Like Flames in the Night

"Have a good night dear. And anytime you need a ride I'll be you're steed." he winked and kissed her back. "See you." he said and smiled waiting until she got into the doors before driving off to his work.

Nicole looked at the time and realized she still had hours left till Gabby would call so she leaned back turning on the TV waiting.

Gabby smiled as she walked into the bar and got her stuff to wait on tables. She ran her fingers through her hair then walked to her first table. Gabby called Nicole on her break and waited for her to answer.

---

Lucas sighed as he exhaled the smoke from his lung. He looked at the tv and smiled to himself.

Nicole picked up the phone. "I'm on my way." she said and hung up with Gabby. She got in her car and drove over to Gabby's work. She parked and walked in going to the back. They knew her around her only because she was Gaby's friend. Nicole found Gabby and gave her her keys. "Hey love." she said and smiled. "How's work going?" she asked.

Gabby looked at her, "It's boring as usual." She said as she took the keys from her. "So how was last night with Lucas?" She asked, giggling. She wanted to know all about it.

Nicole blushed and ran a hand through her hair as she sat down with Gabby. Nicole handed her some homemade food in a dish she had cooked up a little earlier that night. "Gabby..." she shook her head. "It wasn't really a thing. We just slept together, no big deal. I was drugged up." she said and pushed at her playfully. "What the hell were you thinking letting me take a horny pill? I pretty much lost my my mind when anything touched me." she said and blushed remembering her orgasms. She rubbed her hand on her thigh smoothing out her dress that didn't need to be straightened. Mostly I just remember walking up naked in his bed. I snuck out and awkwardly ran into him on my run today. Nothing to tell Gabby. He's a player and it was just a night. Not like anything is going to come of it." she said and shrugged. "How's Jace taking it. He was pretty freaked with the idea of me sleeping with Lucas. Now does he see it's no big deal? Will he chill now?" she asked.

Gabby looked at her, "Hey you were the one that took it. No one made you." She said, giggling. She was surprised at how okay Nicole was with the one nightstand. Usually her friend was really uptight about things. Gabby was just glad that she was happy though. "Jace is okay with it. You know he's like me. He just lets things go. He's not one for drama. Which is why he is soooo amazing." She said, smiling. Gabby had been through a lot of crappy guys and she was glad that she finally had Jace. "So does this mean you wont be partying with me anymore?" She asked, "And are you going to avoid Lucas?" She asked.

@ Jinx...

@ American
Nicole shook her head. "It just means I won't be taking any more drugs from Lucas." She said and sighed. "And as far as avoiding him I don't think that's going to be an option. He and Jace seem tight and you and Jace are well together so I don't think there is any way to avoid him and beside I am sure if there is a way he will find it." she said sure he already was trying to hook up with some other bimbo which surprisingly made her feel a little sick. Nicole sighed. "Can we please talk about something else?" she asked not wanting to think about what Jace was doing, or rather who he was doing.

Gabby nodded, "Sure. How is work going?" She asked as she ran her fingers through her hair. She was glad that Nicole would still hang out with Lucas. She knew that Nicole wasn't that into drugs so Gabby was just going to make sure that she didn't get offered again. Gabby bit her bottom lip lightly as she listened to her.

Nicole chuckled. "Well I'm gone for a weekend and they freak out. It's like they don't know how to do their jobs without me." she said and laughed shaking her head. She was actually kind of surprised the amount of emails she had gotten. Nicole sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "But it's fine I'll deal with them in the morning." she said and smiled. "But that's whatever." she said and then looked at the time. "Aww well I better go so you can finish your lunch break in peace." she said and stood and kissed Gabby's cheek. "Call me if you need a ride of anything." she said knowing she would most likely be woken up in the early morning to Jace and Gabby going at it.

Gabby walked into her apartment later that night and sighed as she set her keys on the counter. She was surprised to still see Nicole away, "Hey. I'm so glad to be home." She said as she sat on the chair near the couch and took her shoes off. "Jace is coming over tonight after work so don't freak out." She said, laughing softly. She got up and walked to her bedroom getting dressed for bed then walked out and sat on the couch next to Nicole. "So we are all going out tomorrow night. Wanna come along?" She asked. "I promise no drugs for you this time." She said, laughing softly.

Nicole was sitting on the couch reading when Gabby walked in. "Hey how you doing?" she asked and nodded knowing she had to be glad to be home. Nicole chuckled and shook her head. "Eventually he's just going to move in with us." Nicole said thinking about how often Jace stayed with them. Nicole looked up as Gabby came back out and sat with her. "Going out were?" she asked. She chuckled and shook her head. "Drugs really screw me up." she said and laughed thinking about how reckless she had been with Lucas. Nicole couldn't get that night out of her head though, or rather the small parts she could remember anyways. It had been good that was all she knew but Lucas was a jerk when he wasn't wanting something from you.

Gabby laughed, "No just a club downtown. No drugs unless you ask. Which i know you wont." She said as she ran her fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry Lucas is a jerk." She said. She hated to know that someone was treating her friend this way. Gabby continued to watch tv til Jace came into the house. She sat up on the couch, looking back at him. "Hey baby." She said as she got up. She went over and hugged him, "You smell of booze." She teased him as she kissed him again.

Nicole smiled and nodded. "Sure dancing might be fun." she said though this time she would bring some money for a taxi home. Nicole sighed as Gabby brought up Lucas. "I knew the moment I meet him I just had lost my mind the moment that drug hit me." she said and shrugged. Once Jace came in she smiled and left them two alone by going to her room and closing the door. She laid down on her bed and sighed done reading as she looked up at the ceiling. Nights like these she was jealous of Gabby.

