*AB's POV*

I remember only part of what happened on Christmas...

I remember running away from Natalie and driving, headed to my family's house. I remember them calling me, telling me they had decided to go on a last minute trip. But what I don't remember, is how I woke up next to Victoria.

*Christmas night*

"Alberto, what are you doing here? I figured you be singing carols with THEM."

"Fucking bite me, Victoria." She was mixing the drinks, Kellan just left and gave me a weird look as he walked around the corner. "Spare me the bullshit, and just pour the drink."

"Wow, feisty."

I briefly remember her dragging me into my apartment building, and I remember closing my eyes. It was all such a blur.

When I opened my eyes, she was putting her clothes back on. I'd never noticed the butterfly tattoo on her shoulder before...

"This was fun, but I've gotta go. You know, you're pretty good, for a gay guy."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I lifted my head to feel intense pain, a hangover from the obvious activity I participated in last night.

Victoria hooked her shirt over her shoulders. "Wow," she placed her hand on her hip, "You really don't remember? Alberto, you were all over me, I would've thought I'd at least get your number."

"I'm with Alex, you know that."

She shook her head, shaking a finger at me, "Tsk, tsk, I don't think so papi."

I grabbed my phone, "What does that mean?" I looked down to see texts from Alex, wondering where I was, when I would be back, and a few voicemails. "What did you do?"

Victoria laughed, and on her way out she said, "Just doing my part."

*Damien's POV*

I felt the sunshine on my face, but didn't open my eyes just yet. I smelled the familiar smell of coffee, and Kellan's presence in my bed was obvious by the faint smell of his shampoo that hovered in the air.

"Hmm, is that coffee?" I opened my eyes slightly to see Kellan's untamed, still wet hair and a coffee cup in his hand.

"If you get up, you can have some." He laughed, leaning down and giving me a kiss on the cheek. I sat up immediately, holding my hand out for my cup.

"Thank you, so very much." I sipped the wonderful nectar, a hint of hazelnut creamer with black coffee, the absolute best.

"Yeah, yeah, AB's called you a few times. He said it was urgent the one time I picked up, so you might want to call him back. I've gotta go back to my apartment, I'm behind in watching my security footage. I was thinking about watching Halloween night to try and figure out what happened with Natalie."

Hearing about that night made me cringe, "You kept footage?" I hoped he wouldn't have evidence of when I'd unknowingly taken advantage of her...

"Of course, the camera gave out on them a couple years ago, and I replaced them just in case we ever had something like...

"Like Elle?" I touched another nerve.

He sipped his coffee again, and nodded, "Yeah, so I'd better get going." He stood up and started putting on his dark jeans, making the bed feel empty.
