Just Dallas

Chapter Five

Dallas' P.O.V

My brain pounded against my skull and I had no recollection of the events that took place the night before just as I was waking up. I attempted to open my eyes in ease but instead had to face the wrath of the morning sunlight. I shielded my eyes and blinked the excruciating pain away.

I looked around, straining my neck in the process. The room around me was a mess and I was having a hard time remembering what had happened.

I looked down, beside me, right there on the bed was Aubrey freaking Darwin.

I panicked, jumping off of the bed. She woke up startled and rubbed her forehead in attempt to wake herself up. I paced around the room instead. I was half clothed and so was she which didn't exactly make me feel any better.

Chestnut and I had sex?

She glared at me and then at herself but soon relaxed and slumped her shoulders, falling back into the bed.

"What was the sigh for? If I were you, I'd be pacing too." I said nervously.

She laughed a small laugh and rested her hand on her forehead as she lay on the bed.

"What? What is it?" I asked hurriedly.

"Stop worrying Dallas, nothing happened."

"Then why can't I remember anything?" I asked.

"Maybe because you were half drunk." she rolled her eyes.

I stopped to think for a while. I strained myself to remember what had happened or if she was telling the truth.

"I was?" I asked.

"Yes, yes you were." She said exasperating.

Maybe she was telling the truth. All I was getting were brief glimpses of the events that took place last night which included dancing amongst girls I didn't know and telling the DJ to turn up the music. I normally wouldn't do that as a sober person so I was definitely drunk.

"So why were we in the same bed together?" I asked, my suspicions growing back like a weed.

"Remember how we agreed that we'd sleep in the bed together? We must've rolled towards each other throughout the course of the night. Don't get your knickers in a bunch." she explained, getting off of the bed, sliding towards the bathroom with her messy hair covering her face.

I huffed out a laugh and shook my head of all the impure thoughts. If Aubrey and I actually did do 'it' then I'd never be able to forgive myself. I sighed in relief and ruffled my own hair. I looked down to find myself without a shirt and just in a pair of shorts.
It didn't look like Chestnut was uncomfortable but I put on any t-shirt I could find just to make sure.

The roads looked never ending and they continued on until the artificial beach and the 24/7 bar. Memories of the previous night were starting to flood in and I remembered how badly I treated Chestnut. I didn't even say a single word to her because of my embarrassment. I was dying to apologize to her but it didn't seem like it mattered all that much.

Chestnut walked quietly beside me and I was starting to get worried. She was normally never this quiet. She hadn't even uttered a single word.

"Hey, Chestnut you okay?" I asked, praying that she didn't bring up last night.

"Huh?" she looked up startled, "um, yeah. I'm fine." She smiled but it didn't seem genuine at all. I was worried that I'd upset her too much about yesterday night and inevitably I had to bring up the topic to make sure she was okay.
