AN-This is a little weird one that came to me while sat in the train station in Leeds. I was on Facebook and a picture popped up with a caption above it, causing me to start laughing and the idea for this story was born. What probably didn't help was the fact I had MeredithBrody/BonesBird aka Shin sat next to me, who encouraged me to write this. So here we go, it is a two shot as I got a little carried away. Enjoy x
"When your bae is hungover and you stop to take care of them."
As Dwayne Pride sat in the booth at the bar he wasn't actually sure what made him agree to come. He never normally joined in these little bar trips as it always ended up badly for at least one of his team. At that moment it honestly looked like it was going the same way, but this time he would be joining the end badly list. He was sat with his side up against the wall for support as he looked around at the other members of the party.
Opposite him was none other than Chris Lasalle, probably the reason he was here. No doubt it was Chris's idea to come out drinking and it had ended with him being brought along. Next to Chris was Addie Watkins, she was back in town for a week on Liberty so had hooked up with them all. Sat on a stool at the end of the table was Sonja Percy, the latest addition to their office and drinking team. He knew she was a tough cookie and would no doubt be one of the few still standing at the end of the night. The last member of the group was in the process of making her way back from the bar, a tray full of drinks in both hands. Seeing her carrying the tray he hoped there were only four drinks on the tray or at least something that was non-alcoholic for him.
As she made it back to the table she put the tray on it and slid in the booth next to him. He scanned the tray and saw there were five drinks on it, and as he expected, they were all alcoholic. Passing the bottles of beers to Addie and Percy, she passed Chris his hurricane and took her hurricane and his whiskey off the tray. Placing the drinks on the table, she picked the tray up and leaned over to place it on the next table. The problem being the alcohol in her system was starting to take effect and as she leaned over she sort of feel sideways as well. Between Percy putting her hand up and Pride reaching out and grabbing her shirt they managed to keep her upright.
When she was sat upright again she burst out laughing causing everyone at the table to laugh. When the laughing slowly eased off everyone sat talking about totally random stuff again, just like they had done all night. Due to the fact his normal brain was now packing it cases and moving out, leaving the very drunk part of his brain in charge. Reaching across the table he picked up the shot glass and took a drink, the burning effects now long gone. He watched and joined in as the others laughed and joked and carried on having fun, just as his friends always did. He looked at his watch and was a little unsure which set of pointers he was supposed to be looking at so he gave up. He heard his name and looked at the woman sitting next to him. No matter how much he had to drink she was a sight for sore eyes. Focusing his gaze on her face he smiled and moved a little closer to her.
"Hey baby, have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" Resting his head on her shoulder he cuddled up to her side.
Looking down at the head currently settled on her shoulder she couldn't help smile. Normally King didn't join them when they went out on a drinking binge but he had agreed to due to the fact that Addie was joining them. Chris had managed to arrange a night out for them all together and he had said he would join them for a catch-up. Now looking at him maybe they should have it took it easy with him. He wasn't a big drinker to start with, yet tonight he must have drunk a full bottle of whiskey. For him to do a publicly spoken declaration of love she knew he was drunk. For him to slump to his side and cuddle into her he was very much passed it. Looking at her watch she saw it was a little gone 23:30, probably a good time to go home.
Looking around at their friends and Colleagues she saw they were just about finished so waited for them to finish before she spoke.
"Since are normal lift home is more intoxicated than us," looking at King "we need to call a cab or a couple of cabs." Watching as everyone went to stand up from the table.
They all seemed to have a slight problem staying upright as they stood up, but they all managed to do it. As Merri moved she felt King slowly slipping as his support was moved away. Looking around at her friends she hoped one of them would offer her a hand to get their boss up and standing. Seeing the problem she was having it was Chris who stepped up. Between the two of them they managed to haul King out the booth and get him standing up, be it resting on her as he stood up. He had slid his arm around her waist and had a grip on her to keep himself up so it was all good. Making their way to the door Chris had his phone out and was calling for two cabs.
As they got to the doors and the fresh air circulated around them she felt King starting to slip. Managing to slot her arm further around his waist she got him more upright until she got him up against the bar wall to wait for the cab. She silently hoped that the taxi for them arrived first so she could get the others to help him into it. As if her prey was answered, a cab pulled up and the driver called her name. Looking at Chris she looked at King and then the cab, hoping he took the hint. She was lucky he did as he came over and help get King standing and placed in the back seat of the cab. Getting in beside him she gave the driver her full address and as the cab pulled away, felt King drop back over to her side a she settled against her.
"I love you Merri, you know that right. I feel like I never tell you enough and I really should because I do love you. You gave me a second chance to be happy and you're just amazing." King slurred out as Merri slotted her arm around his shoulder.
"I know you do and I love you too. How about we get you home and up to bed so you can sleep some of this alcohol off." Kissing his temple as she looked at him.
She had never seen him this drunk before and it was kind of weird. He was always the one picking her up from club or pub after a night out with Chris and his friends. Even a girly night out with a couple of the friends had ended in her being picked up. It was a little distributing how many nights out ended in her being drunk and having to get King to pick her up. Now though, as she ran her fingers through his hair and stroked his temple she got to see why King never got drunk. He was a sloppy drunk, a fall asleep drunk, someone who should only get drunk in the house as they could embarrass themselves drunk. She knew that both Chris and Percy would enjoy reminding him of his love declaration that he had made when he called her beautiful. He would take it on the chin and smile but she knew him better and he would bide his time, the time would come for him to gain revenge for it if they did.
