The Cost of Love

Chapter 6: The Day After

"Wake up Dylan!" I heard my mom shout from outside my door. 

I looked up to glance at the time to see why she would possibly feel the need to wake me up. My eyes widened as I saw the time read "3:30PM".

"Holy shit!!!" I yelled and leapt out of bed. I had never stayed up this late before. I guess the alcohol left me comatose. 

I went downstairs to have breakfast...or at least what I considered my breakfast. 

"I'm so happy you seemed to have a good time last night! I'm glad you are getting out more and enjoying your college life!" My mom smiled and patted my head. "I just hope that you don't do anything too out of control. Always make sure to be careful." 

"Aw thanks mom! You know that I never do anything without thinking it through." I felt myself choking on my own lies since I didn't double think my time with that guy from last night. 

She smiled warmly, as I finished my breakfast. 

I didn't even think to check my phone since last night. I saw 15 missed text messages mostly from Adrianna telling me about her night. I noticed one from Claire that read "Call me." I called her almost immediately after reading that out of curiosity and concern. 

"So I saw you walk off to go to a dorm room last night player!" She said completely skipping the need for hellos.  

"Uhhh...I...uh...yeah" I replied stuttering. My face began to blush even though we were only speaking via phone. I wasn't even aware that I had even gone to a dorm room. 

 "Haha nice job!!!!" She replied. I could hear her eagerness to talk about this even further. "Sooo who's the guy? I assume he's the one that drove you home since you told me you had a ride home!" 

"Yeah." Hearing all this was a complete surprise to me. I assumed she had driven me home. 

"Hmm dodging the first question?" 

"Uhhh to be completely honest...I don't know. I was so drunk I really don't remember anything else. I just remember giving him head." 

She laughed immediately. "Oh my god!!! You drunken slut!" 

I rolled my eyes as I said "You know I'm normally not like that! I guess the alcohol got to me and I missed feeling somebody's touch." 

"Aww no I understand. Just joking with you! Hehehe" 

"So how did your night go?" I asked curiously. "I saw you hooking up with that guy...Luke?"

"Oh yeah!! He was a nice guy! We kept it to just making out. He seems really nice so maybe we will start to date!" I heard the excitement in her voice. I was happy for her. 

"Aw that's awesome!" 

"Who knows maybe you and your guy will become an item as well!"
