Jenny's P.O.V

I feel the headache before I even wake up. How did I even get home? I really need to stop drinking that tequila with Emily because every time I do then I wake up with black holes in my memory.

I open my eyes and the daylight is so sharp that I can't see anything, so I shut my eyes again because it hurts my eyes. Why didn't I role down my curtains before going to bed last night? I turn on my side and I groan from the pain. Why do I still have my clothes on? I open my eyes again and I don't recognize anything. I know that my vision is a little blurry but I know that I'm definitely not home. Where am I?

I can feel myself panicking because I can't remember anything from when I got back inside after talking with Marshall and sat down to drink more tequila with Emily. Marshall always makes sure that I get home safe, so why the hell am I in some strangers house?! He wouldn't just leave me, would he?

I try to look around the room for my phone but I can't find it. I can tell that whoever's house this is then the person is wealthy.

Suddenly the door opens and to my relieve, Marshall appears in the doorway. Am I at his house?

"Morning sleepyhead." He says. "Are you okay?"

"Omg." I burst out relieved. "I'm so relieved."

"Uh okay?" He says confused.

"I thought I was in some strangers house." I say and sit down on the bed. Now I suddenly remember it. I remember me and Marshall in that room, I remember what I did to him and why we had to go home.

"So, you don't remember how you got here?" He frowns.

"I slowly begin to remember things from last night." I admit.

"You fell asleep in the car." He says. That explains why I can't remember anything from the ride home.

"I really need to stop getting drunk with Emily." I sigh.

"Are you feeling sick?" He asks.

"I have an extremely bad headache." I say.

"How much do you remember from last night?" He asks. I know what he's fishing for.

"I remember what I did in that room with you, if that's what you're wondering." I say.

"I'm so fucking sorry Jen, I didn't.."

"Why are you apologizing?" I cut him off. It makes no sense that he's the one apologizing when I was the one who crossed the line.

"I must have crossed you lines man, I mean.." he clearly has some difficulties finishing his sentence because he doesn't say more.

"I kept going Marshall." I say softly. "I kept rubbing myself against you even when you told me to stop."

"It has never happened to me." He says. For some reason I find that flattering.

"Well one time had to be the first." I giggle and Marshall walks over to the bed, he lays down and pulls me down to cuddle with him. He lays behind me and I use his arm for a pillow and he holds me around the waist.

"A lot of things are the first time with you." He says.

"Really? Like what?" I ask curious.

"I never bring women to my house." He admits. I figured that much since I never have been invited to his house or anything.

"Then I must be special." I tease him.

"You are." He says and there's a moment of silence. "It's like I have a fucking weakness for you man. I haven't had a weakness for a woman in many years."
