I slowly opened one eye and looked around.  The peach coloured walls were spinning around and I shut my eye quickly.   Oh man, what did I do last night?  I put my left foot on the soft carpet and stayed like that until I felt better. After a few minutes, I crawled out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror.  I looked like the Crypt Keeper! My mascara was smudged down my cheeks.  A spitting image of the lead singer of Kiss.  I washed my face and got myself a cup of strong black coffee and fell onto the sofa.

I couldn’t for the life of me remember how I got home last night. I grabbed the phone and punched in Hadley’s nr.  “Hello” a groggy voice answered. 

“What the hell happened last night?” I practically shouted.

“Damn Laken! Not so loud, okay?” she moaned.  “I have the headache from hell”

“Your problem, babes. Now what happened? One moment I was sitting in the garden and now I’m at home.  I can’t remember a damn thing!”

“Good for you.  I’d rather forget last night.” I heard a muffled voice say “Who’s on the phone, sweet?”

I sat up and yelled “You have a man in your bed, don’t you?”

“Uh…no I don’t” she lied.

“You liar! Who is it? It’s Carson, isn’t it?”

“I have to go” and with that she hanged up.

Cow!  At the same moment I heard a knock at the door and got up to answer.

Shay fell into my arms and said “I’m never drinking Tequila again!”

I laughed and let her in.  I fetched her some coffee and handed her my “I’m incredible and I know it mug”

“I reek of Tequila.  This is your entire fault” she accused me.

“Now, Transformer, explain to me how five guys slurping drink from your body is my fault?”

“Oh sod off!” she said and took a sip of the coffee “Don’t pretend to be all innocent”

“What do you mean?”

“AH! You don’t remember, do you? Who is the transformer now?”

I looked at her and said “I’ve got no idea”

“Well, let me remind you.  After snatching me from the slurpers, you disappeared with a complete hunk and we never saw you again”

The last thing I remembered was Landon kissing me.  My body caught fire at the memory.  Like a dream, I started to remember…

                                                ************

Landon ended the magnificent kiss and looked at me with smiling eyes.

“Wow” he whispered and rested his forehead against mine.

“Absolutely” I replied.  The kiss was awesome.  The best one I ever had.  He tasted so sweet and was so gentle with me. 

“You are amazing” he said and stroked my hair.  Goosebumps spread up my arms and my scalp started to tingle.  Man he was fantastic!

“Come home with me” he said and lightly kissed my neck.

“Ok” I replied

Now, don’t get me wrong.  I don’t sleep around.  In fact, I’m rather conservative. But Landon intoxicated me.

He got up and took my hands.  I stood up and followed him to his car.

                                               ************

“Oh no” I groaned.

“What” Shay asked.

“I slept with Landon” I said, horrified.
