Just Friends

Part 9

Gareth woke up in a strage bed. He didn't remember when he got here or who he got there with. He furrowed his eyebrows when he realized he was wearing only boxers. He opened the bedroom and prepared to face the walk of shame. He saw a woman in the kitchen, her back facing towards him.

He took a deep breath. "Hey, look, I had an amazing time last night. You were incredible, but I think I'm going to leav-" He stopped his sentence when he saw Aleana turn around with a confused look on her face.

"Gareth, do you remember anything that happened last night? We didn't- we didn't do anything." Aleana said.

Gareth let out a sigh of relief and sat on one of the stools in Aleana's kitchen. "Thank god, I don't know what I would've told Sergio. He would be extremely pissed."

"He would." Ale said with a small chuckle. "About that, no hard feelings. Between us."

"Don't worry about it Ale." Gareth smiled as he walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a piece of bacon. "So, how did I get here?"

"You don't remember anything do you? You and Sergio arrived here at about four in the morning and you were both so drunk I can't even believe it. I guess you tolerate alcohol very well, you don't have a hangover?" Aleana asked.

Gareth shook his head. "Only a little bit. Where is Sergio?"

"He slept in my room. You slept in his. He's going To have a massive hangover, he doesn't take so well his alcohol." She said and heard groaning coming from her room. "I'll be back in a few minutes. Help yourself to whatever you want."

Aleana walked into her bedroom to see Sergio rolling around in her bed groaning and moaning. She had accidentally forgotten to close the window blinds so the sun was lighting up the room.

"Sergio." Aleana called but Sergio just shushed her and patted the bed for her to come next to him.

"Cuddles." Sergio whisperd and she did so.

"I can't believe you dyed your hair blonde." Ale whispered.

"I didn't." Sergio said getting comfortable. Aleana decided to spare this information from him, waiting until he fully woke up. She still felt weird since yesterday but she was getting over it. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, completely forgetting about how she had left Gareth alone in the kitchen.

It had been twenty minutes since Aleana had left, Gareth had already finished eating breakfast and took a shower, putting on the same clothes as the day before. He started getting worried so he went to Aleana's room and knocked on the door lightly. He opened the door to see Aleana and Sergio sleeping. He smiled and snapped a picture before leaving a note on Aleana's bedside that he had left.

Before leaving the apartment he posted a picture to Instagram

@garethbale11: these two left me all alone... @sr4official @aleanacuellar

A few hours later, Sergio woke up. His hangover still present but not as horrible as before. He smiled, looking down at Aleana who was resting her head on his chest. He knew they soon would have to talk about what was happening between them, but for now, he just wanted to stay like this forever. He moved a bit and felt something wet on his chest, he looked down at Aleana and groaned.

"Aleana, Ale. You drooled on me." Sergio whined grabbing a tissue and cleaning it up.

"You wanted cuddles, this is what you'll have to put up with." She said with a smile, turning around.

Sergio was about to get comfortable again when the bedroom door busted open. Revealing René.

"I've really got to confiscate the extra key from my apartment that you have. You've got to stop bursting into my home." Aleana said patting his back, standing and wanting to go to the kitchen.

"No, you stay in here. We need to talk." René said pointing for her to go sit next to Sergio on the bed.

"About what?" Sergio asked rubbing his eyes with the backs of his hands.

"Have you not checked your phones recently?" René asked and they both shook their heads. René then proceeded to show them the picture that Gareth had posted.

"What! What is wrong with him! I'm going to tell him to take it down!" Sergio said getting up from the bed, mad. Going to grab his phone.

"It'll be of no use Sergio, he posted it about an hour and a half ago. Millions of people have already saved the picture. You two are trending on Twitter." René said rolling his eyes. "Look, I have nothing against you two being together. In fact, you know that I'm pro-relationship between you guys. But I just want to get the facts straight. I'm your agent and I've got every single magazine and press representative crawling up my ass asking me about you. And I can't even tell them what's going between you, because I don't know. You two act as if you were together, if you were, I wouldn't mind it. But you aren't, and it affects both your images. Aleana, you have a friendly and family oriented image. You want to impress women and spread woman empowering statements, but by not saying wether you are or aren't dating Sergio only lowers your trust. And you Sergio, this obviously only adds to your image that you're a womanizer. So, if you guys are going to try something and be together, I want you to tell me. But if you're not, I suggest you stop acting as if you're a couple." René said looking at both of them for a minute before leaving. "Oh, and Aleana, I'm keeping the key. Also, Sergio, blonde is not your color."

Sergio furrowed his eyebrows and went over to look in the mirror and let out a yell, Aleana rolled her eyes but nevertheless gave René a smile. After he left, Sergio and Aleana were left alone thinking about what René had just said.

"Look, Sergio, I know you so well, that I know what you're going to say. But I just need some time to think about this." Aleana said not letting Sergio speak, leaving the room and grabbing her keys. She left the apartment not knowing where she was headed.
