She woke up with a massive, head-breaking hangover. She found an advil and a glass of water on her bedside table. Then thats when the memories of last night flashed back.
Her kissing a random guy at the bar and telling Calum all about it. She remembered Calum removing her boots and pulling the duvet over her. Then Michael.
"Shit." She immediately grabbed her purse, dig her phone and called Michael. There is still no answer and even he is a big boy now, she's still worried as heck.

She pressed send and quickly swallowed the pill. She grabbed her phone again, she forgot to thank Calum for last night. She could've turn into an ice statue if it weren't for him.
To: Calum Crood
thx for last night sorry im such a bother lol i owe u a pizza thanks again sososo much x
She got up and showered, her mouth feels like a carpet. She is late for work, and Olivia never mind lates but she doesn't want to give Olivia that impression, she couldnt afford to lose her job, not now.
Despite of being late, she bought McNuggets and decided to drop by in his house. She just felt horrible for making him come and get her drunk ass home at 2 in the morning.
She knocked three times, but there's no answer, so assuming she was his friend already and the door is opened, she got in.
"Cal?" She called out there's still no answer. She made her way to his room, maybe he's still asleep.
"Calu- oh shit!" She quickly closed the door, processing what she just saw. He was having.. An intercourse to put it nicely. Her face turned scarlet. "Shit shit shit." She mumbled, putting the nuggets on his table and started storming out of his apartment. That was so embarrassing.
"Fray wait!" Calum called out as he yanked the t-shirt aboved his head. The girl followed him outside wearing nothing but his t-shirt.
"Maddie?" She stared at her, obviously in shock.
"Hi Fray, can you please tell Olivia I wont be going to work today? Thanks." She winked at Calum and she disappeared in his room again, leaving Fray in complete confusion, but she managed to nod.
Calum ran his hand on his hair making it more mussy as it appears. "I can explain."
"No that's fine, it's my fault. You don't have anything to explain. I-uh, just dropped by to bring those, as a thanksgiving." She pointed at the nuggets laying on his table and awkwardly chuckled. Is she really a cockblock?
He turned around to see what she is pointing, "Thanks." He scratched the back of his neck, he doesn't know what to do, so he was stuck there standing.
"So, heartemoji x10 is Maddie huh?" She chuckled, to avoid the awkwardness surrounding them. She stuffed her hands on her pockets to make it seem that it's cool.
"Yeah," He kept looking everywhere, he can't look at her eyes directly.
"Congrats, on whatever you have, you two." She stated, giving him a reassuring smile. "But I better be going I am already running late, so." She gave him a small wave, exiting his apartment.

Fuck.
I thought this will relieve my confusion towards my feelings over her but it just got worse. I am such a dumbass, now she's thinking that Maddie and I are dating. If I denied it, she'll absolutely get upset, since Maddie is her friend and I screwed her over.
I just needed to vent up, that's why I called her. I think Maddie knows that we are not a thing, unless she assumes, then it will be an absolute mess.
Instead of enlightenment, bafflement crowded my head.
"Hey, ready for round two?" Maddie peeked out of my room, wearing my shirt and a smug. I admit, she looked hot. So hot, with my shirt clinging loosely on her body.
Fuck. I've got problems.
"Just go home Mads." I scratched my eyes in frustration. Still thinking how I can sort this out.
"What? I missed my work today so I can spend more time with you? Now youre telling me to go home?" There are the cons, she's so whiney and dictative.
"Then go to work! It's not even that late yet." I said a little bit loud, so she'll stop being annoying. "And take off my shirt, please." It will smell unmanly, like those perfumes being sold in Victoria's Secret. And I dont want that.
"Fine. Just don't call me again when you're asking for it." She grumbled, going in my room again and leaving fully dressed- with her own clothes, thankfully, and slamming the door really loudly, not saying any word.
I got dressed and went to the usual place I always go in times of distress, doing what I do. To smoke.

There's a weird mix of emotions going on my body right now. Like I want to cry but something held my tear ducts back, telling it, that it is a stupid decision to cry.
"Hey Olivia, Maddie's not going to work today." Olivia just nodded and went back to reading a thick book about teeth.
My phone beeped silently,

To: Mikey Mouse

I quickly stuffed my phone back in my purse before Olivia notices, she maybe not that strict but her mood swings are sometimes horrible.
I shut my mind off so I can focus on what am I physically doing. Stacking books, checking cards and occasionally answering calls for Olivia.
•••
My shift today ended quickly, and I am slightly tired, probably this is still the effect of last night's activity. But atleast, I am going home.
I swung the door of the bricked establishment, only to find Calum leaning on it's walls, an unlit cigar stuck between his fingers. I will lie if I said he doesn't even look attractive at this point.
"I think you owe me a pizza." Unlike before, staring at my eyes.
I stared back at him, and nodded. "I thought the nuggets are enough." I joked following his lead to who knows where.
