April Fools Prank Gone Wrong

Chapter 9 : First day of work

Chapter 9

The next morning...

Riker POV

"Riker, wake up."

I groaned and rolled over.

"Riker, come on. Wake up."

"Ugh, not so loud..."

I opened my eyes a little, and was blinded by the window. I covered my eyes with my hands.

"Too bright!" I said, pulling the covers over my head.

Rydel shut the curtains.

"Riker, you need to get up."

"No... My head..."

"Riker, it's noon. And you need to be up and at your job by 3:30."

"My job?"

"You got a job as a waiter. You work here at the hotel."

"What? How?"

"I honestly have no clue."

"Wait... What?"

"Riker, last night, you came back around midnight, and you showed me these papers. You're allowed to live in this room. It's in exchange for your work as a waiter."

"I'm a waiter?"

"Yeah..."

"Wait... What happened?"

"Rik, you came back completely drunk last night."

"Ugh... Well that would explain why I feel like I'm dying... I need to go to the bathroom," I said, sitting up.

I leaned forward, and pressed my hands into my face, trying to make the pounding in my head disappear.

"Come on, Rik. I'll help you up."

Rydel took my arm, and helped me stand.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Not so fast! Everything's spinning like a merry go round!"

"Take small steps."

I stumbled all the way to the bathroom.

Rydel POV

Riker shut the bathroom door, and then a heard a crash.

"Rik? You ok?"

"Yeah..."

"Yeah, I would recommend maybe sitting down."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... I just need to get there first..."

"What was that crash?"

"I knocked the shower curtain down... And I can't get it back up. Everything's moving."

"Riker, don't worry about the shower curtain. Just go to the bathroom. I'll get you some aspirin."

I had a bottle of aspirin in my purse, so I got some out for Riker. And I got him a cold bottle of water.

He came out of the bathroom, tripped over his own feet, and went flying to the ground.

"Ow... That really hurt!"

I went over, and helped him sit up.

"Alright. Just stay there," I said, getting his medicine.

I handed him the pills and the water, and he took them.

"Will you help me get in bed?"

"Yeah."

I helped him stand up again, and I managed to get him back in bed without any incidents.
