Nothing, right?
AVA´s POV at the hotel
Somehow I ended up in a hotel room with a co-worker who was also my high-school classmate. ¨Your boyfriend's a lucky man. You're really something.¨, Francis said while I´m fixing my shoes.
¨Really? Because that's not what my girlfriend would say.
¨You know me. I mean what I say.¨ He said again, trying to lure me with his sweet words.
¨You're just saying that because l'm drunk and you're drunk...¨
¨No. How many times do I have to tell you? You're kind, intelligent, beautiful. Who wouldn't fall for you?¨ Ugh. Another one those pick up lines I´am used to hearing.
¨You're just being nice. Thank you. Thank you for listening.¨ Francis is a nice guy, all things considered and of course he helped me tonight so the least I can do is be polite and thank him..
¨But I thought you wanted to-¨, he said while I pushed him away as he tried to kiss me.
¨I have a girlfriend - Beatrice and you know her!¨
¨What!? But you said you are no longer happy with her. That's why I got us a room.¨ Francis said with a confused look on his face.
¨What?! I never said I wanted to have sex with you!. I said I need to take a dump and throw up! You said you had a room here we could use! But to have sex with you?! No. No. No!¨
¨We're still friends, right?¨
¨ Of course! Besides you did way more embarrassing stuff in high school.¨ I said while chuckling.
¨Shh... could we not go there?¨
BEA´s POV at the bar
¨What the-! What do you think you're doing?!¨ I said as I gently pushed Channel away when she tried to kiss me.
¨Sorry... drunk. This is so embarrassing.¨ Channel said while ducking her head because of embarrassment.
¨Hilarious! I'm sorry Channel. You know I love Ava.¨ I said trying to comfort Channel, and it´s true because I love my girlfriend so damn much.
¨I know- that's why I knew you wouldn't do it.¨
¨Okay. Okay. Can you not tell Ava about this?¨ I said just to make sure there won´t be anything to cause anymore argument between me and Ava.
¨Of course! You know Bea, I think Ava's good for you.¨
¨She is.¨
back AVA´s POV
¨Bea, please. Pick up please...¨
¨Ava! Where are you?¨
*Francis at the background* ¨Ava wait...Ava! Your jacket!¨
¨Oh shit. Sorry I forgot about this. Thanks Francis! Have a goodnight¨
¨Hello? Bea? Oh thank God you picked up! Where are you?¨
¨WTF Ava?! Francis? Were you seriously with him?!! Her tone was furious and her voice was a little louder than her usual, more accusatory tone.¨
¨What?! Are you trying to say something happened between us?¨
¨Well, where are you then?!¨Still sounding furious.
¨We were at the hotel, I wa-..
¨What the hell! Ava? Fuck this! You were at his hotel and you are gonna tell me nothing fucking happened?! I wasn´t born yesterday, Ava!¨ She sounds angrier by the second.
¨Nothing happened! Nothing happened believe me, Bea. Please belie-¨ but then our call got disconnected. ¨Fuck!¨
Group POV / Alternating POV - at Lilith´s house
Bea: ¨But I didn't!¨
Mary: ¨Dude, are you blind? It's Channel! She's hot! If I had a best friend like her-¨
Bea: ¨You'd go for her?¨ said sounding sarcastic.
Mary: ¨Why not? Isn't that why you brought her to the hotel?¨
Bea: ¨Jackass! That's where she's staying. The three of us were supposed to have dinner... but Aves had to be a drama queen.¨
Back to Ava, Cam and Michael convo - downstairs¨
Ava: ¨For five years I was either the welcoming committee... or planner of Channel's farewell parties. Did I ever complain about it? No. See? I just asked him to be there for me this one time... because l'm so mad at my boss but did she go with me? No! Then she cheats on me!¨ said while crying.
Cam: ¨Ava, it's Bea. She can't stand the thought of hurting you. Maybe it was all friendly.¨
Back to Bea, Mary and Lilith convo - upstairs¨
Lil: ¨Maybe she just needed someone to talk to. -¨
Bea: ¨In a hotel?!?
