My face was plunged head first into the couch as I woke up. The sound of vaccums roared loudly, I looked around with confusion all on my face. Pressure pounded strong all through my head, I sat up and looked across from me. Lo and Braidyn were sleep on the other two couches, I rubbed my face trying to make out where I was. Through blurry vision, I turned around to see a glass window that over looked a big open space. Several people with red shirts on were vaccuming, while others were wipeing down tables and chairs.

"Goodmorning." I jumped as I turned around to a feminine figure in a white shirt and jeans heading towards me. Eyes still blurry, I closed one eye and stared at the person threw the open one. "Calm down, its just me." Placing a glass of water on the coffee table, they lifted up my legs and sat next to me.

"Me who?" I said groggly. I rubbed my forehead and sat back on the couch. They placed my legs on their lap in one gentle motion. I then began to rub my eyes, to adjust my sight. I blinked a few times and finally they were clear. I looked back at the stranger who was grabbing the glass from the table. Surprisingly, his right hand was closed as if caring something small in it.

"Here,"  He said as he turned to me. "I brought you some Tylenol." He rose his eyes to mine and stared for what felt like a life time.

"I have met you before, havn't I?" I asked as I took the glass and medicine.

He smiled warmly. "Yes honey, you don't remember?" I rose one eyebrow and stared at him with a curious expression. He laughed and gently rested his arms on my legs. "Do you mind?" He asked quickly.

I shook my head and threw the the two pills in my mouth. I quickly took a sip of water and swallowed the medicine. "This is so embarrassing," I said as I adjusted myself. "I bet I look a mess."

He looked over at me, eyes strong and aware. "Why should you be embarrassed? Honey aint nobody in here trying to get with you. And, you are not my cup of tea." He said laughing to himself. I smiled at his humor, and suddenly it was all coming back to me now.

"You were working the door last night huh?" I asked as my memory began to give me more clear answers. He shook his head dramaticly and stared at my legs. "Whats your name?" I asked softly.

"Hun, you don't remember a thing do you? Lord jesus, I am Troy." His hand was positioned at his chest as he stared at me; I nodded slowly. Gently, he lifted my legs off his lap and pushed up from the couch. He sat them back down and began to walk towards the bar. I stared as I watched him switch his hips back and forth. Pulling my dress down before leaving the couch, I stood up slowly, trying to catch my balance. Adjusting my posture I began to slowly walk around the lounge area.

"What?" He asked curiously.

"There were so many people when we first came in here last night, that I couldn't really take in the beauty of the place."

He smiled at my comment and looked around as well. The sound of people talking loudly began to echo out to us. I looked at Troy, who was rolling his eyes and shaking his head. "Let us pray, lord, let us pray. " He said under his breath.

"Are they up?" A female voice called out loudly as she made her way into the lounge.

"Mardean, chill out." A voice from a tall masculine male called out as he tried to stop the females quick pace.
