WOW! X (COMPLETE)

WOW! X Chapter 15

I woke with the worse red wine hangover!

Chris said he had no sympathy for us what so ever and made a point of straining as he carried a whole box of empty bottles out back saying he was going to town and as punishment we could watch the kids.

“Do you know how much we drank last night?” Hayley said. Her voice like gravel.

“I don’t want to know,” I said cos just the thought brought goose bumps up on my arms. “I’m can still smell it coming out of my pores and I’ve had a shower. My mouth feels like a kids sand pit. I think I should go back to bed. I can’t function. My legs are all over the place, I’m like bambi on ice. My head is ready to go back to the hospital and the rest of me just wants to jump in that river.”

“Well why don’t we,” Hayley said.

“What?”

“Come on I’ll race ya, last one in’s a rotten egg!” Hayley said with a wicked gleam in her eye and ran out the back door to the river.

“Cheater!” I screamed and legged it after her.

I caught her up, we both held hands and launched ourselves in together, Screaming!

It was freezing… took my breath away and I was instantly sober!

We went back to the house shivering as the kids look at us with disappointment because they are always being told not to do that or you they would die and there we were throwing ourselves in.

I was still freezing after my shower and got back under my bed covers to warm myself and fell to sleep. I was such a lazy git!

Shane was in my dream. I wanted him there this time. I wasn’t running. I was looking for him. I found him and threw myself at him before he could disappear. He laughed and my body was remembering what it felt like to hold him and breathe in his scent. His lips upon mine, he called my name… Stacey! Oh please don’t let this dream end.

But it did and I woke to the best sight ever! Shane!

He smiled at me and I was wrapped in his arms just like in my dream, no wonder it was so vivid.

“What are you doing here?” I asked in shock.

“I heard you were missing me,” he said still smiling.

“Yes... Yes I did!” I squealed as I forced him onto his back and straddled him smothering his face in kisses. “I missed you sooo much, I missed you more than Christmas and I luurrvveee Christmas!”

He laughed as I continued to kiss him all over his face and pushed his T shirt up to kiss all over his belly and chest. He smelt fantastic!

“Did you miss me?” I asked as I returned to kiss his forehead, cheeks, tip of his nose…

“Nah not really” he said and laughed as I tickle attack him for being so insolate.

He pinned me to the bed. “So I take it you are feeling better, other than the hang over I hear you have,” he grinned.

“How did you know that? Someone’s got a big mouth around here. I was soul searching and yes, it involved a certain amount of alcohol but I am not hung over since I jumped in the river a while ago and sobered myself up as it was that cold. Remind to never do that again. How did you get here?” I asked.

“Chris rang me last night and said you had an epiphany before drinking yourself into a coma and passing out. He had just carried your drunk ass to bed and you were asking for me so he thought your need for space was over and your need for me was greater. He invited me to stay for a few days because he can’t be carrying both of you to bed every night. He needed a wing man so I agreed and he said to keep it a surprise. I hopped on a flight, he met me at the airport and I came in here to find you snoring!” he teased.
