could remember from the time they’d left each other the evening before.
After going back to her room, she had taken a shower and dressed for bed. Not really tired she decided to watch some television. Everything on cable she’d seen before. Instead of going up to Summer’s room to hangout with her and Ava, she’d decided to go to the lounge for a drink. As of lately she just wasn’t in the mood to be around anyone. It wasn’t that she no longer cared for her friends she just didn’t want to bring them down. Nor was she in the mood for cheering up. Nothing could cheer her up.
Sipping on Malibu and pineapple juice, her sadness became even deeper. Before she knew it, an hour had turned into two, that’s when a friendly male voice asked if he could sit with her.
Everything after that became fuzzy and hazy. Things came in and out, in snapshots. Starr vaguely remembered going to a chapel watching a couple get married, then going to a lounge in another hotel, and then waking up naked in her bed.
At the end of her story, Summer’s mouth hung wide open in disbelieve. Starr had always been the most leveled headed one. Lord have mercy what in God’s name did Starr do?
“Don’t look at me like that.” Starr tearfully pleaded, attempting to keep the tears from falling again.
“I’m sorry, honey. I’m just a little shocked.”
“I know. I shocked myself. I can’t believe I did something like this.”
Summer gently asked, “Did you sleep with him?” Just because she woke up naked in bed with a man in her bathroom didn’t mean she had slept with him…right? She prayed that her friend hadn’t. With her past failed relationships, Starr was determined to be celibate until she meant the man of her dreams, her future husband. It would be a crying shame to see years of being celibate go to waste if she’d slept with a man she’d picked up from God knows where, and in Vegas of all places.
She didn’t even want to bring up getting tested for sexually transmitted disease if she had slept with mystery man. It would have to wait until later, once Starr had gotten herself fully together.
Hunching her shoulders, she whispered, “I think so.” This was so humiliating admitting to her best friend that overnight she’d become a whore, a slut, a tramp. What would people think once this all got out. It was bad enough that her best friend and her husband knew.
“You think you did?” Oh no, please no.
With shame, Starr hung her head. “Yes. I’m a little sore,” lifting her gaze to meet Summer’s, she pointed, “down there.”
Dropping her face into her hands, she shook her head from side to side. “What am I going to do?” She muffled out to her friend between her fingers.
This was heavy. One of the people she loved most in this world was hurting so bad she had acted out of character and irresponsible. And as a result, she may have to suffer some very harsh consequences. At a loss for eloquent words, she told Starr the plain truth. “I don’t know. But we’ll figure it out.”
Chapter 9
He was wearing the carpet out, pacing back and forth. Finally, he said, “Let me get this straight, because I’m not understanding something.” He couldn’t believe he was having this conversation. “You picked Starr up last night.”
“Uh-huh.”
“And she’d been drinking...so you brought her back to her room and banged her brains out.” He gritted out between clenched teeth.
Kevin winced from Nick’s accusing words and the menacing stare he was pinning him down with. It wasn’t exactly like that. He was making it sound as if Kevin had taken advantage of her. As if he’d dragged her by the hair caveman style back to her hotel room.
“Come on Nick, man, that’s not how it went down. I mean she wasn’t that drunk. Hell, she knew what she was doing. She invited me here!” Kevin shouted in his defense. As a matter of fact, she was the one who had seduced him! But he wasn’t about to
