Jurassic Love

Chapter 16

Hangovers really were a bitch.

"Rosie, come on. Please don't make me drag you." Owen said.

"You can for all I care." I groaned, burying my head in the pillow. Owen was up before me, and that was saying something as to how crap I felt.

"Well I did wonder why you drank so much on a weekday." Owen chuckled, grabbing my wrist and literally hoisting me out of bed.

"It was Claire!" I whined, shielding my eyes as Owen dragged me into the bathroom with the shower already running.

"Jump in and shower, you stink of wine. I'll bring you some clothes over." Owen said and I begrudgingly pulled off his shirt and my underwear and climbed in the shower, immediately feeling better.

When I got out, there was a pile of clothes waiting for me, a cropped shirt and shorts like normal and I rolled my eyes as I saw that he had included my most revealing bra and thong. He had scrawled a note saying 'for later xx' and I grinned.

I got into breakfast a little later than usual and I laughed despite of the blinding headache I had, when I saw Claire slumped over a black coffee wearing sunglasses. She looked overall dishevelled and she cried out when she saw me.

"How do you look so presentable when I matched you glass for glass last night?" she winced when I banged by plate of waffles and coffee down onto the table.

"Owen pushed me into the shower." I sighed and tucked in, you had to feed a hangover.

"I've had loads of missed calls from Barry, we're meeting tonight." she said casually, I guess she was feeling too rough to be excited.

"That's great Claire!" I said and Owen came and sat next to me.

"What's great?" he asked, already stuffing his face full of bacon.

"Claire's meeting Barry later." I told him.

"Well I did say I would work my magic." he said simply causing Claire to roll her eyes, "what?! It's all down to the Grady charm." Claire lowered her glasses and raised her eyebrows at him and I giggled and leant in and kissed him.

"Ew enough, as if I'm not already queasy." Claire groaned but thanked Owen anyway.

"Anyway ladies, when can I see a part two of what happened last night?" Owen asked.

"What do you mean a part two?" I asked, confused and looked at Claire. Simultaneously, our eyes widened with realisation. Then, we spluttered with laughter. It really was funny.

"Never." We both said as we struggled to control our giggles.

As if the day couldn't get any worse, Hoskins had decided to make a surprise day visit to see the raptors. Hoskins didn't know about mine and Owen's relationship, so we kept quite a bit of distance during the day so he didn't get suspicious.

I was observing the raptors at the cat walk when Hoskins approached me.

"So, how are your studies going?" Hoskins asked vaguely.

"They're going as projected by Masrani." I told him shortly. Everyone around here seemed to hate him, so I wasn't going to be friendly with him.

"Oh not you as well." Hoskins chuckled to himself. I turned to him and raised an eyebrow at him.

"What exactly is your problem? Surely you must have done something to make everyone hate you." I asked him. I quickly glanced towards Owen and Barry who were paying no attention to our conversation.
