Olivia & Jameson: Morning after

Olivia's Pov

I let out a groan as a bright light shines in my eyes.

I stuff my face into a soft plush pillow. And groan as a headache starts to form.

"Oh my god. Close the fucking curtains" a person groans

I slowly lift my head up and wince at the light in the room seems to brighten. It takes me a minute to realize I'm on my living room floor, pillows surrounding me. I look over to my right and see Estrella on my couch with a pillow over my face and blanket hazardly thrown over her body.

"Close the blinds. Please" she moans out

I grunt and slowly get, my joints cracking it in the process. I slowly walk over to my windows and close the curtains. Both of us let out a sigh of relief when the room becomes dim again. All of a sudden, a loud sound booms and we both groan. I hurry around the living room and try to find my phone to shut off my alarm.

"Shut it off. Shut it off" Estrella whines

I scramble around the floor till I feel a hard object. I find my phone and shut off the alarm, noticing it's eight thirty in the morning. We both sigh and lay back down on the floor.

"I'm never drinking with you again" Estrella groans

"What are you talking about? You were so persistent on taking those shots" I grunt

"No I wasn't" she whines

"Yes you were"

"Shut up"

We both stay silent and I try to recall the night before. I lift up my phone and open my messages when a text comes in.

Owen: Good Morning sleepy head

Me: Were you the one to put the alarm on my phone?

Owen: Yup!

Me: Did you also open the curtains to have the sun blast its light inside?

Owen: Yup!

Me: How did you get the passcode to my phone in the first place?

Owen: I asked you when I set you and Estrella down. You happily gave it to me

Me: I hate you

Owen: We both know you don't

Me: We both know I do

Owen: Whatever you say

Me: This is why I'm moms favorite

Owen: Shut up! No your not. I am

Me: That's not what she told me

Owen: Well I talked her last night and she told me "Owen you are the best son in the world. Why can't your sister be like you? She's always had a bad attitude"

Me: Shut up. Mom would never say that

Owen: Well she told me

Me: Yeah well she told me she still had to make your dentist appointment because you were too nervous to make it yourself

Owen: No she didn't! That was supposed to be between her and I

Me: I guess we know who's her favorite

I toss my phone on the floor as Owen floods my phone with messages. I grab a pillow and toss it to Estrella.

"Ow!" she yells
