It Started with a BET

Chapter Thirty-seven

Triple updates today because I'm excited ☺️.

Bryson's POV ;-)

"Ahh!" I groaned, my head was a battle ground so moving as fast as I did was the worst thing ever.

"Yes baby I love you so much"

"Shit!" I sat up so fast that I can swear I felt my head fall off.

"Oww fuck!"

There was a glass of water and a tablet on the bed side table, I hurried to take it not caring what particular pill it was.
There was a note.

Hope your head doesn't hurt much?
I hope you love the mark?
Nice tattoos too:-)
Xoxo
You know who.

I looked down, I was shirtless and only wearing my briefs.
"Fuck!" I cursed, I couldn't really remember who I was with, I remember seeing Zemela but knowing the type of pill I took I knew it was all an illusion. I could also remember seeing a girl that looked like Skyler the bitch.

She kissed you

"Ewww" I grimaced, not wanting to think about any of it.

I managed to reach the restroom without losing my head.

"Fuck!" I punched the mirror at the sight of the purple mark on my neck, shoulder and chest.
"No!no!no!....it can't be" I assured myself.

I didn't know what happened between Skyler and I but, I was sure it wasn't anything leading to a hickey.

I left the hotel room feeling pessimistic about the whole situation.

I dialed Nolan in the Uber

"My God! I almost thought you were kidnapped" he sighed relieved.

"I was" I said.
"By who? Fauna?" He joked.
"I'm serious man! I woke up in an unknown hotel room-cheap hotel"

"I also woke up on an unknown bed, beside three sexy chicks" he laughed, "I had a wild night!"

"Mine was scary. I remember seeing Skyler"
"No!" He laughed.
"No jokes man, I saw Zemela too"

"I don't know what happened" I paused, "I'm hopeful"
"Maybe it was Zemela you saw"
"She wasn't allowed out of her house and besides we're kinda not talking. She hasn't picked my calls"

"I behaved like a dick when we met" I told him.
"You know where she works, go and talk to her"
I scratched my head, I paid the driver before saying, "I don't know man"

"Wednesday is too far" he said, "man up and claim your bitch!"
"Not my bitch, she's not my bitch" I stressed.
"Whatever you say" he chuckled.

"Talk to you later" I ended the call.

After a quick shower and two cups of coffee and almost a litre of water, I headed out to Mateo's cafe.

She was behind the counter wearing her regular work t-shirt.

"Hi" I smiled.
"What would you like?" She asked acting all formal.
"You" I closed my eyes regretting my choice of words, "no...emmm...I mean...I need to talk to you" I stuttered.

Since when did I start stuttering?

"I'm at work" she said busying herself with the register.
"When is your break today?"
"Passed"

"I won't take much of your time"
"I can't" she dismissed.

"If you have nothing to order please leave the counter" she said walking into the "staff only' door.
