บท 7: Chapter 7
The doorbell downstairs rang and Violet looked at the console. It was Sophia.
"Violet James if you do not open this door I will come in and you will not like what I will do. I brought breakfast too" She smiled as she raised the bag full of food and Violet smiled. She opened the door and Sophia came upstairs and opened the door. Her eyes widened as she entered.
"Damn girl your apartment looks like shit."
"I know. But you said you brought breakfast?" She sniffed and smiled at her. Sophia looked at her "I saw your mother on my way out. She didn't look very happy. Have you been crying? Come on Vi no more tears"
"It's just...." She started but was stopped and Sophia hugged her tightly.
"I know sweetie, it's gonna be okay" She stroked her hair. "Now my love, I'm going to take the day off from the hospital and I am gonna stay here with you. We'll watch a movie and do whatever you want". Violet sniffed and nodded. "Now let me make a call and you put our breakfast on plates"
"Sure" She cleaned the tears from her eyes and took the bag and headed to the kitchen. The doorbell rang again.
"Hey Sophia, could you help me with the door? If it's my mum just don't answer" Sophia looked at the console and smiled.
"Violet?"
"Yeah," She answered from the kitchen.
"Your one-night stand guy is here"
"What!? No! How did he find me? Don't let him in"
"Too late he is on his way up"
"I am so going to kill you Sophia he can't see me like this. I look like shit. My apartment looks like shit."
"Yes, I agree" Sophia nodded.
"You know what,you are answering that door when he gets here" . There was a knock on the door.
"No, I am not. It is your apartment Violet meaning you should answer the door"
"No no no Sophia you did this to me now you take care of it" Violet ran into her bedroom peering out.
"I will do no such thing. You had sex with him I think how you look right now is irrelevant" she whispered so Chris wouldn't hear on the other side of the door.He knocked again.
"No, I did not Sophia and I cannot face him right now so you have to help me Sophia" Violet whispered back. "Sophia, please help me. Be my best friend right now." She said with pleading eyes.
"Wait, what do you mean you didn't sleep with him?"
"I'll explain after you get the door, he's been knocking a while he's gonna get suspicious. You already let him in". Sophia sighed and walked to the door "You owe me Violet" She opened the door.
"Hi sorry am I at the right place? Is this Violet's apartment?"
"Uhm yes it...it... is" She stammered and smiled nervously and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Is she here? I'm Chris" He stretched his hand and Sophia took it.
"Yes, I remember you from the club. What are you doing here?"
"Violet left her jacket at my place so I thought about returning it. I wanted to give it to her personally if possible"
"Right she's…" Sophia trailed off looking around thinking of a lie "She is indisposed at the moment"
"I could wait for her it's not a problem"
"No no no." Sophia said panicking "She is taking a shit. Like one of the huge ones. Everything is just coming out. She is going to be there for a while. Food poisoning and what stuff"
"I'm sorry to hear about that. Could you let her know that I dropped by?" He handed Sophia the jacket.
"I definitely will." She took it from him.
"If you don't mind I'd like to leave my number so she could give me a call"
"Sure." She went into the apartment and got a paper and pen and handed it to him. "Out of curiosity, how did you find this place?"
"Well it's kind of weird but I had to call the Uber company she left my place with and then asked for the driver that picked her up. Then I looked for him and bribed him with my Rolex to tell me where she lived. And now that I'm saying all this out loud, I realize how creepy it sounds."
"Well, it's not as bad as you think actually. I think it's romantic"
"That's what I was going for" He handed her the paper "That is my home and work address"
"I'll make sure she gets it."
"Thank you. Take care Sophia" He walked away.
"You too Chris" She shut the door. Sophia shut the door and Violet emerged from the bedroom.
"Food poisoning? That is what you came up with?"
"Yes." She handed her the page with the number.
"And you took his number? Why? I'm not calling him back," she said, collecting the paper.
"Why? Wait, you have to tell me what happened between you guys that night."
"Things would have been better if I slept with him"
"Why? What could be so bad?"
"I vomited"
"What?! How? Why? Details"
"Well… we got to his apartment and we started to make out and I started to feel anxious so I asked him to, you know, go up and maybe set the mood or something because I was nervous. I took a bottle of scotch from his bar and drank half of it and walked out all pumped. I have never had so much to drink in my life. So, I went up to his room and everything was set. He had 'this way' by Khalid on and everything was perfect. We started to make out and he lifted me and laid me slowly on the bed I started feeling funny and I ran to the bathroom and started to vomit. I was wasted. What was worse I started telling him about Matt and how this was my first one-night stand and how I spent my entire life living for Matt and everything. He finally carried me to the bed and put me in it"
"Wow. That is the worst and most hilarious story I had ever heard in my life" Sophia said in-between laughs.
"Stop laughing, it was the worst thing that has ever happened to me."
"Look at this from the other side he decided to find out where you live after what seems to be the worst experience and that is extremely romantic. And his handwriting is impeccable"
"I am never calling him. His handwriting is nice"
"Come on now you have to give it to him, he did look for you after that horrible and embarrassing experience. It means he's a nice guy."
"I am not calling him and that's final" Violet stood up and picked the plates from the kitchen counter to the sink. She looked at the number again. She shoved it in the pocket of her shorts.

"This is the third time you're getting me late from ballet practice," Mabel complained. "I had to sit through a long boring talk where creepy Stacy was trying to tell me the different types of vegetables and her breath was terrible," She said as Chris strapped her in her car seat.
"I'm so sorry I had to get some things done in the office. I'll make up for it I promise and I'll never pick you up late again" Chris turned on the car.
"I've spent a week with you and you're boring Chris. All you do is work work work" Mabel rolled her eyes.
"Look Mabel, it's not easy to do my job you know. I have a lot of stores to manage."
"Your place is boring too. I don't care, I want to go back to live with grandma." She folded her arms and leaned into her chair with force pouting.
"Okay, what do you like doing with Grandma?" Chris asked.
She was quiet at first then she turned around with her face lit and looked at him as he tried to look at the road and her simultaneously.
"Okay we cook together, we watch movies together, today is Friday we go to Chuck E Cheese for their wings. It's a tradition"
"Okay then we'll go there but I've got to stop at the office real quick to get something"
"Not your boring office"
"My office isn't boring it's pretty cool you know"
"No, it's not"
"Okay we'll see when we get there now won't we?"