---

Jace smiled as he got into Gabby's house. "Hey baby." he said with a yawn as she hugged him. He chuckled as she joked. "Well that new guy I told you about. He thinks he can do tricks but he poured nearly half a bottle of booze on me in the mean time." he said and shook his head. "I talked to the manager about it." he said and shrugged. Jace kissed her and then stretched. "Mind if I shower?" he asked and rubbed his head making his hair stand up crazy.

Gabby smiled, "Sure go ahead." She said before she walked back to her bedroom. She laid on the bed and waited for Jace. Once he laid down she snuggled against him and kissed his cheek. "Goodnight baby." She said, knowing he was probably tired.

The next night Gabby stood with Lucas at one of the small tables. They were waiting for Jace to meet them there and Nicole was meeting them as well. Gabby was completely wasted by the time Jace and Nicole got there. She could barely stand because she had been trying to keep up with Lucas. Not to mention the drugs she had done. Gabby looked up as Jace walked over to them, "Hey." She said, hugging him, falling into him.

---

Lucas smiled as he held Gabby up, "Gabs pull your shit together. Jace is gonna be mad at me." He said as he let her hold onto the table. He took a sip of his beer as Jace approached them, "She is slightly intoxicated." He said. He looked at Nicole giving her a small smile. "Glad to see you decided to join us." He teased.

The next night Jace got to the bar to find Gabby completely wasted. "Lucas you're suppose to keep an eye on her." he said catching Gabby as she fell into him. He frowned and looked into her eyes. "What did she take?" he asked Lucas. His cousin couldn't pull that on him. He had done drugs long enough to know how someone looked on them. Jace cupped Gabby's cheek. "Honey are you alright?" he asked and kissed her head. He was worried about her honestly. She had been doing this more and more often. Usually he was there with her but it wasn't even half way into the night and she was already out for the count.

---

Nicole raised an eyebrow at Lucas as he spoke to her. "I'm not here for you so get over yourself. Gabby?" she turned her back to Lucas and looked at Gabby worriedly. "Jace you look worried." she said. She wouldn't be as worried if Jace wasn't but the way he was yelling at Lucas and how he looked at Gabby made her worried. Nicole ran a hand through her hair. She was in a tight black dress showing off her sides. Nicole's hair ran down her back in long brown waves shinning with the lights that moved over them. Nicole shook her head as Jace took Gabby towards the seats. She turned towards Lucas with darts in her eyes and then walked towards the bar. "A water please." she requested and then thought again. "And a shot of rum." she said wanting one to calm her nerves.

Gabby laughed softly as he helped her to the couch. She leaned against the couch slowly passing out as she sat there. She passed out her head falling onto Jace's shoulder. Gabby knew she shouldn't have tried to keep up with Lucas, but she couldn't help herself. It just seemed like a good idea at the time.

---

Lucas sighed, "I'm not a babysitter Jace." He said as he took a swig of his beer. He walked after Nicole, "So what you are going to act like you don't know me now?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. He took a sip of his beer and looked around the club, seeing Gabby and Jace. "I didn't think she would get that fucked up." He muttered.

Nicole looked up as Lucas talked to her. "Yeah pretty much except this time I know not to sleep with you." she said and smiled at the bar tender as he gave her her drinks. She downed the rum and then took the water smoldering past Lucas. "And it doesn't matter if she's you're friend or even a friend of a friend you look out for them!" she said and then walked away and towards Gabby and Jace. She frowned seeing her passed out. "Jace help me get her to the bathroom." she said going to give her friend a rude awakening but if they didn't get some of what she ingested out then her then she could be overdosing or who knows what.

---

"Gabby!" Jace shouted over the music moving her hair out of her face. "Gabby wake up." he said and ran his hand into her hair. He looked up as Nicole came over. "Nicole what do we do?" he asked. He had never gone this far and he had never seen Gabby go this far before either. He helped her get Gabby to the woman's bathroom. He helped Nicole as she helped her friend over the toilet and made her gag. "That's it get it out." Nicole said and Jace ran a hand through his hair holding Gabby up.

Gabby threw up, coughing as she felt Nicole push her hair out of her face. She oushed the girls hand out of her face, "Get off me." She muttered as she fell back onto the floor, leaning against Jace's legs. She closed her eyes and sighed. "I wanna go home." She whispered.

----

Lucas sighed as she left then walked away. He frowned as he paid his bill and left. He knew that Jace was going to yell at him and he wanted to avoid it tonight. He got back to the apartment and sighed. Lucas laid on the couch, watching tv.

Jace moved down and held Gabby in his arms. Nicole frowned and handed Gabby the drink. "Here honey drink this first." she said softly. Jace took the water and gently held it to her lips. "Please babe just a sip then I'll take you home." he said and bit his lip looking nervously at Gabby. "I'm taking her to you're place Nicole." he said and she nodded giving him the key from Gabby's purse. Jace took it and once Gabby had drank some water he lifted her up and took her outside to get a cab.

---

Nicole sighed hating how Gabby had been so angry with her. She knew it sucked to throw up but she had done it to help her. Once she saw Gabby off with Jace she knew she would be alright but she was still pissed. Nicole looked around for Lucas and then got in a taxi having a feeling were he would go. She went to his house and knocked on the door. "Lucas!" she yelled banging on the door.

Gabby nodded and took a sip of the water. Once they got back to her house she staggered inside with the help of Jace and laid down on her bed. She looked up at him, "I'm sorry." She whispered, hoping he wasn't angry with her. She hated to upset people and she didn't want Jace to be mad.

---

Lucas sighed when he heard Nicole yelling his name. He opened the door, "Yes?" He asked as he stood in the doorway. "How is Gabs?" He asked as he stepped to the side to let her in. She seemed pissed, but he was still concerned about her.
