Chapter 3
She mentally groaned as she felt his rough lips kissing her shoulder and her neck as she desperately tried to fein being asleep in order to contemplate what to do next. However, the only thing that came into her mind was, well, nothing of any use anyway. "Oh. Oh m-m-my God!" She stuttered, overwhelmed with panic.
Hector, on the other hand, continued to kiss along her shoulder and slowly edged towards her fragile collar bone. Nikki groaned, trying to move out of his firm, masculine grasp. Hector realised Nikki wasn't in the mood and stopped kissing her. Instead, he lifted her chin up slowly so Nikki had no choice but to give him eye-contact. Swimming with tears, her eyes slowly locked with his. Nikki honestly didn't know what she was supposed to feel.
Hector looked at her sympathetically, "I'm just going to go and have a shower." He whispered, knowing that Nikki needed to be on her own for a bit. He slowly got off the bed and walked brusquely towards Nikki's on-suite. Staring into space, Nikki finally let the tears pour out of her eyes as she curled up into a ball. 'How could I be so stupid, I'm going to ruin everything with Vix' she thought. She heard the sound of water running out of the shower head and the shower door closing. Now she was alone; wether this was better or not, Nikki didn't know. She slowly rocked, as if in a trance, her mind completely consumed in shame at the cheat she had become.
Now shaking, she thought back to the time when her and Vix first met. She looked so beautiful and when she said that she 'didn't know that Sue had such sexy colleagues' it caused warmth to rush through Nikki's very core. That accent. It was one of the sexiest things that Nikki had ever heard. Well the second sexiest voice. Lorraine's was the best that by miles, but she couldn't deny that Vix Spark was one of a kind, an extremely rare find. Nikki was grateful to have Vix in her life. She filled those empty, lonely nights with joy and comfort. Nikki didn't want to lose her. She knew she could no longer have Lorraine, she didn't even know where she lived anymore. Maybe she'd found someone else. Nikki doubted it though, she'd probably singlehandedly put her off relationships for life.
Suddenly, she felt arms wrap tightly around her in a comforting way as Hector spooned her from behind. He softly stroked her dark hair off her face, "Everything's gonna be fine, sweetheart" he soothed. For some reason, this only made Nikki cry and shake even harder. "But I love Vix" she half spoke, half shouted, trying to convince herself that this was the case. Hector wasn't sure if she was talking to herself or him so he just nodded his head against her, "I know you do, darling. I'm sorry that i got between you two. I'll keep away from you both. I-if that's erm what you want?" He asked Nikki gently, rubbing small, tender circles on her thighs with his other hand. Unknown to the likes of Simon, Hector cared deeply about Nikki and completely respected her. He felt so bad about what they'd done. He hated to see Nikki so broken.
Without warning, Nikki quickly sprinted to the on-suite to empty the alcoholic contents of her stomach. She sat slumped over the toilet, with even more tears in her eyes, her stomach completely tied in knots with the guilt of betraying Vix and the ridiculously large amount of alcohol she'd drank only a few hours previously. Although Nikki refused to tell herself it was never going to work with Vix, she never intended to betray her, or anyone for that matter, she wasn't that type of person. This only gave her another sign that she isn't in love with the brunette.
Hector cautiously made his way into the bathroom. His heart broke seeing Nikki like this. It was all his fault. He didn't know what to do or how to comfort her so he just held her hair back from her face and whispered soothing comments in her ear. This didn't seem to work for long though as Nikki quickly changed her mind about accepting his comfort.
"Please just go. I'm sorry." Nikki told Hector in-between retching, still hung over the toilet seat. "But you're not well" he pleaded with her "come on Nik-"
"I said go! Now, just go. I c-can't deal w-with this!" She began to get angry as the consequences of what she'd done sank in. She'd realised she didn't deserve Vix. And she'd messed about with Hector's feelings. She knew Vix truly had feelings for her and she still continued to act like she felt the same. Vix deserved someone better, someone who cared for her in a way that Nikki now knew she never could.
