Chapter 17 Do What Was Right
After following Vance to the hotel he was at, Tia quickly returned home in her drunken stupor. Her friend really had no idea what was going on in Tia's mind. She was always so wishy-washy. She understood Tia more than Tia's mother did. When Tia got drunk, she was normally quite violent. Only on a rarity would she show an expression that said hey, I might have screwed up, and this was one of those times. "Tia, you can just forget about it the man did not make a fuss."
"Jill, if I did something wrong I should fess up! It's not like I go around beating up every man I see!" Tia yelled out as she picked up a pink floral shirt and a pair of purple pants.
"What are you saying!? Mostly all the men you meet get beaten up!" Jill held her head and looked at the clothes Tia was picking out and sighed. "Let me do it! What are you going to make him wear!? He will end up puking on them once he sees them!"
"He dares!?" Tia turned around a little too quickly and stumbled back and fell onto the floor on her butt. "Ow…. Jill, forget it, I want to sleep!"
Jill stood there with a set of clothes in her hand speechless. She wondered why she kept going out with this girl to drink when she was all over the place. "I will send the clothes. Go sleep! I am going home."
"Okay! If he tries to touch you, cut his dick off!" Tia yelled out as she lay on the floor and curled up into a ball, falling fast asleep. Jill looked at her friend and picked up the pink shirt and purple pants, and laid them over Tia. After which she turned and left the shop with a new pair of pants and shirt in hand. She had no idea if they would fit, but at the very least, it was better than nothing.
As for the culprit who was puked on, Vance walked into the room with food in his hand and put it on the small table to the side. "I will wash up…."
Alice held her nose as she looked at Vance, who was now shirtless and smelled like puke, in surprise, not understanding how he ended up this way when he had only gone out to get food. "What happened?"
"Some drunk girl decided to use me as a toilet! I need to wash my pants and boots after I bathe, so pardon my appearance when I come out." Vance only had his underwear left as he had given Alice his only spare set of clothes.
Alice suddenly felt really bad as she looked down at herself. "I can wear my dress…."
"No, it's fine. Keep that on for now. I will just wash this and dry it. Tomorrow I will go find a new shirt to wear. We can also get you proper clothing as well." Vance sighed. He was spending more money than he had planned.
"Ah…. Thank you…" Alice lowered her head. She walked over to the table and sat down, and pulled one of the boxed meals towards her. "Vance, I owe you a lot."
"It's fine. I will be back." Vance walked into the small bathroom that came with the room feeling kind of gloomy and quickly pulled off his clothes and began filling the tub. He really felt disgusting. While the tub was filling, he went to the sink and began washing them with cold water and soap. Only when he got everything off from what he could see did he leave the pants to soak and his boots to dry. When the tub was ready, he slowly sank down into it and rested his head on the edge as he let the hot water melt the stress off his body. Alice looked at the closed door of the bathroom and down at her clothing as she slowly ate her food. She couldn't help but smile a little.
Twenty minutes later, Vance walked out of the bathroom with his hair wet and his lower half wrapped in a towel. Although he had underwear on, he found it to be inappropriate to walk around like that in front of Alice. However, this did not keep Alice from blushing and taking peaks at Vance's naked upper half. "I think the men chasing you were taken care of today."
"What?" Alice paused her hand that had a fork full of food and looked at Vance in surprise.
"Yeah, the girl who puked on me was telling a story about someone showing up at her shop asking if they had sold any women's shoes. I guess they caused a fuss or something and were taken care of by the same girl. This is why I did not ask for anything since the girl basically did me a favor if what she said was true. So we can go out tomorrow and get you some clothes that properly fit." Vance felt this was not a bad idea. He also wanted to get a few sets of regular clothing for himself. Having only two pairs was not enough.
"Okay, I will listen to you." Alice was kind of happy she could go outside. She hated being cooped up in the room all day.
As the two chatted, a knock came at the door. Vance looked at Alice and pointed towards the bathroom. She nodded and quickly went into hiding. Vance got a fireball ready and walked over to the door, and opened it slightly to see who it was. When he saw one of the girls from earlier standing there, he relaxed a little and put out his fireball. "Can I help you?"
"Yes… Ummm here…" Jill handed the clothes to Vance with red cheeks. Vance's current attire left a lot to be questioned, as it only looked as if he was wearing a towel. "My friend wanted to apologize. She normally won't give a man the time of day, but she really felt bad for what she did. She would have come herself, but she passed out on the floor of her mother's shop, so here… this is to repay for the shirt and pants she ruined."
Vance stared blankly at the shirt and pants for a second. He was quite surprised they were willing to give repayment like that. He nodded and said: "Thanks. Tell your friend that I said thank you." He didn't even think to question how they knew where he was.
"I will…. Umm… Goodbye," Jill quickly turned and ran off. She was still slightly drunk herself, so she almost stumbled as she tried to run away. She was just happy she was able to do what was right. As Vance closed the door, he paused for a moment and asked himself out loud: "Wait, how did they find me!?"
