I woke up somewhere around three a.m and went to Jessie's room to find an empty bed. I walk back to my room to get my phone and find a message from her 'round one a.m, telling me that she's nearly done with her shift, I wonder why she isn't here yet. I quickly dial her number from my recent calls and wait for her to pick up, the line keeps ringing but she never picks up. I call her again, but I'm met by the deadly silence again. I start pacing in front of my bed wondering who I can call to find if she's still at the club. There's only one person I can call, he may or may not be with her, the chances vary, I've seen the chemistry they had, they were attracted to each other, but Jessie was pushing him away, she told me once she doesn't want a relationship for now, or any time sooner. She needs this time, stress free, drugs free for a while, and a partner on her side isn't gonna make it any easier.

I take the phone from the bed and call her once more, but when she doesn't pick up I dial Mason's number instead of wasting time, I sit down on the edge of the bed and start tapping the heel of my foot on the cold wooden floor while waiting impatiently for him to pick up.

" Hello? " he answers with a tired voice.

" Um, hello Mason, sorry for calling this late, it's Mila." I get up from the bed and start pacing nervously again.

" It's fine Mil, is everything all right? " his voice is a mix of tiredness, confusion and unmistakable wariness.

" Uh, so you were awake, thank god, I was wondering if you and Jess were together ? " I scrunch up my nose hoping for her to be safely with him, but at the same time not wishing for her to be with the man, but the words I heard made me wish I never wished she wasn't with him.  

" No, I thought she'd be home by now, I called earlier around one thirty to my friend Ethan, he works at the bar as well, and he said that she left, did you try to call her? " OF COURSE I'VE CALLED HER DUMBASS. I sigh loudly and start pacing even faster than I was and almost trip when I hear the click of the lock of the apartment's door. I quickly walk outside with the phone still held to my ear, once I see her I'm filled with a mix of relief and anger, and if daggers could come out of eyes then I'd be shooting them at her with my look at the moment for not calling me back when I see her phone held tightly in her palm. " Mason, I'm really sorry for interrupting your night, she has finally arrived."

" Again, its fine, I'm glad everything is okay with you two, have a good night." He says before the line goes silent.

" You have a lot of explaining to do." I raise one eyebrow at her while folding my arms. " I need wine, lots and lots of wine." She says while laughing. " What are you laughing about please? And where were you till this hour Jess? seriously, you scared the crap out of me." I ask, not moving from my position while sending the ever plastered glare on my face her direction.

" Come sit down, we have some gossiping to do." She tells me while walking to the kitchen and reaching up for the upper cabinet where the wine glasses are, she takes out two glasses and then goes to the fridge to take out one bottle of Merlot I got a few days ago when I was running errands.

She sits down on the opposite side of the kitchen table and start typing away on her phone before sitting the phone down on the table and looking in my face then blasting again to another round of maniacal laughter. " you will not believe what I just encountered before I came here."

" enlighten me please. " I say while sitting down my wine glass.

" Okay, so I met this girl in the club, and she seemed off, so you know how I usually chat with patrons whenever they're not any of he perverted male kind, but shock of all shocks, she decided I was her dinner for the night, or something like that."
