Kristen's POV

After lunch, the whole day was a big blur for me. Maybe it was because the girls dared me to drink two more of those fruity drinks in the middle of the day and if I didn't do it, they would make me get a tattoo of a troll on my leg. Obviously, I picked the less humiliating one.

I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. I don't handle alcohol well, you see. Everybody knows I'm not an alcoholic and the only time I ever drink is if someone dared me to or if I really needed to. I didn't have much of a choice yesterday and I knew this would happen. I was kind of worried about my actions last night since I don't remember anything I did.

"Good morning Wavy Robin!" Nathan greeted loudly, making me cover my face with a pillow.

"Too loud." I croaked, my voice sounded so cracked and dry.

"Oh right, you're hungover... sorry. Here, drink these. It'll help with your headache." Nathan offered as I removed the pillow from my face and sat up to drink the Advil he gave me.

He handed me a glass of water which I thankfully took and finished. He sat beside me and looked at me with a smile.

"Better?" he asked, rubbing my back soothingly as I nodded.

"Thanks." I said, ruffling my bed hair in proper order. I was hesitant to ask but here it goes, "What happened to me yesterday? People say I'm a bit crazy when I'm drunk. Did I do anything crazy?"

He was shocked at my questions at first but recomposed himself to answer. "Well, you ran around the house saying 'Tissue should be against the law!' because you found one under your shoe and it wouldn't come off. You were calling Jackie a derf and all of us didn't know why because you wouldn't tell us. You managed to dip your head in the pool and ran when Pat tried to stop you. You tried to also jump on the pool because you said you were a new superhero called Wavy Robin and you can breathe under water. And... uhh... there was something else." Nathan informed and my jaw was on the ground.

All the information Nathan listed off made me groan, embarrassed that my friends had to witness my drunkenness and irritated that I couldn't remember anything.

"Oh my God. That was so embarrassing. I'm so sorry." I breathed out, covering my flushed face with my hands.

"It's okay. We didn't blame you. We always thought you were crazy when you drink and we all vowed to never dare you to do that again." Nathan said, putting his arm around my shoulder.

I tensed when he touched me because I felt like... like... ugh. I can't explain but I felt... safe.

"Good because I'm never doing that again." I huffed, blinking the tiredness out of my eyes. "Where are the others?" I asked, feeling the need to rest my head on his lap so I did. This time, I felt him tense up but quickly relaxed as I got comfortable.

"They went out and explored the city. I wanted to go with them but I'm afraid of leaving you alone here." he answered and I hummed.

I closed my eyes, the headache slowly disappearing. "You could've joined them. I could take care of myself and besides, Diana's here to help."

"I wanted to be here when you woke up. Now, shut up and just appreciate my effort." He jokingly hissed, making me giggle a bit.

I felt his hand run through my hair, caressing it as gently as possible as I purred like a cat. He kept touching my hair then began to trace the outlines of my face with his delicate fingers as goosebumps run up my spine and it was not from the coldness of the temperature in the room. I didn't stop him when I felt his thumb swipe over my bottom lip, making my breath hitch because I liked him touching me like this.
