The Tides That Join Us Together

Chapter 88: Shit-Faced Szn Morning After

Cameron

I was awoken this morning to the sun shining right into my soul, naked, half of me hanging off the bed. If China and I did have sex, I really don't remember it. My head was pounding, my mouth was dry, and I was so hungry. What I thought was intensified throbbing due to my headache, but was actually soft rhythmic taps against the wall.

"Chi?" I groggily said, sitting up. "What are you doing?" I turned around to look at her, but she was sound asleep, still in her shorts and shirt from last night. I must have been acting crazy before I went to bed then. The rhythmic taps intensified as I got up to put my boxers and shorts back on, yawning and running my  hands through my hair. Stepping out into the hallway, taking in all my surroundings, I heard soft moans coming from the room next door. Well that explains it all. I chuckled slightly to myself.

"Good-morning sunshine." Thomas said as he was putting a breakfast sandwich together.

"So it's Taj and Mercedes that's fucking." I said.

"Again?" he questioned.

"Oh?" I questioned back.

"They went at it real loud last night." he said.

"I have no recollection." I said back.

"Here have my sandwich, you look like you need it." he said, sliding it across the counter to me. "I'll make another one. I made enough for all of us to have at least two."

"Appreciate ya." I said. "How was your night?"

"It's not fun taking care of a drunk Lauryn, but better me than someone else." he said, throwing another sandwich together.

"I woke up naked." I said, laughing a bit as I bit into my sandwich. "But we didn't do nothing though because she wasn't naked when I looked at her."

"Damn." he said, laughing. "What did you get up to when you went up there?"

"I don't know." I said. "I really don't. I wish I did."

"What are the two of you doing today?" he asked, me taking another bite of my sandwich.

"I'm taking her out to get a mani-pedi." I said. "Then she's gonna come with me so I can get my hair cut."

"But we love long haired Cameron." he said.

"I know, but I'm not feeling the high maintenance right now." I said back. "Wanna keep it low profile for right now."

"Makes sense." he said back.

"What's going on fellas?" Taj asked as he made his way into the kitchen, loading with hickeys, grabbing a water bottle out of the fridge.

"Had fun last night noisy neighbor?" Thomas asked, taking a seat next to me and biting into his sandwich.

"Aye, listen, about that." Taj began. "My bad y'all, got carried away."

"Cam.." Lauryn sleepily said, walking down the stairs.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Chi's throwing up." she said.

"Light weight." I said, smirking as I got up and ran up the stairs to China. "You alright?"
