Ms. Fallon

Apologies & Love

Ariyah POV

"I don't even know why I'm surprised that she'd purposely try to seduce my girlfriend knowing she's with me." I yell at Malin as we're in my room.

"Hey. But atleast you know Alex respected you. That's what should matter here Ari." Malin says trying to be reasonable.

"It's not the only thing that matters Mal! That is my own flesh and she tried to steal my happiness away and for what?! A fucking one sided ass crush!" I yell.

Knock knock. "Not now Isiah!" Malin yells opening the door. But it's not Isiah it's the bitch who I want to beat the shit out of. "Crystal it is definitely not the time for you to be here right now."

"I know but I have to apologize to Ariyah. Please Malin." She begs and Malin turns to me asking me for permission. I nod.

"Come in. You motherfuckers are fucking up my fucking vacation." Malin mumbles and sits at the desk chair listening into the conversation while on her phone.

"What do you want Crystal because if you think a bullshit ass apology is going to make what you did ok, you mine as well leave." I tell her.

"I wanted to explain first. Yes it started out as a crush but after that movie night me and her had and us not sleeping together and just getting to know each other, it became more than that for me. She was the one person who didn't immediately believe the rumors about me being a bitch or a whore who sleeps with everyone. She wanted to be my friend and I wanted more. So, when we were flirting back and forth I guess i thought she was wanting the same. But then I came on to her at the group movie night and she turned me down saying she liked some one more over me. It hurt but I respected it because she's a great woman." Tears start to fall. "I kept my distance until the night you asked me to take her home. I noticed you two are always the last ones leaving and sometimes you aren't home when I go over to hang out. So I put the pieces together. While we were driving, we were talking again and it's like no time had passed. We clicked just like that. And I again, read the situation as more than just friends catching up. So I sat in my car and contemplated if I should act on my feelings and I decided to because I didn't want to hide them. I didn't know if you guys were serious and I know that shouldn't have even mattered but it did to me because I thought I had a chance. But she turned me down Ari. That woman loves you and I should've fully respected it and just let my feelings fade away."

She walks up to me when I don't say anything and grabs my hand. I don't pull away. "I am so sorry for hurting you. And I will not be upset if you choose to not speak to me again. But don't take it on Alex. She did nothing wrong." She pleads. I look her in her eyes and I only see my little cousin who always stole my Barbie's because they were prettier then hers.

"I forgive you. Only because I understand. Alex is amazing. And it's hard not to fall for her. I sure did." I pull her in for a hug and hug her tight.

"Aww yay." Malin exclaims. "Now that that's resolved we need to get back to the lounge. Isiah says he's fucked up." Malin says and we laugh and head back to the lounge.

When we get back we see everyone by the bar and Isiah behind them in his chair slumped with his face in hands. "Isiah what's going on?" Malin asks. I look around for Alex.

"I told you I fucked up." He says.

We look at him confused. "I thought you said 'you were fucked up'. Not on some hangover movie shit. Where's Alex?!" Malin yells grabbing his face where his eyes glossy from alcohol. He points to the bar where all the commotion is.

I try to make my way through but everyone is trying to take a glimpse of what's happening on the other side. "Move out of my way or I'm sending you all to your rooms!" I yell in my authoritative voice. Causing everyone to scramble all except my very much beautiful but drunk girlfriend. She has 7 shots of clear alcohol and pouring coloring into them like the rainbow getting ready to take them. "Alex."

She looks up and smiles in admiration. "Hi baby." She covers her mouth. "Oops i mean Ms. Fallon."

I laugh at her drunkenness. "Alex what are you doing? Why are you drunk? I thought you don't drink." I say pouring out the shots.

"I don't. But Isiah said I need to relax or I'm going to ruin his vacation with all my sulking." She rolled her eyes. I turn to Isiah who is just as bad as Alex and getting scolded by Malin and getting served water from Crystal.

I turn back to my girlfriend. "Baby you can drink but not this much. How much have you had?" I look at all the empty cups hoping they're not all hers.

"Well," she hiccups. "I had 3 cups of whiskey, 7 shots of vodka and one of the guys from editing gave me something called a jager bomb. And I feel great!" She exclaims with her hands in the air.

I pull them down. "That's great Baby. But now it's time for bed because you're going to be incredibly hungover tomorrow and we are supposed to be going out to sea. You will puke every where." I say grabbing her and leading her away from the bar and to our friends to let them know we're leaving. "Hey. I'm taking her to bed."

"Yeah you are." She says sloppily kissing on my neck.

"Not like that baby." I move her face from my neck. "We will see you guys tomorrow at the docks. Gnight." I take her to her room and I lean her against the wall beside the door so I can get her key card out of her pocket.

"Ooh just to the left and you're home baby." She says trying to be seductive grabbing onto my hips.

I open the door and pull her inside and I go to lay her on the bed but she pulls me down with her. "Baby let me get up. I have to take your clothes off." I say struggling to get out of her grasp. Why the fuck is so strong?

"You can take my clothes off and yours and then we can make love all night." She said kissing my cheeks making me giggle. But I restrain myself.

"No baby. You're drunk. We can't have sex while you're drunk ok." I say grabbing her face so she looks me in my eyes.

She nods disappointed. "Ok. But can you stay with me. I hate sleeping without you." She pouts.

"Of course baby. Now let's get up to take your clothes off." She lets me get up and I strip her down and grab a water bottle and wet towel. "I will find some advil in the morning to help with the inevitable headache you will be having." I say stripping myself out of my clothes and getting in the bed with her.

"Ariyah?" She calls as I lay her face into my neck and massage her back with my nail.

"Yes Alex?"

"We're still together right?" I chuckle at her innocence.

"Of course baby. I wasn't mad at you. I just needed my space. Everything is fine now."

"You guys made up?" She ask lifting her head to look at me.

I nod. "Yes baby. I understood why she did what she did. It hurt but I'm not surprised she fell for you. But at the end of the day your mine. And she knows that as well."

"Good. Because I want us to enjoy this vacation." She says laying back on my chest.

"Me too."

"I love you Baby." She says softly half asleep.

"I love you too." I say out loud.

I can feel her cheeks rise into a smile.
