They got back to the living room without speaking another word. In fact Melissa didn’t even dare to look into Laila’s eyes again. She was afraid of what she would find there. Afraid that she couldn’t conceal any of her emotions while everyone was around. She had just cheated on her boyfriend in his apartment, while he was in the next room completely clueless, and to make things worse, it was the girlfriend of his best friend, too. This possibly qualifies me to even be kicked out of hell… She had a hard time keeping her calm façade. She couldn’t deal with sitting around any longer after what just happened.

“I… I think I need to go to bed,” she said as soon as they had entered the living room. Tom and Greg exchanged a worried glance, only Laila was staring out the window as if it didn’t interest her at all.

“What’s wrong, darling?” Greg asked concerned.

“Nothing.” Everything… “I just have a headache,” she explained, sounding a little distant.

“It’s probably the swell. I’m sorry. You better get some rest,” Tom mumbled, his voice still sounding guilty.

Right, the swell… Maybe I hit my head too hard… Who am I kidding? That was completely out of free will… Why did it have to be so damn good, too…?

“Melissa?” Greg lightly touched her shoulder to make sure she was alright, and she instantly shrugged over the touch. He furrowed his brows in confusion and Melissa knew she had to be careful with her moves or she would look suspicious.

“Yes. Must be the swell. Don’t worry though. At least I have a reasonable explanation for my odd behavior tonight.” As soon as the words left her mouth, she saw Laila move in the corner of her eyes. So she is listening…

“What do you mean?” Tom asked unsure how to take the comment. Laila looked a bit alarmed, but kept silently observing the situation.

“I mean going All-in on such an uncertain situation. If I would have given it a second thought, I probably wouldn’t have lost everything in one wrong move.” Her tone was nonchalant, the mask flawless, only her heart hurt horribly under the sound of her own voice.

“You really are a sore loser, honey,” Greg responded, not getting the ambiguousness of the girl’s words. In fact she was quite sure that Laila was the only one in the room who spoke her language, and when the girl left the room to get her jacket with an icy comment, Melissa was completely sure.

“Fine with me. I don't feel like playing games anymore anyway,” Laila said, her husky voice sounding even lower than usual. Tom gave Melissa and Greg an incredulous look and went after his girlfriend. Melissa couldn’t find the guts to meet Laila’s gaze after what she had just stated. She felt horrible towards everyone around her and she wished for nothing more than to be alone right now. But staying with Greg was a better option than leaving with Laila and Tom, and so she just said a quick goodbye and left for the kitchen.
