The London Boy (ON HOLD)

#4 Sunday

It's all very quiet. There's light coming from everywhere. I have no idea where I am or what time it is. I pull up the comforter to my nose. It smells familiar. I try to open my eyes and they co-operate. I blink a couple of times to adjust to the bright Sunday light. I stretch my hands and they hit the massive sun shaped headboard at the back. I immediately realise that I am in Leena's bedroom.

How the hell did I end up here?
I try to sit up but my head spins. I put my head in both my hands. I close my eyes.
It is now that I realise that my head is actually bursting with pain.
God ... this is what hangover feels like.
I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
Why.. why do I have to drink so much alcohol ?

"Ughhhhhh"
I groan !!

"Drink some more bourbon.. That'll surely help you"
I hear Leena's voice.
She is standing outside the inbuilt bathroom, freshly bathed and wearing her bath-robe.
How long has she been in there ?
She looks at me pointedly and I ignore her.

"Here .. Take these !"
She hands me a glass of lemonade and two Advils and she sits beside me on her bed.
The lemonade is chilled and very refreshing. I swallow both Advils with the lemonade. I feel myself calming and reviving

"How do you feel?"
Leena asks me in a sarcastic tone.

"My head hurts and I can't recall the events of last night"
I tell her innocently.

"I'm not surprised you don't remember anything !! Last time I checked you were pretty fucking drunk !"
She growls at me.

"Are you like mad at me or something ?"

"No !! I'm not mad at you. I'm just annoyed that you got drunk alone. Getting drunk is my thing, you know !"
She gives me a smile.

"I know.. I'm sorry that I did .. I just wanted to relax for one night.. But obviously it didn't turned out to be as relaxing as I thought it would be and how did you bring me here all by yourself.. I do remember that I passed out !!"

"Well, I may have used some help.." She says with a mischievous smile
"What help ? What do you mean ?"
I ask her.

"Ms. Katherine !! I am shocked .. you don't remember 'What help' I'm referring to ?"
She asks me raising her eyebrows and I furiously shake my head giving her my answer.

"Well.. Do you remember kissing someone yesterday?"
I scrunch my nose up and try to recall what Lee's talking about !

I remember drinking Vodka,
Gin & Tonic and Bourbon ..

My God that's a lot !!! No wonder my head hurts so bad !!
Then I recall dancing, a lot of offbeat carefree dancing.
I also remember talking to a tall dark man.
Did I kiss him ?
No ! Definitely not ! Although I wanted to but I'm pretty sure I didn't !

SHIT!! I recall seeing Lucas yesterday at the bar.
Was he the one I kissed ?
Oh God !! I hope not ..

"Was it Lucas ??"

"Mmm hmm.. Nope !!"
She shakes her head stating her point.

I concentrate hard and try to re-think about everything that happened yesterday...
