Since inviting KSL over to watch the fireworks with her, she had three people invite her different places. All the invitations were tempting, with people she knew and loved. She felt like she was missing out, but she couldn't go back on her word.
Of course, now he wasn't answering her texts, so maybe she didn't have to worry about it. Goldie was having a party upstairs and insisted that she come up for a little while, even though her ex would be there. For added safety, she changed KSL's name on her phone, then headed up to the party.
She made her way upstairs and visited with BFF and Goldie, eventually SD. Even with her ex there, she kind of wanted to stay.
The text came through that he was walking from further downtown. "Text me when you are in the elevator." she sent, then sat back and continued to enjoy the company. When she stood minutes later to say goodbye, BFF grabbed her phone. The text from KSL was still on the screen, although with his new nickname. She quickly grabbed it out of her hand, hoping she hadn't put two and two together.
The doorman wasn't around, so she road all the way down to open the door for him. "If you had other plans I could've stayed at home." he told her. She rolled her eyes and said she was invited to several things, and she chose to stay with him. "Well I didn't even get an invite anywhere else, so..." He said, fishing for sympathy. She wasn't biting, and they setting into her apartment.
They decided to watch Zootopia until the fireworks started, and she sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He didn't reach for her, but he didn't shrug her away. It felt like he was just tolerating her, and that made her more and more angry as the night continued.
As he left he gathered the booze he brought along, stating he needed it for "movie night" at his house. That movie night that she wasn't invited to. She made a face, but wasn't going to say anything. He quickly pointed to her and said "Don't be a bitch!"
She felt her face get red with anger, and she tried to calm herself down mentally, though it was difficult. How dare he call her a bitch for being upset at a situation that HE created with his big ass mouth and her good intentions?
She blocked it out of her head and a few minutes later, hugged him goodbye. She gave him crap about not even a kiss. He hugged her again, and walked out her door.
