I wake up and toss the blankets off of me while my stomach mixes. Rushing to the bathroom I spill my stomach into the toilet. I hear footsteps come up behind me.
"I got you." Mary says pulling my hair back.
I continue to vomit until my stomach feels a little better.
"Get back in bed and I'll make you some soup." She says.
"I'm not sick." I say, "Just hung over."
"I don't care." She says, "I'll be right back."
Ten minutes later she walks through the door with a blue glass bowl that's steaming.
"Thanks." I say taking a bite.
The warm soup slides down my throat making me feel better.
"Okay, I'll check on you soon." She says.
I finish my soup a few minutes later and place the bowl on my night stand before closing my eyes.
**********
"Hey."
"Hey?"
I roll over and look up at Parker's face, "What're you doing here?" I groan.
"Mary called." He says, "You're dumb."
"Thanks." I say smiling.
"I really want to talk to you and seems like now I can because you won't run away." He says with a short laugh.
I sit up and he sits next to me, "I'm Parker Hart, I'm sorry for not telling you about the party." He says.
Continuing, "I really do care about you, I never would think for a minute you would, I know I don't show it and I really will try."
I wrap my arms around his neck hugging him with joy. When I pull away he's smiling, my stomach begins to churn again so I launch my self across the bed and through by bathroom door.
"Oh!" I hear Parker say.
Mary rushes in and pulls my hair back.
"Could you hold her hair, I'm going to make more soup." Mary says.
I feel them switch and Parker's presence behind me as I continue to release all of the alcohol.
"How often do you drink?" He asks.
"Not often." I say putting my face back over the toilet.
"Oh that's why." He says. I nod a little.
A few more minutes go by until I begin to stand.
"All good?" He asks.
I nod and walk to my bed as he lets go of my hair.
"You're hair's really soft." His face turns red. I giggle quietly knowing he didn't mean to say that.
"Thanks." I whisper trying not to hurt my throat more.
Mary comes in with the same bowl refilled and Parker sits at the end of my bed.
"Okay, well I'll just be here." Mary says.
"It's okay, go home, I'll stay here with her." Parker says looking up at Mary.
Mary tilts her head toward me for approval before I nod while smiling. She walks toward me and leans down to my ear while hugging me.
"Told you." She whispers before walking out.
I hear him chuckle as I continue to take bites.
"Do you want to watch TV?" He asks.
I nod and he hands me the remote, he slides up next to me while watching the TV.
"Thank you." I say smiling.
"It's no big deal." He says shrugging.
"I'm sorry." I say.
"For what?, I'm the one who should be sorry." He says.
"I'll give you your jacket back tomorrow." I say.
"Don't worry, I've got plenty and something tells me I'll be getting it back at some point." He says smirking.
I continue to watch TV and place my empty bowl on the nightstand again.
********
I wake up with Parker's arms wrapped around my shoulders and my face on his chest.
"Good sleep?" He asks.
I sit up and scoot away from him, "Yeah." I say.
"You're really cute when you blush." He says chuckling.
I cover my face with my hands and stand, "I'm going to take a shower." I say.
"Can I join?" He asks smiling.
I pick a pillow and toss it at him, "No." I say closing the door.
I quickly take his jacket off and then my shirt. While looking in the mirror at my tired face I take the rest of my clothes off and get in the shower.
When I get out the I dry off and realize I didn't put a new pair of clothes in here. UGH. I'm not going to put my vomit and beer soaked clothes back on. I wrap a towel around my body making sure every part, from my chest to my legs are covered. When I open the door Parker's eyes widen and he grins.
"Eyes off." I say walking to my closet.
"No." He says walking over.
I pick out a black long sleeve and a pair of shorts. He stands close as I place my clothes on my bed.
"Okay, leave." I say.
"Why?" He asks.
"Because I told you to." I say holding back my smirk.
I hear the door close and begin to get dressed quickly, the fear of him walking in rises until putting on the last thing.
"Okay!" I yell.
The door opens once second after, "Damn." He says quietly.
"Shut up." I say feeling hot.
"It's okay, I don't date anyways." He says seriously.
My heart stops as I stare at him. He doesn't move, he doesn't regret it.
He's actually serious.
"Can you go?" I say trying not to freak out.
"What? why?" He asks.
"Just please." I say pointing.
He walks out and a few minutes later I hear the front door close as well.
I plop on my bed. Maybe I didn't hear him right, I did. Who am I kidding? Did I really think he liked me? No he just wanted me for different reasons.
Fuck, I'm such an idiot. I bury my face in my pillows and groan. I'm not going to sit here and do nothing all day. I'll call a guy and ask if he want's to go out, get my mind off of Parker.
