I am awoken the next morning by the sun streaming through the blinds. Stupid sun.

My cheek is resting on a hard pillow smelling of the beach and warmth. I go to move my body when I realise that I can't. It is entrapped by a log type thing resting over my torso. Wait what the turd.

I open my eyes only to stare right in the face of Kota Rivers. Holy fracker-doodle. I see that our bodies are tangled together. My hand lies on his naked chest and my head rests on his muscular arm with his other arm wrapped around me.

Looking down I see Kota's defining six pack, His stomach is tanned and toned. What the ever living hell!!

I go to move when Kota's arm around me tightens pulling me closer. I am completely stuck in his hold. I look up to see that thankfully he is still fast asleep, with his chest slowly rising and falling. His eyes are closed and I get to see just how long his black eyelashes are. I can also see the light faux freckles dotted around his face and his muscular jaw. I can see everything and It looks like he got hotter overnight. Finn, now is not the time for you to go all stalker. You need to escape before Kota wakes up.

I slowly move Kota's warm arm off of me and try to untangle my legs from his when suddenly he stirs.

"Finn?" I hear. Screaming I jump back and fall rather harshly on the floor.

"Finn, What the hell?" Kota asks from atop the bed.

"Ow, that hurt a lot." I grumble, lying upside down in a mess.

"Yeah I assume so, it usually does when you fall off the bed." Says Kota sarcastically standing up above me.

"Yeah well thanks idiot. If you didn't entrap me with your log limbs then this wouldn't have happened." I say standing up way too quickly causing me to fall backwards.

"Woah, easy tiger." Says Kota catching me easily and lowering me to sit on the bed.

"Why does it feel like a horse kicked my head." I grumble closing my eyes and rubbing my temples. "And Why are you not wearing a shirt." Not that I mind or anything. I continue, keeping my eye level low, avoiding his naked chest.

"The horse stomping would be from the amount of alcohol you ingested last night, and I don't wear shirts when I sleep." He says grabbing one and pulling it over his head. Boo.

"Ugh whatever, can we please just leave." I grumble standing up slowly and walking into the door. God I thought I was clumsy when I was sober.

"Haha common Greenie." Says Kota grabbing my arm and steering me out the room.

Walking through the doorway both me and Kota head downstairs only for me to bump into someone in the hallway.

"Peter! Oh my gosh! What the hell happened to you?" I ask him.

Peter was on Ben's football team and he looked like someone beat him up. His lip was busted, he had a black eye and a cut on his cheek. I didn't see him at all last night so I wonder what happened. Kota's grip on my arm tightens as he pulls me closer to him.

"Finn, umm-uh Hi." Peter says with his eyes widened, his gaze darts from Kota back to me and then back to Kota. "I uh-I gotta go." He says darting past me and running up the stairs as fast as he can.

"What's his deal?" I ask Kota who looks after Peter with a hardened gaze.

"Common Finn." Says Kota leading me down the stairs and through the rest of the house. Man boys are weird, no wonder why I have avoided them all this time. Yeah sure Finn, that's why.

The entire house is trashed with cups and beer bottles littered everywhere. There are a few people still here, sleeping on the couch and some even on the floor. Streamers are everywhere and it looks like a party shop exploded in here.

Walking through the front door I am suddenly smacked in the face from the suns light.

"Darnit." I say covering my eyes. Man that sun is fricken bright. Go away sun, It's not like we need you or anything.

"Do you need a lift?" Kota asks me walking over to his motorbike parked on the driveway.

"Oh I can just call Ben to pick me up. I don't want to inconvenie-"

"Finn, we are going the same way just get on the bike." He interrupts Passing me a helmet.

I smile at him and hop on the back of the bike wrapping my arms around his torso. "Wait." I say. "Didn't you drink last night?"

"No... after you walked in and chugged down 4 beers like your life depended on it, I thought I should keep an eye on you instead." Says Kota turning his head slightly to look at me. "Seriously Finn, you shouldn't have drunk so much. What do you remember from last night?" He asks

"Umm, I remember seeing you and then drinking a lot." I think carefully about last nights events trying my hardest to piece them together. "I remember dancing and I think I fell over." Well that would explain my bruised knees. "After that, umm not much. Just going up to bed and ummm you-you took me there? I don't remember anything else." I say all while Kota is listening carefully to what I have to say.

"So you don't remember anything else?" Kota asks

"No" I think. "Nothing else. Why, should I?" I ask Kota.

"No you shouldn't" Says Kota as he starts the engine and speeds off.

Man this is exactly what I need. The wind in my face is a refreshing wakeup call and perfect for a hangover. Plus having my arms around Kota isn't so bad either. I think about last nights events in my head, I really don't remember much at all. All I remember is being with Kota, he took care of me I think. He has to be the most confusing person I have ever met. The rest of the drive is spent with me snuggling my cheek into his back and smelling the scent of beach and leather.
