AUTUMN'S POV

✦The Morning After ✦

I wish someone would've told me sooner what it felt like to be hungover...-the headaches and nausea were really affecting me, not to mention waking up with a dry mouth like I hadn't drank water in days.

This is what hell feels like, huh? My train of thought was interrupted by a plate of eggs being placed in front of me by Kai.

He's been taking care of me this morning; thankfully, I don't know what I would do without him. The siphon held my hair back early today while throwing up, and never complained one minute of it. Not to mention, he helped me calm down afterward due to my fear of vomiting.

Abnormal fear, but it's real, alright? Don't laugh at me.

And now, we sat together on my couch, enjoying some scrambled eggs with orange juice because that's all I had in my fridge, and it was a wake-up call to go grocery shopping soon. Maybe Kai can go with me today, at least then, I won't be so bored.

Shopping can be tedious and boring when you go alone, and ever since I've lived alone? It's been pretty depressing, and it made me realize how much I miss my family back in the Gemini Coven. I need to see them soon.

"Your first hangover!" I heard Kai gleam like a proud father, "One of many more." He trails off sheepishly while shoving eggs down his throat as I look at him in horror. "If it makes me feel like this each time, then never again." I managed to mutter. Meanwhile, the siphon gave me a knowing look as if saying, yeah, right, but I know I won't.

At the end of the day, my drinking habits were influenced by Kai and his dramatics. I for sure need to find another way to cope with his bipolar behavior. Drinking ain't it, and I won't go through this again, not to mention how embarrassing it was for me.

"Suck it up, little Orange. It wasn't that bad, was it? You get used to it after a while, and on the plus side, it felt good to be drunk, huh?" He nudged my side, turning to look at the tv. I shoved eggs down my throat as the memory of beating the shit out of Anabelle resurfaced.

Not being able to stop the smile that formed on my lips, I spoke. "It did feel good to beat the shit out of Annabelle with no regrets- I mean, being drunk makes you feel like you're on top of the world. I will give you that, Kai Parker." I point out, "But being  influenced by alcohol is so not my thing."

The blue-eyed boy snorts, "Man, for a second there? I almost forgot you're a bore." He spat while I slammed my plate on the coffee table and crawled on top of him. Honestly, I don't know if the fact that I was sick of hearing him say that caused me to straddle him or the confidence that still lingered within me, but here I am, sitting on his lap while glaring at him.
