Today my life Begins

Chapter 15

Bruno groaned as he placed his palms to his temples and rubbed them, realising that he maybe drank to much, when the pounding in his head intensified. He slowly opened his eyes and scanned the room, and realised he wasn't in 'their' room. The events of last night began to flood his mind and the fact that he'd left Kiana there alone. "Oh shit" he groaned as he threw the covers back and gingerly sat up planting his feet to the floor. His head swam, he hurried to the bathroom and proceeded to release the entire contents of his stomach into the toilet. After rinsing his mouth and splashing cold water on his face he knew he needed pain killers and fast. He stepped out of the door and stood for a minute staring at the closed door in front of him, he stepped forward and gently tapped on the door "Kiana" he said softly, no answer, he tried again still no answer. He quietly opened the door hoping he didn't wake her, but he needed aspirin and fast. He stepped into the room but it was empty, he quickly opened the bathroom door expecting to see Kiana there...nothing. As he turned he noticed the ashtray piled high with cigarette stubs and the almost empty bottle of tequila on the floor. He remembered sitting there and smoking and obviously drinking, way to much by the looks of it. He remembered being pissed at her,  which he now realised was stupid he knew in his heart Kiki wouldn't cheat on him.  He reasoned that he must've slept in the other bedroom so as not to wake Kiana, and the fact he was pissed at her and his stupid male pride got the better of him. God I can be such a dick at times, he thought as he stared at the liquor bottle. 

He began to panic had she left him, without so much as a word had she gone. He made his way into the lounge area, unable to hurry as every step made him feel dizzy. With every step he took his head boomed "Oh God never again" he sighed, knowing that he was lying to himself. He rounded the corner and stepped into the lounge, but it too was empty. His eyes scanned the room and saw her case still laying there, a huge wave of relief washed over him, she hadn't gone. Wandering back to the bedroom he grabbed the bottle of pills from the night stand and tipped two into his hand and with a swig of water that he had grabbed from the mini fridge washed them down. He had to get dressed and find her, he turned on the shower and stepped in, he just stood there letting the cool water run over his head and down his body. He wished more than anything at this moment that he hadn't drank so much. He finished washing himself and turning off the flow of water stepped out and grabbed a towel. He rubbed his body dry then stood in front of the mirror, "Jesus I look fucking rough" he said to himself as he saw his reflection, he squeezed toothpaste onto his brush and began cleaning his teeth. He pulled some jeans and a t shirt from his case and pulled them on, he was showered and  dressed all within 15 minutes. He ran his fingers through his damp unruly curls and sticking his hat on stepped into the hallway closing and locking the door behind him.

Bruno made his way to Phil's room which he was sharing with Phred and gently tapped on the door. Within seconds the door opened and Phil stood there "Geez you look like shit" he scoffed as he stepped aside and allowed Bruno to enter. As Bruno walked into the lounge Phred turned from the small kitchen area where he was making coffee " Fuck man what in the hell time did you get to bed, you look rough" he laughed as Bruno rolled his eyes at him. "That's the fucking problem I have no idea what time I got in.... and.... Kiana was gone when I woke up". Bruno's gaze shifted from one to the other waiting for one of them to come up with a reason why and where Kiana had gone.

"Hey man don't look at us, how the hell would we know where she is, and when you say gone, you mean she's left Vegas?" Phil was asking in between sips of the hot coffee. Phred handed Bruno a mug "Here Bruh you look like you need it" he smirked as he turned away to grab his own mug. Bruno plonked himself down on the sofa and putting his lips to the rim of the mug slurped a mouthful of the hot liquid. "Nah she's still in Vegas I just don't where, her stuffs there but she's not" taking another sip as he finished his sentence. Phil cradled his mug and sat opposite Bruno on the other sofa "She probably went down to the gym, or for a walk, you know she probably needed to clear her head after last night" he side eyed Bruno letting him know that she had told him the full story, including his Hawaiian indiscretion.Although Bruno had no idea that Phil knew that part...yet.
