Inevitable

Chapter 25

I wake up in the middle of the night groggy. Those shots were probably a bad idea, especially on an empty stomach. I feel my stomach churn. Oh fuck, this is not going to be good... I peel Michael's arms off of me, making him groan and stir in his sleep. When I'm finally out of his grip, I'm full blown running to the bathroom.

I lurch forward and spill my stomach contents (which is nothing but liquid). I'm coughing my lungs out as the acid burns my nose. When I'm finished I decide to stay by the toilet. I sit cross legged with my forehead resting on my arm. I groan loudly, not caring if I woke up any of the guys. I can hear someones foot steps as they walk towards me. "Ugh go away.." I whine. I turn my head to see Micheal leaning against the door frame, rubbing his eyes. "Rhenn, are you okay? Why are you hurling your guts up?"

"Mikey, I had shots on an empty stomach. Of course I'm going to be throwing up."

He sits down next to me and starts rubbing my back. I smile at the gesture, even though it's hidden by my arm resting on the toilet.  He is such a good guy. I swear if he wasn't already interested in someone, I'd snatch him right up. So thoughtful, caring, not to mention hot as fuck. I can't be thinking like this. He's my friend. I shake up head, and look at him.

"Thank you Mikey. I appreciate you trying to make me feel better. You really are a great friend."

"Ha, yeah. I uhm, try to be a great friend."  More emphasis on friend, than I would've hoped.

I sigh and lean to stand up. He's instantly gripping my arm, helping me up. "Thank you." I whisper.

"No problem babe."

My heart flutters at the word. I don't even know what I'm feeling. It's probably the left over alcohol in my system.

I wrap myself in the soft blankets I was previously in. Michael gets in behind me and wraps his arm around me, comforting me. "Now let's not throw up anymore, sound good?" "Sounds like a great idea." I giggle. "Good, now get some sleep. You're going to need it for what we have planned." I'm too tired to respond, so, I settle for a nod.

I awake to the door opening and shutting. I look up to see Jess smirking above me.

"Ugh, whaaatt?" I groan at her.

"You need to get up and spill the details on your little attachment you have there." She nods to my right. I forgot Michael and I were spooning. I sigh and get up from the bed. The boys are all dead asleep. Their snores are still audible.

I follow Jess back to our room. "So, you guys were spooning huh?"

"Yeah he took care of me.. We played truth or dare last night and I got dared to take three shots. So I did. Only at 3 this morning, when I was yakking my brains out, did I realize that I haden't eaten all day."

"Oh I see. And does one have feelings for said attachment?"

"Ha, Mikey is like the perfect guy. There is no way in hell he would ever think of me as girlfriend material. I'm just like the big sister they never had. Plus, he told me he has an eye on another girl, soooo yeahhh." I explain.

"Mhmm and you dont feel the need for a little competition."

"No, I definitely would be his last choice. I also have to figure this shit out with Lou, he texted me last night."

"And??"

"He said 'Hey babe, what are you doing'?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, the boys said I should let him ponder what I'm doing, for once. Anyway enough about my night, how was yours?" I grin at her.

"Oh my god! it was so amazing." She says sprawling on her box spring.

"Tell me!"

"Well we got to his house and he gave me the grand tour. His flat is pretty spacious, He has a lake behind his house the boys use to swim in and stuff. He has a whole art room, that he likes to express himself in. After the tour he lead me into the kitchen and we cooked dinner in there. After dinner we watched a romantic movie and he didn't leave my side the entire night, he always had to be touching me some how. Whether it be us holding hands or him resting his hand on my thigh or cuddling me. He was soo cute Rhenn. I'm falling for him definitely." She says reminissing in the thought.

"Aw how sweet! You guys are like perfect for each other. One day I'll have that. Right now I think I'm just going to live my life and not give a shit." I shrug

"Speaking of living your life. Michael might've already mentioned it to you. We are going over to Zayn's tonight to party and have one giant sleepover. Zayn thinks the guys need to get to know us more. The 5sos boys are coming too. Maybe you can snuggle on up to Michael and see how he reacts. Maybe even flirt with another guy and see if it even fazes him."

"Oh sweet, sounds good. Jess, It wont even faze him. Let's see how the night plays out and then you and I will have a secret meeting somewhere and talk about how I feel."

Jess nods her head up and down. She pulls out her phone and looks at it. "Shit, Rhenn we need to get the boys up, eat something and then meet Zayn and the other boys. We're going swimming at the lake, I told you he had. I'll go get the boys up while you shower." with that said, I jump off my box spring as she walks out the door yelling at the guys to get up.

When I'm done taking my 10 minute shower, I throw a towel on top of my head and go to my dresser to pull out my bikini. I love being in a bikini. It shows every tattoo I have. I love showing them off. I rummage through my drawers and pull out gray bottoms and the matching peacock vintage top. When I'm covered, I grab a loose crop top and a pair of shorts to go over my swim suit. I also grab everything I will need for the night including an outfit for the party and pj's.

"You ready yet?" Jess yells as she swings the door open.

"Yeah just give me a second to brush my hair."

Jess was in her pink bikini already, along with a white tank and black shorts. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun.

As soon as I'm done brushing my hair, I gab my things and walk out of the door with Jess. The boys had left while I was in the shower to go get ready. I'm sure they beat us there already.

I texted my mom while she was at work, telling her my plan for the rest of the weekend and that we wouldnt be home, considering we actually have the weekend off.

Once we catch a cab and start moving towards Zayn's flat, I finally relax. I think about what today and tonight has in store for me. I get butterfly's at the thought.

Tonight is going to be very interesting...
