Toxic Mistress

17

Its been 10 days and I haven't heard from Chris not once, I can't even blame him really. Eric told me he gave Rachel the divorce papers and she didn't take it well at all which explains why she's called in sick for the last 3 days. Honestly I felt like shit, this whole thing was a mess and finally I just needed to vent...

"So Chris knows about James, James knows about Chris and Eric knows about...no one " Taylor stared at me with her mouth wide open which was my initial reaction.

"Oh my god Nic" I put my head in my hands "I know"
"Well how did it go with James I mean....he didn't beat your ass" I shook my head "He was pissed but he knew I didn't love them like I loved him and he mad fucked me" she looked at me confused "You wouldn't understand" she nodded "So now what?" I sighed "He said I need to figure out what I want as soon as possible" I said sipping my wine "So he's giving you a choice?" I couldn't contain my laughter choking on my wine while Taylor looked at me confused "There's no choice with James, even if I decided to not be with him he wouldn't accept that"
"But you want to be with him" I nodded "and Chris, I like Chris a lot" I thought about it "and Eric" she shook her head looking at me.

"Wow Nicole, you really made a mess of things" I smiled at her "Thank you for that dear friend of mine" I rolled my eyes "So what are you gonna do?" I laughed again "Get a stronger drink" I said getting up and going to my alcohol cabinet and bringing out the tequila and pouring it in a glass "Are you gonna tell Eric?" I threw back the shot of tequila letting it burn my throat "absolutely not Taylor, he'd be so pissed and I don't know how he would react to James or Chris but it's not gonna be pretty and I'm not gonna be responsible for anyone else going to jail...or hospital" I took another shot of tequila because this was all too much for me.

"You sure you don't want a shot?" She shook her head just as someone knocked on the door, I groaned as she got up "Whoever it is I'm not here" I heard some arguing after I heard the door open and made my way towards the noise regretfully, I would have thought this week couldn't get any worse but boy was I mistaken "Clarissa what the hell are you doing here?" I threw my head back annoyed "Nicole we need to talk"
"You are catching me on the worst day possible and I don't have enough patiences to deal with you....or Asia got damn it" I groaned seeing Asia walk in "Y'all need to leave"
"Okay we'll leave but I would think that you would like to know that your so called best friend is fucking our dad" I looked down at my shot glass then the liquor bottle and put it down figuring I probably had two many drinks, I sighed not even feeling like dealing with anything else especially an obvious lie "This is exactly why I don't like being around y'all, you lie too much" I was one to talk but they didn't know that.

"Who told you this?" I said entertaining the thought "We saw" I scoffed "I don't know what your smoking but Taylor would never do something like that" I looked towards Taylor and she didn't look amused or mad but she looked worried which confused me "Don't say that yet little sister" Clarissa had a sinister smile on her face as she pulled out her phone and turned it around to show me something.

It was a picture of Taylor and my sorry ass dad...kissing each other out in public .

"Mm" was all I could say as I looked at Taylor who looked like she was about to piss on herself "We were...we were gonna tell you Nic" I chuckled grabbing the bottle of tequila off the table "Tell me what Taylor?"
"Can you just stop drinking for a second?!" She tried to grab my bottle "Trust me, your gonna want me to be as drunk as much as  possible so you have a fair chance of getting away when I beat your ass" she backed away from and looked hesitant "It was an accident I swear I never meant to fall in love " I threw my head back and laughed "love?....How long have you been fucking my dad Taylor?" I was so tired of the nervous look on her face "okay stop the shaking and the acting, acting like your nervous and the hesitation because if you were bold enough to fuck my dad then have this conversation with me like the backstabbing bitch you are" I could see that I pissed her off which was good and definitely the goal "2 years and a half " she said and I nodded "That's all I needed to know" I took another drink of my tequila as everyone stared at me and anticipated my next move.
