To fly you only need two wheels

Desaster before dessert

*Kariss*

"Well, here you are at last. Robby and I have been waiting for you forever," Kyra gasped.

I took a deep breath as Leo and Marc walked past me. Leo was still patting me on the back encouragingly.

"No one asked you to wait," I grumbled half aloud. Marc had a hard time stifling a laugh.

"I couldn't leave my best friend alone after all," she said, wrapping her arm around Robert.

I hated it when she did that. She was way too touchy with him in the first place. But every time I brought it up, Rob waved it off. He wasn't interested in her. And as much as I believed him, I could see how much she was into him. And it pissed me off that he just didn't set any boundaries for her. It had always been that way.

The two of them had been friends long before we got together, and I hadn't wanted to get between them at first, of course. After all, who wanted a girlfriend who told you who you could meet with and who you couldn't?

So I had never said anything when she suddenly showed up at his apartment. I hadn't said anything when she had come along to his family's house, and I hadn't said anything when she had acted up beyond belief. I hadn't said anything, but I couldn't by now. I couldn't keep shutting up when she interfered in my relationship.

"I'd like to have my boyfriend to myself for a while now though," I grumbled.

"Oh Robby, you're not going to leave me alone now, are you?" she batted her eyelashes and I knew he would weaken. He always did.

"Well, we can all go out to dinner and hang out some more. We've got the whole night to ourselves, after all." he said, Kyra grinning smugly, but it didn't suit me at all.

"I just wanted to have a quick dinner because I have to get up early again tomorrow. We have a lot of meetings and..."

"Well, then we can go out alone for a bit, Robby. Then you won't disturb your girlfriend," Kyra hooked into him, "What do you think?"

"You're serious?", I asked, now crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"It's just one night," Rob said and I shook my head.

"Go ahead, then. Go have dinner by yourself. I'm going back to the hotel.", I really had to hold back the tears now.

"Baby...", Rob said and came after me as I made my way to the cabs "Baby, wait up.", he grabbed my hand.

"No. Go ahead and ride with your best friend. If she's that much more important to you. I was just really looking forward to seeing you.", I panted and pulled my hand away from him.

"Don't be mad baby. I just don't want Kyra to be bored.", he took my face in his hands and kissed me "And I'll be back with you later, so we can...", he growled against my lips.

I didn't answer. I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't. I loved him and hated him for wrapping me around his finger like that and making me accept that he preferred his best friend right now.

"I love you, baby." he whispered, then let go of my face and ran back to Kyra.

I stood still for a moment, looking after the two of them, before finally getting into one of the cabs to go back to the hotel.

I closed my eyes and let myself sink against the headrest. It felt like shit.

And without meaning to, I started crying. I just felt like...

I couldn't even put it into words.

I let myself feel it and only wiped the tears from my eyes when I reached the hotel. I just wanted to sleep.
