Spencer's POV
I blink my eyes open the harsh sun light was blinding and my head was pounding. I let out a loud groan in both annoyance and pain. I bury my head in the pillow and breathe in the familiar scent. Wait, why was it familiar? I'm staying at a hotel. I hear soft laughing coming from the corner of the room and I recognise it instantly. I reluctantly open my eyes again squinting where I heard the sound coming from. Sure enough, there was Aria sitting in a chair wrapped in a blanket. I sit up regretting it right away feeling myself get dizzy. I had a sour taste in my mouth. "Ugh, did I throw up?" I ask massaging my temples.
"Twice actually, luckily I was there or I think you wouldn't have made it to the bathroom." She was smiling clearly very amused by my drunkeness and the pain I felt from so much alcohol. Why did I let Hanna get me so drunk?
"Thanks." I mutter. Aria stands up and disappears into the bathroom momentarily before returning with a glass of water and two aspirins.
"Take these, it'll help with the headache." She drops the pills into my palm and places the water on the nightstand.
"Who said I had a headache?" I ask stubbornly. My mouth felt dry and I really did have a huge headache that was making it hard for me to think.
"Spencer, come on, I know you." She gives me a condescending look. "Plus you're wincing every time I talk." I swallow the pills and drink the whole glass of water. I already felt much better.
"Maybe you should stop talking so loud." I reply sarcastically. That's when I notice the pile of clothes on the floor or, more accurately, a pile of my clothes on the floor. I look down at myself to see I'm wearing one of my old t-shirts that I had given to Aria years ago when we were together and my underwear - that was it. Aria must notice my confusion because she answers my unspoken question. "I gave you the t-shirt to wear so you'd be more comfortable and then you stripped down in front of me." She grins at me and I drop my face in my hands. That's so embarrassing.
"Oh God, did I do anything else?" I ask my cheeks burning. Aria shifts a little like she wanted to tell me something but she just shakes her head.
"Do you remember asking me out to coffee?" She asks.
"No." I pause for a moment trying to remember the last thing that happened. "The last thing I remember was Hanna talking about old times." I confess. Things got a little blurry after that.
"That was about two clubs back." Aria tells me. She gathers up my discarded clothes and lays them at the bottom of the bed. "You don't remember anything else?"
"Not really, except, more drinking." I look at her trying to figure out what was up with her, why was she pushing me so hard to remember? She shakes her head dismissively.
"Well, I'm going to take you up on that offer for coffee. You can take a shower and brush your teeth if you want." She says walking towards the bedroom door. "I'll leave you alone." She slips out the door and closes it. So now we were going out for coffee? I was so confused. When did we get back to being friends? Why was I so willing to go was the more important question. I stand up from the bed stumbling a few steps before recovering myself. I enter the bathroom and notice a new toothbrush in the box out on the counter - she must have put it out for me before. I take off my t-shirt and underwear and step into the shower. I tried to ignore my excitement at going out with Aria, but I couldn't.
When I was dressed I heard a light rap on the door. "Come in." I answer and Aria pops her head in.
"You ready?" She asks. She looked like she had changed and I felt underdressed and gross now because I was wearing the clothes I wore yesterday.
"Sure." I reply following her out the door. On the way out we run into Mr Montgomery. He was holding a cup of coffee and smiling like he usually was.
"Spencer, always a pleasure." He says giving me a weird look. Did I say something to him last night?
"Mr Montgomery, hey, sorry about last night and me-" I begin.
"Don't worry about it Spencer and call me Byron, I think it's about time you did." He lifts his cup at me before slipping past into the living room. I look at Aria and she shrugs in response.
"Maybe he put something in his coffee." Aria says playfully.
"Can I have whatever he put in it?" I joke, but in all seriousness, I really need a pick me up. I hadn't had any coffee yet or food so I was both under caffeinated and my blood sugar levels were dangerously low which makes me very cranky.
"Don't worry, it won't take long." Aria reassures me and I follow her to her car.
