Dark affairs

Beep, beep, beep.....
Beep, beep, beep...

"Oh my god, what is this noise, can you stop that, please kill me now" I mumble hoarsely into the pillow that I put my head under to shield me from this horrible sound.

"It's your alarm, Mickey, I guess it's time for you to get up and go to work." I hear Jack say with a taunting singsong voice.

I feel like a zombie, actually no, I have no idea how a zombie feels, I feel like someone shot me in the head... through the eyes... the idea to go to work today sounds so ridiculous that I can only snort, somehow that sends saliva into my air pipe and I end up in a coughing fit, which makes my head explode. I groan and roll around in bed helplessly.

Jack pulls me gently up to a sitting position and holds out a glass of water and three pills to me.
He is already dressed and pushes the hair from my face with his free hand.

"Three?" I question when I eye the pills suspiciously "isn't that a bit much?"

He chuckles humourlessly. "Not in the state you were in, believe me. It's gonna make you feel better."

I take the pills and swallow them one by one with the water.

"I feel absolutely horrible what happened yesterday? How much did I drink? My eyes are hurting, my neck is hurting...." I trail off too exhausted to further describe my agony.

"We think you might have had some drug given to you, you acted really crazy, once we got home."Jack informs.

"What? No! How? Why?" I'm confused but add after a moment "..maybe you're right, this doesn't feel like a normal hangover."

I get up and cautiously walk to the door. I'm a bit woozy but if I move gingerly at least my head doesn't hurt as much.

I open the bedroom door looking back to talk to Jack when I slam into Alex who was just about to enter. It sends us tumbling to the floor and I hold my head in pain.

"Ow, Alex, look where you're going, you're killing me here, man."

He just grins, "ah I see, you're back from the dead. Wait until I tell you what you did last night, you'll gonna be mortified." This man is merciless.

I hide my face behind my hands. "Oh no, really ? Oh my god, what did I do?" I peek at him through my fingers.

He just chuckles and gets up from the floor, dusts off his pants and holds out his hand to help me get up. "Don't worry Mickey, We will never let you live that down."

I just punch his arm but he doesn't even care cause I'm too weak right now to do much harm.

So I just crumble into a seat in the kitchen. "I can't go to work today." I whine "I can't even think straight." I hang my head and stare at the table drowsily.

"Don't worry babe" Jack comes in and lifts me up to sit on his lap, gently stroking my back.

Alex chuckles while putting out a bowl of cereal for me.

"Alex here," Jack shoots him a pointed look." Will call into work for you and then we will go out into the hills and spend the day outdoors, I think you'll need lots of fresh air and sunshine. You look horrible."

"Wow, thank you." I answer sarcastically "then my looks match how I feel." I start to slowly spoon up my breakfast.

Alex whines. "Why do I have to call?" But Jack silences him with an unamused face and Alex grabs the phone and leaves the room grumbling under his breath.

"Oh my god," I suddenly remember and drop the spoon into the bowl to splash milk everywhere.
" I forgot about Max." I feel so bad, he has been alone all night.

"Don't worry, Alex picked him up this morning, he is sleeping on the couch as far as I know." Jack ensures me.

I jump off his lap and run or attempt to the living room and grab my little pup and nuzzle into his sleepy face. Alex has just hung up and I rush over to him.

"Thank you so much Alex, I am a horrible person, for just forgetting about my dog. "I hug him with my free arm and peck his lips.

"Good thing he wasn't here last night, he might have been scarred for life seeing you crawling on all fours in your underwear practically demanding a threesome."

"I did what?" I cringe, I knew he wouldn't let that go. "Oh my Alex, I'm so sorry, I hope I didn't make you guys too uncomfortable." I look up at him.

"Oh it was alright," he replies nonchalantly "until you grabbed my junk, of course." He adds giggling.

"Oh, no, please." I groan letting my head fall against his chest absolutely devastated. "I-I'm sorry." I mumble.

"Hey, don't worry." He hugs me. "I might definitely take you up on your offer some other time." He whispers snickering.

I roll my eyes and walk back to Jack still clutching Max to my chest.

"Jack, I'm so sorry, Alex just told me what I did last night. I feel horrible." I just let myself collapse against him and he grabs me by my waist.

"Hey, baby, it's okay, it wasn't your fault, we ditched you for a while instead of looking out for you, so actually we're to blame. It would have been funny if we wouldn't have been so turned on by you, because, damn girl, you are one sexy bitch." He mumbles the last part in my ear and squeezes me tightly. "It was really hard to keep our dicks in our pants. And the dreams I had last night didn't help at all."

I have to giggle although I am blushing like crazy. I mean I'm not shy when it comes to sex but I would have never been so blunt about it if I was sober.

Jack is an angel and tries to make me feel better about it but Alex can't stop teasing me every chance he gets.

It seems he expected something to happen between us yesterday and he is disappointed it didn't, so that is his form of payback. But he is never being mean or hurtful, he only annoys the shit out of me but my punches get more powerful as I recover and that shuts him up for a while.

Anyway we have a great day hiking and enjoying the great weather and the beautiful landscape. And Max has the time of his life with three people that are constantly making a fuss about him and all the new things he sees and smells.

When afternoon rolls around Alex has to leave. It's only two days until tour starts and of course he wants to spend time with Lisa.

The next two days will be a busy time for both of the boys with pre tour preparations and such.

When we say goodbye I don't mind giving him a kiss that lingers a bit longer as this might be the last time that we see each other in private until tour is over.

"Again, Alex, I'm sorry for what I did last night please don't hold a grudge against me any more." I ask when we break the kiss.

"Aye , Mickey" he replies ruffling my hair." It's all good, I'm sorry for teasing you so much, I didn't want to make you feel bad, you know how I am." He sounds sincere.

He is about to leave when he turns round to me one last time.
"At least, you provided the imagery for my on-tour masturbations." Urgh! Here we go again.
I smile weakly at that and he cackles manically.

"Jack! " I howl annoyed. "Alex doesn't stop making fun of me. Do something."

My boyfriend jokingly grabs Alex by the throat and shakes him while Alex makes choking noises and then fake faints.

"There you go." Jack states, dusting off his hands.

He snakes his arm around my waist to walk us to our car.

"See you tomorrow, for equipment check, asshole." He shouts over his shoulder and I look back at a 're-awakening' Alex to stick out my tongue at him childishly and he makes a stupid face back holding his thumb and forefinger in an L-shape to his forehead.

That seals it. We're good!

Notes

Alex is being a meanie. :)
