I woke up with the mother and father of a hangover. The tail end of last night was a little blurry, though I did recall flashes of Afric coming back here with me in a taxi. Freaking out, I sat up in bed, trying to recall what happened, what I’d said to her. There was a half-finished glass of water on my nightstand. I picked it up and downed it in one long gulp, just as the memories resurfaced.

Oh, God.

I’d told her I wanted her.

I’d rested my head on her perfect breasts, nuzzled her neck, backed her up against the wall, and inhaled her scent. But … wait, had she said something about wanting me, too? The memory was too hazy to recall her exact words, but she certainly hadn’t been disgusted by my advances.

I was so full of regret and sick with a hangover that all I wanted to do was stay in bed all day and feel sorry for myself. I couldn’t do that, though, because I’d stupidly arranged to meet Annabelle. Not only that, I’d asked Afric to accompany me. So, now I had to meet Annabelle face to face with a hangover, and I also had to do it while being mortifyingly embarrassed for practically groping my newest friend last night.

Maybe deep down, I was a truly despicable person.

I sat there, wallowing for a long few minutes before I finally dragged myself out of bed and into the shower. I scrubbed my entire body clean while trying to figure out how to act in front of Afric when I saw her. Perhaps I should feign amnesia? People got too drunk to remember things all the time, right? At least that way, we wouldn’t have to discuss it.

I want to kiss you. I can’t stop thinking about it.

I winced. I couldn’t believe I’d told her that. What on earth had possessed me? I was normally so good at keeping my feelings and impulses to myself, but a few beers and a bit of jet lag and I was spilling my guts to one of the few people I truly enjoyed spending time with.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t show up today. I’d probably scarred her for life with my drunken advances.

It was almost time for me to head out to the café when my phone buzzed with a text.

Afric: Hey! How’s your head? I’m outside your building, and I brought coffee. Thought you could do with some caffeine before you face Annabelle.

Just like that, relief hit. I hadn’t scarred her for life. At the very least, I hadn’t scared her away completely. Now I just needed to worry about what she remembered me saying to her.

Neil: My head is pounding. It’s my own fault, really. Stay where you are. I’m on my way down.

I grabbed my keys and wallet, then made my way to the lift. One of my neighbours, an elderly woman with curly, plum-dyed hair, was bringing her Pomeranian for a walk. The little dog emitted a tiny growl when I passed, and I made sure to give it a wide berth.
