01 | Aftermath

I'm convinced that anyone who says hangover ain't shit was drinking water. I am now suffering the horrible aftermath of my decision to drown myself in alcohol in a desperate attempt to forget about my horrible ex. That cheating, two-face scumbag. 

The Sunlight snuck through the tiny gaps left by the curtain and shone through, indicating it was quite early in the morning, my head was pulsing and I felt like I was gonna throw up any second now. I groan and try rubbing my temple to alleviate the headache, I try to twist my body in an attempt to get out of the comfortable bed but I can't move and I am confused. 

My eyes now fully adjusted to the light, opened and I checked my surroundings. I don't recognize this place. Which could only mean one thing...I sigh and try to get a look at my rather drunken hookup partner, his arm which looked quite tan and muscular was wrapped around my waist and my eyes followed his arm leading to a wide back. As much as I hate that I woke up with a hangover, I'm not complaining about the plus one. He looks good from the back. His face was hidden from me as he was lying on his stomach and I didn't even bother to try to see, cause I was feeling so lethargic from all the drinking. I don't know what happened but from my body's reaction, it must have been quite the night, 

And as much as it is so comfortable in this bed, I need to go. I silently try to lift the guy's arm from my waist and as I am doing that, I hear my name. I was confused cause I didn't see anyone calling, I ignored it but then I heard it again. 

"Amaris..."

huh??

I looked at the guy who was on the other side of the bed. It was surely him. how does he know my name...

"How do you know my name?" I ask. It was morning and we were both wasted last night, surely when I heard his voice, it sounded dry and hoarse. "water first." he said. 

"What?"

"Water" his one-word response 

"r-right." I looked at the bedside looking for a bottle of water and as I was looking, I saw something familiar but I didn't want to assume so I just ignored it, It looked like Kai's Keyring. We don't wanna get into Kai right now, another story for another time. I pass the water to him and he got up to receive it, this is where I'll see his face. As he got up, his well-muscular figure showed, obviously we were both ya know, naked from last night... so you could see his naked top half. My eyes follow from his torso to his face and when I say suffered from a shock, I've never felt. That shock made my heart jump and made it feel like blood was leaving my body rather than staying inside. 

My hand holding the water bottle froze and it was safe to say I was frozen as well, like head to toe frozen. To my right, sat the boy. no, the man I hated the most. like with a burning passion. This same man made me want to commit murder just from the way he ticked me off. all naked in his glory. I knew what was the cause of this, I knew but still I asked. 

"w-what are you doing here?" 

His eyebrow rose at my question, and his mouth smirked at my question, 'what do you think?" he said as his eyes traveled between us, and then I became fully aware, that I was in bed. Naked with the man I hated since I was 11 years old. I cried out then drop my head back into the pillow." this can't be happening right now."

"It did and It is," Kai said as he sipped his water, I just glared at him annoyed, and said snarkily, "Yes thank you for reminding me einstein" and this man had the nerve to just smile, and then laughed... laugh while I just sat there looking at him in shock. I had the urge to take the bottle and beat him but I held back. Anger is not good for my mind, for my body, and the only thing this man has ever down was make me feel anger. 

"you done?"

He stopped laughing but you could see his shoulder tremble as he held himself back. trying to get serious. He looks at me, those eyes that seem to have nothing behind them because they are so dark. I once fantasized about them, they looked so dark and dreamy when I was 11 years old. "All I can say is it did happen and there is no going back.", he said. 

"I know..," I admit knowingly. I knew but it shocked me greatly, Kai is good-looking, and I admit to that even though I hate his guts. That man was tall, like 6'2 tall plus his body from working out made it even better. So it's no surprise when my drunken self sees him, it's like she doesn't even know who is and just decides, yep. he's the one. She'll get him in bed no matter what. 

'we were both drunk and that just clouded our judgment and then this happened.", He says as he points between us. He sighed and did this habitual thing where he ran his hand through his hair continuously. While I just took in what he said and nodded continuously, I agreed. It was just a drunken mistake 

"Let's keep this between us, no one has to know," I say as I wrap the sheet tighter around my chest. He must have realized cause he puch the sheet further to me. I muttered thanks and slowly got up to go to the bathroom but as soon as I stood up, my legs trembled and I fell. He heard the sound and came rushing, fortunately not naked but a towel wrapped around his waist. I just couldn't look at him cause I can't believe that happened. 

Just what exactly happened after we came back? 

He looks at me amusingly as if he's holding back his laugh then he holds me up and sits me on the bed. "Stay here. I'll be right back" As he says that, my eyes follow his foot and I see that he went into the bathroom before he came back with a wet rag. I looked at him puzzled and he just grabbed ahold of my for and lifted it as he wiped it, the rag was warm and immediately,  it made me feel warm as well. He did the same thing to my other leg until I was able to feel some of my muscles loosen up. 

"There, that should do it.", He says as he finishes up. 

'Thank you" I muttered 

The end.
