[SYN] WHO: Nathaniel Ellis and [Eli] Caleb Gilbert WHAT: Ugh. WHEN: January 6, 2014 at 8:45p WHERE: Nate's apartment. RATING: TBD STATUS: Incomplete/Closed
Well that was horrible. Nate had totally screwed everything up with Fiona and while there was some relief there in the fact that it was out in the open now, and not something he was hiding from her forever, he was also devastated by the consequences. He had royally screwed up, and now to fix it, he needed to get wasted. And so of course, the first person he thought of was Caleb. Because who else did you go to, but your best friend? He was also the only one who knew about Nathaniel's inappropriate feelings for the married woman.
So he texted him a short while after Fiona had left, and set about cleaning his apartment. There was alcohol spilled, and he had to change. He hoped in the shower just to hose himself off and then hopped back out, throwing on pajamas because he didn't care to look as snazzy as he had tried to look for Fiona. The stew was still sitting out, perfect temperature to eat at this point. He still wanted to see if it was edible, and perhaps he would leave some for her tomorrow... As a peace offering. Just leave it outside her door or something. That would be well enough.
Checking his watch, he waited uneasily for Caleb to arrive.
