The alcohol didn't hit me until i sat down to dinner. I felt odd. I was either laughing a little too hard and too loud or sitting motionless staring transfixed. I ordered too much food. I wasn't going to eat it, but i ordered it anyway. When my hot tea arrived i poured the rest of the booze i had brought into it and finally started to tune into what everyone was talking about.
"Katie was traumatized by what she saw on her phone." Oh fuck. I know this story. Why are they talking about this? I don't want to hear it. But i have to pretend like oblivious to it. "Everyone knows their dating, I don't know why they deny it. Ive asked her and she still denies it," Edgar laughs. "Well they did at one point who knows if they still are," Matt adds. Yeah they still are. I know its official but i sit in silence staring at my food. Jess gives me a look, she knows something is up and I just shove food into my mouth to silence the scream that almost escaped.
I need to forget that any of it ever happened. I need a distraction. He was my distraction. Too good of a distraction i guess. Well job done, now i need a new distraction... Why is everybody getting up?
"Come on Paulina." Its Jess. "We're going to the movies." I pour the rest of my drink back into the cup i brought and get up.
"So what are we going to do now Jess?" "I dont know. What do you guys want to do guys?" "Movies?" Yeah movies" I dont want to watch a movie. "Hotel?" Jess says. A light goes of in my head. That sounds like a perfectly deviant idea. "Lets go," I smile grabbing her arm. Looks like tonight is going to be a perfect distraction.
