My eyes slowly flutter open but they close right when the morning sunlight hits them.

"God." I mumble to myself as my head starts pounding harshly. I haven't even been awake for a full minute yet and the start to my day is already declining.

My eyes glance over to the clock reading 7:37 am. Why the hell am I up so early?

Unexpectedly, the memories of last night start flooding into my brain and that just makes my head hurt even more.

As I recollect the events of my terrible night out, Michael walks into the room with a tray and that's when I remember that I spent the night in his room.

He plops himself down onto his bed, still holding on tightly to the platter which is filled with fruits, waffles and a cup of orange juice.

Could he be any sweeter?

"You're probably super hungry so I just thought to bring you some food."

I smile at his kindness and take it from his hands, though I went through an unbearable
amount of pain last night, sitting with Michael is actually making me feel better.

"Thank you, you're too sweet."

He shakes his head and grins. "I'm really not."

I uncontrollably gawk at his outfit, he always looks so handsome but today he looks his best.

He's wearing a red pullover with his white collar sticking out, long but cropped at the ankle black slacks, black loafers and white socks.

"Anyway, we should get you to the doctors office." He says which causes me to make a face out of confusion.

"Doctors office?" I repeat.

"Yeah, I told you last night-" He looks at my expression. "Now thinking about it, that probably wasn't a good idea considering you weren't in the best state."

I half heartedly nod once I start thinking about the night I just want to forgot about.

"But we should go. Just to make sure you don't have any STD's."

"He didn't go that far though."

He shrugs as he stands up from the bed. "Can't hurt to do it anyway."

I have to agree with him on that, I don't know what that man could have gave me or what diseases I could have caught from laying on that disgusting floor.

"I'll give you some time to eat first."

"Thanks." My lips mold into a thin line and I'm no longer okay anymore, I feel even worse than I did last night.

He leaves the room and now it's just me and this food together.

"Well, can't let all this food go to waste." I say under my breath and start eating, while the thought of the office parades around in my mind.

"You know you're handling this super well." Michael comments as we simultaneously get into his car.

Yeah because I'm here with you.

"I just want to move past it. I was so shaken up last night, I thought I was going to die purely because of how fast my heart was racing." I tell him, almost reliving that revolting moment.
