A smile grew on his friend’s face. “The best.”
They sat down to eat. Boris made ham and cheese melts since Nikolai missed breakfast
“You going to see her again tonight?”
Boris raised an eyebrow. “I thought we were leaving?”
“I never said when we’d leave.”
“You never stay anywhere more than a couple of days while you’re off playing.” Boris narrowed his eyes. “Do you fancy that girl? The one in blue from last night?”
Nikolai nodded. No use in lying to the man who knew him better than he knew himself. “I do.”
“Did you make plans with her?”
“No.”
“Why the hell not?”
Nikolai shrugged. Boris grinned.
“You’re kinda fucked up over her, aren’t you?”
Nikolai stood and left the room leaving his friend's laughter echoing behind him.

She was uncomfortable as hell, the room was bright, and she was hungry. “Fuck.”
“You know how it goes. Takes a couple of days.” Babs sat in a nearby chair.
“Where am I?” She glanced down at a pair of worn sweat pants and a large t-shirt adorning her body.
“Dane’s place. It was closer, you fell asleep on the way home. This is his spare bedroom, he fixed it up last month.”
She glanced around at the unfamiliar room; it looked nothing like the last time she’d been there. “Wow, it’s gorgeous.”
“Right?”
“I’m starving.”
“Dane went to get breakfast. Go wash up. I’ll meet you in the living room.” Her friend seemed off, but she chalked it up to a late night and an early morning.
After a quick shower, she met up with her friends around the kitchen table. “Dane, that room is to die for.”
“Thank you, love.” His answer was sweet, but something was off with him too.
She sat and pulled some food onto her plate, looking back and forth between them. “Okay, guys. What gives?”
Dane and Babs looked at each other and then Dane sighed. “Fine. We don’t like what went down last night.”
Izzie laughed. “Is that all this is about?”
Babs nodded and sipped her coffee.
“I’m fine. I fucked up, took my punishment, and other than a little soreness, I’m good.”
“You’re sure?” Babs's voice rose.
