Chapter Seven

Mitchell would believe his head had been severed from his body if it hadn’t been blatantly clear that something had died in his mouth. The pounding in the upper part of his body couldn’t be outdone by the carcass he surely must be gnawing on. If he had to guess, it would be a skunk. A bald skunk. He tried to push it away from his teeth but it was going nowhere.

“Why are you sticking your tongue out at me?”

Kayden. Mitchell figured the sexy assistant was probably still here. He’d woken up in the middle of the night and had to piss like no one’s business. He’d stumbled to the bathroom, apparently still half drunk, and had been startled by Kayden gripping his hips behind him to steady him as he relieved himself. When they’d made their way back to bed, he’d hovered around Mitchell with his arms held out as a person does a toddler who is learning to walk. Mitchell had wondered why the man was even here in the first place and knew they should probably talk about things. But apparently his tongue had now morphed into some semblance of a bloated dead animal.

And he was thirsty.

Mitchell groaned as he licked his lips and moved his tongue around, trying to create some saliva.

“Lift up, I brought you some water.”

“Bless you,” Mitchell mumbled as he clumsily sat up. He took the glass and sipped.

“I also have the boudin and crackers we bought last night.”

Mitchell kept drinking the water but darted his eyes at Kayden questioningly. He barely remembered getting off work, and nowhere in his fragmented memory was there a shopping trip for food.

Kayden smiled. “I had to get gas last night. You said you wanted something to eat when I stopped and you saw the boudin sign. I knew you’d probably pass out as soon as we got here, but figured it’d help absorb some of the alcohol when you woke up. Water is the best thing for a hangover, but you need something on your stomach too since you puked up what was in there before. Think you can try to eat a little something?”

Mitchell’s stomach growled. He put the water down and nodded. “Crackers. Just crackers.”

Kayden fished out some of the crackers from the plastic sleeve and handed them to Mitchell.

He ate a couple before having to stop and drink some more. Dry crackers didn’t make his hydrating efforts easy.

“Here. I grabbed some ibuprofen from your kitchen. It’ll help.” Kayden dropped the pills into Mitchell’s hand. He took them and drank a few extra gulps of water.

“I’m hungry, but I don’t think I can stomach boudin. Or eggs.” Mitchell burped and grimaced. “Definitely no eggs.”

“How about a breakfast burrito…minus the eggs? We can get it on the way to work.”

Mitchell groaned and fell back against his pillow. “I totally forgot about work.”

Kayden chuckled. “Not surprised. Getting shitfaced is usually reserved for the weekends.” He patted Mitchell’s thigh. “C’mon. Let’s get you in the shower. It’ll make you feel better.
