Holy affairs

[Fiona's POV]

Selby still stand frozen at the door, "it is not what it looks like," I yell at her but that makes her look at me smugly.

"You did take my advice," she smugly says making Heath look at me curiously.

"No, I didn't it, he was just helping me with…..." I tried to explain, Selby wasn't buying it though, she had rushed into the room before shutting the door behind her.

"Okay, how did it start? Did you finally take my advice and F him?" Selby asks, Heath only chuckled before looking at me smugly.

"She is the one who made you sleep with me?" he asked happily, peculiar usually when people find out that someone is with them because of a dare or because someone told them to do it, they would be angry.

"No, I slept with you because I wanted to," I defended but it only dug me a deeper hole than anticipated.

"Then why discard me after?" Heath asks acting sad, "is it your shtick to use men for s*x?"

I hated how amused he as about this, "no, I didn't use you, you wanted it too."

Selby looks at us amused, "oh... no don't mind me, continue with the conversation, pretend I am not even here," she mocked.

"So, are you two an item now?" Selby asked, "this is the best vacation affair ever."

I see her happily jump, I hate that I am being back into a corner, how will I get out of this.

"You mean like you and Lucas?" Heath says making Selby melt immediately and successfully changing the subject, Selby and Lucas? Well, they do spend a lot of time together, but Selby doesn't really like rich men, she said they are cheating pieces of crap.

"I…. Lucas and I are just friends," Selby stutters confirming what Heath had just said, if Heath was lying, she wouldn't have stuttered.

"You are F*cking Lucas?" I asked bewildered.

"No, don't believe what this man says," she defends, "okay we only did it twice okay."

"Thrice, I overheard you this morning," Heath puts a nail in the coffin, Selby's resolute completely dissolved.

  "Well at least our affair is holy unlike yours," Selby says making Heath widen his eyes in shock.

"What I heard was far from holy," Heath says with disgusted look in his face.

"I am not betraying my assistant who just poured his out to you," Selby says, Heath was completely silent for a moment.

"Well, I didn't tell him to break up with her, did I?" Heath says slightly annoyed, "and I am not betraying anyone. You two catch up, I will be back."

He had left the room looking a bit annoyed, Selby had watched him leave intrigued.

"He is in deep," Selby said amused, "can't believe I am losing to Lucas."

"Losing what?" I asked.

"Oh… I told Lucas I suspected you two were sleeping together, and he bet that Heath caught feelings," Selby says.

"Ew, you talk about me during your pillow talk," I say disgusted, "you made a bet too."

"It was not during our pillow talk it was before the activity,"

"TMI, geez, and he hasn't fallen for me, he is just softening me up, he will drop me soon," I say confidently.

"Ugh…. You are so cold, give the man a chance," Selby says.

"Like you gave Lucas? What happened to rich men being scum?" I watched her blush immediately, this is dangerous, Selby in love was a rare sight.

I had always said that I had it bad when it comes to romantic relationships, but Selby always had it worse, so worse that she had opted out of relationship altogether.

"Well, we are just having fun," she says bitterly.

"Sel?"

"I might have caught feelings a little though," she said sadly, "I know to him it is just physical though."

"Selly, come here," I sympathize, I hug her tightly, this had always been how most of her relationships went, it starts out as them having fun until she caught feelings tell the guy and he leave her.

"I will not tell him though, I will just take what I am getting until he discards me, I can't have him leave now," Selby says as she hugs me tighter.

"Maybe he like you too," I say, "you are an awesome girl, maybe if you tell him…..."

"Fiona, don't, you just escaped from death, don't make me kill you for lying, he is Lucas Gram he has better options," Selby scolded me, I could hear a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You are the better option Selly, if he doesn't see it then he should get his eyes checked," I reassured her as I hug her, "how did this even happened?"

"Oh… the night we arrived, after I beat him to the drinking competition, he told me he liked strong women and I proposed to suck his d*ck and he gladly agreed."

"Selly!" not surprised it is true Selby fashion, she is straight forward like that.

"What? His eyes were shining that night, maybe it was the alcohol, or I was just plain horny, but I don't regret a thing."

I liked how bold Selby was, I had wished that the confidence she displayed was at the same magnitude as the confidence she felt. And I hoped Lucas was in love with her as she is in love with him.

"So, how about you and Heath how did this happen?" she asked curiously, "was the s*x that good? Did he take you to cloud climax?"

"Can we not talk that much into detail about our intimate lives?" I say embarrassed.

"Okay, tell me the clean version then, like PG-13 of something," she giggles as she pushes further.

"Ugh… it is a long story," I say defensively.

"I have all day, come on how did he get timid old you to sleep with him?" she asked, amused.

I was able to fill her in on what had happened and how I ended up in all this mess, unlike Lucas and Sleby, my 'affair' with Heath was the other way around.

"So, why not give him a chance?" Selby asks a question I myself don't know the answer to.

"His lifestyle, you know I love hard, I am still heartbroken of what Carl did to me, if I jump into yet another relationship it would be suicide."

"Do you still love him?" Selby asks.

"Love who?"

"Carl, like it hasn't been long since you broke up, and I know you try your best to act unbothered even when you are bothered."

Love him, I still do a little bit, but I love myself more to forgive and go back to a man who would humiliate me like that all to impress someone who probably don't care about him.

"No, of course I don't love him anymore," I say firmly.

"Then give Heath a chance, maybe it would end up in wedding bells," Selby teases.

"Or an even catastrophic heartbreak."

"Ugh…. Whatever, you will figure it out soon," Selby gives in, she then scooted closer and laid with me, "let us rest."

This made me feel whole, Selby and I had been through much together, and regardless of the circumstances we always come out at the top, this will also blow over.

"By the way Lucas offered me a job," she casually says, throwing me on a loop.

"Really? What kind? I am so happy for you."

"Receptionist, he said he will try and get me an even higher position, but I don't think I will accept the offer anymore," Selby says bitterly.

"Why not? Selby you know you need the job, why reject it."

"I don't think I will survive working for the man I love and can't have, it would kill me," she gently laid her head on my shoulder before hugging me tightly.

"Selly, it is okay, I can always have Gian get you a position in our company okay, don't worry," I hug her tightly feeling tears fall down her eyes.

This cruise was cussed from the get-go, cursed to hurt my friends and me, I was sure of it now, Selby had never been heartbroken for years, like me she had the stonewalling coping mechanism and it worked fine, until Lucas Gram shows up to ruin her whole façade.
