103 - I Want to Forget...

LENA POV

My head is pounding, and I'm beyond nauseated as I stumble into Julius' apartment and try to make my way to my room in peace. I feel sicker than a dog if I'm honest, but more than anything, I want to forget last night ever happened.

What the fuck was wrong with me? Why did I allow Mike to bully me into sleeping with him and that blonde bimbo? I could have lied and said I was on my period, but knowing her raunchy ass, she wouldn't have cared.

"Excuse me! Why are you coming in here looking like complete ass???? I didn't see you walking the corner last night! Where were you? I hope you weren't dipping in that Batman going around these streets!!!!" Julius says rather loudly as I groan and manage to look at him.

"Batman? What the fuck, Jules? We don't live in a movie!"

"Oh you didn't hear? It's the newest! Cocaine and heroine mixed! Don't worry! Julius doesn't do that shit, but you look like you took 20 of them! Get in the tub, angel! Let me get my bath salts and candles!"

"Oh shit, I was gonna take a bath," Tess says as we bump into her, her dreads wrapped in a scarf as I shake my head.

"I already showered. I'm going to bed anyway," I wave my hand as I feel lightheaded and my mouth is dry.

"Tess? I made some breakfast if you're hungry," I hear as I look over and see an Asian girl standing in the hallway wearing a pair of thin short shorts and a white tank, her straight black hair down to her waste as I frown.

"Who are you?"

"Lena, that's rude," Tess says as I glare back at her and throw up my hand.

"You know what? I don't wanna know. Today can't get anymore fucked than it already is!" I say as I twirl around and head towards my room.

"Did I say something wrong?" I hear the stranger ask as I sigh and rub my forehead before turning to look at her.

"No! I just...I am done with asking questions. My head hurts and my stomach...I'm...I'm sorry," I say as I walk back and extend my hand. "I'm Lena."

"Ming, and it's okay. Maybe come and eat. You look like you need it," she says kindly as I stare at her and finally shake my head for I hadn't even waited for the burrito Stef had said she was getting me.

"I look that bad, huh?" I laugh softly as I follow her into the kitchen and the light is so damn bright, I instantly wanna run, but I don't as I dig for my shades in my purse and slide them on my face.

"Not used to doing drugs, huh," Ming says as she hands me a plate of eggs, bacon and toast before grabbing me some hot tea.

"I told you! You look like ass, baby! Why is Warbuck's making you do drugs like that???? You make millions or what?" Julius asks in exasperation as I sigh and sip my tea.

"He didn't make me do shit, Julius, and can you keep it down, please! You're so damn loud!" I glare at him as he leans in and looks closer.

"God! You have giant bags under your eyes! Do you have the flu???? Let me get my cucumber peel, baby!" he waddles over to the fridge as I shake my head and take a tiny bite of bacon.

"What is up with you, Len? You're never this hung over," Tess asks as I look at her. "And you don't do drugs."

"It was just a long night with a client. That's all. I'd like to forget it. Thanks." I snap rubbing my head as Ming pours me some coffee and Julius stares hard at me.

"Mm." He says as Tess shakes her head at him and he leaves it be for now. Thank GOD because I was just trying to forget it altogether, but I was sick as a fucking ass dog.
