When I wake up in the morning it is too damn bright, and I feel like my head is spinning. I can feel the alcohol from last night starting to force it's way back out. I run to the bathroom, getting there just in time for the contents of my stomach to fall out. I don't remember much of last night. I'm sure that I talked to Zach and Tom, and danced with Zayn. I vaguely remember dancing on a bar, and that's the extent of it.

After I feel like all of my organs are in the toilet, I flush, then get off the floor to wash my face and brush my teeth. I open the door, not seeing anyone in the bed. It's almost 2PM; I must've drank a lot of alchol last night. I don't have any pants on, only Zayn's shirt and my undergarments. Zayn's clothes are scattered on the floor. What the fuck happened last night?

I open the door to go into the hallway. I soon find myself in the kitchen, grabbing a few Tylenol to calm my headache. Zayn's in there, standing in his boxers while he cooks something.

"I made cheese quesadillas," Zayn smiles, sliding one onto a plate.

"Thank you, Zayn. You're the best."

"Not even close. How are you feeling?"

"Shitty. I have a headache and my body is sore and I just threw up every organ in my body."

"That's what happens when you drink more than the average alcoholic can." Zayn turns towards me, grabbing me by the waist. I pull him down so I can kiss him softly. "So what do you actually remember from last night?"

"Well, I remember talking to Zach and Tom, and dancing with you, and I think I may have danced on a bar, but that's a bit groggy."

"So you don't remember our banging sex?"

"We, uh? Shit, I'm not on birth control and condoms aren't very reliable. Zayn, what if I'm pregnant?! Fuck, I can't get pregnant now, I've-"

"I'm kidding, babe," Zayn chuckles, kissing my forhead. "You did dance on the bar, and you had a lot of free drinks because of that. And we came back and I found you only in your undergarments until I gave you my shirt. And then you made me sleep in my boxers instead of my sweats. And then we, uh, went to bed."

"You're so mean. Did I say anything stupid?"

"Uh, no, no, you didn't."

"You sound so sure of that. What did I say?"

"It wasn't anything bad."

"Tell me, Zayn. Or I won't kiss you ever again."

"It's not vulgar. You just said that you want us to be official, and that drunk words are sober thoughts."

"Fuck, I'm so embarrassing. Forget I fucking said that."

"It is true, though?"

"Zayn-"

"Sydney, I want to know if it is true."

"Okay, yeah, it is. Fuck my life."

"Don't say that."

"I'm so fucking embarrassed." I bury my face in my hands.

"Don't be." Zayn pulls my hands away, kissing me softly. "Now, eat your quesadilla, hungover one."

"Aren't you hungover too?"

"I got drunk but I didn't drink nearly as much as you, babe. I nursed my hangover before you woke up."

"Whatever. I regret nothing."

"No ragrets?"

"No ragrets," I confirm, taking a bite of the quesadilla in front of me. "Oh my god, this is delicious."
