I wake up and roll over. "Shit," I mumble. I have a slight headache. I open my eyes and the covers are over my head, keeping it nice and dark. I'm about to go back to sleep when it hits me that I don't recognize the bed I'm sleeping in. I tear the covers off my head and sit up. "Motherfucker," I say when the sun hits my eyes. "Shit," I mumble. Colton looks up, off his phone.
"How do you feel?" he asks me. I glare at him.
"Fine, just shut the fucking curtains or something," I snap. "What time is it?" I ask him.
"It's about two thirty," he says.
"Shit," I mutter. He smiles at me. "Why are you smiling like a creepy jackass?"
"Because most of the girls that wake up in my bed, don't look nearly as good as you do," Colton says. I glare at him.
"Hahaha," I say. "Toss me my backpack will you." Colton tosses it to me. I dig around and pull out a mirror. My hair's a big mess and I have dark circles under my eyes.
"You want some ibuprofen?" Colton asks. I nod. He gets up and leaves. I push the covers aside and stand up. Shit, what the fuck happened last night?
Jesus. I don't remember very much. I remember drinking tequila and then Colton telling me how sexy I smell and them him spelling beer on my clothes. And that's it. Shit.
Colton comes back with ibuprofen and a glass of water. I take it from him and place the pills in my mouth and swallow them with the water. I chug the water and Colton laughs. "What?" I ask.
"You chugged that water like how you chugged that tequila last night," he says with a small chuckle. I groan and set down the glass.
"So, what happened last night? I don't really remember much," I say.
"After I spilled beer on you, you changed into my clothes and then you passed out on my bed," he tells me.
"Did I say or do anything?" I ask him. I tend to get a little bit flirty when I'm drunk. I really hope I didn't do or say anything.
"No, you just fell asleep," he says. I sigh with relief.
"I'm gonna use your bathroom," I say. He nods. I get up and grab my backpack. I walk slowly to the bathroom. I lock the door, once I'm inside. I pee and then wash my hand. My hair's a big mess. I grab my brush and then my makeup kit.
I brush my hair and comb through my bangs with my fingers. I wash my face with a makeup remover wipe and then apply a shitload of concealer. I also use a lot of deodorant.
My phone buzzes and I look down. It's from one of the interns, Roberts. Your dad's wondering where you are.
I text him back, At a girlfriend's house. Shouldn't you have something better to do?
Not really. Trying to get on your dad's good side. You're not at a girlfriend's house, are you?
No, but...shhh. I know you can keep a secret. Help me out here, Roberts.
Fine. You should drop by the hospital tomorrow. Bye.
Bye.
I grab all of my crap from the bathroom and walk back to Colton's room. I pass him mom in the hallway. "Oh, um, hey," I say.
"Hi," she says. "Did you spend the night?" she asks me.
"Yeah, but we didn't do anything. I mean, I just got drunk, but nothing happened," I say. She laughs. Colton walks out of his room lazily and stretches but freezes when he sees his mom.

Romance"Okay, you know what? You're such a jackass and I never should have kissed you," I say. Colton stands up. His green eyes are just as angry as mine are. "Then why did you?" he asks. "I don't know!" I yell. "Why did you kiss me back?" "Hey, you kis...
