Heyo!

Several jabs in my side woke me up from the nightmare I was experiencing.

"Huh," I mumbled as I sat up, looking around to see who woke me.

"It's about time you woke up; I almost thought you were dead." Nagihiko said, and sat next to me. I noticed that I wasn't in the bed but on the small and very uncomfortable loveseat. I looked down at myself. I was still wearing my dress and my shoes and my makeup; needless to say I looked like a mess.

"What time is it?" I yawned and stretched away the pain the small couch gave me.

"It's almost eleven." Nagihiko said, getting off the couch and going over to the king sized bed. I saw that all of his clothing was laid out on the bed in small folded piles.

"What are you doing?" I asked and raised an eyebrow at him.

"My laundry, I didn't realize that I had used up all my good clothes in just a couple of days." He shrugged then went back to folding.

"Okay," I said, pulling myself off of the couch. I was greeted by another wave of pain as I walked to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

The shower did well in washing off all of the yuck I felt from last night, but it was no use in helping me remember what happened last night. I took last night and spread it out into a series of events then sorted it out from there.

I went back to the hotel.

I got ready.

I went to the Hard Rock Café.

I ordered a soda.

I saw Nagihiko.

I saw Avery.

I saw Zach.

My sprite tasted funny.

I went dancing with Zach.

I kissed-

"Oh my goodness," I sputtered, stopping my thoughts. I jumped out of the shower and quickly got dressed, not caring what I looked like or even what my hair looked like. I slipped some shoes on the headed out on the hunt for Zach.

I need to apologize. I thought to myself. I felt bad that I didn't have extraordinary feelings for him, but I still felt the guilty need to apologize for the idiotic mistake I made last night.

It was half an hour after I searched most of the hotel before I found him. He was sitting outside the NBA center sipping on a coffee.

"Hey," I greeted quietly and sat down next to him. He didn't make eye contact but he returned the greeting with a tip of his head.

"About last night," I began and he sighed heavily, as if he didn't really want to hear it. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen and I'm sorry if I offended you at all in any way shape or form." My shoulders fell as he sighed again.

"No," he stopped me. "You don't have to apologize, I understand. You didn't mean for it to happen, it's alright."

I shook my head at his response. "No, it's not alright, please let me make it up to you." I was halfway prepared to start begging. There was no way in heck I was going to let a stranger have a warped perception of me because of something stupid that shouldn't have happened.

"Make it up to me?" Zach asked, sounding confused.

"How about an apology lunch?" I suggested and Zach raised an eyebrow at me.

"An apology lunch?" he said and I nodded. "So… not a date?"

"Not a date." I confirmed. "Is Monday alright?" I suggested and he waited a few moments then nodded.

He took a long sip from his coffee then stood up. "I'll see you Monday for our not-date apology lunch." He winked at me then walked back in the direction of the hotel.

I wanted to walk back to the hotel too, but my stomach growled in protest and instead turned me to the direction of rows of restaurants. Smells of grilled shrimp, steak and fried fish blew in my direction, calling my name.

As I walked over to get something to eat, my mind wandered off and thought about Zach. He was still a stranger, but it was becoming more and more pleasant to spend time with him, even if bad things happened.

This is short, I know, I apologize.

Review please!

This just in: I don't feel very well and I can't find the energy to complete the sixth chapter of this set, so that will be tomorrow. I am sorry.
