Episode 5
I didn’t, did I?
Julie rolled over falling off the couch face first. “Fuck.” She muttered as she got up and looked around the room. “Why was I on the couch?” She asked herself then staggered sleepily into the bedroom. She reached the door and started to take her shirt and pants off; she crawled into the bed in her bra and panties and quickly fell back asleep.
Nick opened his eyes slowly when he felt the bed start to move. He looked next to him and saw Julie sleeping there and she was in her underwear. He turned to lie on his back and rubbed his hands over his face trying to remember what happened that night. Did they sleep together? He wasn’t that drunk, but he couldn’t remember. She started to wake up and he closed his eyes pretending to be asleep.
“Fucking alcohol.” Julie said as she slowly opened her eyes, and that wasn’t Nicole next to her. “What the fuck?” She asked herself as she stared at him trying to remember last night. Then she stopped and smiled, “He’s pretty when he’s asleep.” She said as she slowly lifted the cover up off of him.
“What are you doing?” Nick asked looking at her.
Julie jumped and said, “Nothing.”
“Sure.”
“Ok, well I heard one time that you slept naked, just trying to clarify that.” She said smiling sweetly.
Nick just shook his head laughing.
“What are you doing in my bed?”
“Actually the real question should be why you are in my bed?”
“Huh?”
“You were shit faced last night, and you crashed on my couch.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yep.”
“Ok then.” She said as she got comfortable again and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.
Julie squinted as the sun started to shine into the room and into her eyes. “Go away.” She mumbled as she waved her hand in the air then rolled over.
“Hangover?”
Julie jumped and sat up. “Fuck, you need to stop that.”
Nick laughed. “What?”
“Scaring me like that.” Julie said as she watched Nick get off the bed, in his boxers. She couldn’t help but stare, it was a like a car accident you know you shouldn’t be looking but you can’t seem to tear your eyes away. That just wasn’t right; he shouldn’t be able to do that. Julie laughed at her thoughts as she watched him go through his bag.
“Stop staring at my ass.” Nick said with his back facing her.
“Uh… I wasn’t staring at your ass.”
Nick turned around. “Sure you weren’t.” He said rolling his eyes as he walked out of the room.
Julie laid there trying to go back to sleep but failing miserably so she got up and walked into the main room and sat down on the couch.
“You do you know you’re still in your underwear right?” Nick asked keeping his eyes on the TV.
“It’s not like you never seen a girl in her underwear before, so chill.” Julie said.
Nick cut his eyes over to her. “What do you mean by that?”
“It’s pretty simple I was saying it’s not like you never seen a girl in her underwear before.” Julie said as she got up and walked into the other room.
“Do you remember anything from last night?” Nick asked Julie when she walked out of the room fully clothed.
“Not really it’s all a little fuzzy.” She replied sitting back down.
Nick started to laugh.
“What? What are you laughing at?”
“You were funny last night.”
Julie put her hand over her face. “What did I do?” She asked.
“You totally copped a feel.”
“On who?” She asked looking at him.
He continued to laugh. “Me.” He said pointing to himself.
“What? Are you serious?”
“Yeah.” He said nodding still laughing a little.
“Damn.”
“What?”
“I totally cop a feel on Nick Carter and I don’t even remember it.” Julie said.
“Well maybe if you play your cards right you can cop a feel again.” Nick said wiggling his eyebrows.
“You did not just say that. On that note I’m leaving you’re a dork.” Julie said as she got up.
“I’ll see you later.” He replied pointing his fingers at her, like they were pretend guns.
Julie rolled her eyes as she walked out the door.
~Julie’s point of view~
I think I’m living someone else’s life. I’m not Julie anymore, I’m I don’t know who I am but damn it, it sure doesn’t feel like I’m me anymore. Because normally I wouldn’t be sleeping in the same damn bed as Nick Carter. Because well I live a place called reality and that shit just doesn’t happen, but wait it did! Hmm… interesting.
And now I have this fucking hangover, I don’t think I’ll ever drink again. Yeah, I know that’s funny. I know that’s a lie, this time next weekend I’ll be saying the same thing. I bet ya!
“You’re alive.” Nicole said as Julie walked in the room.
“Barely.” Julie mumbled as she flopped down on the couch.
“Hangover?”
“Hell fucking yes.”
Nicole started to laugh. “So how was in Carter’s room?”
“Well, I fell off the damn couch and didn’t know why I was on a damn couch to begin with so I go into the bedroom and get in the bed. In my bra and panties nonetheless. Then I wake up to none other than the blonde god. I was about to freak out I thought we slept together.”
“That’s hilarious.”
“He told me that I copped a feel on him too.”
“Oh yeah, you were so funny last night.” Nicole said laughing.
