Queen of the Underworld

10

I woke up to the loud and steady banging noise. I could feel and hear my heartbeat pounding in my head, making me wince in pain each time.

I looked around and noticed I was on my bed, and still in last nights clothes. I must have knocked out because I don't remember getting here.

I got up, feeling like complete shit because of the extreme hangover I was currently experiencing. My mouth tasted like a mix of alcohol and bad decisions, and my body felt that way too.

I started taking off my clothes, hearing that luxurious tub call my name. I began filling it with water and looked for soap. I couldn't love the place any more when I saw bubble soaps and bath bombs. I really just wanted to ease this terrible pain I had all over my body.

I have to stop drinking this much. I was gonna end up dead one day.

As I got into my bubbly pink water I couldn't help but think of last night.

I, throughout time, have developed the ability to not forget my memory of the night before. Its truly a talent that I admire about myself.

I remembered Noah, that beautiful stranger from yesterday. God, was he hot. I don't know how I got so lucky but jeez, he was a major score.

I also remembered the little death game with the shots. If I recall correctly, I ended up winning. Veronica gave up after the third shot because she was too drunk. Gabriel and Nicolas got up to shot seven before almost throwing up. Mateo and I battled until he couldn't bring himself to go past shot number nine. I forced myself to drink number ten, which made my body hate me even more.

I stayed in the tub for about an hour before I decided to get out since the water was getting cold. I walked to the closet and picked up some cute blouse from the ones I bought with Veronica, and a pair of shorts.

My head was still throbbing, so I went downstairs for water.

"Woah there daredevil. You look like shit." Gabriel smirked, to which I responded with the middle finger. He let out a laugh and patted the space next to him.

"Kiara, get her some water please," Kiara nodded and turned around.

"Oh no, I can get it myself. Don't worry" I began to stand up but almost fell over on the way.

She laughed and kept walking towards the kitchen.

Moments after both Mateo and Veronica walked in and sat down in the couch in front of us.

Mateo had messy hair and was too pale for his own good. Veronica had a messy bun and looked worn out. The weird thing is that they acted happy.

"So, now that almost all of us are gathered here today, cash or check?" I smiled waiting for them to realize what I was talking about.

They looked confused and it made me laugh.

"I won. You owe me. So, cash or check?"

They rolled their eyes.

"I'll give you mine when I can."

"Same here."

Kiara came in with a cart of food. There was toast and strawberries and a lot of food.

My eyes widened when I saw her come in.

"How? You left for like ten minutes!"

She giggled, "I had help."

I nodded as she handed me a glass of water. I drank it completely and dug into the food.

We spent around half an hour eating and talking about last night. When was finished I got up.
