chapter 13 drunk night
MAV
I sat behind the bar hiding. Sat there watching Britt dancing to music. She never admits it but she loves to dance though she is a terrible dancer.
Whenever she use to be alone and if music is playing which is almost always, you can catch her dancing if you are lucky. I use to hide to see her dancing when she use to cook in the kitchen or when cleaning. I have many videos I made without her consent. Britt dancing on Macarena and doing all steps wrong, in one trying to learn single lady steps, in one breaking jar when she slid to beat and hit the table, many others.
On the other hand watching her dancing her, in front of people, with people, is making me uncomfortable at many scales.
Taylor has already stopped those two boys who were trying to go near her. Thank god this club is empty. Otherwise, it would have been another "I was fired on my first day at job" story, after beating people.
Britt's dancing was okay, Maya got the idea, what was going on. After telling her in short she concluded I was a jerk and this was another bad break up story. She was upset to know that "the girl who comes to their bar once in while" lied to her about her name, seriously Ruby!
As if her dancing in the shortest dress ever made, was not enough to make me uncomfortable, Britt went down to sit and called Maya. Maya came back with her order.
"She wants something to drink," she said with a smile.
"Okay," I said with a shrug of the shoulder.
Maya picked a water bottle, then a tray, then a bottle of liquor.
"What does she want?" I asked in a panic.
"Water... And shots" she said with an eye roll.
"Britt and shots. The dangerous combination" Tay said.
Maya prepared her drink
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 6!
She asked for 6 shots of tequila.
How is this even possible last time I knew, she doesn't use to drink.
She had those 6 drinks in 10 minutes, in 10 minutes. surely she has built her stomach. And then she got up and fell down.
Yup, she is drunk.
"I will call a cab for her, though she lied to me," she said.
"Thank you," I said "I will see you tomorrow"
"I have a boyfriend Mav, sorry," Maya said
"He is going to be *manager* of this club," Taylor said, to which Maya smiled really big in excitement and Teddybear man looked attentive first time in hours
"Really?" Teddy Bear asked.
"Yes! See you both tomorrow" I said
We waited outside in Taylor's car, for a cab to come, Maya helped Britt sit in the cab and we followed her. Taylor won't stop smiling.
"What!?" I hissed
"It's like high school days following girls," he said and choose to keep quiet
The cab stopped at a road not so far from the club.
"Wait what's happening?" Taylor asked
"Like I would know," I said.
"She is getting off the cab Mav"
"But why? The cab driver is up to something?" I said
"Wait! Let see " Tay said
She stepped out and started to walk,
We parked our car and followed her.
What is wrong with her, she is so drunk, she can barely walk, by now her booze would be at the top. Why is she walking?
"What is she doing?" I said in frustration
"I don't know man, but she should not walk in this state and this place not looks so good," Taylor said
"I am going to stop her," I said when I saw Britt bending down to take off her heels.
"Yes you should," Tay said
We walked to her
"Britt where are you going?" I said she turned around and stepped back to support herself with the wall.
"Mav?" She said "I am... going... to think. And run" she slurred
"God she is drunk as fuck," Tay said
"What... How... It's you?" Britt said and sat down on road.
"HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?" She shouted.
I helped her get up on her feet, and she swings down, and history repeated itself.
The content of her stomach was on Taylor's shoes and leg. He gagged I held her tight by her waist and with another hand, I saved her hair.
"I.. Am.. Feeling sick" she said and before we could act bomb!
AGAIN ON TAYLOR
"Take her away from me," Tay said and gagged. It was hard to control my laugh.
I held her and took her to near to a tree where she puked to her satisfaction and then pass out. Taylor brought a water bottle.
"Why did she always do this to me? Why? Why?" He said.
"You go home and please to your home," I said and laughed to which he eye-rolled and kicked me very hard on my leg.
"Yeah I need to go but how will you take her?" He said, "where will you take her?"
"Stella's or her's?" I said
"It's past 3, take her to your home," he said
"My place?"
