Honey - Halsey
She was sweet like honey And all I can taste is the blood in my mouth And the bitterness in goodbye Drippin' like honey Down the back of my throat and on the front of my mind And well, she's impatient and I'm complacent With just a little taste of wastin' time
“You know what I’m gonna tell you, right?” Jan prompted as she walked Jackie home from Nicky’s apartment – Nicky never outright said it, but Jackie knew it was best for her to be gone before she woke up, and she wasn’t one to question it.
“That this relationship is toxic and the amazing sex doesn’t justify the heartache I put myself through?” Jackie retorted with a tired annoyance tinging her voice. She wasn’t frustrated with Jan – though she wasn’t fond of the ‘I told you so’ talks during her walk of shame, but she was frustrated with herself. She had always considered herself too smart to let herself fall into this situation, and she usually didn’t go for girls like Nicky.
Nicky was a wild, uninhibited party girl. She was dancing on a table on the night Jackie met her. But instead of deterring Jackie, it drew her in, it was intoxicating. Then the hookups became more regular and the line between fuck-buddies and girlfriends became more and more blurry.
“You need to understand, I don’t do relationships,” Nicky had warned her once they had started hooking up regularly. “I like you, you’re fun. Just remember where things stand.”
And Jackie did her best to adhere to that. It was easy in the heated, passionate moments. She could lose herself in how good Nicky felt, how sweet she tasted. It was the aftermath that stung bitterly, the cold ‘goodbye’s on the mornings she wasn’t out before her lover awoke.
“It’s not going to stop you though, is it?” Jan asked, jolting Jackie off of her train of thought.
“Probably not,” she conceded, glancing at her phone and seeing a text from Nicky. “See? Look, she invited me out to dinner tonight.”
“You think she’s gonna take you on an actual date?”
Jackie shrugged. “She seems like she means it.” And that was enough for her, she was mean, but she was hers… sort of.
