Chapter 18: The next morning
John woke up very confused the next morning. He was in a strange room, with a woman asleep beside him.
"What the…" his voice trailed off. Then it hit him. He had stayed with Ardelia last night, and had made supper for her and comforted her when she had cried.
"I had waaaaay too much wine last night." John said to himself, smiling as Delia stirred beside him.
He laid back down, facing her, and put his hand on her shoulder. Ardelia opened her eyes slowly and looked at John. She smiled at him and said, "You have a hang over too?"
"Sure do. That was some whine, hey?" John whispered, near giggles.
"I'd offer you a Tylenol, but they all went into the toilet," Delia chuckled, not fully realizing what she was saying. She was still preoccupied with John, admiring him.
"All I need is you to make me feel better," John whispered as he leaned over and kissed Ardelia. "What more could I ask for?"
Hearing those words made Ardelia flush pink, "I have no clue, J.J., no clue at all…"
There was a long silence. It was a comforting silence though. Neither of them knew what to say, simply a look spoke the world. Breaking the silence was a phone call, and the ring was rather loud in their intoxicated heads.
"Hello?" Ardelia answered the telephone.
"Hi is John there?" Came a rough voice.
"Why?" Delia looked at John, telling him silently who was on the other end.
John took the phone and held it up to his ear to hear Gus finishing his sentence, "…to talk to him, that's why. Now let me talk to him."
Gus had finally lost his temper. Unfortunately. "Hello?" John asked, as if he hadn't heard Gus yelling at Ardelia. Delia was watching him with an expressionless face, which was a rather comical expression in itself.
"John, we've got a problem," Gus spoke quietly into the phone, "A very big problem…"
