I lean on Nick's back as he opens the door. We stumble inside and just make it to the bed,
"You need any help?" I shake my head,
"Oh wait, can you get me some water?" He nods and walks into the bathroom. I pull my top off and fall to the floor when I bend over to take my shoes off,
"What happ-" I look up to see Nick looking down at me wide-eyed,
"Are you ok? Here, get up." He lay me in bed and looked down at me,
"I saw Tori tonight at the concert." He nods,
"Yeah." I notice his eyes shift to my black bra,
"Green still your favorite color?" He shrugs,
"I guess." I take his hands in mine and place them on my breasts,
"They're real." His eyes stare at his hands on my breasts and I can feel the slightest bit of pressure as he squeezed them just enough as if he tried to do it secretly,
"Told you." He nods and I lick my lips as we stare at each other,
"Tori still here?" If he says she's gone Christina will have this room to herself. He sighs and closes his eyes briefly as he licks his lips,
"Yeah, she's waiting on me." He stands up and pulls the blanket over me,
"You can get your pants off right?" I nod and close my eyes,
"Your water is on the night stand and..." I open my eyes to see him looking around as he ran his hand through his hair,
"Um, I'm sure your friend will be here soon." I close my eyes and hear the door close as I count the spots I see in my head.
I wake up and my head is banging and I want to throw up. I will never again drink, what was I thinking? I sit up and quickly fall back down, getting up so fast was not a smart move. I roll over to see a note on Christina's bed, then I look at the clock. Oh no, she has to be gone already, her flight leaves in like half an hour or something. I slowly make my way over to her bed and read her note letting me know she didn't want to wake me up in my condition, she loved me and will talk to me tonight. I groan and lay my head down until minutes later when there was a knock on the door. I stumbled over to the door after finding my shirt and putting it back on.
"Ugh, you look awful." I frown at him and turn my back as I make my way back to bed,
"I saw your friends leave this morning." He sits on the bed next to me and rubs my back,
"When do you leave?" I groan and he laughs, what a friend,
"When was that?" I roll over on my back and lay my arm over my eyes,
"We're leaving in a couple of hours. When do you guys leave for Tampa?"
"We leave around two, just in time to miss the traffic they say." I feel him slap me on the leg,
"So, what did you do last night after the show?"
"I don't know. I know we went to Howie's club and apparently I drank....ALOT." He laughs again,
"It's not funny Eric." I lift my arm when I feel him get off the bed then come back with a glass of water,
"Here." I sit up very slowly, I learned my lesson from the first time, and sip the water,
"I don't really remember anything." Just then David and Elliott walked through the door,
"Don't people knock?" Elliott looks over at me,
"I figured you wouldn't be in any condition to hear someone banging on the door." I look over at Eric and he shrugs,
"Good point." They sat on what once was Chris' bed,
"So, you feeling embarrassed yet?" I frown at David,
"Embarrassed for what?" He and Elliott smile at each other and my stomach drops,
"Oh God what did I do?" David stands up,
"I want Nick, take me to Nick." Elliott and Eric laugh and I want to cry,
"I said that? Did he hear me?" Elliott shakes his head,
"No, but he did have to hold you up when we were in the elevator, then he tucked you in." My eyes dart around trying to figure out what went on,
"Did I...we...Nick and I..." David smiles,
"In your dreams...but your top was off when Christina came back to the room. What were you and Nick doing?" I shake my head and instantly regret it,
"I dunno." We talk while they watch me slowly pack my suitcase, the entire time I'm trying to figure out what happened the previous night with Nick.
While I wait on David and Elliott to check out I pull out my cell phone and dial Nck's number only to get the voice mail as usual,
"Hey Nick, it's Quinn. Just calling to say bye, hope you have a good show in Tampa." I sigh,
"Um they told me you tucked me in, I have no idea what happened but thank you for taking care of me. I'll talk to you soon. Bye." David and Elliott walk towards me and Elliott wraps his arm around me,
"Let's go home babe."
