"Kiara?" Luna, her younger sister, came knocking on her bedroom door the next afternoon.

"Bruh Luna, go awayyyyy," Kiara groaned, still half asleep in her bed.

"Girl, it's time to get up," Luna still walked in anyway, despite the fact that Kiara just told her to go away. "You won't get rid of your hangover by just laying in bed all day."

"Luna, bruh why are you even here?" Kiara very reluctantly sat up against the headboard. And in that very moment, she was extremely appreciative of the black-out curtains she recently invested in because bright light was the last thing she wanted to see after the type of night she just had.

"I'm here because you got drunk as hell last night. I had to bring you home cause you was beyond gone- like you was out of it. And since I was already here, and also covered in your nasty ass vomit, I decided to shower and just stay in case you needed anything."

"Oh my God... I'm so sorry you had to see me like that."

"You're good, sis. We all been there."

Kiara rubbed at her temples before she continued talking, "I don't even feel like I drank that much. Like how the fuck I get that drunk last night?"

"Maybe cause your ass was mixing dark with clear liquor knowing that shit fucks you up every time. You was really showing your ass last night."

"Please tell me I ain't do no wild shit. Tell me I ain't do nothing crazy."

"What's your definition of crazy?"

"Like anything outta character that I wouldn't do sober? Cause you know I don't be getting lit like that. I don't remember the last time I got drunk let alone got this fucking drunk."

"Nah, you ain't do nothing crazy. You was pretty chill actually. The only thing you did that was outta the norm for you was follow that Monique girl into one of the private rooms for whatever the hell reason."

"Shit," Kiara mumbled under her breath, realizing that what she did with Monie was in fact not just a dream. "I really did that?"

"Mmhm," Luna hummed. "And you had bitches talking about that the rest of the night. Cause tell me why House Mom Darci said that a lot of the girls was talking shit about the whole situation in the locker room afterward."

"I swear those bitches get on my last fucking nerve," Kiara said as she threw her blanket off of her and finally got up out of her bed and headed to her bathroom.

"I mean... you did follow Monique back to a private room. And as the club's owner? I'm sorry to say it sis, but that looks real unprofessional on your part. I'd be talking about that too, cause what even happened in there?"

"Nothing happened," Kiara immediately turned on the water in the shower stall so it could warm up while she brushed her teeth.

"Nothing, as in...?"

"As in nothing," Kiara just repeated, hoping that would make Luna stop pressing her about it.

"Aight Kiara. If you don't wanna tell me, that's fine," she shrugged. "Just hurry up and get ready, cause we got an hour before we gotta head out."

Kiara just silently nodded her head because she was still brushing her teeth. Luna left the bathroom, and Kiara finished up at the sink before stripping out of the clothes she doesn't even remember changing into and then stepping into the steamy shower stall.