Finally they pulled up at her house and she paid the cab driver. Getting King to sit up, she got out the cab and came around to the other side to get him out. It took some doing, and a lot of pushing and shoving until she finally had him out the car and propped up against her side. Making her way up to the house she managed to dig around in her bag for her keys at the same time as keeping King stood upright. When she had the door open and had managed to stagger then both inside, she kicked the door shut, which nearly made her fall due to the fact two people were sharing one leg to stand on. Making her way through the house, she got to the foot of the stairs and looked at King. There was no way she was getting him up them stairs.
"Come on mister, couch for you tonight. I have no energy left to get your ass up them stairs." Shuffling them both back to the lounge.
When she got them both to the couch, she turned so both there backs were to the couch. Moving them both to sit down she felt them slump as the dropped down. Even though King was still very drunk he snuggled up as soon as he was sat down, letting his hand snake up under the front of her shirt. Looking down as she felt his hand move under her shirt she waited to see how far it was going, feeling it come to rest on her right breast. Even drunk he had a thing for holding a breast in his hand as he slept. He did it at least once a night, every night when he slept over. She had asked him about it and he claimed to have no knowledge of it. His only defence was he must love her breasts that's much he needed to hold them even when he slept.
As she looked down at him she saw he was now practically draped over her as he held her breast and drooled on her shoulder. Now the amount of alcohol she had consumed was taking its effect on her and she was getting sleepy. Sleeping in clothes was not wise and she need the bathroom so she decided it would be wise to get them both changed. Nudging King a little she felt him move enough to let her slip out from under him as she pushed him to sit back upright. Getting up she giggled a little at how tipsy she still was. When she got to her full height she wobbled and nearly fell back down on the couch.
Steadying herself she slowly made her way into hallway and stopped at the foot of the stairs. Taking hold of the handrail she took each step one at time, using the handrail to haul herself up. Making it to the top she moved towards the bathroom first, way to much drinking showed her that her bladder was not as good at waiting as it was in her teens. After using the bathroom she went straight to the bedroom and grabbed a couple of the blankets and pillows of the bed. Taking them to the top of the stairs she threw them to to the bottom, knowing if she fell she had a soft landing but also it was easier to navigate the stairs with both hands. Making her way to the bottom of the stairs she went to pick the blankets and pillows up and somehow ended up falling forward in fits of laughter as she landed on the pillows and blankets.
Picking herself up, she managed to pick the bedding up as well and stagger through to the lounge. Dropping the lot on the piece of couch King had fall sideways on to, she sat down and lifted her feet to remove her shoes. Dropping her shoes on the floor, they made a loud clunk as the heels hit the floor. In her drunken haze she found herself telling them to 'shhhhh' as they were noisy. Taking her shirt off she dropped that with her shoes and along with her bra when she finally managed to unclip it. Lifting her ass up off the couch she somehow wriggled out her jeans leaving her in just her panties. Looking at King it was his turn next.
Instead of getting up she shuffled along the couch and lifted Kings legs one by one on to the couch. Taking his shoes and socks off, they joined the growing pile of clothes and footwear on the floor. Moving up to his belt she managed to undo the zipper and belt and after a lot of tugging and shifting she got his pants off. His shirt was off next leaving him in his boxer shorts and a silly grin on his face. Somewhere along the way he had woke from his drunken stupor and was smiling at her.
"What has got you smiling? You had the equivalent of a full bottle of whiskey so I am surprised you conscious ." Seeing him lift his hand up and reach for her.
"Give me a minute babe, I gotta get these pillows and blankets right then I will lie down." Turning away to pick the pillows up.
Standing up she put the pillows up by Kings head and saw him move to put one under his head. Getting the blankets she threw them over King and then sat back down beside him. As she went to lie down she felt an arm around her back. Looking across at King she saw the dopey grin was back full force as she lay down. She lay down and turned to face him as he attempted to turn on his side to face her. When they were both facing each other she leaned in and placed a kiss to his head before sliding her arm through the gap under his neck.
"Can I snuggle you tonight? I don't feel so good." King mumbled as he tried to move a little closer to her.
"I am not surprised you don't feel good. Come here, let me lie on my back and you can cuddle into me. I have to say you look like you're going to be sick." Moving them both as best as she could until he was using her shoulder and chest as a pillow.
"Don't mention being sick, I am trying to fight that urge." As he closed his half-shut eyes and moved his head so it now rested squarely on her right breast.
"You're not sick enough to use my boobs as a pillow though are you?" Waiting for him to get comfortable before she tucked them both in.
"Go to sleep baby, you will feel better in the morning. Who am I kidding, you will probably feel like crap in the morning but we will see." Closing her eyes as she kissed his temple.
"Love you," King mumbled against her chest as he fell asleep hoping he didn't feel as crap as he expected to when he woke
"Love you back." Letting her eyes drift shut as they fell asleep cuddled up together, hoping King felt better in the morning.
