The holidays came and this time I wasn’t thinking about my crisis with Eli I was thinking about the Hotel sleepover that was coming up. Imogen had booked me and her a 5 star luxury hotel room and we were going to stay overnight because at that hotel there is some rich kid’s ball. The younger boy’s birthday it actually is and Imogen and I had some bad history with the little brat. So we were going to crash his party right on 9.00pm because that’s when he joked around with us which made us look bad to everyone back then. I packed a backpack with the essential stuff needed for our massive prank. I met Imogen at the front steps of the Hotel. Imogen checked us in and so we went up to our room. We unpacked our devilish things and we put on my black shimmer dress with black heels and Imogen wore a dark blue dress with blue heels. We both put our masquerade masks on and so we headed downstairs. I had to lock the boy in his hotel room alone because his whole family was in the ballroom already. So I had to keep people inside the ballroom.
As I sat near the bar waiting for the alarm to go off I got a text from Imogen saying she is having problems and to wait in the ballroom still. I took a sip of some wine I wasn’t kicked out because I looked old enough to be in the bar area. I was greeted suddenly by some handsome guy holding out his hand and saying “May I have this dance?”
I smiled and accompanied him to the dance floor. We danced for so long and we danced to some of the most beautiful songs. A slow song came on and he pulled me closer. He smelt so nice because the cologne he was wearing was so powerful in smell. He whispered to me with his flirtatious accent “What beauty you are, it doesn’t look like you have male company maybe I can be that special someone for you”.
I giggled and whispered back to him “Only if you can catch me” and I started to run it was like we started playing tips. I ran past Imogen and then got a text from her it said ‘I won’t pull the alarm because it seems like you’re having fun.’ I texted back ‘Thank you’ and so I continued to run. We both ran into an inside pool area. I was on one side and he was on the other.
I yelled to him “You might have to swim across to me!”
He took off his suit and tie and jumped in. He slowly swam to me and I sat on the edge of the pool. I took off my shoes and rolled up my dress to be comfortable. He swam up to me and hopped up out of the pool and sat next to me.
He then whispered to me “You might have to dry me, my princess.”
I un-buttoned three buttons of his shirt and we leant into each other and kissed. It was so passionate and romantic but I wasn’t thinking. I am kissing a man straight after my terrible break up I knew it wasn’t going to end well. He then went for the straps of my mask. Just as he was about to take it off Imogen screamed to me “Becky no!” I gasped and stopped kissing him, lucky my mask stayed on because the weirdest thing happened.
Imogen approached me and yelled to me “Your kissing men I thought you only loved me!”
Imogen slapped the guy and told him to piss off. He got up and just as he was about to speak Imogen kissed me. My ex-friend (the guy) ran out of the room yelling in some language but I could hear the word ‘Lesbians!’.
When he left I pushed Imogen away and yelled “what were you thinking!”
“Becky, if you went any further he could have found out who you are and what if he goes to our school and knows about you and Eli and boasts about your kiss to the whole school they’ll think your some hooker for all the guys. So I kissed you so he would immediately ditch you and not find out about your pain.” Imogen replied to me.
I smiled and said “Thank you; you’re the one friend who looks out for my feelings and my actions. I f I did that my life would be gone…..but no more kissing please you’re my best friend and it’s just weird.”
Imogen laughed and we swore to each other never to kiss again.
She then quickly said “When you’re with Eli your under control, but now your broken up with Eli you have become a runaway, uncontrollable girl and I want you to be safe.”
We then went back to the hotel room and just had a movie marathon instead.
As morning came I asked for Imogen to stay overnight at my place so we can continue our girl holiday marathon. The next night Imogen and I ordered pizza for dinner, drank alcohol, bitched about men, watched movies and played some weird funny games.
Just as I finished my last bites from my pizza Imogen asked me again “Becky, are you still into Eli?”
This time there was no backing out I had to answer her. I said “Yes and No…”
“That’s not an accurate answer” she questioned me.
“Well seeing Eli now he has gotten help and has improved heaps, but I’m scared that he might go behind my back if I get with him again.” I then said.
Imogen gave me a suspicious stare and asked me again “are you still into Eli you just told me if you not sure to date him again but are you into Eli, is he the one you truly want to be with?”
I stared into Imogen’s eyes and replied “Eli is the one, he is the one who has loved me from the bottom of his heart and I threw him away over something that could get fixed. Of course I’m still into him; he is the only guy I want in my life! And next term he is going to be all loved up with his new girlfriend, it’s so clear I’m a fool with love…”