Mary: ¨- In a hotel? Sorry dude, go ahead.¨
Bea: ¨If they needed to talk... they didn't have to get a hotel room for it.¨
Lil: ¨Bea, do you honestly believe that?¨
Bea: ¨I don't know.¨ sounding defeated.
Back to Ava, Cam and Michael convo - downstairs¨
Cam: ¨Then just stop acting so jealous of Channel. Why don't you just explain to Bea how you ended up at in the hotel room?¨
Ava: ¨But she never listens to me! Whenever we have a problem... she always has to be right and l'm always wrong.¨
Michael: ¨Because you let her get away with it.¨
Bea: ¨Because I love her.¨
Cam: ¨If that's the case... then just apologize to each other so we can go on with the wedding.¨
Ava: ¨Are you fucking serious? Why should I say sorry when I didn't do anything wrong?¨
Back to Bea, Mary and Lilith convo - upstairs¨
Lil: ¨Knowing you... Bea, you can't stand being away from her too long. Just forgive her.
Bea: :No way, Lil... It's her fault! She should say sorry.¨ You know what, I´ll just get another beer downstairs
Back to Ava, Cam and Michael convo - downstairs¨
Michael: ¨How can she get married to someone so possessive?¨
Ava: ¨I know right?! She´s so protective! stingy! practical! And she never listens!¨
Cam: ¨Hear that Michael? Sound to me that she just loves her very much.¨
Ava: It's suffocating, Lil:¨
Cam: Ava may -¨ ¨Hello hon?¨
Lilth: *sigh* ¨Bea's on her way down.¨
Bea: ¨More beer?¨ turning around asking Mary and Lilith.
Mary: ¨I'll get it!¨ said while panicking a bit.
Cam: *still on the phone* ¨Don't let her come down.¨ This will turn into a full on fight if they see each other now¨
Lil: ¨Bea! Let Mary get us drinks!¨
Bea: ¨Nah. We have a call of nature too, need to go downstairs.¨
Mary: ¨Dude this is your night! Let me get it.¨ said while running after Bea.
Group POV - downstairs¨
Ava: ¨....and most of all controlling!¨
Bea: ¨Who's controlling? Me!? Ava, you're the stubborn one! I told you to come with me! But you refused! Because you had a date with Francis?!?¨
Ava: ¨Bea, Francis and l didn't do anything wrong! - We didn't do what you think we did!¨
Bea: ¨And what were you doing there? Thumb wrestling?!¨
Cam: ¨Wait, wait. Let's talk about this. He just accompanied Ava when you chose to go with Channel. And because it was Francis' birthday, he treated her out for dinner. But she ate too much steamed crab and she so badly needed to take a dump. Luckily, Francis had a free room in the hotel... and he let Ava use his bathroom.¨
Bea: ¨Wooow! Really?! Ava, if you're going to lie, might as well be good at it.¨
Michael: ¨Bea, can you listen to Ava first? Why don't you try to understand her?¨
Bea: *snorted but not looking at Michael but turned to look at Ava instead* - ¨And who understands you? Francis?!?¨
Ava: ¨You know what Bea, this is pointless...¨ walking going to the bathroom
Bea: ¨What?!? Come on Ava! Just say it. Want to break up? Fine! Let's break up!¨ said while they are walking after Ava
Ava suddenly farted loud enough for everyone to hear. Everyone covered their nose because of the smell too
Michael: ¨Now do you believe her?¨ said while laughing and the rest just rolled their eyes and went on to do whatever they needed to do leaving Bea alone and Ava inside the restroom.
later that night at Bea and Ava´s condo
Bea: ¨Where are you going? What are you doing?¨ said while trying to stop Ava from packing her stuff.
Ava: ¨Move!¨
Bea: ¨You can't take this. It's my favorite. I want it as a souvenir.¨ taking the camera they bought from their previous vacation. ¨That toothbrush is mine. I bought it.¨
Ava: ¨Fine! Here!¨ Threw her toothbrush at Bea
Bea: ¨And these? These are mine, right? I had those developed.¨ now sounding a bit smug knowing where this is now going
Ava: ¨Fine! Take it! moving to take the necklace inside their drawer
Bea: ¨Wait, wait, wait! This is mine. That's mine. You gave it to me as an anniversary gift which makes it mine.¨
Ava: ¨Fine! It's all yours! We're already breaking up and you still want to be in control!¨
Bea: ¨Aves, that's enough. *back hugging Ava* Love you.¨
Ava: ¨Love you too.¨ she said, responding automatically whenever Bea says I love you to her.