"Yeah look at her? Don't take her to her apartment. Plus it's a good chance, you can talk to her in the morning, she won't have a place to run away" he said with a smile. Which said "yes stupid idea"
"Okay I'll book a cab" I agreed I just want her 15minutes. At least she should listen to me. Because she is not giving me the time I am snatching it from her.
"Cab will be here in 20 minutes you go. And take bath" I said mocking him "Twice"
"Hahaha! Very funny. I am going to see you soon" He said and went.
I looked at the sleeping soul, hanging to me as if nothing has changed. 10 minutes pass by. I sat down on a roadside bench and made her lay down on the bench kept her head on my lap.
I looked at her, smudged eyeliner, pale skin, dried lips. She has lost weight, she felt very light. Even though she is not in her best state, she looked pretty.
It's been long I haven't seen those stars I use to see in her eyes, it's been long I haven't tasted these lips, I can't even remember when was the last time I had held her like this. Was she also use to see and look at the lost me when I use to come home drunk and wasted? So this is how it feels when you see your loved one lost yet they are physically in touch with you.
This is how far and hollow you feel when that one is lost because of you.
I felt my eye-watering up when Britt suddenly opens her eyes.
"I- need to--- go," she said in her slurred speech.
"Shhhhh... Stay still" I said.
"I-- want-- to go--" I said
"Where?" I asked her
"Up there," she said and pointed behind me up a staircase that goes up.
"Later Britt" and the cab came, I made her sit and picked her in my arms, she felt light, very light. And... She puked on me.
I made her sit back again and asked her
If she is feeling fine
"I fee--l si--ck" she said and passed out again.
I carry her and came back to my apartment. By the time we reached my place, she had puked 3 more times and we had to stop the car. Her clothes my clothes all soiled.
I came home by carrying her in my arms and managed to open the door somehow. Laid down her on the couch.
Then I had a debate with me regarding if it's okay to change her clothes or not.
But she was smelling terrible. So I decided to go with option one.
I went to the bathroom, pulled out my clothes changed into shorts, brought out a wet towel, pulled out a t-shirt, and a pair of boxers.
Unzipped her dress and she kept her face at the crook of my neck, which made me shiver, her breaths falling on my skin. I crease her back with my fingertips. To which she curved her back more and moaned at my neck... At my fucking neck. It felt good to feel her skin after ages. We were not hugging but practically it was a hug, so it felt like coming back home after a long tiring journey.
"No.. No.. No... Mav. Be a good ex-boyfriend" I said to myself. I wiped her back, and front with a towel and tried to ignore the fact that she was in very sexy black lingerie in front of me. It took all my power to stop myself from looking and touch her. Okay, I looked once or twice couldn't resist looking at this beautiful sexy angel. Plus couldn't ignore the fact that she was so skinny. I think she might have lost her size by 2.
After changing her clothes, I tugged her into bed.
"We will talk in morning Britt I am sorry," I said and kissed her forehead. I wanted to sleep with her on the bed. But at the same time, I didn't want to scare her so I Slept on the couch, just because I was tired so I slept.
I woke up by 10 when Britt started to murmur something in her sleep very loudly and very incoherent. I stood next to the bed and saw her sleeping. Her curls spread all over the pillow, her eyelids moving a little in her sleep, she mumbled something again which I couldn't understand. Then she turned to another side. I ignored the fact that her Tshirt was up to her boxers and I could see her waist. I smiled as how cute she looked like a cat. I decided to take a shower went to take a shower, a long cold shower.
By the time I came out of the shower, she was gone. And I laughed. She ran away again. She left me, I was all ready to ask for forgiveness, to ask for another chance, to talk and she went.
This time I planned to snatch 15 minutes from her and she ran away.
Hopeless I sat on my bed and picked the pillow, it smelled like her. Green Apples and vanilla. I smiled when her big eyes and brown hair came to my mind.
I called Tay
"Sup?" He asked me
"I went to take a shower, she was sleeping, I came out she vanishes," I told him
"Shit! She is acting like a heroine" he said in frustration
"She really hates me Tay and here I am sitting here with the pillow she used last night," I said
"You fine brother?" He asked
"No," I said to which he laughed.
