Love's a Weird Thing

Messy

"GET OUT I NEVER WANNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!" Nikki screams as she shoves Matt out of her house.
"Nikki...baby...let me explain please..." Matt pleads.

"Explain what exactly! How you have been cheating on me in America for the past 6 months. I think that's pretty self-explanatory. Don't you?" She snaps as she slamming the door in his face.

She leans back on her door, slides down it, putting her face in her knees and balls her eyes out. How could she have been so stupid?

"Baby please. Let me in. I can explain." Matt whines, banging her door.
"I said fuck off!" Nikki cries back, through her knees.

She lifts her face from her knees that were soaked from tears and wipes her mascara tears away. She sniffs and gets up.

She stumbles up the stairs, stiffling her tears, goes into her bedroom and collapses on her bed. She just wanted the day to be over but she also wanted to lose herself in someone. Just some meaningless sex to take the pain away.

She picks up her phone and texts the one person she knows will help her in her hour of need: Jack.

"Hey want to go out and get drunk." she texts.
She puts her phone on her chest, waiting for his response and stares blankly at the ceiling.

Her phone buzzes on her chest and she looks up at it. It was a message from Jack.
"Sure 7pm sound good for you?" he texts back.
"Sounds great." She responds
"I'll pick you up." He replies back.
She smiles, sits up from her bed and goes into her en suite to shower.

The warm water poured down her petite body as she let out a huge sigh and threw her head back in sweet relief. Steam flew out the shower and onto the mirror causing it to go foggy. She starts washing her hair and body, rinsing it off and steps out the shower. She wraps herself in her towel, brushes her teeth then looks down at her phone to see a message from Jack.

"Hey I'm on my way." it read.
"Shit!" She exclaims through her toothbrush. It was 7pm already, she had lost track of time.
"Okay." She quickly texts back.

Nikki rushes getting dressed. She throws on a low cut, knee length dress over her matching red bra and thong set for easy access. She quickly dries her brunette hair, leaving it down as she couldn't be bothered to put it up. She quickly grabs her purse and boot heals, runs downstairs and slumps on her sofa waiting for Jack. She sighs a breath of relief.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Nikki strolls to the door and opens it.
"Hey. You ready to go? Taxi is waiting." Jack smiles, softly.
"Yeah. Lemme just grab my purse." Nikki chuckles, grabbing her purse from the hook and locking her door.

At the pub

"You know I've always loved you, Hodgson!" Nikki chuckles, drunkly.
"That's the drink talking Niks, you're drunk." Jack says, sternly, tryna not to laugh at how drunk she is.

"I'm not that drunk. I've only had one beer!" She snaps, sounding hurt, "And a couple of glasses of wine..." She mumbles.
"Jeez, sorry Nikki. I love you too and I have for years but you're with Matt and I don't wanna hurt you..." His voice starts to trail off.

"Actually Jack..." Nikki sighs, "Matt and I broke up this morning. He cheated on me in America..." She chokes on her words, blinking back her tears that were forming.

"God. I'm so sorry, Nikki. I had no idea. He's a pig." Jack scoffs.
"He is a pig." She giggles, "Anyways, I want to forget about him. No tears over him anymore." She claps her hands.
"Shots?" She questions.
Jack nods and goes to order the shots.

They get a taxi back to Nikki's place, thanks the driver and walks to Nikki's front door.
