She awoke to her head pounding. She sat up slowly and held her head. Why in the world did I drink so much? She decided to get up and get some coffee and aspirin.
"Is someone a little hung over?" Jack said as he walked over handing Joey a cup of coffee.
"Thanks Jack." She answered as she sat and took a sip of the coffee. "How is that I am over here, feeling like a brick wall has hit me. You on the other hand don't seem to be suffering any of the symptoms of a hangover."
"Lets just say I have far more experience in handling alcohol than you. Joey how many times in the last year have you actually allowed yourself to get drunk, maybe twice. Plus I have learned what to drink and how much. Those shots last night aren't helping you today."
"Smartass." She murmured. "Where's Jen?"
"She went out to get a few things for your big day." Jack sat next to Joey at the table.
"You guys promised no party's till next week, one party for the three of us."
"Joey, we didn't invite half the population of Boston. Just thought we would cook dinner for everyone coming in today, calm down. Now go eat something, it will make you feel better."
"It feels like a wrecking crew moved inside my skull, I think I'm going to take a shower first. Thanks Jack." She leans over and kisses Jack on the cheek.
The phone rings and Joey winces at the sound of the ringing. Jack runs over to pick the phone up.
"Hello........Hi Andie, everything ok..............No way, where did you find him?...........I don't think it would be a problem...................Yeah, you're right......Are you going to meet us here and follow us over?..........Okay, Joey needs to be there by 12:30, commencement starts at 1pm........Ok, great I'll see you then.......Bye."
Jack hangs up the phone and grins.
"What's up Jack? I know that look, you're up to something."
"Nope, not this time, Andie is bringing a date though. Is that okay?"
"I guess so. So have we met this guy before?"
"I'm pretty sure you'll recognize him, now get off to the showers, I'll make you some toast."
"Okay, Jack you better not be up to something." Joey said as she walked upstairs.
Jack waited for her to be out of sight and smiled with astonishment.
