Lozza's POV
I woke up to fuzzy feeling in my head, that's all I can do to describe it right now. The room is dark, no sun coming through the window, so I must have more time to stay in bed surely. Fuck, I didn't feel too good. Drinking midweek, definitely requires Becky's hangover shakes if I can stomach them today. I groaned quietly, not wanting to worsen my headache. I felt cold on my bare shoulders, and I realized I was half-naked, just in my bra and knickers, the duvet bunched down my body a little. Why did I take my pajamas off? I need to go pee actually, in fact urgently. I shifted to get up, wincing as the movement sent a fresh stab through my forehead. That's when my foot tapped something behind me in the bed. I turned my head, as slowly as I could, and there was Aimes, curled up next to me, fast asleep. She was actually drooling on my pillow, tucked in the covers nice and snug. What the fuck? Why was she here?
I tried to piece it together, but my brain was hazy--nothing but a blurry mess of our night, studying, drinking, Jess naked and... Oh God, my arse. Flashes of Aimes pinning me down, Jess snapping pics, the very graphic last picture. I didn't remember a thing after that tanning chat, I don't think. How'd I end up like this? My head was killing me, a throbbing ache that drowned out any chance of thinking straight. Once I sleep I'll remember.
I wanted to shake Aimes, demand answers--Why are you in my bed? What the fuck happened?--but I can't imagine she would carefully explain, she would be mad to be woken. At best what'd she say? Probably just laugh and tell me I was a state--cheers, I'd worked that out already. Anyway I really had to pee, what on earth am I doing I better move. I jumped up as it was now or never, my bare feet slapping the cold floor. Fuck, my head pounded with every step, but I couldn't stop. I shut the door quiet-like so nobody in the house woke up, and sat on the loo, letting out a shaky breath as I peed. The relief was instant, but it didn't touch the hangover. Becky is probably in bed with Ben, but who knows. Suddenly I was embarrassed, I've ran to the bathroom in just my underwear, my family could see me any minute. I didn't bother to wash my hands, I needed to get back whilst it was quiet. Back in my room, I stood by the bed, shivering, staring at Aimes in her peaceful sleep. My head screamed for answers, but all I could think was get back into bed, I'll deal with this later. I couldn't face waking her, couldn't face the noise of her laughing or explaining. And my pajamas? I spotted them. As I tried putting the pants on, I nearly fell over, so I left them. I put the top on but left it unbuttoned, as it felt like too much effort. I crawled back under the duvet, pulling it up to my chin, the warmth creeping over me. That's better. Aimes didn't stir, just kept snoring, and I let my eyes close, willing the headache to fuck off. Whatever happened last night, it could wait; right now, sleep was all that mattered.
I don't know how long I slept. I just heard a quiet voice, but I felt like they weren't speaking to me. "Yeah, it was, wasn't it..." I felt like I drifted off again, trying to ignore it like it was a dream. "Yeah, the weekend's nearly here too; can't wait. I'll be wishing the day away. I'll wake her now. Speak to you soon, Becky. Bye." I realized I wasn't dreaming. I turned, it's Aimes, "Oh, you are up, Lozza. Epic night, weren't it."
"What happened?" I asked. Trying to fully open my eyes.
Aimes let out a big yawn before she replied, "We've all had nights like that, Babe. Ya wake up and think, 'fuck me, how did I end up here?' You got us to look after you, though. You have your PJ top on. We took it off last night because you were warm, so do you remember putting it back on?"
"Yeah, I remember that. I erm remember you talking about spray tans and literally I think that's it." I stumbled in response. I sat up on my elbows a little, pulling the duvet up to near my chin.
"Okay let's trace back, you don't remember me and Becky helping you to bed?" I shook my head at Aimes's question. She carried on, "Do you remember saying you are looking forward to the spray tan?"
I definitely don't think I said that, I held my head the hangover had eased, but I was still a little groggy. Becky's milkshakes instead of other alcoholic drinks have helped. Anyway back to the question, "No, I don't remember that at all."
Aimes lay her head sideways on the pillow and was now looking up at me slightly, "Yeah, you said you've been looking at destinations around the world on your phone, although you were so pissed you couldn't actually say the word destinations, but besides that, you said you been looking at these places you been on holiday and checking the current temperatures compared to ours and was wishing you can have that nice break in the sun right now. Just count down them days until Benidorm, Babe. Until then, a good spray tan will make you feel better."
Well, I did say it because it's true I've been doing exactly that in the odd quiet moment I seem to get at the moment. Crisp golden sandy beach, beautiful blue ocean and hot sun shinning down. A nice peaceful bliss.
"Lozza, you listening?" Aimes keeping her voice down, but gave me a poke to stop my day dreaming.
"Sorry, Aimes. What time is it? Don't we need to shift and get ready for college?" I said with some concern.
Aimes stretched her right arm, bringing it under the duvet, it looked like she was scratching her bum. "Nah, still got time for a chat. Becky always rings early in cases like this. She knows if she wakes me up like right when I have too it's shit. Ring me a little earlier then I can have a little bit of time before I move my arse."
Aimes didn't answer me in terms of what time it actually is, but suppose that's okay if we have time. Becky must have stayed in hers, wonder why Aimes stayed here. "Aimes, how come you stayed here? No room in Becky's in the end?"
Aimes waved a tired hand at me, "because you was pissed, Lozza. Thought you was gonna throw up so I looked after you."
"Thanks so much, Aimes. Did I throw up?" I certainly couldn't taste anything bad in my mouth.
Aimes took her right arm out the duvet and slung it around me in a cuddle, "no, you was fine in the end." With a little giggle she then asked, "So, how was your first time sleeping with me?"
I knew she was just kidding; we didn't actually do anything I'd remember. "You hog the covers, but other than that, you passed." Aimes started laughing at my little joke in return. I asked Aimes, "Do you know where my slippers are?" Yes, it didn't seem important, but it just came to me.
"You kicked them off downstairs before me and Becky got you upstairs. They'll be there." She broke the cuddle and sat up, letting the duvet fall slightly, "might need to throw me bra on before I head to Becky's to get changed. Don't want your Dad or brother if they are up getting an eyeful do I?" I noticed as she said this that she was braless in her little vest top. I definitely didn't want her skipping around the house like that. Aimes phone made a noise as did mine which was next to me. Aimes then said, "look at these. Fucking Jess has jumped in their bed for a picture." Turning her screen I seen the picture, an early morning selfie of the three of them giggling away as Jess snapped a selfie, all of them had mugs in their hands. "Come on, let's fire one back." Aimes said to me.
Becky's POV
I was up bright and early. I feel good. What a fun night. Dani was out cold, fair enough--we had plenty of time before college. I grabbed my phone, grinning as I scrolled the group chat. Lozza's arse pics from Aimes attack were funny as fuck. I'd rung Aimes earlier, knowing she likes a little bit of time rather than a sudden drag out of bed. I'll go check on Jess. I threw on some shorts and a old t-shirt, giving my arse a scratch I headed to the spare room. Jess, of course sprawled out on the bed. "Jess, wakey wakey." Giving her a good nudge.
"Fuck, gonna take it easy at college today, Becky." She opened her eyes, "rrr, Becky, no brew?"
I laughed, "sorry, Babe. I'll go do you one. Do us a favour. Get up and wake Dani. I'll sort out the teas."
