Beyond the Lesson (TXS)

Confusion

I open my eyes from my face laying on the pillow and immediately close them feeling the terrible headache from the sun going directly in my eyes. I groan hiding my face. After 5 minutes of me finding myself back asleep I sit up and rub my eyes. I slowly open my eyes and they freeze when I don't recognize the room as my own or Mairas, whose house I'm supposed to be at. "Shit Tyson!" I look for my pants only to realize I still have my costume on. What the hell? I shake the confusion and pull out my phone and go to Tyson messages only to see I already texted him saying we left the party and made it to Mairas. But I'm not at Mairas and I don't remember sending that. Fuck I drank way too much. I try to find something familiar about this room but nothing is clicking and is only freaking me out.

The sound of the door opening makes me look at it and then I tilt my head in confusion at the sight. "Oh you are up. I thought I heard noise and I'm not taking about your snoring." She says with a chuckle and walks toward me with a cup of something in her hands.

"Damn how much did I drink last night, to be dreaming of you?" I ask and she smiles.

"You're not dreaming Talia, it's me." She says and hands me the cup of green muck. "Bevilo." She says and I look back it and back at her as she folds her arms waiting. I sigh and put the cup to my mouth and take a sip.

"Hm." I say and continue drinking it.

"See not bad." I finish it and hand it back it to her. "Ottimo lavoro, tesoro." She says and I blush at her calling me baby especially in Italian.

"Verena why am I here? I didn't call you did I because I swear I was drunk and don't even remember doing it." I say quickly and she chuckles.

"Uh no you didn't call me. Maira did." I tilt my head confused looking at her as she continues to stand. "You need to shower and get out of these clothes." She says snapping my suspenders.

I smirk. "You don't think I look sexy?"

She raises a brow. "Oh I do but I need to control myself," she sighs. "Besides we need to talk." She says and I sigh nodding.

"I don't like our talks."

"You used to love our conversations."

"Yeah when they ended with me-" She covers my mouth to stop me from finishing.

"I got it. Just get in the shower and I have fresh clothes in there already for you to change into." I nod and she leaves the room still leaving me confused. Especially more since she said Maira called her. I get in the white marble shower and try to let memories of last night find me but the only thing I can remember is getting there and then passing out. I get out the shower and put on the cream white long sleeve fleece shirt and black jeans.

I open the door that Verena came through realizing I'm not in her house but a penthouse apartment? "Verena?" I call out and she appears around the corner coming from what I assume is the kitchen.

"Hey. They fit good on you I'm glad." She says and I nod and follow her back to where she was. "How are you feeling?" She asks as she cooks what smells like bacon.

I shrug. "Good I guess. Verena where are we?"

"In an apartment." I give her a bored look. She sighs. "Specifically Victorias apartment."

My brow's furrow. "Why are we at her apartment and not your house? Wait, why am I even with you I'm supposed to be with Maira?"

She nods. "Yes well you're here and not Mairas because you completely blacked out after someone drugged you at the party last night and she couldn't take you home since she was drunk herself."
