Any friend of Ollie’s is a friend of mine. That’s what Thea had said to her when she gave Felicity free drinks for life at Club Verdant, though she was canny enough to know Felicity was something of an unsocial drinker. She drank the occasional vodka tonic because it was better than talking to most people.
What Felicity didn’t know was that taking Thea’s offer meant she had agreed to be Thea’s BFF, Thea not being the kind of girl who had female friends. At all. And so, as the club closed and the workers scurried about cleaning the place before locking up, Felicity was press-ganged into being Thea’s sob sister. Like she could figure out her own emotions, let alone Thea’s.
“I just can’t believe him,” Thea repeated, putting another dent in her own alcohol supply, one for herself and one for Felicity. “All I’ve been doing is being caring and supportive and what does Roy do? Kisses someone! In the stockroom!”
“Well, was it a boy?” Felicity asked, gingerly picking up her shotglass. “Because, you know, it’s not your fault if it’s a boy. Some boys are born gay, you can’t make them that way. I’m really sure of that.”
“It wasn’t a boy. God, I want to get back at him so bad! But what am I supposed to do? He’s already poor! And my family kinda already blew up his neighborhood…” Thea tossed her shot back. “Still doesn’t give him the right to cheat on me!”
Felicity followed suit. Like always happened when she had one too many, her mouth got away with her. This was why, knowing how she talked when she was completely sober, Felicity didn’t drink often.
“You know what I did once when my boyfriend cheated on me?” Felicity asked rhetorically.
“You had a boyfriend?”
Felicity ignored her. “We’d been dating for six weeks and for at least five of them, he’d been saying he really wanted a blowjob. I’d never given a blowjob before, I told him so, he was all ‘c’mon, baby, I’ll teach you!’ Like it’s hard. But I didn’t want to give my first blowjob to some guy, you know?”
“Who else would you give it to?”
Felicity waved her off. “So then I catch him cheating on me, don’t ask how—“ It had involved her walking in on things that were illegal in many states. “You know what I did? I went to his best friend. I went to his roommate. I went to his brother. I blew them all.”
“You what?”
Felicity caught herself. “I was kinda a freak back then. Dressed like Death or something. Anyway, that’s probably a bad idea, you shouldn’t listen to me about relationships. Look at my face. This cute face, still single. That should tell you about me and relationships.”
