“Yeah. It’ll be nice to have a drink and let my hair down, too.” He chuckled, shaking his head at me. My choice of words was funny because I’d neveractuallylet my hair down since I’d arrived.
“Okay, now that everything has been decided, can I get the shots in?” Milly grinned.
“Yes, line them up,” Alex replied. What was I getting myself into?
It couldn’t get more embarrassing than having your teenager celebrity crush standing outside, holding your hair back while you got violently sick on the sidewalk. Why did I drink so much?
“We shouldn’t have let her down those last shots,” Alex called toward Steve. Milly was already waiting for us in the SUV to take us back to her apartment, but I needed to quit being sick before I could get in the car.
“You go back to the apartment. I’ll catch a cab once I’ve stopped throwing up,” I mumbled, still looking down at the ground. I hated being sick.
“I’m not leaving you here!”
“Alex, you’ll start to attract attention. I don’t want pictures of me throwing up on the sidewalk all over the papers in the morning. Go!”
“No, I’m not moving. Maybe you should try some water?” I tried to stand up straight as Steve passed Alex a bottle. “Take a few small sips in case you throw it back up.”
“You seem to have a lot of knowledge when it comes to drunken women.” Stumbling, I took the water from him.
“I do, but you’re the cutest drunk I’veeverhad to look after.” In my drunken state, I did a girly giggle and blushed. He was going to tease me about this in the morning. “Come on, let’s get you back to Milly’s so you can sleep this off.”
“You think I’m cute,” I sniggered, hiccupping.
“I think you’re more than cute, Straight Lace,” he sighed, holding me around my waist as I tried to get into the SUV.More than cute? Wow!
“If you’re sick on me, you’re paying the dry cleaning bill,” Milly threatened as I sat opposite her. Holding my hand up, I was going to reply, but I passed out instead.
I vaguely remember being carried and placed on something soft. A blanket was put over me, and I felt soft lips press against my forehead. No more alcohol for me; I’d never hallucinated on drink before.
Hangovers: I’d had my fair share over the years, but this one rated up there in the top five. My head was thumping so hard that I couldn’t focus on anything except the pain.
“Here, take these.” Looking up, I saw Milly smiling down at me. Jeez, she looked fresh and stunning.
“What time is it?” I groaned, holding my head as I sat up.
“It’s just past ten. Alex is taking a shower. You can have one after him. I’ll lend you some of my clothes to travel back in.”
“Thanks.” She was so nice.
“You seem to be settling into my old job well.”
“You left me quite some shoes to fill, Milly. You’re a damn legend.”
“You’re doing just fine,” she winked. We both turned as Alex walked out of the bathroom dripping wet, with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Biting the inside of my cheek, I tried to contain my desire.
“You’re awake,” he grinned, stepping closer toward me. I could see the droplets of water weaving down his well-defined chest. I’d never wanted to lick a chest so much in my life. “How are you feeling?”
“Hung over. I…I… I’ll go and have a shower now.” He was getting too close. I made my escape and rushed into the bathroom.
Once I’d showered and changed into the clothes Milly had left for me, I felt much better. The clothes weren’t really my style, though. I was wearing a skirt, for a start, and a short white top that showed off my stomach a little more than I liked, but it was good of her to lend me the clothes.
Alex stopped eating his breakfast when I walked out. “You look…nice.”
“I knew she would have a killer pair of legs in those heels,” Milly winked, looking pleased with herself. “I’ve got to head over to the studio. Lock up when you’re done. I’ll see you two at Diego’s party next week. I can’t wait!” She pecked us both on the cheek and was gone.
“She is crazy,” I laughed.
“I know.” Alex looked at his phone. “Steve is waiting downstairs for us. Do you want anything to eat before we go?” I shook my head. “I should change your nickname to Light Weight.”
