I wake up slowly and painfully, very painfully. My head feels like it got hit with a baseball bat a few times, and just thinking about that makes my brain hurt even more. I don’t move, not even my eyelids because I know every little thing is only going to intensify the pain.

I’m never drinking again.

Of course, I’ve said that many times before. How is it that you always forget how bad this hurts the next time someone offers you a drink?

Even with my eyes closed, I know it’s daytime because I hear birds chirping outside. Be quiet, stupid birds.

Ignoring the wildlife and the rest of the outside world, I try to go back to sleep. Willing myself back into a dreamless sleep where the throbbing behind my eyes can’t reach me.

“Ugh,” someone groans next to me. It takes me a moment before realization settles in. Someone groaned next to me.

My eyes fly open, and I ignore the pain that comes with that. Despite the fact that I feel like someone just jammed a meat fork into my ear canal, I sit up straight. I scan the mattress next to me and realize that, indeed, someone is in bed with me. That someone being Jonas.

A scream lodges in my throat, the only thing stopping me from whaling like a banshee is knowing that everyone in the house would come to check to see what’s wrong.

Jonas turns to face me, his hair sits in a disheveled mop on his head, and his eyes are barely open. My gaze trails down his bare chest, and only then do I realize that he might be naked under that blanket. I scoot a few inches away from him, the soft comforter rubbing against my naked skin… my naked skin?

“Oh, hell, no!” I yell, grabbing the blanket and clutching it to my chest. “Why am I naked? Oh, god… did I... did we?”

Jonas props himself up on his elbow, completely unfazed by the situation. His lips tuck up into a sly grin. “What do you think we did?”

I try to rack my brain, what the hell did we do? My mind is so hazy, I only recall small bits and pieces from last night. Like a thousand-piece puzzle, I try to organize all the pieces, trying to see the big picture. I remember drinking, singing Christmas songs, some more drinking, and then… my grandma losing her dentures? The last thing I remember is dancing and then… nothing.

“I don’t remember. Are you naked?” I carefully ask.

“Why don’t you take a peek under the blanket and find out for yourself?”

“Ugh, you’re unbelievable!” Without looking over to him, I get up, pulling the blanket covering us off the bed as I go. Wrapping it around me, I dash to the bathroom. Slamming the door behind me, I pace across the small bathroom floor and try to recall the events from the night before.

Shit! Did we? No. No! I would definitely remember that. Right?

I drop the blanket to the floor and lower my hand between my thighs.
