Cleo and I watched the hotel that Syn told us this "meeting" was and I briefly sat in my seat. It was almost seven but there was no sign of Queen just yet. I honestly hoped we didn't see her at all so Syn would kiss her ass for the rest of eternity as she deserved.

"What do we do if she shows up?" I asked Cleo.

"We have to tell, Syn," she said with a sigh. "No one deserves to be cheated on."

"Will you still be her friend?" I asked. I knew I would. I'd have a long talk with her, but Queen was too good of a person to just drop like that.

"Hell yeah," Cleo said. "Ima beat her ass first though."

I laughed softly at her words and kept my eyes on the luxury hotel. I tapped Cleo's shoulder as a limousine pulled up to the hotel, and when we saw Queen exit, we gasped in shock.

"Fuck," I snapped as I hit the steering wheel. It made a loud honk and our eyes widened when Queen turned in our direction. Thankfully the tinted windows on our car kept us completely out of view.

Cleo hit the back of my head and I glared at her. "Blow our cover, why don't you?!"

I was about to respond when her eyes widened as she looked outside. I turned to look in the direction she was and my mouth dropped when I saw a man with his arms around Queen.

"What are they saying?" Cleo asked.

I closed my eyes to listen in to the conversation and I frowned as I heard French from the man. "Tu es magnifique, mon amour."

"He said she looks beautiful and he called her my love," I translated.

"You know I don't speak French, Theo," Queen said with a small laugh.

"I will teach you," he teased in a thick accent.

"Queen said she doesn't speak French and he said he'll teach her," I repeated.

"Teach her?!" She exclaimed. "What the fuck does that mean?"

I shrugged and focused back on their conversation. "What's the plan for tonight?" Queen asked.

"There is a lot planned. Let's go upstairs, chérie."

"They're going upstairs," I said.

"Oh hell nah," Cleo groaned. "Fuck, dude."

The man guided Queen inside the hotel as he held his hand at the small of her back and I shook my head.

"What if it's friendly?" I asked. I didn't want to believe Queen was the type to do this.

"Did you see the dress?" Cleo asked as she rubbed her head. I shrugged and recalled her dress. It was a black long sleeve mini dress but I didn't put much thought into it.

"What do we do?" I questioned.

"We need to tell Syn," she said sadly. "I'm just so shocked right now, babe."

"Me too," I admitted. "Xavier texted me and told me they're at the diner. Let's go meet them there, I guess. Are you ready for this?"

"Not at all."

꧁꧂

I held Cleo's hand as we walked into the diner and Xavier waved at us when he saw us. We walked in this direction until we were at the table and she took a seat next to Xavier while I slid in next to Syn.

"Well?" Xavier asked hopefully.

I looked towards Syn who had his face buried in his hand and I took a deep breath before looking back at Xavier. "I'm sorry."

"What happened?" Xavier asked.

"Syn," I spoke. "Do you want to know the details?"

"Yes," he whispered weakly.

"Well umm," Cleo started. "We went to the hotel and waited for anything. We saw Queen and after a while, some French dude named Theo came out. They hugged and talked about going up to some room."

Syn lifted his head and I frowned when I saw his puffy eyes. In all my time knowing him, I'd never seen him look so miserable. He didn't even look this bad when he was dying. "So she's cheating."

"We think so," Cleo said softly. "I'm sorry, Syn."

He shrugged and I wrapped my arm over his shoulder comfortingly. I only truly realized how fucked up he was when he didn't even try moving my arm off of him.

"We're here if anything, Syn," I assured him.

He nodded weakly and I shook my head in disappointment. Out of all the ways Queen could hurt him, I never thought it would be because of infidelity.

"You know what?" Cleo asked. "You need a night out or something. Get your mind off of everything and just let loose."

"I'm not in the partying mood," Syn said lowly.

"It could help," I added. "You can get blackout drunk and cry if you want."

"That doesn't sound appealing," he muttered.

"Why not?" Xavier asked. "We could invite everyone and get our minds off of everything. I'm sure Cain and Adam would need one too."

"Fine," Syn agreed. "When?"

"Well, it's barely eight," Cleo said. "We can go home, get dressed, and just go."

"I'm down," Xavier said. "You guys?"

I nodded in his direction and Syn shrugged from beside me. "It sounds like a plan," I said. "But I have a question for Syn?"

"What?" He said as he turned to me.

"Are you single right now?" I asked.

"Cas, you're married," he said flatly.

My smile dropped and Xavier and Cleo burst out into laughter in front of us. Syn was a hot guy of course, but I would never. He was way too intimidating for no reason at all.

"That's not what I meant," I said.

"Then what?" He questioned.

"I just want us to know what to expect tonight. Will you be talking to other girls or possibly going home with them?"

"No, I still love her."

"Okay good," I said with a nod. "I thought this was going to be one of those get over someone by getting under someone else situation."

"Does that work?" Syn asked curiously.

Fuck.
