Aghhhh I'll never drink again! But why did I decide to drink alcohol? My head is going to burst at any moment, I don't have the slightest doubt.

I look at the clock and see that it is 2:20 pm and I am very surprised to have slept so late, but then I remember that when we got home there were already rays of sunlight on the street.

Zach must be awake because I can hear the blender in the kitchen, and I bet he's making those hangover drinks he likes so much... I honestly tasted it once and had to run to the toilet to throw up what I had in my stomach! That has a raw egg! Literally!

When I gather the courage to get up, I drag myself to the bathroom to do my business. I wash my face with ice water and brush my teeth to get rid of the dead breath I feel I have, put on a Sunday outfit, which consists of a pair of sweatpants and a giant t-shirt, and head to the kitchen.

When I get to the kitchen, I see that my theory is proven and that, in fact, Zach is sitting on one of the benches on the island drinking his juice.

"Good morning Mimi!" He says with a strange joy for someone who drank dozens of shots a few hours before.

"Blah... I need a pill to get this headache out!" I say as I rummage through the medicine drawer. "Oh! Found it."

I take the medicine with a glass of water, and I sit in a chair at the table and say: "Where's your girlfriend?"

"Oh... I tried to wake her up, but she called me 30 different nasty names and I figured I'd better let her be and get up to her rhythm..." he says with a smug face.

"I can imagine! I know I drank a lotyesterday, but she managed to drink more than I did! If I know her, when shewakes up, she's going to take one of those very long baths and do I a lot ofskin treatments to cleanse the pores of alcohol, like her usually says."

"Oh I know...she's always like that", he says with a knowing smile. "What about us? How about we order food? I don't feel like cooking!"

"Yes, yes, yes! What a great idea! Chinese food? I feel like noodles!" I respond very enthusiastically to the idea.

"Noodles will be, then." He picks up the phone and orders us food, already counting on Rachel that will want to eat when she's done with her skin purification process.

While we wait for our food, I turn on the television and start picking out something for us to watch on Netflix.

"I never know what to choose to see! Fancy something special Zach?" I ask.

"Um... What do you think of Grey's Anatomy? I know you've seen it all with Rach but I'm only at the beginning of the third season..."

"Good idea! I'll give it a go then!" I say as I prepare everything for an afternoon watching one of my favorite series!

Me and Rachel are addicted to Grey's Anatomy! We've seen all the seasons and we're always waiting for new ones... and while they don't come out, we review the previous seasons! Rachel forced Zach to start watching the series a while ago, but I think he's really enjoying it!

When the food arrives, Zach and I sit on the couch and watch the show. Two episodes later, an unenthusiastic Rachel comes over to us, grabs a box of food and a blanket, and sits curled up on Zach.

"Good afternoon princess", I say with a smirk on my face.

"Good afternoon dear friend", she says ironically.

"How's the hangover, love?" Zach asks while giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"It's better...thanks for asking and thanks for remembering me when you ordered food! And Zach, sorry about the way I talked to you earlier" She says as she hugs him.
