Victoria woke up with a killer headache. Memories came flashing back. How she threw red wine at Alice. Graham pissed and disgusted of her behavior. How she flirted with random guys in the club. Panicked, unable to tell if she should trust her memory, she picked up the phone.
“Mandy, please tell me what happened last night!”
“Oh, it’s you? Keshy, pick-up the phone, Vicky is on the line. Obviously she’s got another convenient memory lost.”
Keshia and Mandy had been roommates for years. Before Victoria moved with Graham she was living with the girls in a big apartment at the heart of downtown. For whatever reason, Mandy didn’t want to speak with Vicky. Keshy picked up the phone.
“Hey Vicky, Mandy is pretty pissed right now. I’d be too if I were her. I’m guessing you told her you can’t remember?”
“Well, not exactly, it’s pretty vague. I did throw a glass of red one at Alice, right?”
“Oh yes, you did. And Graham was anything but happy. I’d say he was furious…anything else comes to mind?”
“Gary?” Said Victoria in a soft desperate voice.
“Yes, Gary…you were all over him after Graham left. You even kissed him.”
Vicky wanted to die; it wasn’t all a bad dream. She had kissed Graham’s best friend.
“You told Mandy to beat it when she confronted you. Gary was really nice. He let me take care of you and he went to speak to her. Apparently you and him have a history. Mandy wouldn’t tell me more, she’s very pissed but also more mysterious than usual.”
“That can’t be good, what is she planning? I trust you would tell me if you knew. Wouldn’t you?”
“Of course, Vicky. Listen, I have to leave. You take care of yourself and I’ll let you know as soon as I know more.”
Keshia felt bad but she had to lie. Somehow she felt more loyalty towards Mandy than Victoria. She promised she wouldn’t tell Mandy’s secret until she chose to. It wasn’t her decision to make. Victoria had excluded herself from their circle with her behavior.
Vicky couldn’t find one good reason why Keshia would want to hang up so fast. It could only be bad news. Especially with Mandy being pissed. So what, she had kissed Gary when she knew she liked him and told her she didn’t stand a chance. The guy was an idiot anyways. Yet she knew she’d have to apologize. What made her more desperate is knowing she'd have to apologize to Graham and Alice as well. Alcohol had definitly gotten her into trouble the previous night.
The doorbell rang. A delivery guy was standing at the door with a huge bouquet of roses.
“Delivery for Miss Victoria Lane. Three dozen roses”
Victoria quickly read the card. The roses were from Gary Sloane…Now what was happening exactly?
