Dark Veil (Roleplay)

I laugh with him. In the silence that follows, I look around and notice that Cindra is sitting on one of the other beds. She probably heard everything we just said, including about me kissing Raphael. My cheeks heat up again at the thought.
 
I vaguely noticed that James and Misa were talking, but I was in a daze, and was staring off into space.
Eventually, I dozed off, leaning against the wall.
 
I go back into the Aura room. "Rapheal and Misa, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
 
"No-" I start, before Taylor comes in singing. My face burns red for what feels like the tenth time today, and I turn around in an attempt to hide it.
 
I open one eye sleepily, then close it as I see Taylor in the room. Best just to pretend I'm asleep...
 
"Um... I'm, um, going to get a drink,"I mumble. I then stand up and run downstairs to the bar, barging past Taylor and almost knocking him to the floor as I pass him in the doorway.
 
"Um okay...James...say, do you know why Fein was with Cindra earlier today?"
 
Assuming Cindra was asleep, I decide to be honest with him. "Look man, I think the two of them have... How do I put this... I think they are back together."
 
I sit down on one of the bar stools, and decide to do something that I've never intentionally done before, get myself drunk. I order a beer, which is the only form of alcohol that I know I can handle without throwing up.
 
"Yeah, but you have to admit, it was obvious they were going to get back together." I shrug. "Wait, did you actually have feelings for her? I thought you were just putting it on."

"I genuinely did...but I guess it's too late. Well, I'll be down by the pool, see ya. I realize that I still had my swim trunks on from the mission, so I just took of the armor, got into the pool, and just laid there, floating on my back.
 
After drinking the first can, I get a six pack of them and take it out to the pool. I don't even notice Taylor as I sit n one of the pool chairs and crack a can open.
 
I nod and Taylor exits. Maybe I should go see if Alex has calmed down. I set off down the hall and take my time, for some reason I felt bad, like it was my fault.
