Chapter 47

My head was throbbing loudly after last night. The vile taste of alcohol still lingered at the back of my throat and my lips were dried out due to the dehydration I felt. The music from last night was still booming in my ears, causing me to groan loudly as I stretched on the bed.

A loud snore snapped me out of my recollection, turning my gaze to a body beside me. Terrence was still asleep, his entire body covered by the duvet. I looked at the time on the clock beside me, my mind slowly registering the digits displayed on it.

9:47 am.

I sat up on the bed, slightly agitated by the fact that it was a new day. I staggered to the bathroom, rubbing my eyes aggressively, almost plucking them from their sockets. I turned on the faucet and sat on the toilet, watching as the bathtub filled with water.

Hot showers and coffee were the answers to all my problems on most days, and today they were a necessity. It was Sunday, which meant that we could stay in all day and have a lazy day together.
