Drinking and sadness is a recipe for disaster. If only I had thought logically about that last night, I wouldn't be burying my head in a toilet bowl emptying the contents of my stomach with a stranger holding my hair and gently rubbing my back. This is by far the most humiliating thing to happen to me... Correction, second most humiliating right behind good old scumbag boyfriend.
If only humans weren't such emotion driven beings. I thought as I groaned at the discomfort rooted in my stomach. I wish I could take some hangover cure to fix this. But the source of my discomfort was far greater than liquor. "Feeling better?" Asher asks "I don't think it's appropriate to mock me." I retort as I lift my head from the bowl of the toilet "Sorry you have to see me like this, it's beyond unladylike." I couldn't help but apologize for my current state, "Well I didn't get the impression you were much of a lady last night." Asher winks at me not letting me miss his Innuendo.
I sigh remembering only bits and pieces of last night "I mean't what I said last night." Asher says reminding me of his proposal.
"Forgive me, but last night was a blur. I've never been much of a drinker. What did you say last night?" last night I remember bertering with him, the deal was for every kiss I gave him I'd get five drinks in return. I recall laughing with Asher as we spoke about how we ended up there on a Christmas morning, we slowly drifted on to other topics.
"Marrying me of course." I'm immediately pulled from my reminiscing as I'm too stunned from what he'd just said. "Marry you? Are you crazy, I don't even know you! " just yesterday I was about to be engaged to the love of my life and now this stranger wants to marry me. "Well pretend you're going to marry me, we just have to fake an engagement, for a few month's." Asher says, "You're not making the case you think you are." I say scrambling out of the bathroom grabbing my things as I go with Asher hot on my heels. "I need to leave, thanks for the company but you're completely insane and I already have my fair share of insanity in my life." I rush out of the apartment and made my way down to the building exit.
The drive to my soon to be ex boyfriends house was long and dreadful. I kept trying to think of how this will play out, both of our families would be there to watch the drama unfold. I couldn't fight back the tears and the sickening twisting of my stomach as the flashes of him and that woman replayed in my head. By the time we reached the house I was furious, and it's safe to say that Danny was about to learn a very valuable lesson. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' I thought as I barged in through the front door on a mission.
