"Want to watch a movie at my place?" Clarissa offers at the end of the night.
"Seeing that everyone will be fucking, I don't really have much of a choice but to kill some time." I groan as everyone is heading back to the hotel.
"So tell me about this girl?" She asks.
"Her name is Belle. She's actually Michael's little sister, but it's not as awkward as I thought it would be." I explain as we walk back.
"Do you have a picture of her?" She asks.
"Of course." I chuckle and show her my lock screen.
"She's cute." Clarissa smiles at it.
"She makes me a better person. I wanted to get her a fake so she could join me tonight, but her and Michael said no." I sigh and put my phone back in my pocket.
"How about you?" I ask.
"As always, it's complicated. I go out but none of the guys have much substance to them." She shrugged.
"Maybe don't look for them in clubs, go to book stores or coffee shops." I suggest.
"That's not my scene though." She shrugged her head.
"People go to clubs to drink & hook up. You need a guy that's a little more tamed. It'll balance better." I explain.
"Your girl isn't a partier?" She looked surprised.
"She's a contained kind of wild. She goes out but she isn't too crazy about it. Ever since we got together we have both kind of settled down. We spend a lot of night in." Damn all this talking makes me miss her.

We get back to her hotel room and watch the Spongebob movie. I didn't realize it was late or that I was tired until I'm being woken up by a screaming Michael.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?" He looks beyond pissed.
"It's not what it looks like!" I immediately defend once I realize I'm in bed with Clarissa.
"It looks like you've cheated on my sister with the same tramp you always cheat with. I can't believe you were so weak minded, Luke. You really had us all fooled." He storms off.
"Michael, we watched a movie and fell asleep. Nothing happened! I'd never do that to Belle. You were fucking in there, what else was I supposed to do?" I immediately explain once I get into our room.
"I swear to God Luke, if you fucked Clarissa, we're done. This friendship, the band, everything." He threatens me.
"I would never, okay. It wasn't like that and it's never going to be like that. I love Belle far too greatly to even look at another girl in that way. Trust me when I say, I'm a taken man and nothing is going to change that." I ran a hand through my hair once I relax.
"You can understand how sketchy that is though." he relaxes too.
"Yes, completely. I'm sorry it's like that, but I care about Belle very much and I wouldn't do such a thing." I continue to defend myself.
"Come on, let's go get a cold one." He nudges me and we leave.
"It's like ten, Mike." I chuckle.
"And? I need one after that scare." He groans.
