Chapter Four
She closed her eyes and let the hot water scald her pale white skin, turning red and burning like crazy. What was she doing with herself? She was falling into the aimless trap of what? Reuniting with Logan after he broke her heart, and never heard from him again till now? Happily engaged to an old friend of hers? What was she to do? How could she even entertain the idea? How could he drop down to his level and even considering on cheating with him? She went that path already, and she broken Dean and Lindsay up! She needed a drink and fast!
She turned off the hot water, and put her robe on, and heading out to her bedroom. Happy to hear the doorbell ring, and glanced at the clock on her bedside table. Midday already?
"Hold on a minute!" she told the person on the other end of the door. She eyes the peep hole, and was relieved to see the small brown eyes brunette.
"Rachel!" she hugged her best friend to her tightly, needing to feel arms that cared for her deeply.
"OMG, your skin Rory!" she eyed her friends skin. Her face and arms looked like it was on fire, it must off really hurt.
"Oh it's nothing!" she dismisses, and walks to her bedroom to get changed, before her friend tried to get the truth out of her reckless stupidity or scalding herself on purpose.
"So how did last night go?"
"It was… well how do I put it? I had a confrontation with Logan…"
"Where was his fiancée when all this took place?"
"We were on the balcony, Paris had rang me to see how things were going"
"Yeah? How is the woman?"
"She's doing great! But OMG Rach! Logan… we talked about him asking me to marry him all those years ago. And he said that I didn't want to marry him. And I said that I did, just not when he wanted. Then I tried to walk away, but he grabbed me. And he said for me not to walk away. And I said 'funny choice of words' and I walked off. Leaving him as stunned as a mullet"
"OMG are you okay? How are you feeling" she asked her with such concern through her voice.
"I'm doing okay" she lied, glad that she was still in the other room. "But then I had just arrived home, and was about to enter the elevator, when I received a message off him, saying that he missed me. I haven't replied! I don't think I will!"
"What a creep! His like engaged to be married to Alisha Waverly! And come to think of it… she looks slightly similar to you" she pointed out to her. "Brown hair, blue eyes, same kind of body type… looks to me that he found a replacement"
"Oh God! I need a drink! Got any more Chateau?" Rory re-enters the room, finding Rachel lying on the couch comfortably, looking out the window.
"Another bottle! I drained the other one after you left!"
"OMG why? Is something wrong? Here I am detailing my horrible night, and you are going through something as well!" she apologised to her friend.
"I got a message from him last night! He wants to meet sometime today, at the usual place!"
"Oh No! Don't let him bring you back into the trap!" Rory gasped at her friend.
"I think we need to take this conversation back to my place!" Rachel eyed the door, pulling Rory to the door.
"Great idea! Chateau my friend!" she called out as they closed the door to Rory's apartment and opened Rachel's one.
"Yes our dear friend, come grace us with your presence!" they both laughed, while Rachel grabbed the bottle out of the fridge, and Rory grabbed two goblets from the cupboard.
"Great team work sister!" Both women held their hands for a high-fived and falling on the couch in a fit of giggles.
"So whatare we going to do? We are young hot, beautiful, twenty something's, who are working our dream jobs, fantastic apartments in NEW YORK CITY of all places, got loads of money to burn! And we are here, moping about our ex-boyfriends, who want to mess around with us again?"
"God you kinda make us sound pathetic Rory!"
"We are single babes! Successful single females! We should own it!" she said with such confidence in her voice!
"Cheer's to 'owning it'!" the two woman clanked their goblet's and took a big drink out of it.
"Well also while I was in bed, I was thinking of having an icebreaker party! Invite everyone we know, and make a night of it? What do you think?"
"I think that is a fantastic idea! But where will we have it?"
"Well I was thinking, hire a hall! Between us we could fill an entire hall with everyone we know!"
"Yes… Yes! Brilliant plan Rach!" the two woman clinked their glasses again, draining their drinks completely, and pouring some more.
They spent the week inviting everyone in their phonebooks, mobiles, email, Facebook, co-workers, web pages. Everything they could think of. Rachel booked the hall, while Rory organised the catering and drinks of all kinds. It was going to be a fabulous night!
Question to anyone that wants to have an opinion on chapter five?
Two questions I put two you all:
Who should Rachel and Rory end up with?
(DEF not Logan, his out, but there will be interaction between the two.)
Who should Rachel's ex, that has been texting her?
