My limbs felt heavy and an aching feeling coursed through my entire body, not to mention my throbbing head and queazy stomach. I groggily sat up and rubbed my eyes, and that just made everything worse as the throbbing in my head seemed to pound against my skull, so I scrunched my eyes shut as tight as they could go and held my head in my hands.

After a few minutes of composing myself and waiting for the dizzy feeling to leave, I slowly opened my eyes to see a sound asleep Jack engulfed in the blanket with a small smile on his face. His hair was sticking out in all directions on the fluffy white pillow and he looked so adorable, I couldn't help but smile at the sight as I tucked a strand of hair behind his ear. He turned his head as he rolled on to his other side, and for a moment I thought I woke him up, but he carried on softly snoring and I hopped to my feet and left him to sleep whilst I ventured to the kitchen to get painkillers.

Before I did that though, I flattened out my bed hair in the mirror by his wardrobe and ate a mint to get rid of my lovely morning breath. I got half way down the steps when my stomach churned and my breathing became irregular and choppy, I had to get to the bathroom, and fast. Dodging the few passed out bodies in the hall I darted for the toilet and all of last nights drinks came flooding back out as it burnt my throat. After I was sure I was done, and my stomach was settled, I wiped my mouth with some tissue and flushed it away.

"You said you were gonna wake me." A familiar voice chuckled softly from behind me.

I smiled to myself and wiped my tear stained face as I turned to faced him. "I would've felt bad," I shrugged.

Jack rolled his eyes and stepped into the bathroom to give me a hug and kiss my hair. "How you feeling now?"

"Well, I'm never drinking again," I laughed quietly as I pulled away.

"Yeah, you can't control yourself when you're drunk," he smirked pulling away and grabbing his toothbrush from the bathroom cabinet in front of us.

I flinched slightly as I thought back to last nights events. I tried to play it off as I started to brush my own teeth and started humming. Jack bumped his hip against mine and when I looked at him he had the lovely mixture of saliva and toothpaste dribbling down his chin which I giggled at. I spat out the contents into the sink, Jack doing the same as I turned the water on and washed it away.

"So what d'ya wanna to today, Princess?" He asked as he wiped his mouth with a hand towel.

"Sleep forever?" I answered sarcastically, although Jack seemed to take it literally and he picked me up bridal style, walked back to his room and led me on the bed before gently tucking me in.

"Don't fall asleep just yet," he kissed my forehead and jogged downstairs.

It seemed like forever with this hangover, but Jack came back with a glass of water and handed me some Advil which I eagerly swallowed.

"Thank you," I said putting the glass on the bedside table as he climbed in bed next to me and pulled me closer so that my head was on his chest and his arm around my shoulders. "M'sorry."

"For what?" He asked pushing my bangs out of my eyes and propping himself up slightly to look me in the eyes.

I felt my face instantly heat up as I relived the moments in my mind, "L-last night." He started to gently shake and I soon realised he was laughing. "Hey I'm being serious!"

"I know I know," he sighed trying to calm himself down, "you're just very touchy when you're drinking, it's different."

"I feel so stupid!" I groaned, rolling out of his grasp and on to my front.

"No it's okay, it's fine," he reassured me as he shifted closer and wrapped an arm around my waist whilst placing a quick kiss on my neck. "Wanna talk about it?"

"What do you mean?" I muffled into the pillow. I knew what he meant though, it was just really embarrassing.

"Lex, you know..."

I rolled over again so we were now face to face. "Yeah, I just," I sighed, trying to think of how to word things, "I don't know really, I didn't mean for that to happen, well I did, kinda...I wanted to give myself to you but I don't know I guess I didn't have the confidence to say it sober, and then you rejected me and I felt humiliated and I didn't want you to push me away but I'm glad you did so now we can maybe perhaps do it the right way and I really want that because I love you and I-" my eyes widened again as I realised what I just said and I mentally face palmed myself.

Jack was staring back at me, a surprised expression covering his face, and before I got the chance to cover my tracks and change the subject, his lips were on mine.
