The drive home is fuzzy. I overdrank and because I didn’t have a ride home and knew I was going to have to rideshare; I went all-in. I’m wasted. So wasted that I have the driver take me to Hae-in’s hotel. I know I look like death chilled over, but I don’t care. I just need to sleep. The world is tilted. Too much for me to handle right now.
“Where’s the desk? Yah, there right there.” I’m barely standing when I make it to the front desk. “Give meh a woom.”
“Excuse me, ma’am, but could you repeat that?”
“Give meh a woom, pulease,”
Why are there like five people trying to ask me to repeat myself? This s**t is crazy, and my words, hell, I can’t even understand what I’m saying. Maybe I should try writing it down so it’s clear.
“Ma’am, I think you came to the wrong hotel.”
“How. I was hearwah before. Yo boss let meh stay here just last night.”
The lady at the desk starts to say something, but I can’t exactly hear what it is she’s trying to tell me. She’s doing it with a smile on her face. Damn, she’s so nice. I wish I could be that nice.
“Huh?”
Something warm surrounds me. I lift my head and come face-to-face with a pair of kind eyes and a warm smile. Those eyes of his are deceiving, and his tongue. Oh, it’s clever. Weaves a tale, even the devil himself would believe him.
“India, come upstairs, and get some rest.”
“Oh, yuw thank I’m stooped.”
“This isn’t like you, India. Come on and let me get you some warm honey water to ease your stomach.”
I don’t want his damn honey water. No matter how good that sounds. I just need sleep. Lots of sleep.
