Seth felt like crap. The hangover in itself was bad but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was waking up next to Becky. He had cheated on his girlfriend Vanilla with Becky. Not because he wanted to. Because Becky had blackmailed him into it. In a weird, twisted way he had done it for Vanilla. To keep her safe.
"This is it, right? It was only this one time, right?" Seth asked.
"Relax, loverboy," Becky grinned. "She'll never know."
"Give me your phone," he said.
"What do you need that for?" She asked teasingly.
"You know why!" He growled. "You promised to delete that video if I slept with you."
She walked over to stand next to him so he could watch the video being deleted. A video of Vanilla and her ex boyfriend having sex. He had no idea if Vanilla even knew she had been taped or how Becky got her hands on that video, but Becky threatened to leak it and ruin Vanilla's reputation and career in the process.
"Happy now?" Becky smirked evilly.
Knocking sounded on the hotel door and he jumped in fear. He didn't want anyone to know he was in her room.
"Just a second!" She yelled.
She chuckled and looked at him.
"No need to be scared. I ordered room service. They're gonna leave it out there. I ordered enough for the both of us if you would like to stay," she said.
"I'm getting the fuck out of here," he said.
"Suit yourself," she said.
He walked over to the door and opened it. There was no room service waiting out there. Instead he looked into the surprised and confused face of his girlfriend Vanilla. Becky hadn't ordered room service. She had asked Vanilla to come to her room.
Vanilla's straight, white hair hang loose and framed her varm, honey brown eyes. Her confused look quickly turned into a painful one. She didn't need to ask. She knew what was up.
"You told me you went home to visit your brother," Vanilla said.
"I know," Seth said.
"Hi, Vanilla," Becky appeared next to Seth. "Sorry, we never meant to hurt you but isn't it better the truth is out there?"
"Keep him," Vanilla said.
Vanilla ran back to the elevator. Seth stood frozen for a second until he felt Becky touch his arm. He pushed her away and stormed to the staircase and down the stairs. He unlocked the hotel room that he was supposed to share with Vanilla and went inside. She was in the process of closing her suitcase.
"Vanilla," he said lowly.
"I'm in a hurry. I need to get to the arena," she said.
"We need to talk," he said.
"You fucked her!" She shouted.
Silence followed for five long seconds where they just stared at each other.
"You're not even gonna deny it?" She asked.
"No," he answered.
"I can't believe I ever loved you," she said.
She grabbed her suitcase and walked past him.
"Vanilla, please," he said.
"Why, Seth?" She stared at him. "Tell me why I'm not enough."
"You are. You're everything to me," he said.
"Clearly not," she said.
"Does it matter why I did it? I'm sorry. We can work through this," he said.
She sneered at him. There was a lot of unpleasant things she would like to scream at his face in that moment but he didn't deserve anymore of her attention. She was going to leave him cold and alone with his own thoughts and guilt.
"Keep the hotel rooms we already booked. I'll figure out something else," she said.
"So that's it? We're over? Just like that?" He asked.
"Yes, just like that," she answered. "You got yourself to thank for that."
