Against All Odds (spin-off of The Three Queen Bees and Me)

Chapter 48- Confession

   "I'm hungry." I whine in the back seat of Oliver's car.

   "I told you I would give you food when we get to my place." Oliver scolds me like a little kid making me pout.

    "What happened to you?" He asks after a couple minutes of complete silence.

   "Women is what happened to me. Maybe I should consider dating more men." I rant as Oliver's laughter rings out in the car.

    "Relationships in general are complicated." Oliver parts his wisdom on me making me roll my eye's.

       "Not anymore." I tell him reaching in the front seat trying to change the music station.

   He swats my hand away making me swat back at him. I wasn't going down without a fight.

   "Axial." Oliver scolds me.

   "Oliver." I mock his voice only for me to end up laughing instead.

    Oliver shuts up for the rest of the car ride after that.

    "What is this abomination?" I take my spoon poking at the bowl of what resembles vomit.

    "It's oatmeal." Oliver casually says sitting next to me at his kitchen table.

   "It's awful." I state refusing to eat it.

    "How do you know unless you try?" Oliver asks taking a bite of his oatmeal which makes me want to throw up.

    Actually I really need to throw up right now.

    I quickly get up from my chair and rush to his bathroom before closing the door.

    I bend over the toilet as I hurl. Once I'm done throwing up more seems to want to come up.  I stay near the toilet for two hours feeling like death itself.

      Opening the bathroom door I peek my head out to make sure Oliver isn't near.

    Oliver is sitting on his floor near the bathroom probably waiting on me to open up. I feel guilty for him having to deal with all my shit.

     "Here you go." Oliver says handing me a tooth brush and tooth paste.

    "You are such an ass." I jokingly tease him finally earning a smile from him.

   "At least my breath doesn't smell like one." He remarks back. I figure he would leet me be as I brush my teeth instead he just lingers by the bathroom door frame.

    "You going just stand there and stare?" I ask spitting the tooth paste out of my mouth.

   "All I know is whatever made you drink that heavily like you used to must have been something seriously." Is all Oliver says trying to let me know that I didn't need to talk about it.

   Nonetheless he was there for me like always. I grab the edges of the bathroom counter top thinking about that dark beauty with my girlfriend. I mean probably ex now labels are complicated anyways.

     We both cheated. Technically I didn't know she cheated but I mean there was a girl coming from her bathroom.

  "Now that you're feeling..well..decent I am suppose to tell you that Roman wants to meet up for rehearsal." Oliver says rubbing back of his neck nervously.

   He knows I didn't feel like going anywhere or doing anything. Yet I made a commit that I have to keep. I owe it to Oliver at least to help his cousin out.

   "Today?" I just ask putting the tooth brush ask while looking at my clothes that was disgusting.

   "Don't worry you can burrow something of mine." Oliver states already reading my mind it seems.