"Don't be a bitch?" he said "see in 30 min?" he said and hung up
I called Stella and asked her to inform me. Tay came and we watched a movie.
Around 12 Stella called me and told me that Britt was home and safe.
I slept and Tay went to meet some girl. Stella called me again
"Sup?" I asked her
"She doesn't remember with whom she was a whole night"
"What?!"
"Yes!" She said
"She doesn't remember all she remembers is she was on her way to some park but the woke up in a psychopath's house who doesn't have sheets on and curtains... Seriously no sheets" she said and laughed.
"Hahaha I haven't got time for shopping," I said
"Thank you! You were there otherwise god knows what this girl would have done. On her normal alone party nights she comes home directly" she said with a heavy sigh
"Hmmm.. It's not safe. Is it all because of me Stella?" I asked her
"No Maverick. Give her some time, let her settle down with the fact that you both are under the same sky, let her accept the fact that she still wants you, till then I can be your girlfriend if you want," she said, her words worked like magic. I laughed and felt peace after really long. This old lady is becoming my favorite. Every word she said was right. After all, I am back in her life suddenly that too after years.
"Right," I said "let's give her some time"
"I need Taylor's contact number," she said suddenly
"Why?" I asked with a giggle
"I have to ask him out for a date," she said and laughed
I got up to get ready for my job. This night was the same as last night. I went through all the things. Got to understand how the club worked, what things need to be changed which is a lot. and what eas the biggest surprise that Teddy Bear looking boy's name is Ted!
Plus I need to find a new home, my current home is very far, this driving eat ups around 2 hours of my day. So I asked Tay to find a home for me.
He agreed to help me.
Rest two weeks went in a rush and busy, we worked on the club, made a plan, budget and decided decore, House hunting for me, And worked really hard on not to go and beg to Britt.
After 2 weeks of the drunk incident. Taylor called me to tell me he has found a house, and we can shift on Saturday. Thank god I didn't unpack the boxes. Now we just have to pick up boxes and vacant this place.
SATURDAY
I was standing in front of Britt's building. Confused.
"What!?" Tay asked in excitement.
"I am shifting in Britt's apartment building?" I asked this idiot I am deciding to kill any minute now "I gave you one work and that's what you do?" I shouted.
"Stella told me there is a vacant apartment here, close to workplace, mice, in the budget, next to Britt's," he said as he entered the building
"Stella told you?" I asked grinding my teeth
"Yes!" He said and I couldn't decide whom I have to kill first him or Stella.
When we entered the apartment. It was just next to Britt's
"If you guys patch up, all you have to do is break the wall," he said and laughed.
"If you don't want to die shut your mouth right now" he took the hint and helped me taking up the furniture I had for namesake.
After working, he played music really loud. I am not much of a full volume kind of person.
"Turn down the volume" I shouted.
"Time to announce the arrival," he said and turned the volume at full. His plan worked and after a minute Britt was at door.
He teased her, she shouted at him. Her voice told she was very angry. Which made me laugh, tiny Brittany, shouting and threatening a man who is almost double of her. I went out and she came in.
It was a view, Britt in bathrobe and flipflop, water dripping from her wet hair, angry and her pink nose and red ears, how can someone look good in a bathrobe? She looked at me with "I will kill you" look and orange juice she was holding was on Taylor's face. Shouted about her sleep. His voice cracked as she said it. She must be tired and we have definitely disturbed her.
She went back shouting and mumbling something, and I punched Tay. Shouting from next door came continuously. And Taylor kept an ear to hear what she was saying. Taylor has started a war!
"I did my job, now you both have a wall in between you. Find out how you are going to break it" he said and sat down on the couch.
THESE PEOPLE WANTS BRITT TO KILL ME I AM FUCKING SURE.
I AM SO CLOSE TO HER, BUT IF THIS WILL AFFECT HER, I WILL GO AWAY.
