Pride and prejudice // MYG

Chapter 38

I opened my eyes and felt how sore my throat was. Near the bed on the table, there was a glass of water. Reaching and grabbing it, I quickly emptied the glass and put my head down on the pillow again. Somewhere deep down I knew some stupid things happened yesterday and I had to explain a lot to my friends and others but now these minutes of sleep was my top priority.

After sometime, I heard soft knock on the door and a brown haired girl peeked inside, smiling. I immediately closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Maybe because I really needed more sleep or I did not want to face the reality and talk to anyone.

- Bri, hey. - whispered Ally and softly touched my arm, trying to wake me up. - Its time to wake up.

- mmmhm, five minutes. - I grunted and she sighed.

- It's already 12 PM and we have a lot of things to do. - she said quietly.

I hated myself for making this sweet girl worry. I was a scaredy-cat and didn't want to face her now. I know shes mad at me for disappearing and not answering her calls yesterday and she has all the right to be.

- Okay, 5 minutes and I'll come back. - she said and left.

In reality, I was already wide-awake. I quickly jumped out of the bed and instantly regretted it, as the head ache hit me like a bomb and I almost tripped on my own foot. Fuck I'm severely hungover.

I looked down on the outfit Jacque gave me yesterday and decided to keep it cause I really didn't feel like wearing that dress again. Black sweatpants and white sweatshirt with high heels? Why the fuck not.

I quickly ran to the bathroom next door and washed my face. I didn't look as bad as I felt. As I gathered my things, I sneaked out the room, not knowing where to go. I tried to remember how I got here but I didn't remember shit.

I saw the long corridor and walked to the other end of it. Then there was a door, another hall and another corridor. As I opened a random door I bumped into someone.

- Oh, excus... - I started and gasped seing his face. - oh, hey. - I blurted out and didn't know where to hide.

- Here you are. - Said Sebastian and smiled down at me. He took a step back, giving me some space to stand normally. - how did you sleep? - he asked casually, which obviously weirded me out.

- g-good actually. - I smiled quickly and looked away, - how about you?

- me too, but my butt hurts after falling. - he said and smirked, making me chuckle uncomfortably.

- Oh yeah, about that...

- Im sorry I shouldn't have pushed you so far so quickly. - he said and I sighed in relief.

- Yeah. - I let out, as we walked down the stairs together.

- I really want to try again. - he said and I stilled.

- Um... listen, you are a great guy, really - I started and he looked at me with his puppy eyes. We walked the corridor and were on the way down to another stairs. This place is like a maze. - Im just not looking for anything serious yet. - I smiled at him and he nodded in response.

It seemed like we were down to the first floor and he lead me to the place where we at first got yesterday. Jacque's club. I wonder if he owned this whole building.

- By the way, what happened yesterday, after... you know. - I asked and he chuckled.

- I tried to find you, - he said, - I thought you actually was ready to, you know, go for it but after I leaned in, you pushed me and gave me the look like I did something horrible. - he chuckled regretfully. - I really didn't mean to frighten you.
