I have been pacing through the kitchen and lounge, trying to decide what the hell to do.
I was completely screwed with whatever i decided. Whatever way Rhea was going to find out about it, I was screwed.
One way just made sure she heard it from me and not someone else.
God, I was so stupid.
I grabbed my phone, writing out and then erasing a message.
Should I message Carmelo and say it was a mistake? I cringed, remembering his reply. Oh, god... he completely took that wrong.
I started writing out a message to Carmelo, and eventually hitting send.
Florence: That was honestly not meant for you. I'm sorry.
My heart raced as I waited for a reply.
Carmelo: Whatever you say 🤫
No...
Florence: I am serious, it really was an accident.
He didn't reply after that, but Rhea sent me a follow up message.
Bottom 💗: Flo, you alright?
Florence: I'm ok. But can you call me? x
As I sent it, I had my face in my hands.
Then she rang me.
I didn't answer answer it for a while, just let it ring, trying to decide how to go about this.
Damn.
"Hello." I answered.
"Hey, baby. Is everything alright?" She asked kindly. Very sweetly and nicely. That was going to chance very quickly.
I debated whether or not I should even tell her while she's in the same building as Carmelo. It would be safer for him and everyone if she wasn't.
"I'm not great actually." I forced myself to tell her.
"Why? What's wrong?" Rhea quickly asked. "You're worrying me." She added.
I cleared my throat. "It's actually kind of funny... um, before I was-"
Chattering came through the phone and I could hear someone talking to Rhea. I think it was Dom, but I couldn't make out what he was saying.
"I'm so sorry, Flo. I've gotta go." Rhea said. "You're going to be alright until the end of the show?"
Oh. "Yeah." I replied.
"Are you sure? I'll leave if you-"
"No, Rhea. It's ok." I cut her off, insisting she go prep for the show starting soon.
She hung up and I went back to pacing the room.
An hour before the show was to start, I worked up the courage to call Carmelo and hope he answered.
Of course he didn't.
So I tried Dom, hoping he would and i don't know, he could help me.
He answered. "Hey! Everything alright?" He asked. "Rhea is getting dressed, I think. Do you need her?"
I shook my head even though he couldn't see me. I was stressed as hell. "No, no, no. Please. I- if you're not busy, I actually need some advice."
"Yeah, what is it?" He asked curiously.
I cleared my throat. "I may have accidentally, mistakenly sent a provocative photo to Carmelo Hayes."
Dom scoffed. "You what?!" He nearly shouted. "How the fuck did-"
