Broken Knot.

Chapter 6

Nick awoke to the massive headache and to see his friends wasted around the house. He checked to see if was evening already, thinking it was still yesterday. He pulls out his watch, seeing the time 5:14AM.

Shit! Shit! Shit! he thinks. He gets up and searches for his phone before hopping between his friends to the door. It was found on the center of the poker table, he rolls his eyes, picking it up and quickly leaving the house without a sound.

"Oh God, I'm so fucked," he curses, as he gets into his car. And quickly speeding through the streets to their house, he entered to the soundless environment. Elvis was asleep by the soft rug, he looks around the living room, Selena wasn't on the couch. 

Good.

He races to the washroom silently to brush his teeth and leave no trace of alcohol, she hated when he drinks because she knows he does reckless things. Clearly...

Finally all washed up, he joins her on the other side of their bed. She was snuggling in her blanket, sleeping soundlessly like an angel. He smiles and embraces her into him, bringing in the fresh aroma of the vanilla shampoo she uses for her soft hair. She stirs a little in her sleep.

She turns around, and sees him staring at her tiredly. She smiles, just happy he was home.

"Someone's past their curfew," she giggles softly, running her hands through his tangles.

"Hmm..." he pecks her lips and pulls away, "I meant to come earlier but I fell asleep, I'm sorry babe."

She shakes her head, "Just hug me."

He nodded and did as told, but something bugged him inside. A knot forms in his stomach, it was a punch in the gut feeling. He cringes at it, but quickly ignores the feeling and falls dead asleep.

--

Selena wakes up by 8, to get ready for work. She leaves his embrace quietly, but he was clearly too tired from last night, he was dead asleep. She changes into a nice flowy dress, and puts her make up on.

She prepared breakfast for Elvis and her, she figured Nick was going to have a hangover so she called in to his work that Nick was going to come in late. She was just preparing to leave the house when he came downstairs, stretching.

"Morning," he pecks her on the lips as she was on her way out the house.

"Morning," she replies smiling, as she slips on her flats, "I called in for you that you'll be late, I figured you'll be having a hangover from last night."

He wraps his arms around her and gives her a longer kiss,  "You're the best."

"I know," she giggles, and turns away to get the car keys. "I'll see you tonight." He nods and lets her go. She drives out their driveway and into the school she works at, she was an art teacher at an elementary school near their house, only a few blocks off.

Nick got changed shortly after Selena left, he poured out some delicious food for Elvis before leaving the house. He arrives to the tall building for kitchen culneries. He was the head for marketing. He even had an office of his own.

His friend Zac and Justin were mail mans in the building, they were passing by him with smirks at lunch. Nick looked at them suspiciously.

"What?" Nick asks them, giving up on reading their minds.

"You know what you did last night," Zac smirks at his friend, still remembering how him and Olivia shared a kiss and how she slapped him.

"What?" he asks again, and this time he was much more curious. Zac nudges Justin who was occupied by the burger so Zac had to tell him, himself.

"YO, last night you and Olivia had it all out," Zac sneers, looking around the food court before continuing, "You guys literally were making out, then she saw the ring on your finger and totally whipped you."

So that was what made him feel so uneasy this morning. He mentally kicks himself inside, if Selena ever -God forbid- finds out, she would be so broken. He had to make sure there were no evidence.

But his eyes were just widened and jaw drops, "No one documented anything right?"

"NOPE!" Both of them said confidently.

"Good, we are not to speak of that night... ever" Nick discloses and establishes that they understand, both guys just nod at him.

"Problem solved, now lets eat!" Justin cheered, whining for them to join his feast.
