Weekend alone Part 10

Previously on FFMFBF 

''Im not a child. I know you think of me like that, I don't want you to but you do. I may be really dru-'' She hiccups in between her sentence. ''dru-nk but I don't want you to see me as a k-id. You know adults get drunk too! And they act like children all the time. My parents are like that when they get drunk as well so why can't I without seeming like a kid to you?'' I had no Idea what to say. I wish she knew I didn't see her as a kid but as a beautiful intelligent woman, but I can't.

''Im sorry If I make you feel that way Angel'' She suddenly looks at me with that sweet and gorgeous smile.

''Angel?'' She questions with a soft voice that melts my heart.

''Yep, heaven sent'' She comes closer and kisses my cheek and lies back in bed and instantly falls asleep. I walk out of her room and once I close the door I feel great but horrible at the same time. That one moment felt more real to me than when I first got married. And that smile on her face made me feel like I was walking on air, but as well as the smile was sweet it was also dangerous because it could lead to my oldest friends hating me. It was just something I couldn't help.

This is a complete disaster and I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Oh god why is the sun so damn bright

 I think to myself as I turn to the side to get the sun out of my face, but I suddenly feel a throbbing headache coming on. What the hell did I drink last night, or better yet how much?

A flashback from last night emerges 

''I'd love a margarita'' Emma says.

''Make that two'' Mel chimes in and gets excited.

''How about you Scarlett ?'' He looks at me and I feel myself getting red all over again. Thank god for this foundation.

''I'll take a whiskey sour'' I could tell they were all shocked especially Nicholas. ''What I can be hard if I want too.'' The girls start to laugh and Nicholas gives me a sly smirk. As he leaves to the bar I then realise what I just said.

Now why did i think that was a good idea?

It was probably because you want Nicholas to think of you as an adult

Oh shut up. 

But my subconscious was completely right, though that probably wasn't the right way to go about it. My stomach starts to growl and I realise how hungry I am but I was to ashamed to go down and face Nicholas. I sit up and look for my phone and find it on my nightstand. It was 3 in the afternoon and I can't believe I slept that long, and that my parents would be home soon. Just as I was about to get up my dad calls me. 

''Hey dad'' 

''Hey sweetie, we're in the car on our way back. Just wanted to see if you wanted something from Taco bell.'' He asks me as I almost throw up in my mouth thinking about food even if I was hungry only a few moments ago. 

''No, but thank you anyway'' I politely decline

''You really don't want taco bell?'' My dad questions

''Scarlett is saying no to food?'' I hear my brother chime in. 

''Yes dad, Im not in the mood for any food'' I say hoping he won't notice I'm completely hungover. 

''Wait, do you have a hangover?'' My dad questions sounding pretty serious. 

''Yes dad, but I promise I didn't do anything stupid, well besides drinking an excessive amount of alcohol'' I know your probably wondering why Im telling my dad the truth but I tell my parents everything, well maybe not the fact that I have dirty thoughts about his best friend. Im going to keep that part to myself.
