I felt myself drifting off to sleep, then thought of something.
“Lombardi?”
“Barlow?”
“Thanks for being you.”
“Likewise. Now, go to sleep.”
I sniggered. “Okay, Mister Bossy.”
“Night, Piper.”
I snuggled further into him and his arm tightened around me.
“Night, Roman.”
I woke up and my mouth felt fuzzy, much like my memory of how I’d got home the night before and what I assumed was a fair amount before that. Last thing I remembered was...dancing with Hadley next to the bonfire?
There was this stellar ache in my head and my stomach felt terrible.
And, there was a super annoying noise.
It was coming from my phone and I realised it was an alarm. Like loud screeching in my tired ears.
I groaned and picked up my phone, wondering why the hell an alarm I would never have set was going off. My eyes took a moment to adjust, but I saw writing on the screen. I blinked a few more times and couldn’t help smiling when I finally registered what it said;
Because every good hangover starts with a rude awakening :P
I swiped the alarm off and saw there was a new message from Roman and his hilarious yet somehow still flattering picture.
Roman:See you in the morning, you adorable drunk. And, don’t think about deleting it! I have the original.
I clicked on the picture to enlarge it and groaned. It was a selfie of the two of us presumably from the night before. I had my head on his chest and I was either passed out or asleep – probably passed out, even though I looked fairly respectable. Roman was smiling. But, it wasn’t one of those sweet smiles you usually see on people in those sorts of pictures; he was totally paying me out.
So, I sent him a reply to his text with a bunch of stupid cat GIFs. That would learn him for A, taking a terribly incriminating picture, and B, being a dick by setting that annoying alarm.
I got a reply while I was still lying in bed and wondering if I’d have to visit the bathroom to no doubt gag up the incredible amount of nothing I felt like I had in my stomach.
Roman:So, you’re alive.
Me:I’m alive. I think.
I added a couple more annoying GIFs for good measure.
Roman:I liked that one with the flamingo, though.
Me:That’s what you get for being a dick.
Roman:Annoyed by you incessantly?
Me:You love it.
Roman:I do. Wouldn’t have you any other way.
Me:What happened last night? Did you bring me home?
Roman:I did. I was a perfect gentleman.
