Limits
My feet ached. My ankles were swollen. I held my shoes in my hands as we departed from the limo. I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Lucy had thrown up all over herself. A rank odor permeated the limo. Green liquid drenched her side and the vehicle’s seats and floor.
“I’m s-so sorry,” Lucy cried as the chauffer carried her to the mansion’s entrance. Her red hair stuck to half of her face. Her lipstick was smeared across her cheeks and chin.
“Just drink lots of water and call in sick tomorrow so you can rest.” I tiptoed behind them. The cool grass tickled my feet. “In fact, don’t worry about calling. I’ll tell Chase.”
“You really know how to party,” Wendy slurred behind me. “I haven’t danced that much in years.”
“Then we should do this every week.” I yawned and paused so she could catch up with me. “Once a week we’ll go out and party.”
“And we’ll make sure Lucy doesn’t drink too much.” Wendy stumbled and fell face-first onto the ground. “Or me either.”
I scrunched my face up in horror and sprinted her way.
Grass and dirt stuck to her forehead. She rolled over and cackled. The noise rose in the air and spread across the front of the estate.
I was sure we’d woken up Chase and Dawn. As soon as the thought charged to my brain, an ache slammed against my stomach.
Chase and Dawn.
I’d been forcing myself to not think about them or what they were doing while we danced at the bar.
Was he cuddling with her and whispering how this night was so perfect, like he’d told me on the plane? Had they made love? Did he already forget about the nights we’d shared in Paris?
“What’s wrong?” Wendy stopped laughing. “Are you alright?”
I nodded and extended my hand to her. “This is just weird for me. Usually after a fun night I call my boyfriend and talk for a while about our day, but that’s not really an option in this situation.”
Wendy frowned. “No. We’re not supposed to contact or spend time with him on other women’s nights. It protects us all.”
“I can see that.”
“And to make sure no one’s feelings are hurt, Chase never spends the night.”
I wrinkled my forehead. “Oh really?”
