What Comes Around
Chapter 6
I shuffled into the kitchen and opened the fridge, this was when I noticed that at some point I had taken off my shirt, shoes, and my right sock. Why the right one? We may never know. "Jus' one egg?" I asked as loudly as I could without hurting my head.
"Just one." She answered quietly. I hadn't even heard her come in but she put a hand out and found the counter, "Just set them in front of me."
I stared at her as she stood in my kitchen trusting me to actually do what she asked me to. "Alrigh'." I took an egg out of the fridge and set it on the counter, opening a cupboard overhead and taking out a shot glass, setting it there too. "Tums ok?" She nodded and I found a roll on top of the fridge. "How's alldis gonna make my hangover go away?" I noticed that I was slurring some words and blinked a few times. I needed whatever she was making worse then I thought.
"It's an old family thing." She said, holding out a hand as she touched what had been set out for her. "Salt and pepper?"
"Oh, Righ'…" I walked to the table and grabbed them for her, the walking almost made me sick. When I handed them to her she set them down and began to work, cracking the egg over the glass. Without hesitation she dropped one of the Tums in and then picked up the salt shaker, "Salt or pepper?" She asked.
"Sal'." I said, watching as she shook it over the glass a few times and then picked up the pepper, repeating the process.
When she had finished she swirled the glass a few times and held it out toward me. "Plug your nose, tilt your head back and swallow, don't drink it, just swallow."
I took the glass, glanced at her reassuring smile and did as I was told. I leaned my head back, pinched my nose, and let the gunk run down my throat, swallowing before I gagged it up. "Wha' de hell was da' mon ami?" I asked as I set the glass down.
"That's the way to get rid of a hangover." She said with a grin. "Where can I go to get some sleep around here?" She asked, looking at me as I tried not to gag and grinning innocently.
