Stuck in a room with a hot guy!

Part 8

I woke up with the biggest headache ever. I was lying ontop of something hard and warm. I looked down and saw Rex, still sleeping with his arms behind his head. Oh god. We're still at the party. I looked around blinking furiously. It must have been in the early hours of dawn because it wasn't light but the sky was beginning to turn a watery-blue. There were lights on in the house but no activity what so ever. Sleeping bodies lay strewn across the porch and some guy who had the word "screwed" written in large black letters on his bare chest lay face down in the grass a few metres away. I pulled myself off of Rex, my head spinning. Urgh, stupid hangover. My first job was to find Jasmine and that was going to be a chore. I bent over and pecked Rex on the cheek. He smiled and blinked.

"Rex, I'll come fetch you in a sec, just gotta find Jassy." He nodded and groaned.

I walked into the house, people were everywhere. Some on tables, chairs and scattered across the floor was a large number. I searched their faces for Jasmine. None in here. I walked into the kitchen to find Jasmine lying in the sink on top of some random guy. Sucks for her boyfriend. I walked over to her and poked her in the cheek.

"Jas, we're going." I whispered. She stirred and opened her eyes. They were bloodshot and streaming.

"Best party ever." She replied hoarsley. I helped her getting out of the sink and walked back outside. I walked over to the bramble where I had last seen Rex. He was sitting with his head in his hands.

"Goddam worst hangover, ever." I uttered an exhauhsted laugh. The three of us left quietly Rex quickly texted Noah thanking him and we decided it would be best to come over to my house and whip up some pancakes, Jasmine nodded heartily and Rex just murmered. Last night was awesome.

We arrived at my house as the sun was beginning to peak behind the mountains. I unlocked the door and headed for the kitchen. Rex slumped on the couch and Jasmine raced to the bathroom to throw up. I began making the mixture through the sounds of Jasmine's heaving. I glanced over to the couch. I couldn't see Rex's tuft of black hair.

"Over here." He put his arms around my waist and his chin on my shoulder. Even through my blistering headache my pulse quickened.

"And I suppose suducing your girlfriends will grant you access to the shower?"

"Not girlfriends. Lovers," He kissed me on the cheek,"and now that you mention it a shower would be mighty nice."

"Go, get washed you smell awful." I turned and kissed him, our tongues met. Laughing I pushed him away. He grinned as he strolled off. Just as Jasmine appeared at the door.

"You guys should really get a room." She looked pale and dark bags had formed under her eyes.

"Jas, are you okay?" I set down the bowl of mix and grabbed her into a hug.

"I'm fine." She sniffed.

"No you aren't. Go and lie down on the couch, theres a blanket there." She smiled wryly and walked away. I sighed. She looked tired.

I started frying the pancakes, and boy, I so needed a shower. I made a few and put them on a plate for jasmine. She'd need them when she felt better. I heard footsteps on the stairs and down came Rex, dressed in only a towel tied around his waist. He smirked when he saw me look at him.

"Here," I said giving him a pile of pancakes," The perfect hangover food."

He took them from my hand and brought me into his arms.

"You know, by now I think you've realized that I like you. Allot." I wanted to scream and jump, yes Rex, I like you too. Allot," and hey, I wanna be your boyfriend. If you'll let me." He smiled. I grinned back.

"Maybe you haven't noticed but I accepted that. Quite a while ago. " He leant over and gave me a small fluttering kiss.

"Oh, I noticed." Then he pushed me towards the door grabbing the spatula,"You have a shower, you might need it." He winked.

And yes, he was very correct. I did need it.
