New Year's Eve
Chapter 2: Love Drunk
Sara woke up the next morning with the worst hangover she had ever experienced. Surprisingly, there was already a bucket and an ice pad waiting for her. She leaned over the edge of the bed and threw up all of her stomach contents. Then she closed her eyes for several more minutes. When she wasn't able to go back to sleep, she put on a robe, got up and walked to her kitchen. She walked down the small hallway of her apartment and the smell of fresh coffee brewing filled the air. Confused she walked in the kitchen and saw a shirtless man in nothing but his boxers making breakfast.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?" Sara screamed at the top of her lungs.
Nick quickly turned around and put his hands up in the air "Sorry I was just making you something to eat"
Sara's heart rate slowly returned to normal, when she realized that it was only Nick.
"Nick, why are you standing in my house, near naked making me breakfast?" Sara asked taking a seat at the small table.
"You forgot about last night?" Nick asked setting a cup of coffee and a plate of pancakes in front of her.
"Thank you and yes, what happened?" Sara asked
Nick turned a bright crimson, "Well me and you…did the um, nasty"
Sara snapped her head up then instantly regretted it when she swore she felt her brain bounce around her skull. "What?"
"Well, you were beggin' for it" Nick said in defense than instantly regretted it. Despite her flaws, Sara was an astonishing woman.
But instead of getting mad, Sara chuckled while the memories came flooding back to her in a blur. "The crazy things I do when I get drunk" she looked up at Nick "no offense"
"None taken"
Sara let of a sigh of disappointment "What am I doing with my life?" she asked herself while pouring half the bottle of syrup on her pancakes.
"Everyone makes mistakes Sara" Nick said taking a seat across from her, and eating his meal.
"I know Nick" Sara said handing him the syrup "but everything I do always seems to go wrong"
"You'll get through" Nick said "you're not the only person who had a one night stand"
"I'm glad it was with you Nicky" Sara smiled
Nick didn't know what to say.
Then Sara began to regret what she said "Oh… um Nick… I didn't mean to make you um uncomfortable…"
Nick cut her off "No no no, I'm glad it was with you too, I've always sorta felt this connection with you"
"Really?" Sara softly asked and smiled
"Yeah"
"Then maybe we should make it official"
Nick looked up at her "Maybe we should" Nick got up from the table, put his hand out, Sara grabbed it, he pulled her up and passionately made out with her. And suddenly they were back at square one, getting dragged back to the bedroom and having more unprotected sex.
