Levi

After ringing Linda’s doorbell, Levi rested his head against the screen door.

How much did I drink last night?

He hadn’t thrown up yet, but he felt so miserable that he wondered if he should just force himself to so he could get it over with and let the healing begin.

He’d been slightly confused when he’d woken up in Inigo’s bed with two used condoms lying next to him. Both men had sported horrible hangovers, and neither did more than grunt at each other before Levi had hurriedly dressed and left to pick up Daxter.

I wish I could remember what we did.

He knew they’d had sex, obviously, but the details were few and far between. From what he could remember, and the lingering ache from whatever Inigo had done to him, it had been an impressive night of debauchery and it was a shame to lose all those memories.

Stupid tequila.

When Linda answered the door, she said in a high-pitched and entirely too loud voice, “Good morning, sunshine.” After one careful look at Levi, she laughed and lowered her voice. “You look like shit. That must’ve been some date. Come on in and tell me all about it.”

Levi shook his head and covered his mouth with a fist to keep his stomach where it belonged. The smell of sausage when the door had opened had almost done him in.

“Not right now. I need to go home and lie down. I think I’m catching a cold.”

Linda smiled at his obvious lie. “The kids are halfway through Kung Fu Panda. What you probably need is quiet more than anything. We also rented the sequel. If you play your cards right, you could sit on the couch and talk to me for a while, and still have time for several hours of napping right here while the kids stay in the basement and leave you alone. Don’t forget. You promised to take mine home with you this morning. You’re not going to back out on me, are you?” She stepped out onto the porch to hold the screen door open with her back. “So are you coming in and telling me about your night, or taking the loud, obnoxious wrecking crew home with you? I’ll call it even on the babysitting if the gossip is good enough.”

Levi stepped into the house. “You drive a hard bargain, Miss Macintosh.”

“Go sit down on the couch and I’ll get you some water and aspirin. When you get hydrated a little bit, we’ll see if we can get a little food in you to absorb up all that hangover.”

Levi crept slowly through the house and had just barely settled onto the couch when Linda rejoined him with a glass and two pills in her hands.

“Thanks,” he said. “I know it’s a lie, but I’m never drinking again.”

Linda left and came back a moment later with two coffee mugs that she set on the coffee table before settling on the opposite end of the couch from him, her legs tucked up under her.
