Bang and Burn ~ Dreamnotfound + Skephalo

Chapter 2

George wakes up in a bed that isn't his own. The mattress was a lot firmer and his body ached. He opens his eyes and looks around. He was in a hotel room of some sort. The walls were coral colored and had paintings hung on the wall. The bed itself was white. George sits up, but becomes overwhelmed with a headache. He throws the blanket off to get up, but nearly screams.

I'm naked. Why am I naked? He thought. His question was answered as a tall, blonde man came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His skin was glowing and wet from the shower he had finished taking. Holy shit! I slept with someone! He screamed in his head.

He locks eyes with George for a moment, then looks away. "I'm sorry. I swear I wasn't trying to look."

George looks to the side of his bed and finds his clothes. He quickly slips into his underwear and pants, then tells the man, "You can look. I'm decent." The man silently goes to the other side of the bed where his clothes were as George slips on his shirt. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry," George says. "I was having a rough day yesterday. I'm not one to do these sort of things."

The man waves his hand towards George. "No worries. You and I both were having a rough time, I guess." He slips into his button up shirt. "Do you need a ride somewhere?"

George shakes his head. "I think I'm ok. I'm just going to text my friend."

The man nods. "Ok, just let me know if you do need a ride. I ordered room service, by the way. I didn't know what you liked so I got a little bit of everything. There's also some coffee in the kitchen."

George walks out of the bedroom into a huge living space complete with a kitchen and large dining area. A large selection of breakfast food is spread across the table. The room was so nice, George almost didn't believe he was in an actual hotel anymore. But after spotting a binder with information about the hotel, he was able to confirm he was just in a really nice room.

The man walks out into the living room, his shirt still completely unbuttoned, showing off his muscular chest. His dress pants hung loosely on his hips and his hair was still messy. George couldn't help but stare as the man spoke to him.

"I hope you can find something there that you like. You're also welcome to take anything with you," the man says. He starts to button up his shirt to George's disappointment. "I'm sorry, this is going to make me sound like an ass, but could you please remind me of your name?"

George laughs. "I'm George. Don't feel bad, I don't think I even asked for your name last night."

The man smiles. "I don't know if I should feel better or worse. Well, George, I'm Clay."

"It's nice to meet you," George says as he grabs a plateful of bacon.

Clay smiles. "And you too, George." As Clay grabs a plate and starts picking out his breakfast, George can't help but stare at him some more. Drunk George had great taste.

"You're doing an awful lot for a one-night stand," George points out. "You bring me to a fancy hotel, you buy a five course breakfast, and you make me coffee. That's a lot of money and time to spend on someone you're never seeing again."

The man gives him a look. "Um, you said that you're paying for all of this." George's eyes fill with panic for a moment, but soften when Clay starts wheezing. "Oh my god, I didn't mean to scare you. It's a joke! I was just trying to make you laugh, I swear."

George relaxes and lets out a light laugh. "Well, you got me."

Clay shakes his head. "Ok, honestly? I've never had a one-night stand before. This is all new to me. Plus, I've never slept with a guy so gorgeous before."
