Our Girl

Loyal

I rubbed my eyes. There is no way I just saw what I just saw.

My eyes adjusted to the sight in front of me.

Nope, that's definitely Brittany. Had Nicole and college boy ended things?

This was none of my business but so many questions were running through my mind. What were they doing here? How did they happen to be in the same club as us? What is happening?

Before I knew it, I was close enough to the couple making out in the corner of the club that I could smell her perfume.

My breathing quickened. Why was my body reacting like I was the one being betrayed?

A pair of blue eyes caught my attention. I knew those eyes. It's hard to forget the eyes of someone who's nose you broke.

Her eyes were watery. She looked heartbroken. She took off running and instinctively I followed her. She ran out of the club and kept running as far as her body would allow without gasping for air.

"Nicole!" I yelled after her, trying to get her to stop. She either couldn't hear me or she ignored me because she just kept running.

"NICOLE STOP!" I yelled louder.

She came to a sudden halt and I ran right into her back almost knocking her over. My reactions are a little off. I blame Levi and the Tequila.

She turned around and tears were streaming down her face. Her makeup ruined.

I knew that anything I could say in this very moment would be pointless so instead I did the unthinkable.

I hugged her.

Her body froze at the gesture. She eventually accepted what was happening and allowed me to comfort her.

We stood in the middle of the street for who knows how long.

A group of drunk girls walked past us laughing and barely standing, shouting way too loud. That's when my mind traveled back to the club.

Shit! I left without telling anyone. Oh well, too late now. I'll tell them later.

"Come on, let's get you cleaned up."

She nodded. "My resort isn't too far from here." Her voice was breaking with every other word but I was able to piece together the sentence.

I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, hugging her shivering body close to me.

———

Her resort of course was the same resort as my own.

I'm either very lucky or I'm being punished. Only time would tell.

Their suite looked similar to ours except there were only two rooms. I followed Nicole into her bathroom where she began to vomit in the toilet.

Too much to drink I presume.

I didn't say anything. For once I didn't know what to say. What do you say to someone who just saw their boyfriend making out with their best friend?

"What are you doing here?" She asked between vomits.

"I could ask you the same." I took the hair tie out of my hair letting it fall down and then wrapped the hair tie around her's to keep her hair from her face.
