Kelsey
I will never drink alcohol, ever again... Swear!
I went downstairs after washing my face for the nth time because I just threw up, AGAIN!
"Here, have this." My mom said placing the hangover soup in front of me. She said she had learned it from a Korean colleague in the hospital and it helps with the hangover.
If eyes could kill, my mom would've killed me already. Thank goodness they don't. Don't get me wrong, I'm subjective to self harm but I'm not suicidal, yet. I know it's stupid.
"Sweetheart, I love that you're having friends and you're going out again. I truly do. But I will never allow you to be that wasted again, okay?" She said while fixing her dress. She'd be on her 12-hour shift today. Probably doing consultations for her patients or whatever she does there.
"Ate Kelsey!" My eyes looked tiredly at Max whose making her way downstairs. She's dressed up and ready to go somewhere.
"Saan ka pupunta?" (Where are you going?) I asked groggily.
"Going out with friends." She said quickly and I just nodded at her.
Wrapped in my blanket, I started making my way for the living room. Made myself comfortable on the couch and watched netflix since I've got nothing to do today and I don't feel like going out. While I was into the movie, my phone vibrated then all of a sudden, Bigi was calling me through Facetime. I frowned at the thought of him calling me at a Saturday morning because no matter how close we both are, it's never really usual for us to call each other's phones.
"Hey." I said when I answered the phone. After taking my meds and finishing the soup my mom made, here I am drowning myself in netflix and facetiming Bigi. What a healthy way for me to cure my hangover, note the sarcasm.
"Oh you look terrible." He joked and I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah. Thanks." I replied as I keep my eyes on the television.
"What are you doing?" He asked because I look like I'm just zoning out to him right now since I'm busy binge watching Riverdale right now.
I flipped the camera so he could see what I'm doing and he laughed a little.
"Stop laughing." I grunted with narrowed eyebrows and once again he laughed at me.
"Sorry, can't help it. You're doing exactly the same with Chloe. Gareth called and he said he's taking care of his girlfriend."
"And?" I asked, my eyes still focused on the screen.
"I'm going to drop the call now, gotta go somewhere." He said and dropped the call. I tossed it on my side and watched the series I've been wanting to watch. I've been way too busy after moving and all and had completely forgotten about watching the series.
I was halfway through my third episode when I hear a doorbell. I stared at the door way too long and my dad must have sensed my stupidity that he went to the door himself. Who in the world stares at the door and waits for it to open itself? Me.
"Hey Bigi." Dad said and opened the door for him. He got in and my head tilt to my side and looked at the food he got.
"Honey, I'm going to the site today, okay? Best behavior." I nodded at my father and he left the house.
"Now, you look worse." Bigi mocked after hearing the sound of my father's car leaving the house. I roll my eyes at him since I can't really smack him with a pillow since I've been throwing up this morning and my head really hurts, a lot.
"I'm never the best in drinking alcohol." I said not even remembering the name of the beverage I drank last night but I remember clearly how it burned my throat and how bitter it tasted after it landed on my tastebuds. I winced at the memory and felt sorry for my whole digestive system for having that inside them.
"You should never drink again." He said and I nodded agreeing to him.
I didn't do anything stupid, I'm sure of that. I wasn't that drunk to make a complete fool out of me or do anything inappropriate. It's juts that I'm not used to having alcohol in my system.
"You know what? I will pay for our lunch on Monday." I said looking over the bags of fruits and other foods that he just brought over in my house. This is too much.
"Why? Did you bump your head or something?" He chuckled at me. Ever since we've met, I never really paid for anything. Not like they had let me anyway. But I'm feeling guilty already. I was never really used at people spending this much money on me even if they were just food.
"I just want to." I said with a smile and leaned my head on the couch looking for a comfortable position then Bigi suddenly put a pillow on my back and my head on his shoulder. I was shocked with what he did that I was frozen in my place.
When I recovered with his actions, I went back to watching even though I had to lean away from his shoulder. The position was comfortable but I can't help but be uncomfortable around him. It's not like he'll do anything bad about it, it's just that I can't seem to steady my heart. I don't know.
"Let's watch something else." He said the moment Jughead and Betty kissed and I groaned at him because I was getting too into the series. I forgot he's my visitor right now so I'm not gonna push what I wanted but then an idea popped inside my head and a smirk played on my lips before linking my phone to our tv.
