Lethal Obsession

SM Hotel

**Saturday**

I wake up the next morning, phone still in hand. I look to my left and Beck is still passed out, mouth gaping open and snoring. She better not have a hangover when doing my hair for tonight!

I look down at my phone and I have one text from Nate. I struggle to sit up and open the message in a hurry. 'Good morning beautiful. Hope you had a good night with Beck. Can't wait to see you. What time are you going to be at the party tonight?'

I sit trying to figure out if I should text back or let him sweat it a bit. He is so hot and cold sometimes, I don't know how to perceive his actions. I am probably just overreacting. Typical Halston! 

I start typing on my phone to Nate. 'Good morning. Last night was great even though you had to leave. So happy you won your big fight! By the time I get my hair done, get ready and get over there, it probably will be around nine or possibly a little after.' I am such a sucker and couldn't hold off on texting. I'm so weak for him. I try to sound as bubbly as possible in the text and didn't bring up driving by his house so I don't sound like a psycho stalker!

He quickly responds. 'Perfect. Have a great day and see you tonight.'

Well, that's that. I nudge the side of Beck to try and get her up. She swats at my arm and turns over. I decide to start tickling her to see if that tactic works. She bursts into laughter pushing me away.

"Stop bitch! I need my beauty sleep," she responds.

"Get up!! You need to be fresh and sober to do my hair this evening!"

"Okay. I'm up! I'm in serious need of a Bloody Mary, Halston!"

"Well, get your butt up and we can go for lunch. One Bloody Mary only, got it?" I laugh.

"K. Lemme shower and then I will just snag something of yours for the day. I don't really want to go home right now. Oh, maybe I can call the hot guy from last night to join us for lunch!"

I am surprised that she can still remember last night! "You do that!"

"Will Mr. Hunky Nate be joining us?" She asks.

"I'm not gonna ask. I will just see him tonight. More time to spend with you!" 

"True! Good call. Now I'm gonna go shower my alcohol away." She rolls out of bed stumbling into the wall. "I'm good!" She walks around the corner to the bathroom.

Should I text Nate and let him know? I forget how this whole relationship thing works...At least he will know where I am just in case.

I text 'Going to lunch with Beck and possibly the guy she met from last night. I will be riding solo :(' Maybe he will want to come too? 

He responds after a few minutes with a text. 'Have fun. See you later.'

Guess not! Fuck it. I am going to have a fun and carefree day today, get ready for tonight and hopefully have a blast! It's crazy  how Nate and I have spent so much time together recently that I actually miss him. I guess everyone needs their time apart. I just still wonder where he was last night especially since he said how tired he was.

Beck gets done in the shower then I decide to get ready after. Her 'friend' is hungover so they agreed to meet up later tonight. At least I won't feel like the third wheel! I decide not to wear my ring out so that Beck doesn't see or ask questions! I'm surprised she didn't notice it last night. If she did, maybe she thought it was just costume jewelry since the rock and band are so stunning.

We leave my house and arrive at the restaurant. Beck looks at me and then looks down, fidgeting with her silverware. "Don't be mad. I invited my brother along. Chris was busy with some fling." She looks back up smiling. "It'll be fine! Nate shouldn't be mad! Kale is your friend too!"
