the hell happened to you?” she asks, and Rocky glances up from her plate and gives me a curious once-over.
“I had a bit of a night,” I say through a sigh and sit down beside my sister. “And I’m sorry for being so late.”
“A bit of a night?” Billie questions with an amused grin. “Sis, you look like you got dressed in the dark. Seriously, what in the hell are you wearing? I mean, I get the whole dress casual thing, but this is taking it to another level.”
“And you have a grocery bag as a purse,” Rocky adds through a laugh. “What is happening right now?”
So much for being hopeful that I could get through this lunch without delving into last night’s shenanigans…
“Well…it’s a long story, and if you don’t mind, I’m going to order myself some food and try to act like I’m not wearing someone else’s underwear.”
“What the heck?” Billie bursts into shocked laughter. “Someone else’s underwear? Birdie, you’re going to have to give a little more detail than that.”
Rocky giggles. “Yeah, I’m with Billie. Tell us what in the hell is going on with you.”
I sigh again, and thankfully, a nice waiter with a friendly smile steps up to our booth to take my order. I take my sweet time, asking him several questions about the menu, before my impatient sister stops the madness.
“Yeah, okay, that’s about enough of this.” She steals my menu from my hands and hands it back to the waiter. “She’ll have a cheeseburger and fries and a Coke to drink.”
“Hey now, what if that’s not what I want?”
“I guess you’ll just have to find a way to enjoy it.” Billie rolls her eyes and smiles at the waiter. “That’s definitely what she wants. Thank you.”
The waiter stands there for an awkward moment, glancing between me and my sister.
Poor guy. He doesn’t deserve to be in this cross fire.
“Are you sure that’s…?” he starts to question, and I nod.
“Yep. I’ll have a cheeseburger. Fries. And a Coke.” I put him out of his uncomfortable misery. “Thank you.”
Eventually, the waiter leaves our table to put in my order, and Billie doesn’t waste any time.
“Spill it, sister,” she says and takes a sip from her water.
“Ugh.” I groan. “It’s embarrassing.”
“Yeah.” Rocky giggles. “That’s more than apparent, honey.”
“Are we dealing with a walk of shame situation right now?” Billie asks, her eyes brightening with each word.
“Slow your excited roll. I didn’t have sex last night.”
My sister narrows her eyes. “Then what in the hell happened?”
“Well, prepare yourselves, because I’m about to take you on quite the freaking ride…” I pause, and Billie waves her hand impatiently.
“Stop dragging this out and tell us, for fuck’s sake.”
So, I do.
I tell them all the gory details about my night.
The pot brownie.
Andrew taking me home because my accidental high had turned me into a liability.
Waking up naked in his bed.
The fact that I’m wearing his freaking underwear and that he’s the one who dropped me off.
I tell them everything, and by the time I finish, both my sister and Rocky are just sitting there, staring at me in shock.
“This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard in my whole life,” Billie mutters.
“Tell me about it.” I snort. “When I woke up this morning completely naked and in a bed I didn’t recognize, I thought I was going to have a stroke.”
“Do you remember anything from last night?” Rocky asks, and I shrug.
“Not a whole lot, but the memories are slowly starting to come back to me.”
“Wow.” Billie shakes her head. “Color me impressed.”
I tilt my head to the side. “Impressed? By your sister going on an accidental bender and being a raging lunatic?”
“Nope.” She shakes her head again. “Impressed that Andrew Watson was such a fucking gentleman.”
I start to open my mouth to refute her gentleman claim, but then I quickly realize it’s pretty hard to deny it. I mean, he legitimately took care of me last night. Hell, even this morning.
I’d have to be a total bitch not to acknowledge his kindness.
The waiter drops my burger and fries and Coke off at the table, and I don’t hesitate to dive right in. Apparently, champagne/pot hangovers make you real damn hungry the next day.
But I only get two bites into my burger before I notice that Rocky is looking at me with a funny look on her face.
“What?”
“Nothing.” That funny look turns full-on smile, and I narrow my eyes.
