“What? You mean Dave did that to you?” Rosie queried with anger etched on her face. Arianna was like a sister to her and she would not tolerate anyone messing with her sister like that.
Arianna sighed softly. “Yes sis, but that was only the beginning of my crazy Valentine night.”
Rosie, who had been standing the whole time, went closer and sat beside her on the bed.
“I am really sorry Aria, this is partly my fault. I was always encouraging you with that jerk because I thought he would give you the future you deserve, please forgive me,” she pleaded.
“No please don’t apologize Rosie, it wasn’t your fault, I was the one pushing on things with Dave. Forget about him; let me tell you what else happened last night. You won’t believe me,” Arianna mumbled as the memories flooded her mind like a wave.
Rosie sat with full attention to know what else her friend had to go through. If that jerk had tried to hurt her in any other way then she would deal with him mercilessly.
Arianna sat up and took a deep breath in; her best friend would certainly get upset after hearing this.
“Well… After what happened with Dave, I decided to go to the usual club and have a few bottles to relieve the pain I was feeling. I met this handsome dude at the counter and he was like a sort of drinking partner for that moment, we had a few bottles then one thing led to another and we ended up getting intimate but I swear I had no idea what I was doing, when I woke up this morning, he was gone,” she said, trying to not look guilty.
“What? You had a one night stand with a stranger?” Rosie exclaimed. “Come on Aria, did you have to get so drunk?” she asked and sat up immediately.
Arianna looked down feeling ashamed of what she had done. She would have kept it a secret but Rosie wasn’t someone to keep things from, they only had each other in this big city so it would be wrong to break her trust.
“Tell me… did he take any precautions to avoid pregnancy because that’s the last thing you need right now?” Rosie asked.
Arianna remained silent; she did not know how to answer that question because she can hardly remember what happened that night. All she knew was that they had sex.
“I can’t say for sure sis, I was really drunk so I can’t remember if he had any protection with him.”
Rosie groaned and covered her face with her palm while staring towards the door, and then she turned back to her friend and exhaled with a look of disappointment.
“I can’t believe you would make such a mistake Aria, there are so many Wolves out there looking for innocent girls to prey on, you have fallen victim to one of them. Why were you so careless?” she scolded.
“I am sorry sis, I promise I won’t drink again and I will forget about guys and focus on my future now,” Arianna assured.
Although Rosie was only a year older than her, she treated her like a big sister.
“It’s alright Aria, you have already made the mistake, just be careful in the future,” she advised and Arianna nodded.
“So can you recognize the man if you see him again?” Rosie asked.
“Yes, I think so. He had a comb over haircut, with gray eyes and he was tall too.” She described.
“Hmm… his description doesn’t fit anyone I know but keep it in mind in case we run into him in future, and then I would teach him not to treat women with disrespect. How could he just up and leave like that? Like you were some sort of wh0re.” Rosie barked.
“Forget that sis, is there any food here? I am starving,” Arianna exclaimed.
“Of course you have had so much to drink last night so you have to be starving. Go to the kitchen, I made Pasta,” Rosie informed her.
Arianna jumped up from the bed immediately. “Thanks a million sis, you are a lifesaver.” She hugged Rosie then ran towards the kitchen.
Rosie waved her head and sat on the bed. She wondered how her best friend will cope with the new development, and that Dave guy, she would teach him a lesson if she ever sets her eyes on him again. As for now, she would bend over backwards to make sure her friend walked through this.
---Three weeks later---
Arianna and Rosie were seated in the dining room, having dinner. They were doing justice to a large plate of Hamburger. Rosie was trying to keep her happy as she had been down in the dumps lately.
“Did he really do that?” Arianna asked amidst laughter. She couldn’t believe what Rosie had just told her.
Rosie chuckled. “Yes, he was a complete fool,” she blurted.