Bea: ¨I heard that.¨ said while smirking
Ava: ¨Bea. -¨
Bea: ¨Come on, that's enough.¨ said while still hugging Ava
Ava: *struggling out of Bea´s hug* ¨Let me go.¨
Bea: ¨Please put that down, and the ones you took from the bedroom. I'm sorry. I believe you now.¨
Ava: ¨I had to fart and be humiliated just so you'd believe me.¨
Bea: ¨That's why l'm asking for your forgiveness. - Please?¨
Ava: *sigh* Bea? I'm sorry. I'm sorry too. Nothing happened between me and Francis, really. -¨
Bea: ¨I know darling, I know. - said in between her kissing Ava´s shoulder and the sensitive spot on her neck that Bea knows one of her weakness
Ava: ¨Bea! Bea! Stop it! *said while squealing and giggling because of what Bea is doing.
Bea let go of Ava and stepped back for a little just to show Ava that she is fanning herself because it suddenly became hot
Bea: ¨Hmmm *looking seductively and walking slowly towards Ava* It´s really getting hot in here.¨
Ava: *slowly walking backwards already knowing what Bea is planning* ¨Hey! We haven't made up yet!¨
Bea: ¨- Ava, it's getting hot in here!¨ *using her sexy low voice*
Ava: ¨Hot you say? Don't come near me! - Beaaaaa!...¨ said trying to run away from Bea while laughing
Bea: ¨- Ava...¨ still lowering her voice
Ava: ¨Bea... ¨
Bea: *looking hungrily at Ava while half running after Ava* I'm coming! raaaawwr!... Ava!...¨ ¨Got You! Come here!¨ Bea started kissing Ava but her phone started to ring. She ignored it twice but it kept ringing which is an indication that it might be important. With great power she stopped kissing Ava and turned around to get her phone on top of the bedside table.
Ava: *while now kissing Bea´s neck* ¨Bea, you can do that later... Bea, you can do that later... Do it tomorrow, please?¨
Adriel: ¨Beatrice? Are you still awake?
Bea: ¨Yes sir, still awake sir. ¨
Adriel: *sounding apologetic* I know it´s really late but you know I won´t call if it is not an emergency¨
Ava who is now kissing Bea´s top breast ¨Darling, wait. There's a problem at the site. Okay, l'll go there myself. No problem sir. Okay. Darling, I need to go to the site. They're having problems
Ava who is now using her best puppy eyes with Bea, ¨Darling...Don´t look at me like that¨ *ava still pouting while looking at Bea* ¨Okay, let's do it... but only for 15 minutes. ¨
Ava: *upset but still trying to put on a brave face* ¨No baby, it´s okay. Go ahead. They might be waiting for you already. I'm okay, just go. ¨
Bea: ¨Ava, darling. You know that l'm doing this for our wedding, right? So stop pouting and kiss me now. I love you!¨ but Ava did not reply back
Bea: ¨Darling, I don't want us to say goodbye like this. I already said 15 minutes but you didn't want to -¨
Ava: *now frustrated with Bea* ¨It's not about that.¨
Bea: ¨This about the hotel?¨
Ava: ¨No.¨
Bea: ¨Then what? I'm exhausted. Ava, we all get tired. I get tired from working too. But we have to focus. You have to keep your eyes on the goal.¨
Ava: *trying to hold back her tears w/c Bea did not seem to notice because she is furiously typing on her phone* ¨Bea, you don't understand. That's not my problem. It's just -¨
Bea: *cutting off Ava* ¨Wait, it's my boss calling. Sir, yes l'm on my way. Yes sir, really on the way. Yes sir. Ava, darling I love you, you love me. What's the problem? Nothing, right?¨
