I rolled over in bed, pulling the sheets along with me as it felt unusually comfortable. I've been working so hard that I forgot what it felt like to sleep in my bed. It's a waste of money to not enjoy it. Today is one of those days when I don't want to leave, I also don't feel good.
I have a hangover.
Josh is the reason for that.
I slowly sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
"Ah...", I winced as I held my head.
I have a bad headache. At least I don't feel sick, well not yet.
I moved the covers off of me and then swung my legs over the edge of my bed. I was still dressed from last night. I must have passed out or something, makes sense. A hot shower will wake me up.
I spent a long time letting the water relax my body. Since I don't remember where I'm supposed to be this morning, I wasn't in a rush to leave.
I put on some sweatpants and then headed towards the kitchen.
My eyes were still adjusting. Suddenly I felt something crash into me. I quickly reached for my belt for a weapon but forgot I wasn't in uniform. Good thing because I forgot she was here.
"Sarina?"
"Tyler. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
I rubbed my head, really trying hard to remember why she's here. I looked at her up and down to see she was still in her dress.
"You were here all night?"
"Y-Yes. Sorry, I was going to tell you. I didn't know what to do. I had left my money home so I couldn't call for a taxi after I drove you home."
That's right, she drove my car since I was drunk which left her stranded here.
"Where did you sleep?"
"On the couch. It's quite comfortable actually."
I looked over to see she made herself at home there.
I sighed.
"You could have...woke me up or something. I could have called for a taxi or at least told you about the guest bedroom."
"It's okay Tyler. I wasn't a planned guest."
"Yeah...but still—"
Now I was feeling the hangover even more now.
"Are you okay", she asked.
"Just...stay right there."
A few minutes later I emerged from the bathroom. False alarm. Still, I was feeling awful.
I headed back to the living room where Sarina was waiting.
"Do you need me to bring you food?"
I sat down before saying anything.
