My eyes flutter open, and it feels like I’ve been stabbed in the skull. Slowly, what happened last night comes back to me. I remember finding out about Shane and Missy. I remember pouring two shots… I remember the feel of Jack’s lips against mine. But did that really happen, or was it just an alcohol-induced dream?

I wrack my brain to come up with some indication Jack and I had really made out, but I can’t—and I certainly can't ask him “hey, did we kiss last night?”

After spending way too much time hiding in my bed with the blanket over my head, I decide my best plan of action is to wait for him to make the first move. If he does, I’ll know it had been real. If he doesn’t, I’ll know it was all a dream.

I climb out of bed and get dressed slowly. The pounding in my head is a constant reminder of how much I had to drink the night before. I open the door and peek out. Jack is standing in the kitchen eating a piece of toast. He certainly doesn’t seem to be afflicted by the nausea that’s twisting my stomach up. In fact, he doesn’t seem to be hung over at all.

“Morning,” I say faintly.

“Hey,” he replies shortly and turns his attention back to the newspaper article he was reading.

Well, that doesn’t bode well. I hoped for some sort of hint from him, but he’s acting completely normal—calm, cool, and distant. It’s definitely a point in the “it was a dream” column.

I make my way to the refrigerator and retrieve a bottle of water. I’m disappointed, but it really makes more sense that my drunk mind had made the whole thing up—I mean, in what sort of universe would a guy like Jack go for a girl like me? I take my bottle of water and go into the living room to read a magazine. Now that I’ve gotten the silly idea of Jack and me out of my head things can get back to normal: generally ignoring each other. I try not to listen to the voice in the back of my head that whines it doesn’t want to ignore Jack. Why set myself up for that sort of pain again?
