was wondering if you'd like to go out."I smiled."I wish.But my friend is going back tomorrow.I'm not going to Russia for a long time,so...I should be with him."

"O-O-Ok.That's understandable.Tomorrow?"I nodded."Sure.But I have to tell you.I have a hair appointment to dye my hair back to its original color."

"You're not brunette?!""Nope!My hair is actually black.We can meet after that.What do you say?"He nodded with a smile."Well,my friend did make coffee,you want a mug?"

We drank coffee as we waited for Viktor to pick me up.Then Viktor called."I'm downstairs.""Got it,Vik.See you in a few."We hung up and I turned to Zane.

"Thanks for staying around,really.""Don't worry about it.I should probably stop by Roman.He said he had a hole on his wall."I almost spit out the coffee in my mouth.

"Yeah,that'd be the wall seperating our bedrooms.He punched through it for some reason,the other night."He asked for my keys in case they need to come to my side of the wall.

"Sure.I think I have some spare that I took from Marcel.Here."I handed him my keys."I should go.Good luck dealing with that prick,Zane."He smiled."He's not that bad.His ex fucked him up."

"I don't care,Zane.I really don't."I left the building looking like a true bad bitch!

(imagine the boots with heels!thx<3)

Viktor took me to a cute little place.We had breakfast and I filled him in on what happened after he left."I know he's your brother and everything but...Uncool,dude!Uncool!"

"It's whatever at this point,Vik.Really,not my problem.It is on him.I love him throughout these years,not my fault if he can't do the same with me!"

"You are so right.But I have to say,your brother is one powerful guy.He built an empire."I scoffed."He took over the family business,Vik.What empire are you fucking talking about?"

"Oh,you don't know?Holy shit!I didn't know that you didn't know!I should drop you back."I made him sit back down."What empire,Viktor?!"

He got me by the hand and dragged me into the car."VIKTOR!I WILL CALL THE COPS AND TELL THEM YOU ARE ABDUCTING ME IF YOU DON'T STOP THE GODDAMN CAR!"

He kept driving and then we stopped by the penthouse."Go home!""NO!"

"Look,I shouldn't even be friends with you.At first,I thought I could use you but then you turned out to be an innocent person.So,I befriended you but I didn't think he would lie to you for this long!"

"USING ME?!FUCK YOU,VIKTOR!FUCK YOU!"I got out of the car and came to the penthouse."THAT BASTARD!HOW DID HE THINK HE COULD USE ME?!"

Right when I came to my room,the door bell rang."VIKTOR IF THAT'S YOU,I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KI-"I calmed down."Oh,hi Zane."

"What the hell was that?""Oh,that?Nothing.Since you are here,question.What empire did my big brother rose that my friend Viktor thinks he is so powerful?!"

"I don't think he was talking about your brother.Maybe he mixed him up with someone.""Not bloodly likely if he got to know me to use me to begin with!"

"Viktor went too far.Telling you all that...I need to leave.I'll pick you up tomorrow!"He went into the elevator."BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME I WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU AFTER TODAY!"

I was going to slam the door but Roman stopped it."You are a drama magnet.What the hell is your problem,Remington?!""Said that to my brother once,maybe we are alike."

Fucker.
