5 days til CO
I awoke with a raging headache. I slowly opened my eyes, not wanting to do so. I was expecting to see my rainbow flag, but instead I saw a blank ceiling. Turned to the side and saw a door for the closet instead of a mirror. So, I'm not in my house. I turned my body around and saw a shirtless dude covered by a grey comforter. My face immediately turned pink when the realization hit me.
Connie. I slept with Connie. I have a boyfriend. What am I doing?
I try to get out of bed, only to the realization that I'm only in my boxers, I'm sore everywhere, and have a shit ton of hickeys on my chest and neck. Fuck.
"Mornin' babe." A voice came from beside me.
"Connie? What. Happened. I THOUGHT YOU WERE STRAIT YOU LIAR." Connie only let out a soft chuckle.
"Aw, babe. Last night was amazing, you wanna have one more round?" Um, no. It was wrong.
"I have a boyfriend, and what happened last night." I still didn't know.
"Well, Niko proposed to you. You came over here and then we made out and banged."
"And how did you convince me to do that?"
"You didn't need convincing, I went on top of you, insisted you were top and then it happened and I think I like dudes now." Connie replied.
I grabbed my shirt and phone and walked out of the room. I can't believe I did that. I figured I had nothing else here so I walked out the door. It was stupid enough that he followed through with this.
I picked my phone out of my pocket and dialed Rachel. I figured Mom would be mad.
"Hello?" Rachel answered.
"Hey..." I had shame in my voice.
"Where the hell are you, Mason?"
"I'm at Connie's."
"Why didn't you come home last night? Ilene is pissed."
"Niko proposed." She fell silent. "I didn't know what do do so I just walked to Connie's and I was kinda drunk so I don't know. Can-can you just pick me up."
"Yea. But you're gonna have to face the wrath of Ilene."
"I deserve it." Then I hung up.
Not long after, Rachel was there to pick me up. I stepped inside the passenger's seat.
"Did you want something too eat? We can go somewhere." I was kinda hungry, but there was something on my mind.
"Why are you being so nice?"
"I want to bond! And, you seemed like you had a rough night."
"Alright. Can we like, go to McDonald's or somth'n?"
"Sure. If I take you, will you walk about what happened last night in deatail."
I sighed, but agreed.
We arrived at the McDonald's and I ordered a big breakfast and Rachel ordered some kind of coffee. We sat down at a 2 person table and made small talk. (I'm obviously trying to avoid the topic of last night.)
"So, as your mother I need to know what happened last night."
"Ok, I didn't want to talk about it, but you used the mom card." She gave me a smirk.
I went on for about an hour, vented about Niko, and Connie.
"Wow."
"I know, I majorly fucked up."
"Yep."
"So what should I do?"
"I'd say you should end things with Niko, tell him you're not ready to get this serious and that's its not him it's you all that cheesy shit." I gave her a smile. Doing that felt right, although breaking Niko's heart, it had to be done.
