***next day***
"Ahh" grunted out Scarlett as she sat up upon her bed, holding her head for it felt as if someone had been beating it with a hammer. Her sight still hazy for her eyes took some time to adjust to her surroundings.
"Finally! Not so sleeping beauty is awake" shouted out Jamie as she walked into the room holding a a glass of full of some unknown crimson substance.
Hearing her best friend's loud statement caused Scarlett's ears to ring for she was quite hungover from the night before hence she placed her hands upon her ears to block out the ringing.
"Oops sorry!" Whispered Jamie, realising her friend still suffered from the aftermath of heavy drinking. "Hear you go, this should help" Jamie continued handing Scarlett the mystery drink.
"What is it" questioned Scarlett whilst looking at it skeptically.
"Don't ask, just drink up." Replied Jamie as she made her way towards the bathroom.
Gulping down the unknown liquid, it had a strong, tangy taste to it; almost like ginger and carrots?
Her taste buds lost in a swirl of different flavours yet not for long. An almost uprooting feeling took over her whole body, Scarlett ran to the bathroom and pushed past her bestie towards the toilet and allowed her insides to flush out.
"Damn. Okay you clearly don't liquor well" said Jamie coming behind her friend to hold her hair back.
"You think??" Replied Scarlett monotonously whilst crouched on her knees. "Why didn't you stop me after the first two" she continued as she held her head, the splitting headache returned.
"Girl would you have listened" said Jamie looking over to Scarlett with them judging brown eyes of hers. "...no" replied Scarlett lifeless-ly as she hung on to the bowl that collected all her mistakes from the night before.
"Though I gotta hand it to ya, drunk you had the courage to prove me right. Pretty boy ain't gay" said Jamie as Scarlett turned around to be face to face with Jamie.
"What.." said Scarlett as she sat on the cool marble tiles of the bathroom floor.
"Like seriously I had to pull you out or you've probably lost any chance with the guy" continued Jamie as she informed Scarlett of her actions from the night before.
Scarlett was embarrassed for she not only proved that she couldn't handle liquor.. she called out a man's sexuality! Also not to mention she spent the whole opening of the hotel at the bar?!? And left before the big speech. They must think of her as a mess, Erik must think of her as a mess. Her mind swarmed with billions of thoughts causing her hangover to just worsen.
Over all the day went on and Jamie dropped Scarlett back at her own place. Her head still pounding from the night before yet once home she seemed to have quite a few messages on her answering machine. A billion of them from her mother.. probably talking about how drunk she got the other night and how 'unethical' it was. Honestly her mother was the last person she wanted to hear from.. she was a drunk herself who entered her fathers life just to make it complete hell. Getting remarried really was one of her fathers greatest mistakes.. oh well they ended up splitting up anyway.
Deleing through her 'mother's' messages one voice caught her by surprise.
"Hey! It's me, Erik. Just wanted to make sure your doing alright. I had fun the other night and... let me know if you want to hangout again? I'd love to take you out." Said a deep yet calming voice. Scarlett felt butterflies as she did as a teen, she hadn't felt this way in ages! A smile creeped onto her face, grabbing her phone to call back yet as she failed the numbers a memory seemed to resurface.
It was that day, that horrid day when she'd come by the hotel. It made no sense to her, what did Jose mean by those words?? A sigh escaped Scarlett, she punched those thoughts aside and made her move.
