Chapter: 14 Back to Reality

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I waltz into work the next day, feeling very good. I even have a bounce in my step. Drake eyes me. He walks up and I just grin at him.

"Ok what happened?" He asks.

I look at my friend, my green eyes sparkling. "Oh, Nothing." I say.

"Dude your acting like a love struck teenage priss. 'Fess up." He says.

I look around. Nobody is in sight. I push Drake into my office and lock the door. "Ok, brace yourself. I just had the best sex in my entire life two nights ago." I admit.

Drake looks at me with a look of disgust. "Dude! You dragged me in here to tell me you fucked Rose and you actually LIKED it?!" He asks.

I pale. I completely forgot about Berkeley! Not good. "No it wasn't with Rose." I say quietly.

Drake looks at me, his eyes wide. "You just cheated on him!" He yells.

I collapse into my chair. "Oh shit. This is so not good." I say.

Drake sits on the edge of my desk. "So since this person was such a good lay, who the hell was it?" He asks.

"It wasn't not a lay. It will never be a lay."

He eyes me. "What are you tal-"

"I was with Ryo."

Drakes eyes widen. "Wow. That…How the hell did this come about?" He asks.

"Well he was at Carol's and I offered him a place to sleep. Well…we get back to my place and we got to talking and he told me he stilled loved me and one thing lead to another and we made love." I explain.

Drake whistles. "Well, Layntner, you've got yourself a big ass problem." He says.

"What the hell am I gonna do?" I ask.

"You gotta choose who's best for you." He says. "And in my opinion, I think you need to choose Ryo."

Oooooo

I can't focus on my paperwork. I've been tempted to call up Ryo just to hear him talk. Just to hear his voice. I know he's been gone a day but I can't help feel the way I do. I hate to admit it, but I will never be able to move on from him. I know he's my true love.

The door swings open. Berkeley comes in grinning. My stomach flops and I force a smile. "Hey, Berkley. What's up?" I ask.

He comes up to me for a kiss and I hesitantly kiss him. I feel so disgusted in myself. His tongue slides into my mouth. His saliva is sour to me now. I feel like I'm going to be sick.

Berk breaks away and looks me in the eyes. His eyes are full of curiosity. "Is something wrong, Dee?" He asks.

"I'm not feeling too well." I lie. Actually, I'm not really lying. I do feel like I'm gonna vomit.

He puts a hand to my forehead. "Your not warm. Why don't you take a break." He says.

I nod and I try to escape him. I look suspicious but I can't help it. I feel dirty. I've cheated on Berkeley. I know it was for a good cause but…NO! There is no good reason to cheat on your lover!

I head to the door to escape my office. Escape my haunting guilt.

00000000

I walk into my apartment and walk over to my daybed. I lay down and groan. I rub my eyes. This totally sucks. Rose has to sense something.

I look out the window. The sun is setting behind a few buildings. I close my eyes. What am I gonna do? The phone rings and I run to my room. I lounge to it. I look at the caller ID. It's Ryo.

I'm fighting with all my might NOT to pick up the phone and talk to him. I NEED avoid both of them right now. I sit down on my bed and stare at the answering machine.

"Yo. It's the Dee-miester. Need to talk, leave a message. I'll call you back if your ACTUALLY worth it. Later." The machine rambles with my voice.

It beeps twice. "Hey Dee. Its Ryo. I guess your at work. I was kinda missing you. I don't know if Rose told you or not but your coming upstate for some work in a few weeks or something…" Ryo rambles. My eyes widen at the new information. Rose never told me that! "…kky told me if you come up that you weren't aloud to violate me or he'll kick your ass." He laughs. "I really wish you where home. I need a good chat. Well call me when you get this message. I love you." He says and the message ends.

I lay down on my bed and rewind the tape. I press the 'play' button and soak up Ryo's voice. Some part in my mind kinda wishes Ryo wasn't back, but a part right next to it wishes I never hooked up with Berk. But it's not what my brain wants, it's what my heart wants.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Authors Note: Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating for so long. I just haven't been in the mood to type. I've got massive things going on in my life. Updating my stories is the LEAST of my worries. I've got total drama. I had to force myself to sit my arse down to type this up. I don't have a clue where to go from here. I wanted something to happen but I really don't want it to happen. I was gonna have a Lime scene with Berk and Dee but I don't want that anymore. I NEED IDEAS! Help!!! So tell me where this should go. Later.
