Hangover

I woke up kind of lost, my head was dizzy... I had that bitter taste I my mouth again… I opened my eyes, I saw I was in my room, but I had no idea how I ended up there… Flashes from the previous night started to rush back, car, tools, the moon… Was that a dream? It seemed so real... I got up, and I realized I was wearing just a big shirt... and it smelled like him… so it wasn't a dream! It really happened! My God, Dave and I... what did we do?

I took the shirt off, and put on a pajamas, in case I found Matt on the way, and went to the living room. Dave was sitting on the couch, having a Coke and apparently his hangover was 10 times worst than mine. We said an awkward "good morning" and I went to the kitchen to get something to eat, to get that taste off my mouth. On the way back, while I was eating a cold pizza, I was thinking about what to say to him, but I didn't even have to bother, because Matt was coming from his room at the same moment.

"My God, I feel like I was in a coma... sorry, I shouldn't have said that... but my head is so heavy, I don't even know how I got here yesterday…. Hey Dave, you stayed over? I didn't know it..."

At that moment, I pretended to be very interested on the show that was on TV.

"Yeah... I ended up sleeping in your couch..."

Matt left to get a glass of water, and then sat on the couch with us. I can't tell which one was looking worst. After a while, Matt asked "Anne, have you heard Dave's new cd, that it's in my car? We were listening to it on the way home yesterday…" David and I looked at each other for less than a second.

"No, I didn't... you show me later..."

After "breakfast", Dave went home, to take a shower and get some rest. I did the same, and after I got out of the shower, I spent all day long sleeping, after all, I hadn't slept at all last night… When I woke up, it was already dark, and I stayed on the bed thinking about everything that had happened in the garage… even though I was kinda drunk, I could remember every detail, his scent was all over me, even after I had taken a shower… Last night had been the craziest night of my life, and it would definitely be the most unforgettable...

I decided to go to the porch, I had to take some fresh air, it was a beautiful twilight… I got my guitar and sit there. When I was playing The Truth, David showed up and sit next to me, asked me if I was feeling better, I said so… He said he had slept too, and the hangover was gone... he asked if Matt was home, I said he was sleeping again… I decided I wouldn't pretended nothing had happened.

"Thanks for taking me to bed."

"You think I would leave you on that cold floor? When I woke up, you were so cold, and shaking... You could have been sick..."

"Bro... about what happened... I was out of my mind, and so were you... It was a drunk mistake, we shouldn't have done that, it was…"

But he silenced me with a kiss.

"Yeah, we were drunk... but I don't feel it was a mistake... If that's the case, I'm gonna get here drunk more often..."

I decided to get out of my head everything that was worrying me and I surrendered to that moment. I don't know for how long we were there, making out. And this time, we were both very aware of what we were doing...
