The Affair

Chapter 12

Kristen

"Has he been texting you?"

"Yes."

"Damn, he must be pretty into you."

"He shouldn't be, Zoey. He's married to my sister."

"How do you feel about him?"

"I can't really even say."

"Well, if he asked to go on a date, would you say yes?"

"I don't know, I can't do that to Tess."

Zoey rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. We both know he is into you, Kris."

"Maybe, but it shouldn't matter."

"But what if he asked to go on a date?"

"I can't. It would crush my sister, besides... I don't cheat. Remember?"

"Yeah. We should go out tonight."

"For what?"

"To get white girl wasted."

I laughed. "I haven't gotten drunk in a while."

"Well, that is about to change tonight."

"Alright. I suppose we can get a few."

"Good. Dress nice."

"You mean slutty?"

Zoey smirked. "Yes. You can pick something from my closet."

"I am really happy you've let me crash at your place."

"Of course! My boyfriend's brother owns this complex, he spoke to him about an open apartment, and he said there was one next to ours."

"How much?"

"Would usually be 2,500 but he said he would charge 1,100."

"That's not necessary, I can afford it."

Zoey shook her head. "You guys have known each other for a while and he has insisted upon it."

"Well, thanks."

"Will you accept the offer? It is fully furnished, and the furniture is brand new."

"I will."

"Yay! You'll be my permanent roommate now!"

"When did he say he would be available?"

"Next week. They are finishing up some things."

"Sounds great!"

Zoey grabbed a short skirt and a low-cut crop top and handed it to me. "You'll look hot."

By the time we got to the club, it was 9:30 and it was jam packed. "Let's get wasted, shall we?"

"Yes."

After I finished my fourth drink, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and raised my eyebrows when I saw him. "Brett?"

"Hi."

"What are you doing here?"

He smirked and sat next to me, a beer already in his hand. "I've been here for an hour with my buddies but the moment I saw you, I had to come say hi."

"I thought you guys were staying in Hawaii until next week."

Brett shook his head. "So did I, but we both know how Tess is."

"Well, hi then I guess. Where's Tess?"

"She went to bed early, I needed to get out of the house."

"You and me both."

Before I knew it, he placed my glass on the counter and grabbed my hand, leading me near the VIP section, showing his ID to a security guard. "Where are we going?"

He smiled. "We are having some alone time, Kristen."
