you got me in love again

Hungover

I wake up before Leah, obviously. She has cuddled herself onto my arm during the night. I yawn and grab my phone from the nightstand. Carefully, so I don't wake her up. It is noon, we really slept long. I unlock my phone and see three messages.

The first one is from Katie. It is just the picture she took of Leah sleeping on my shoulder. I smile to myself; it is extremely cute. I sent her a smiling emoji back and set the photo as my new lockscreen.

The second message is from Lia, making sure we got home safely. I quickly answer and apologise for the late answer.

Then I message Laura and ask her if we want to meet in the café near the airport when I get home tomorrow. She answers immediately with a thumbs up.

The last message I got is from Beth, it is a YouTube link with a winking emoji. I grab my earphones and put them in before I open the link. It is the video Beth told us about yesterday. When I get to the part where Leah imitates Whitney, I can't help but laugh out loud. Leah seemed to have woken up by it because I feel her moving next to me.

"What are you laughing about?", she murmurs. Clearly hungover.

"Beth sent me the video.", I answer not too loud. "What video?", she questions. Her face is still covered by a pillow.

"The one where you imitate Whitney.", I chuckle and get a growl as an answer. "I find it super funny.", I just shrug my shoulders. Leah looks up but squints her eyes immediately. "Why is it so bright in here?", she mumbles. "Because it is noon, and you are hungover. No wonder, you were drunk as a skunk last night.", I giggle.

"Was I embarrassing?"

"Except the fact that you refused to kiss me, because you have a girlfriend.", I laugh.

"So, I was super embarrassing. Great."

"I thought it was kind of cute.", I say and lift her head up to peck her lips. "At least I know that you won't cheat on me when you are drunk.", I joke. I know she wouldn't.

"I would never. You, and especially Laura would kick my ass.", she laughs.

"Of course we would.", I laugh back and kiss her forehead. "But don't worry. I would never cheat on you either, Laura would kick my ass as well.", I say, and we both laugh.

"How come you aren't hungover?", she asks after a moment. "I didn't have half the amount you had. Do you want an aspirin?"

"Would be great."

"Okay.", I say and get up to get her a glass of water and a tablet. "There you go.", I say as I hand the glass and the tablet to her.

"Thanks.", she mouths and takes the aspirin. "That should help."

"Yeah, but you need breakfast. I will make us something to eat. Scrambled egg?", I say and walk towards the door again.

"Sounds lovely.", Leah smiles at me and falls back into the pillows. "I'll call you.", I say and enter the kitchen.

I take my time making breakfast leading to Leah coming out of the bedroom, still wrapped in a blanket a few minutes later.

"Could you hurry up?", she asks calmly and wraps her arms around my waist. "I feel like something to eat would help my nausea.", she says against my shoulder and places a soft kiss on it.

"Eggs are almost ready.", I answer and lower the heat. Leah takes the silverware to the table and sits down. I bring over the orange juice and eventually put the scrambled eggs on two plates and bring them over as well before I sit down as well. "Bon Appetit.", I say, and we start to eat.

We don't say much since we're both still tired and Leah's head hates her probably by now. We can sit in silence without making it awkward. That's what I cherish in people.

"I assume you don't want to leave the house today.", I state midway through the breakfast. "I'd prefer not to if that's okay."

"What else should we do? Watch a movie or series?", I suggest.

"Sounds good. Any suggestions?", she asks sipping on her juice.

"Maybe something we both know. I bet your head hurts more than mine.", I chuckle and hold my temple with two fingers. I only realised that I have headache as well.

"It definitely does.", Leah tries to laugh. "Have you seen Bend it like Beckham?", she asks, and I smile as I nod along. "Of course."

"Then it's settled.", Leah smiles and we continue eating.

We finish breakfast and clean up together before Leah prepares the sofa with pillows and blankets, while I make us some hot chocolate. It's pouring rain outside, that combined with both our, Leahs worse, headache, staying in was the right decision.

I fill two mugs with our drinks and bring them over to the coffee table. The I cuddle myself next to Leah who is already lying on the couch, ready to start the film.

"Ready?", she asks as I snuggle into her chest. "Ready.", I state, and she starts the film.

"You know, I was always disappointed that Jess and Jules didn't end up together.", Leah says during the film. "Right, I mean at least Jules is so gay.", I laugh.

"Absolutely. Finally, someone who gets me.", Leah laughs and continues watching. "Keira Knightley was probably my gay awakening.", she eventually says, and I smile to myself. Not to brag about it but I look a tiny bit similar to Keira Knightley.

"So, you have a type.", I say and can't stop smiling. "Yeah, you could say so.", Leah beams and leans down to place a soft kiss on my lips. "You are much hotter, though.", she adds, and I giggle.
