Together Forever

23. Irrational

Smith:
I woke up with a heavy head, and head wrecking headache.

I made myself sit up in the bed, hand grabbing my forehead in the process.

"Why is it hurting?" I opened my eyes a little only to close them again against the bright sunlight.

I never leave my window open! What happened last night!?

Then it clicked! The challenge, drinking, winning the challenge, but after that what?

Just when I was in a deep thinking state pondering over the after events of last night, door clicked open.

"You are already awake, I see." He said walking towards the bed.

"Here, take it." A pill is there in his outstretched palm. Sliding over the bed I tried standing up, only to hold my head again as sharp pain course through my head!

What the heck!

"Consequences of drinking a whole bottle of spyritu." He sighed.

I just grabbed the pill and gulped it down taking a glass of water from nightstand.

It still feels heavy though.

"Mr. Williams, after I won the challenge did something happen?" I asked in my usual tone.

His already ramrod straight back stiffened some more.
"No! Nothing happened." He blurted out. I am no expert in interpretation of emotions but...does he sound nervous for some reason?

"Are you sure?" My tone skeptical.

"Yes I am." He said, this time with his usual confident voice.
"Except for you to get intoxicated and behaving irrationally nothing happened." He continued.

It was my turn to stiffen.

"Irrationally?" I asked again to confirm. I, Laurel Smith, World's Richest Billonare behaving 'irrationally'? Impossible!

I am always under control, under effect of alcohol or not!

"Yes, irrationally." He threw a cold glare my way. I don't understand his action! Did I do something last night?

"Who made me come to my room?" I asked in doubt. Not doubting my capable self ofcourse! Just trying to be sure if he tried something.

Well even if he did, I would have stopped him. I always am sensible and rational enough to prevent such things.

He didn't say anything for few seconds. It raised questions in my mind and few probabilities started getting stronger.

"Don't look at me like that. You yourself did." He said looking somewhere. I inwardly relaxed a little. I know I am very capable to do things on my own.

Intoxicated or not I would never allow anyone to help me with something!

I simply nodded, and walked towards bathroom to have a shower. I need one. Maybe after that this non- required headache will be gone.

I stepped in and when I glanced at my reflection in mirror, it made me notice something.

Swollen lips!? Why would my lips swell?

Did some insect came through window in the night and bite me on my lip? Must be! That is one of the reason I always keep my window close.

This unreasonable man who calls himself a businessman doesn't even have common sense to close the window at night!

I rolled my eyes inwardly and took a shower.

I stepped out of the shower. It feels a little better now. I got ready wearing my yesterday suit to step down.
