It’s intense. It’s morbid.
I climb off the bed and walk to the kitchen to get something to drink that doesn’t have a drop of booze in it.
I settle for a bottle of orange juice.
As I’m chugging the vitamin C goodness, there’s movement from the corner of my eye.
Mila.
I stop drinking and turn my head.
She gasps when she sees me.
Her hair is a mess and she looks rough.
Without saying a word I hand her the bottle of orange juice.
She drinks as though she’s walked through a desert for a month without water.
I open the fridge and get her a bottle of water.
She takes that next.
“You wouldn’t happen to have sunglasses too, would you?”
“No, honey,” I whisper. “Went a little hard?”
“We all did,” she says. “So fucking hypocritical though.”
“What is?”
“Nothing,” she says.
She drinks more water.
Then she puts her head back, closes her eyes, and she exhales with a slight groan.
I’m thrust right back to the night before.
I can’t help myself as I get closer to her.
I’m close enough to kiss her.
Mila looks at me.
“Jax,” she whispers, already shaking her head.
“What’s wrong, honey? Too afraid to get caught?”
“No. It’s not that. It’s…”
“What?”
“Last night.”
“I was there,” I say.
“Jax. We were drunk.”