“I’m not sure if I want to know or not.”
“You kept pinching his cheeks and shit telling him how cute he is.”
Julie shook her head and said, “Ok that’s enough thanks.”
“You sure because it was damn funny and I’ll tell you all of it.”
“Nope that’s quite ok.”
“Ok.”
“God, I have like the hugest fucking hangover ever. I just want to go and sleep it off.” Julie said breaking the silence.
“Why don’t you?”
“Because I don’t feel like getting up.” Julie whined as she leaned her head back.
//The Next Day\\
“Julie get up.” Nicole said as she nudged Julie.
“Go away.”
“You have to get up its Monday.”
“Fuck you. Go away.”
“Fine.” Nicole said as she walked out of the room.
Julie slowly opened her eyes as she rubbed her hands over her face. She stretched and groaned out loud then got up off the bed and staggered into the main room. She looked around for Nicole but she wasn’t in there. She shrugged it off and sat down on the couch turning on the TV.
Julie sat Indian style on the couch watching Days Of Our Lives not really paying any attention to what was on the TV she was still trying to figure out where Nicole went and if she took her car. Nicole knew better than to do that didn’t she? If she valued her life she should know better. Julie shrugged it off as she started to concentrate on the TV. She sat there a few minutes then it dawned on her that it was Monday and she missed the commercial.
“Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!” She yelled as she threw the remote across the room.
~Julie’s point of view~
I can’t fucking believe it. I missed the fucking commercial and Nicole didn’t even try to wake me up? I know she was up at that time, she always is. Damn it. I can’t fucking believe that.
Back to Nicole for a second, where the hell is the bitch? She’s been gone for a while and damn it where did she go? God, I’m so pissed right now I could hit something, throw something anything that is violent I could do. Where’s Justin Timberlake when you need him? I could so take my frustrations out on that fuck.
Julie sat on the couch a scowl on her face when someone started knocking repeatedly on the door. She started to get up then sat back down. “Come on.” She said putting her feet on the coffee table.
“Hey there.”
She looked up to see Nick smiling wide at her. She waved her hand unenthusiastically at him as he sat down laughing.
“Problems?” He asked as he turned to face her.
“Yeah, Nicole is gone I don’t know where she went and I missed the commercial today.”
“Ok. So I have a proposition for you.”
“I’ll only sleep with you if you pay me.” She retorted laughing.
Nick looked at her confused. “What?”
Julie laughed. “Never mind.”
“Tell me.” He said getting angry.
“Never mind, I just like to push your buttons a little.” She said then moved a little closer to him. “You’re pretty hot when you are pissed.”
Nick stared at her as she backed away grinning at him. He grinned back. “I want you to be in my next video.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because I was thinking of some girls and you popped in my mind.”
“What song is it for?”
“Do I Have To Cry For You?”
“Awe, I love that song.”
“So is that a yes?”
“I don’t know.”
“I need to know.”
“I need to think about it.”
“I need to know now.”
“I don’t know.”
“Ok, it’s cool you don’t want to that’s fine.”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t.”
“So you are?”
She sighed as she looked at him. “Ok.”
“Good.” He moved his face inches from hers and said, “Another thing we’ll be having a little fight and I get to throw things. So you get to see me very pissed. You think you can handle that?”
Julie swallowed as she stared back at him.
“Hey I’m back.” Nicole said as she walked in the room to see Nick and Julie on the couch their faces inches apart. She looked at them questioningly as she closed the door.
“Where have you been? Did you take my car? I missed the commercial. Why didn’t you wake me up? I know you were up.” Julie asked her all in one breath.
“Damn girl breathe.” Nick said laughing.
“I just went out and do I look like I want to die? Hell no I didn’t take your car and I did try and wake you up but you didn’t wake up.”
“Uh huh.” Julie said rolling her and putting her hands on her hips.
“I did.” Nicole said defensively.
“Ok fine.”
“Well I’m leaving, Julie next week we’re leaving on Friday.” Nick said as he got up and walked out the door.
“What was that about?”
“I’m going to be in Nick’s new video.” Julie said smiling.
“Oh really?”
“Yep.”
“I found us an apartment; it’s already furnished and everything.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I told them I’d come back tomorrow with you and then we can make a final decision.”
“Right on.”
~Julie’s point of view~
Hi, I’m Bernice. Yep, that’s what I’m going to go by now. Because I’m not Julie anymore these things don’t happen to Julie. But Bernie, you don’t know if they would or not. It’s a mystery.
Yeah I don’t think so. But damn it this is fucking crazy. Ok, I’m going to stop questioning every damn thing and just go with the flow. Yeah, I’m just going to go with the flow and let whatever that is going to happen, happen. Yeah.
