Opening the door, a stench of rotten food mixed with alcohol assaulted my senses.
The room was a disaster, littered with trash everywhere. Inside the filthy mess, Jade was comforting a drunk Alec.
Seeing me, she quickly spoke up, "Sis Faye, you finally decided to show up."
"You have no idea. Alec's been crying his eyes out every day. He really can't bear to lose you."
Jade sighed softly, "I don't know if he's explained to you, but what happened on my birthday was just a misunderstanding."
"Alec and I have known each other for so many years, we've always just been good buddies. I swear, I've never crossed any lines."
"You know, I've been in many relationships, but none of them ever worked out. Those hotel bookings were all times when Alec came to comfort me after a breakup, but he never stayed overnight or anything..."
"In his heart, I'm just one of the guys. What could two men possibly do together?"
