"Here you go." Maria says, handing me my tea and taking a sip of her own latte. "Thanks." I take a sip and watch as she drives away from the drive-thru. The sunset is glowing in the sky, we both are out for shopping today, I needed it, especially with everything going on in the office and with him.
Don't think about him. I remind myself.
"So, where are we going first?" She asks, keeping her eyes on the road.
"We're gonna go to each boutique one by one, like usual." I take another sip, the weather is little chilly today. I'm so happy it's finally the start of winter, those horrible burning days are finally over.
"Okay." She drives and occasionally takes a sip of her coffee. "Rose... is everything going alright with you and him?"
"You know, it's never "alright" between us.." I sigh.
"So... nothing has changed..?" She asks and I notice a little edge of something in her tone.
"Umm No.. why would anything change?" I cross my eyebrows. "He still hates me, we fight like usual."
"Yeah... but..." She keeps her eyes on the road.
I take another sip. "But what?"
"It's... you know....that day of the party, at the club..." She glances at me for a second before looking back at the road.
"Maria, what are you trying to say?" I fully turn to look at her.
"How much do you remember of that night..?"
I think for a moment and then speak "Honestly, nothing. I don't remember anything... all I remember is we got a drink from the bar and I got drunk... then what happened, I have no idea."
"You have absolutely no idea?" She asks and I shake my head. "Well...." She sighs and I wait for her to continue, taking another sip. "Jacob was there." She says and I almost spit out my tea.
"What?" I look at her. "Jacob? What the hell was he doing there?"
"I have no idea what he was doing there but he approached you..."
My mouth falls open at that information. "What?"
"Yeah, he took you to the dance floor and danced with you..."
My jaw drops even more. "He did what!"
"You guys danced together and he was trying to touch your hips." She says and looks at me.
