"Ugh, what time is it?" I mumble.

A voice next to me answers "11 am"

"Uh, hi. Why am I in your bed?" I ask, feeling confused. And hungover.

"You decided to pay me a late night visit after the meal you went to, armed with incredibly high heeled shoes and a bottle of wine" Tony tells me, laughing shyly.

"Uh oh. My bad" I say.

"Do you need anything?" he asks.

"Coffee" I mumble.

"Your wish is my command" he says, kissing me on the forehead and wandering off downstairs.

I realise I woke up because I need the toilet so I head in that direction. I run straight into Mike with a big smirk on his face.

"Don't even go there" I say, knowing what he's thinking.

"Would I think that?" he says.

"Yes" I laugh. "I need the loo and I'll smack you if you don't move."

I wander downstairs, still barefoot and wearing my dress from last night. Vic and Jaime are sitting in the kitchen doing stuff on laptops and phones. They both look at me and laugh.

"Do I look that bad?" I laugh.

"Surprisingly, no" says Vic.

I turn to the mirror in the lounge and see my hair has gone a bit wild but looks like it's meant to be. My make up has vanished and I wonder if Tony washed my face.

"What was I doing last night?" I groan. Tony brings me a mug of coffee, a glass of water and some painkillers. He's my guardian angel right now. "Do you want anything to eat?" he asks.

"Best not" I say, wincing.

"They're good pills, they'll soon kick in" he says, hugging me.

I smile up at him. "Thank you. For looking after me and stuff."

"No problem" he smiles. He has an amazing smile. It lights up his whole face. It makes his eyes twinkle too.

No wonder the guys wondered what we had been up to the other night!

"So, do you want do something today?" he asks.

"Yeah, but I'll need to go home and shower and change first" I say.

"I'll take you when you're ready" he says, smiling at me.

I smile back at him and he wraps his arms around my waist as I sit at the counter sipping my coffee. He rests his chin on my shoulder and it feels so natural and right.
