The bright sunlight hit my eyes. I let out a groan, then the piercing sound of my phone wakes me completely up. I grab my pillow and drop it over my head, maybe the noise will go away, and the pounding in my head will stop. Then I feel it, a body next to me. “Oh no,” I mumble as I slowly lift the pillow up. In front of me is James with his eyes tightly shut and a pillow over his head too. Then I realize he’s not wearing a shirt, oh no. I’m wearing it. I turn on my back and pull the pillow on tightly over my face. Then there is pounding on my door as my phone starts ringing.
“Go answer,” James mumbles. I swallow and try to control my breathing. Suddenly the pillow is off my head and blinding bright light surrounds me. I feel like a vampire being exposed to the sun, and is withering away. I glare over to James, who’s laughing.
“Why don’t you go,” I say as I pull the pillow off his head and cover mine.
“Not my phone OR my house,” he says as he pulls the pillow back. I manage to get up and I slip into my robe. I grab my phone as I walk to the door.
“Hello!” I say mad into the phone and open the door.
“YOU’RE MY MAID OF HONOR WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU??!!” Ginger yells. In front of me stood Russell.
“What time is it?” I ask Russell.
“10:36,” Russell says. Oh no. I overslept my alarm, which was at 7:30. I was supposed to be at my house for breakfast with all the girls, and probably freakin EMILY.
“I am SO sorry,” I say into the phone and suddenly what happened last night comes flooding back. James and I aren’t together and he is living with his girlfriend, but yet he spent the night with me.
“Don’t mind me, I’ll just get my brother,” Russell says as he steps past me and goes straight into my bedroom. I watch as Russell’s face gets red. Then Russell looks over to me and slams the door shut.
“You’re my sister! I don’t care how terrible things have been for you, well of course I care about you, but this is MY day and I’d like it if you were a little more appreciative and if you were here for me!!” Ginger yells. And all the yelling is making my headache worst.
“Ginger, I promise I’ll be there as soon as I can!” I say as I run into my room forgetting that James and Russell are in there. They stop in mid argument.
“You better get your ass here!” Ginger yells.
“Of course dear now I have to go,” I say quickly.
“James has gone missing, you have nothing to do with that, right?” Ginger asks.
“Please Ginger,” I say then quickly end the call before she guesses exactly what we did. I look at the brothers. James is up with just black briefs and Russell is across from him with his arms crossed over his chest. “I just, uhm....I need to finish getting ready.” Actually I need to START getting ready but whatever. Russell glares over to James.
“You better get your head on right,” Russell says to James, then storms out. I hear the door slam and I wince and then I look over to James.
“Uhm...morning,” I say with a small wave of my fingers. James runs his hand through his hair and I’m taken back to last night when I did the same. Oh no, I need to get those images out!!
“I uh...I need to go,” James says.
“Of course. I’m running like...3 hours behind schedule,” I say as I run to my underwear box and begin to rummage through it.
“Listen, about last night,” James says. I stand up straight and look over to him. Damn his probably wishing I’d never showed up, he’s happy with what’s-her-face. I take a deep breath.
