Coraline

Pain.

A ringing welcomes it's way into my head along with a slight ringing in my ears.

Sharp daylight forces me to open my eyes from the peaceful sleep I was adrift to. I don't want to wake up yet.

I force my eyes open and squint into the daylight lit room.

At least I know where I am. I just don't remember what happened after I entered this room. I presume I just fell straight asleep. I don't feel anything different, so I must have passed out.

Screeching of what sounds to be pipes turning off makes me pinch my eyes shut in discomfort.

There must be a bathroom in this room.

I slowly drag myself up to sit against the headboard.

Looking around, I see my stuff laying on the floor beside me and random bits of clothing scattered everywhere.

My jacket, shorts and stocking lay in a neat pile on the chair near the window. I don't remember getting undressed.

I pull up the blanket to see a Led Zeppelin tshirt over my body and a small pair of grey shorts.

These aren't mine..

I hear a door open and I snap my head over to the bathroom door to see Damiano standing in the doorway in just a towel around his waist.

That's kind of hot.

"You're awake, I figured I'd let you sleep" he smiles, reaching down to pick clothes up off the floor.

Did something happen last night? Do I just not remember getting changed? Whose clothes even are these?

He seems to catch onto what I'm thinking as I stare back down into the blanket.

"Oh, shit. I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, nothing happened, Victoria got you changed into more comfortable clothes in the middle of the night"

That's a relief, I guess.

"You didn't see anything..?" How embarrassing would that be.

He drags a pair of pants up his legs before taking the towel off his hips, chucking it to the side. "Oh, no. I was asleep, she woke me up just to let me know".

Well that makes me feel better.

This headache won't be leaving anytime soon sadly. I need pills.

I grab my phone off the floor and check my messages.

Holy hell it's 12:48pm.

Ma; I didn't hear from you last night, I hope you had fun. I'd love to see videos if you got any!

Ahh I forgot to text ma the video. In all honesty, I was practically dragged away from the whole event so I was completely sidetracked.

"How long were you staying in Rome for?"

I turn my head to see Damiano now with trousers on.

"A week, I was going to go stay with my father from tonight" I yawn, throwing the blanket off me.

I needed to go to the hotel to get my things and sign out before 2pm.

"How far away is that?" He asks, brushing his hair in the mirror.

"About 20 minutes away from here? I can't remember, but I know how to get there. I need to go to my hotel and grab my stuff before 2".

Most of my stuff was still in my car, I needed to get that too.
