It's Complicated

He was all over the place and I had to carry him out, well more like drag him out. I called a cab and gave him his keys, I asked the driver to make sure he got home and paid him extra before walking into my building.

It was the early parts of the morning and I wrapped my arms around myself as I quickly walked into the building. I put on a pair of pj's and took some medicine before I got into bed.

Over the next week I didn't see either of the guys. From what Stella had told me, the two of them were busy with closing the deal on a hotel. Nick didn't want to waste money on building from scratch so he just bought a struggling hotel and redid the place.

"Hey" Nick said walking into the salon the following week, "oh he lives" I joked. He smiled at me and gave me a side hug, "sorry I've been busy with banks and contracts" he said. "I understand" I repiled, "so would you let me make it up to you with lunch?" He asked. "Okay but nothing fancy and I have to be back in an hour" I warned, "done" he repiled.

He took me to what looked like a rundown hotel on the beach front, the area was so quite and there weren't any people on the beach. It was so quite and peaceful the water looked beautiful. "Is this the new hotel?" I asked getting out of his car, the ocean breeze sweeping my hair back. "Yeah I hope you don't mind" he said said sheepishly, I shook my head. "It's beautiful here" I said looking at the view.

"The interior designers are here and they need my input on somethings so I thought you could help us out" he said. We walked through the lobby that was being painted and into the dinning room, "your lunch sir" a guy said placing two paper bags of food down in front of us while another placed two bottles of water on the table.

"Is this okay? Should I get you something else?" He asked, "no its fine" I said looking down at my chicken wrap. "There you are" a thin blonde lady said coming to us just as Nick took a bit of his wrap. "Alex this is Rose the designer, Rose, Alex" he introduced us. "Nice to meet you" I said, "like wise" she gave me a poilght smile then turned to Nick.

"Need to know about the wall paper so I can order it" she stressed and held up some samples. "What do you think Alex?" He asked turning to me, Rose's eyes settled on me as well. "Um... where is this for?" I asked looking at the samples, "the lobby" Rose repiled. "What if you did a focus wall and just paint the rest of the place?" I suggested.

Rose perked up. "That's actually a really good idea" she said and looked to Nick, he just nodded. "I'll get a painter on the line" she said and scurried off. The three of us went through some of the other stuff, well it was more me and Rose picking curtains and paint colours while Nick just watched us.

When my break was almost done he took me back to work. Nick wanted to meet again that weekend for another date. This time we went to an opera, it was new for me and was diffienatly something I wouldn't go see on my own. But Nick seemed to enjoy it so I just went through till the end.

The following days Jason took me to the park and we got hot dogs. He had been a bit embarrassed that he had gotten so drunk at the festival. But I assured him that it was okay and not to put me in that situation again.

It was nice to hang out with the two of them, the places they took me showed me their personality and what kind of people they were. Nick was a lover of the finer things in life, he liked to drink wine and watch opera shows and eat at fancy restaurants. While Jason was more layed back and relaxed, he liked to party and get drunk and eat fast food.

Even though it was nice, things were starting to get a bit tense between us. I felt like there was some kind of unspoken competition of who can take me out on the most dates. It was getting tiring, Nick would take me out and then Jason would show up at work the next day.

I was starting to think that Cami was right about the two of them. And I had a feeling that I needed to make things clear with them before they took things too far.
