"vic you have work in an hour, wake up" melissa shoved her best friends side.

the two hadn't moved from their position on the couch which was surprising considering how uncomfortable it looked. mel definitely had a headache but she wouldn't go as far to say she was hungover.

she still went to the kitchen and grabbed a can of coke for both of them as well as putting some bacon under the grill, she had discovered that if she had been drinking alcohol the best recovery things were a sugary drink and some salty food.

victoria rubbed her eyes that were partially stuck shut by the make up she hadn't washed off, the mascara sticking her top and bottom eyelashes together. she considered faking being ill to get the day off from work.

"i'm making breakfast, go shower so you look less shit"

victoria glared at melissa who was leaning over the countertop holding out the can of soda. victoria rolled off the couch, taking the drink as she went into her bedroom.

she took her time in the shower, allowing the water to run down her back in an attempt to wake herself up a bit. with only forty five minutes until she had to be at work victoria hurried up in applying makeup and fixing her hair as much as possible to make herself look presentable.

melissa knocked on vics bedroom door with breakfast in hand for her best friend.

"come in i'm done getting dressed now"

mel left a plate on victoria's bedside table.

"are you gonna see luke before he goes"

victoria shrugged as she began eating, swallowing the food before responding.

"might do tonight but it depends if we both have time. im too tired for sex anyway so i won't mind if we don't"

melissa was worried about how much time her friend was spending with the singer. she knew victoria better than a lot of people and knew that although she acted tough and joked about being cold hearted, vic let people in too easily and it didn't take a lot for her to become attached.

she knew that victoria wasn't looking for a relationship, nor did she have any interest in luke other than the hookups but with the amount of time vic and luke had been spending together in the brief time he was in town concerned her slightly.

"hmm okay. well im gonna get going then and i'll see you at the weekend, yeah?"

"sure, we need a night out together"

"right then, bye babe. i'll lock the door on the way out"

mel gave victoria a one armed hug then left the apartment, making sure the door was shut before leaving.

vic spent the rest of her time trying to wake herself up. over the evening she had definitely drank a lot more alcohol than her best friend even though there was no occasion. they didn't need a party or event as an excuse to drink and gossip together.

she left early so she could pick up a coffee on route to work. it was going to be a long day.

by midday victoria and her colleague went to go and grab lunch.

vic had worked with natalia for almost five months and the two had become close within the workplace. they had been on a few nights out together and very often went for dinner or lunch.

"i honestly can't wait to get my paycheque" natalia groaned biting into her burrito.

"mmm same, got bills to pay soon"

"god i'm so glad i still live with my parents. i can't wait to spend my money on clothes, makeup and food. mainly food though"

"i'll have money for all that too, just not as much as you" victoria laughed picking the lettuce from her burger.
