Beyond Logic

XIII. Men and their Secrets

Sebastian woke up the next morning with a massive head ache that one can only get from way too many shots of tequila. Aristotle appeared out of nowhere and start licking his face.

"Aris, noooo! Let me go back to sleep." He pleaded as he tried to shield his face from the gigantic overexcited dog.

"Morning!" A female voice greeted.

Sebastian sprung out of bed to see who was the owner of the feminine voice. His gaze landed on Anna who was standing by his bedroom door wearing... His clothes. He immediately looked under his covers only to find out that he was naked. Panic roused through him as he tried to remember what happened the night before.

"Did we... Did we sleep together?" He asked Anna as he tried to hide his embarrassment.

"You mean you don't remember anything?" Anna asked, seriously.

If hell was real, Sebastian was sure he was there at that moment. Before he could say anything else, Anna burst out laughing.

"Relax! Nothing happened. You were drunk as fuck so Dean and I drop you off here."

"But what are you doing wearing my clothes?"

"Because you fucking threw up all over me when Dean and I try to wrestle you out of doing something remarkably stupid."

Sebastian put his hands on his face, trying to hide his embarrassment but failing miserably in the process. It didn't help that Anna was still laughing her ass off.

"How about you start to get ready and meet me in the kitchen while I get our breakfast ready." Anna said as she stepped out of his room.

"Wait!" He asked, "if you're still here, where is Dean?" He needed to know where his friend is and know what exactly happened. Sebastian knows how his friend feels for Anna and he didn't want to complicate that by his idiocy.

Anna smiled, "Worried that you may or may not fucked up something, eh?"

"Oh, god!" Sebastian said as he combed his hair with his hand. "Please tell me I didnt do anything stupid. Was he mad?"

Anna started laughing again, "will you relax? He's not mad! He already left 'cause he's got an early class. If you don't start moving you'll be late, too."

"Oh fuck! I have Econ midterm today." Sebastian screamed as he finally dragged himself out of bed.

"Just fucking move your ass already. I'll fill you in later."

Sebastian made his way to his ensuite bathroom and turned on his hot shower. He tried to trace back what he did yesterday after leaving Alexandra and her friend. Just remembering Xavier makes Sebastian's blood boil out of anger.

He then remembered making his way to The Nutz where he slapped a fifty-dollar bill at the counter and tell Joe to "keep it coming". He also remembered Anna showing up soon after and asking him who pissed on his coffee. He recollected telling Anna about Xavier and how Alexandra excitedly welcome him with her embrace.

The next thing he remembered was him telling Anna that he would go and see Alexandra. He specifically remembered telling Anna that he needs to tell Alexandra how he feels because he doesn't want to make the same mistake that he did with her.

Sebastian mustered all of the expletive words he could remember as he simultaneously hit his head on the washroom wall. He never fucked up like that before.

A few minutes later, he walked into the kitchen and found Anna already dressed up in her own clothes. She was madly typing away at her keyboard. She looked up at him shortly and went back to work.
