A strong headache makes me wake up suddenly. I open my eyes slowly, the curtains are closed and there is hardly any light coming in. I reach for the cell phone on my bedside table but stumble over a piece of paper.

"Good morning, beautiful. I'm Pedro, in case you don't remember, I was listening to you all night what you were telling me, and it was amazing by the way, I've had an incredible time.

I had to leave, I have work to do, I'll write you in a while, I can't get you out of my head....

And also, I asked the hotel for an Aspirin, I imagine you have the same headache as me. I'll leave everything on your bedside table.

Kiss."

Shit, Pedro...

I leave the paper, take the pill with the glass of water that was next to me and pick up my cell phone. Missed calls and messages from my friends, but still nothing from him.

''Ale finally, where are you girl''. Sophie answers on the other end of the line'.

''At the hotel, in my room. I slept here... ''.

''And the guy from the party? We saw you with a man last night ''.

I sit up slowly. ''He left, I mean, he slept with me but he left early for work, we were talking all night''.

I see the empty wine bottle under the TV. ''Talking? You take a man to bed and start talking?''.

''Yes''. I snort. ''Sophie, my head hurts a lot, I don't know how you are alive, but I need to rest for a while''.

''I'm at Lucas', I had to take him to the hotel as I could, because I wasn't very well either''. I lie down on the bed again. ''He's still asleep, I'll let you know when he wakes up''.

''Check on him from time to time, make sure he hasn't gone into an alcoholic coma''. We both laugh. ''We'll talk later, Soph''.

I hang up and instantly it vibrates a couple of times, a message from an unknown number.

UNKNOWN

"Hi, this is Pedro."

"I'm on a little break and wanted to know how you were doing."

"Because my head is exploding."

"I'm not drinking hotel wine again."

For some reason, my heart rate increases as I read the messages, as if I'm incredibly excited that he wrote to me.

Lovely Italian girl

"I think it's the fact that it's London wine, I'll give you a taste of the good wine of Italy".

"Are you inviting me to visit you?"

"Maybe..."

"When are you leaving?"

"I want to see you again."
