Charlotte

Charlotte - SOS

Kayla - WTF? What’s going on?

Charlotte - So, I did something last night

Kayla - Did you jump Jake’s bones?

Charlotte - No?

Kayla - That’s disappointing, you look like you could do with a good dicking

Charlotte - Kayla!

Kayla - What?

Charlotte - Jake and I kissed

Kayla - Shut up

Kayla - Are you freaking kidding me?

Charlotte - Nope it really happened and then I threw up after

Kayla - On him?

Charlotte - No in a plant pot

Charlotte - I was drunk

Charlotte - Now I’m hungover and overthinking

Kayla - I’m on my way and I’m bringing ingredients for mimosas

Charlotte - Kay, I just said I’m hungover

Kayla - I heard you girl, trust me the best way to get over a hangover is to drink more

Kayla - I’ll be with you soon babe, Louis is lecturing me on how to jump a car

Kayla – It’s so sexy when he’s in teacher mode

Charlotte – TMI Kay, I’ll see you soon

Crawling out of bed, I try to make myself look as presentable as I can. I feel and look like an absolute sack of shit and now my mind is starting to play tricks on me. My insecurities are coming back like a ghost to haunt me. I know what Jake said this morning about wanting me, and the tattoo on his arm is evidence enough, but I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it all. What do I have to offer him?

Bella’s barking at the door, which means Kayla's arrived. I open the door and she’s standing there with a champagne bottle in one hand, orange juice for our mimosas in the other, and some takeout bags by her feet along with a very excited Remy, her wiener dog. He runs off with Bella and they’re soon curled up together.

“I grabbed us some breakfast, something to soak up the alcohol you’ve already ingested, along with what we’re about to have,” she smiles at me as she shimmies with the bottles.

Unwrapping what looks like the most delicious smoked salmon and scrambled egg bagel, I dive right in. I didn’t realize how hungry I was as I moan around a mouthful. Kayla’s making the mimosas, which look to be 90% champagne, and actually, I think I’m going to need it to get through this conversation. She brings over our drinks and gets straight down to business.

“So, yesterday took a turn from when we spoke in the morning. You kissing Jake was not on my bingo card.” She takes a sip of her drink.

“Trust me, it wasn’t on mine either.” My cheeks pinken at the memory of sitting in his lap with his tongue in my mouth. I quickly take a bite of my food and wash it down with my cocktail.

“So, what happened? How did it happen? Did he use tongue? Was he hard? I have so many questions.” Kayla takes a massive bite of her own bagel while eagerly waiting for me to spill the tea.
