oh, to dream..

.. FIVE..

When they say a hangover is just your body reminding you that your an idiot, I've never really believed it. Until now. Waking up this morning can only be described as feeling like I had eaten a sheet of sandpaper and listened to heavy metal music for 12 hours. I am in absolute bits. I barely remember anything from quite soon after arriving at the club so imagine my surprise when I rolled over in bed and found another human.  I let out a little yelp and quickly checked under the duvet to check out the situation, and yes, I was completely naked, as was the man next to me. Speaking of the man next to me in bed, he starts to stir a little bit "morning to you too" he says, in what has to be the most husky voice I have ever heard as he sits up in bed, leaning against the headboard.

"Errm.. Good morning. Who are you?" I say, as I pull the duvet up closer to my neck.
"I'm Alex, we met in the club and ended up here, do you not remember?" He says
"Not exactly, but I was drinking a lot last night, so you can't really blame me"
"Yeah, we were both in quite a state last night, but we certainly had fun" he says with a smirk
"I'm sure we did" I reply sheepishly "did you want a tea or coffee or something?" I say as I pull his shirt over my body, before going over to the dresser and getting some clean underwear on.
"I'd love a coffee- milk 1 sugar. Do you want me to come help you?"
"It's okay, I'll bring it back here for you" I smile and walk out the room, making sure i close the door behind me. I walk into the kitchen and flick the kettle on before getting some mugs out of the cupboard and the milk from the fridge. I take a quick look at the clock on the wall and have to check it again, not believing it as it says 11.15am, where did all that time go? As I stare into space as i wait for the water to boil, I start remembering the previous night, the grinding on the dance floor, the rush back into the bedroom and of course the orgasms, oh my god do i remember the orgasms. I hear a door open and close before hearing footsteps in the hallway "it's really okay Alex, I'm gonna bring it back into bed" i say, not looking up as I prep the coffee's. I'm greeted by Emily's smug face entering the kitchen. I instantly feel my cheeks begin to blush.

"Don't you say anything. How could you let me drink so much! I don't even remember meeting him, let alone whatever it was that followed after" I look at Emily sternly, making sure my voice was no more than a whisper.
"Listen baby girl, you got yourself into that state at your own free will and honestly you were really enjoying yourself from what i could see at the club" I could tell Em was trying her best not to let the laughter she was withholding, escape her lips.
"But it's so unlike me, to meet someone when we go out and  bring them home, let alone have sex with them. I mean it was really wonderful sex and he is bloody gorgeous, but it's so unlike me" the kettle finishes boiling and I make the coffees
"It's alright, live your life. You're going to be travelling the world soon enough, so you need to get all the good dick that you can, whilst you can. It was a good night though, wasn't it?" Emily says as she grabs a mug to make her own coffee.
"Oh absolutely, we haven't finished this discussion either young Lady, once my visitor has gone, we are gonna have a nice big chat!" As i grab the mugs off the side, i see a look of fear flash across Emily's eyes.

I head back to bed and have the usual pillow talk with Alex as we drink our coffees, I find out that he is a landscape gardener and was out with his friends on a stag do, and I can't help but feel guilty for taking him away from his friends. Alex tries to reassure me that even the groom to be had left to see his fiancée by the point we met so no-one probably noticed that much. I grab my phone from my bag and notice quickly how it is only on 6% battery so i reach for my phone charger and plug it in, as the screen lights up i notice I have a missed call from Harry but no voicemail. Once I finish my coffee I tell Alex that I'm just going to have a shower, in the hope that by the time I get back, he will have got himself together to leave. This point of a one night stand is the reason i hate them and why i only have ever had one before last night. When hungover, nothing feels better than a nice hot shower and a hair wash, actually a hot sugary coffee might top the list of hangover cures for me.

I go back into my room and see Alex dressed apart from his shirt, which I was wearing before my shower. "Here you go, sorry about that" I say as I hand back his shirt. Alex puts his shirt on straight away and then asks "can I just borrow your phone so i can call a taxi- my phone has died"
"Of course you can" I hand him my phone, unlocking it as I pass it over. As Alex starts speaking on the phone, I walk over to my wardrobe and dresser and start to get my outfit ready for today. It's just gonna be a grey trackie bottom and comfy hoodie day, but I pop a t shirt on whilst Alex is here, so I don't look like a complete slob. Alex walks over and passes my phone back and as I go to take it, our hands brush against each other.
"I've saved my number in your phone, I'm sure you'll find me in there." He leans down and presses a sweet kiss to my cheek. He then moves towards my ear and whispers "I'd quite like to see you again because I'd love to hear those sweet noises you made underneath me as i made you cum another time". He pulls away and I'm sure he can see the goosebumps over my neck.

"Can you walk me out?" He says as he opens the door of my room and looks over at me and raises an eyebrow, I realise I must have been stood there with a stunned look on my face. I snap out of it and walk past him to the front door where I open it and stand with my back to the door "well Alex, it was lovely to meet you, I had a great night from what i can remember but I now have to curl up on the sofa and die, as i succumb to this dreadful hangover" Alex laughs and then presses a kiss to the top of my head "bye Olivia, message me" he says with a wink, as he walks out. I close the door and let out a big sigh, resting my head against the door itself.

"So... I'm gonna need some juicy details " Emily says, making me jump out of my skin.
"Shit Em. Why would you sneak up on me like that" I say as I walk past her into the kitchen, i put some toast in the toaster and put the kettle on to boil once again. Emily sits at the kitchen island and rests her head on her hands waiting for the details expectantly.  I fill her in on the whole Alex situation over coffee and toast and make sure to tell her what he said about wanting to see me again and when even Em is shocked, you know it must be good!!
"But enough about me, what did you get up to last night my lovely best friend. Did you end up dancing with anyone or meeting anyone?" I say witha sly grin on my face.
"Errr, no not really. Not as eventful as your night! Where did you meet this Alex guy anway?"
"No, no, no. We're not changing the subject missy. I saw the pair of you, you know"
Emily's eyes widen "who? Me? I didn't meet anyone though"
"Emily, I saw you and Jake together . I'm not an idiot" I say, placing my hand over hers.
"Liv, its nothing serious yet. It honestly isn't. It's just flirting, kissing and heavy petting but nothing seri-"
"It's fine, you looked so good together but I just didn't know why you hadn't told me yet" I try and reassure her.
"And you're not pissed off?" Emily says, almost in shock.
"Of course I'm not, my two best friends getting together for real, why would I not want that!"
"Oh my goodness, thanks Liv it means so much. It also means I can sleep with him now that you know and my god did that take some inner strength last night. I didn't want to do it until I had your approval. Because with sex comes..."
"Feelings" I say, finishing our relationship mantra. Emily pulls me into a hug and I squeeze her as hard as i can until I hear my phone ringing back in my room. I jump down and run into my room and pick up the phone before I can  see who it was that was actually calling.

"Hello, Olivia King speaking"
"Hi Olivia, it's Harry, from Comms at McLaren"
"Hi Harry, sorry I missed your call earlier, I was in the shower. Is everything okay?"
"That's alright, I just wanted to call and let you know that you"ll be heading to Imola with the team for the next Grand Prix in 2 weeks time. Well actually the flights in a week and half- does that sound okay?"
"Yes, yes that sounds amazing!!"
"Great- you'll get more information within the week but I just wanted to let you know so you didn't start making plans or anything like that"
"Oh that's fantastic, thanks so much Harry!"
"No problem Olivia, enjoy quali and the race and I'll see you next week!"
"Bye"

I throw my phone on my bed and go screaming into Emily, who has retreated into her bed.

"Guess who's going to Imola baby!!"
