naomi felt like complete shit. she did not expect to drink that much. but then again, her and nessa were downing shots like there was no tomorrow. she sat up and took in her surroundings. she was definitely not in her bedroom, yet alone her own home.
"fuck," she mumbled.
"bruh my head hella hurts." nessa groaned. "where are we?"
the girls heard a chuckle coming from the kitchen and turned their heads. a shirtless kalin was standing in front of the counter with his protein shake in his hand. he looked over at naomi with a cocky smirk as he noticed her eyeing his abs.
"you girls are crazy." he laughed to himself, shaking his head.
"what happened last night?" naomi asked as she stood up. "where's eva and bari?"
"they're in his room sleeping." he answered. "after the club we decided to come back here and kick it. our friends ended up leaving and you guys decided to crash here instead of leaving eva."
"why is it hella cold in here?" naomi shivered.
"seriously though," nessa curled up into a ball.
it didn't help that she was pretty much wearing nothing and their blankets somehow ended up on the floor.
kalin laughed again at the girls. they were helpless when they were hungover.
"do you guys want something, um, less provocative?" he asked.
"i don't think i'll fit into your clothes, pretty boy. you're too damn tall." vanessa rolled her eyes. "i'll ask bari when he wakes up. he's short."
"suit yourself," kalin raised his hands in the air, chuckling at nessa's jab to bari's height even though she just met him. "what about you?"
"oh yes please. i'm fucking freezing." naomi said getting up and following him to his room.
"yeah b, your nipples are hard as fuck. you're finna cut some slits in that dress." nessa joked.
kalin stifled his laughter as he turned the light switch on in his room. he went through his dresser and grabbed a pair of sweats and old tee for her.
"thank you." naomi smiled at him.
"my pleasure," kalin said softly, smiling at him.
naomi looked up at kalin and she could see lust in his eyes. she wanted to jump on him but she knew it was only because she was still a little drunk.
"just don't cut any slits in my shirt either," he whispered, licking his lips before leaving the room for her to change.
naomi found her lips curving into a smile and let out a scoff as she realized her best friend's boyfriend's homie was looking down her dress. she changed out of the dress and sported kalin's clothes out to the living room, where bari and eva soon joined them.
"can we grab food?" eva whined as she snuggled up close to nessa. "i need hangover food."
"there's this bomb pho spot not too far from here," nessa suggested as she tied her hair up in a pony tail.
"or we can grab in n out." kalin shrugged.
"i'm down for whatever. i just need food. my head hurts." eva whined once more.
the five voted and it was four to one. bari and the girls preferred something brothy that didn't require too much chewing. after the girls changed into some of bari's clothes and k finally threw a shirt on, they headed to the restaurant a couple miles down.
"mmm, this was a good call." nessa smiled as she took a sip of the broth.
"it's aight," kalin rolled his eyes. "a burger would get you more full."
"we can still get your ass some in n out after." nessa retorted.
"you two are like kids," bari chuckled. "hella annoying. sorry vanessa."
"it's okay," nessa shrugged. "i'm aware i can be annoying. ain't nothing new."
eva and naomi stifled their laughter. nessa was hella annoying and always had something smart to say, but they just let it slide because the shit that came out her mouth was comical. and if either one of them told her she was annoying, she'd be petty and be even more annoying on purpose.
"i'm sorry you two gotta put up with her." kalin chuckled as he looked at naomi.
"i don't even know you and i don't like you." vanessa rolled her eyes.
"and does it look like i care what you think?" kalin asked, his eyes still on naomi.
naomi felt her cheeks get hot and looked down at her soup, stirring it with her chopstick. now that she was sober, okay more sober than she was half an hour ago, she was certain kalin was subtly flirting with her.
"my eyes are up here, playboy." naomi said looking up and noticing he was still eyeing her, causing everyone to laugh.
"i'm just admiring how well my shirt looks on you," he said with a cocky smirk. "and how it'd look even better off."
"okay!" eva exclaimed. "that escalated quickly."
"it's too early for this," bari chuckled.
kalin sent a wink in naomi's direction as he stuffed his face with some noodles.
"you better get your boyfriend's friend, eva." naomi mumbled.
nai just wanted everyone to hurry up and finish their food. the looks kalin was giving her made her feel uncomfortable.
