The Lawyer In The Kitchen.

Chapter 11

My jaw dropped open as I saw his head hit the pillow and his eyes were still shut! That sneeze did not wake him?

Enough is enough. I stormed into my bathroom, filled a bucket with water-

'Spalsh!'

Oh.My.God

"How can you sleep though this??" I screamed.

I lifted my hands in despair as I flung the empty bucket on floor.

There are hundreds of solutions for curing hangover but why can't there be manuals for 'how to wake a drunk friend?'

I paced my room helplessly.

Oh God now he is all wet I groaned in despair!

Silly brainless Suvi! Why were you so desperate to wake him?

Yeah subconscious mind, go on, rub it in! Never be of any help to me, just guilt trip me. hmmph.

You deserve it Suvi! He was obviously in so much pain and what do you do? Torture him to wake up!

No not torture! Did I? Come on, it's not that I am trained to wake up drunk people. I did what I have seen heroines do on screen.

And what a big heroine you are. An all-time evergreen drama queen!

Why does our inner voice not come with  a mute button?

All thoughts disappeared as I saw Shishir shiver slightly. Did he? No no probably just breathed heavily.

But what if he is cold? What if he falls sick? Oh no!

What do I do now?

I rushed and took out a blanket and cover him.

But.. his clothes are wet! I closed my eyes groaning as I removed the blanket.

I need to dry his shirt.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Suvi the Einstein, I thought smugly, mentally patting myself on my back as I went to my dresser.

Hair dryer!

Within minutes he will be dry as a bone. Er .. dry completely.

I smiled as I saw the water fumes rise up from his shirt,

Eureka!

Then more fumes, and more. Oh God! Why did I pour so much water? I switched it off quickly as I saw Shishir's face go slightly red.

I groped his shirt. "aaoww" I snatched my hand back. It is hot!

Shit! He will be toasted like this.

Suvi why do you make things so complicated?

He needs to remove the shirt but how? Even an army cannot wake him up right now.

Should I? No of course not Suvi! Are you mad?

He shivered again. How can he when his shirt is so hot? I touched it again. No It is cold now!

Okay Sumo, anyways he is not going to wake up now, so you can do it. In any case you got yourself into this, so you have to fix it.

What will I say once he wakes up?

He was so drunk before collapsing he will easily belive he removed his shirt himself.

I took a deep, very very deep breath and reached out.

Oh hell! No no. shit. How can I ?

I have to but. Close your eyes Suvi, you can do it .

One button.
