Dangerous words

Hi everyone haven't posted in a very long time. Here's a little something for now hopefully I'll be able to post more soon.

Disclaimer: don't own the characters.

Chapter 1

"Oh for god sake Nat smile. It's my birthday; we are in the hottest club in Miami, with cocktails with the cute little umbrellas. We should be having fun. " Maxine said waving her arms exaggeratedly above her head.

"Sorry Max. I'm just not in the party mood" she spoke to Maxine but her eyes never left Calleigh. Calleigh sighed and put her cocktail down onto the table, getting fed up with the atmosphere surrounding them "What's your problem with me? You've been a total bitch to me all day"

"The problem is my boyfriend said your name last night!" She spat out. Calleigh was taken aback by her outburst; confusion crossing her features. Calleigh couldn't quite comprehend what Natalia had said "what?"

"Eric. Last night, during sex. He said your name..."

"And you're upset with me about this..."

"Yes. How long..." Calleigh realised where she was taking this argument and tried to stop it before it went too far "Now stop there. Me and Eric have been over for months. I swear there is nothing..."

"Save it. He obviously still has feelings for you. We all know he'd only have to say the word and you would jump straight back on his cock"

"Nat...!"

"You're a fucking slut" her words were slurred from the many drinks that had past her lips but they didn't lose any of their venom

"I've done nothing wrong, and I don't have to listen to this" she garbed her bag and made her way to the exit not wanting to listen to anything else that came from her drunken lips.

"Well that was totally uncalled for" Maxine said in a state of shock from the scene that had just played out in front of her.

"So what, my boyfriend says her name in bed and I'm just supposed to be happy about it?"

"No of course not, but that was Eric not Calleigh. She is one of the most loyal people I know and you should have know better than to think she would do something like that" she to grabs her bag.

"Where you going?" Nat asked, guilt starting to take hold.

"To make sure she's okay, and to make sure she can get home. Something tells me that she won't be too keen on sharing a taxi with you on the way back" As Maxine disappeared into the crowd Natalia sunk back into her chair the realisation of what she had actually accused Calleigh of weighing heavy on her shoulders.

Calleigh heard Maxine calling after her and turned around "I'm sorry Max. Don't let this ruin your birthday, go back have a good night"

"How you getting home? It's pretty obvious that you're not going to want to share with Nat. Are you okay? She was totally out of order in there" she could see the hurt that crossed her face in the club and she could still she the hurt in her eyes now, but even though it was visible she knew Calleigh would brush it off and say that she was fine. Calleigh simply nodded and replied that she would call a taxi. "I'll wait with you"

"Actually Max I'd rather be on my own. Think about things...try and get things straight in my own mind" There was a moment of silence between the pair as Maxine studied Calleigh. "I don't want to leave you out here alone"

"Max..." Calleigh gave a small smile and embraced her friend "I'll be fine. Go enjoy your night" she let go and slowly started to walk away.

Okay so a short chapter with a lot of dialog. Chapter two is where the action starts. Please review.
