Chapter 11: After Party

She woke up to the sound of a telephone ringing in the distance. "Was that my phone? no, that's not my ringtone." But whoever the caller is, knew what being persistent was. She groaned inwardly willing to stop coz she had no plans of getting out of bed. After a whole fucking century of ringing and she remain to bury herself under the pillow it stopped. But just like that, her sleep was ruined no matter how hard she tried she couldn't go back to sleep.

She sighed loudly exasperated and slowly opened her eyes. Grateful that there were no blinding lights. Jaiye felt a hangover, with slight nausea and a vague headache. She slowly recognized that she wasn't in her room at all. And she was completely naked. She raised the sheet that was covering her, not believing herself just to confirm with her own eyes and not her other senses and was dismayed to see she was completely in the nude.

A bit scared now, she turned her head and was greeted by a head with long black hair and a beautifully sculpted back that nearly made her mouth water. "Did I have sex with this guy?" But it sure she didn't feel like it, well, of course, unless he had a small weenie. That was a probability.

Should she feel guilty that she wasn't feeling guilty for cheating? Or was she not feeling guilty because she knew there was a high chance that nothing happened.

Jiaye slowly got up and grabbed the shirt that she found thrown over the chair. It looked oddly familiar. She went back to the bed to check who this 'stranger' was. She rolled her eyes when she saw it was just Jayden his mouth wide open, not even in the world of the mortals.

She slowly surveyed the room and found the telephone, with the room service numbers right beside it.

"Good afternoon, how may we be of service?"

"A big bowl of chicken soup and some freshly baked buns, please. Room 212."

"Yes, madam. We'll be right with you." She hangs up and headed to the kitchenette to brew herself some coffee.

"Something smells good." Jayden's voice came from directly behind her and placed his head heavily on his shoulder. "Please make me a cup too, honey."

"Sure. There's enough for two. On a different note though, have you been hitting the gym lately coz damn son." She turned around and dramatically looked at him from top to bottom.

"You sure you don't want to come back to this bed? I'll be good I promise." She batted her lashes and looked up to him.

"Nice try doll. After last night I know you'd never even look twice if it isn't Maddie." He said the name with a touch of dreamy in his voice. Then it dawned on her.

"Oh my god!!! Don't tell me I was one of those girls?!" She buried her face in her hands so embarrassed by the whole scenario.

"Mmmhmm darling, you were." He went over and poured himself a mug and tentatively sipped. He grabbed another mug, put in three sugars for me, stirred then handed it over.

"Do you need more details? Because it seems you've conveniently forgotten the embarrassing parts of your night."

"No thank you! Where's my phone anyway?"

"We had to confiscate it-"

"Wait, we?"

"Yes, Sally and her crew don't tell me you've forgotten them?!"

now she remembered more bits from last night. Sally was the girl who pulled them out of the club and gave them drugs for days. She remembers they'd ended hanging out together the rest of the night.

"No, I haven't."

"If I'm not wrong, their room should be down the hall. As you go grab your phone could you bring mine too?"

"Okay."

She took a couple of gulps of her coffee and stepped out.

Just as she stepped out she saw a shock of red hair down the hall. The guy from last night? Okay, someone needed to fill her in on everything that happened last night. He looked like he was debating something and she was pretty sure she knew what it was. Should she meddle? Or maybe she shouldn't? She..what's the worst thing that could happen if she did meddle. Jiaye softly walked up to him and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

He turned abruptly and immediately took in her indecent outfit he's eyes zeroing in on the shirt. zoommm...his memory was that good?

"Hi, I-i didn't know, you two were a couple. Sorry." He was speaking so softly she barely caught what he said.

She tried not to burst out laughing, honest she did, but the laughter just escaped.

He blushed lightly and stepped back looking like he was about to run.

"Sorry. I thought it was pretty evident. I'm the straight best friend, Jaiye. Nice to meet you." She outstretched her hand and he took it after a bit of hesitation.

"Well, come with me. His room is right this way." She held onto his hand and pulled him along with her disregarding his hesitance.

She opened the door without knocking softly encouraging redhead that he was making the right decision.

"Took you long enough!" She heard his footsteps coming towards them. "What were you doing over..."His voice trailed off when he noticed the redhead beside her. She wagged her eyebrows suggestively at him then slipped out, of course, after pushing redhead in and closing the door. She went down to check Sally's room and get their phone as Jayden's told him it was with them.

She knocked twice on the door and quietly waited for them to open the door. No response. She knocked again, but harder this time then she finally heard some movement from inside. Glasses toppling over, furniture being pushed around then the door finally swung open.

She saw the pissed off look on her face then slowly faded as recognition dawned upon her.

"Jaiye?"

"Hey, sorry to bother you, " She made sure to rush out her words in a soft -whisper. "Could you please help me with my phone and Jayden?"

She looked like she was deep in thought as she, she presumed, tried remembering where she'd left them.

"Come on in." She stepped back and let me in. Her room was surprisingly neat. She made herself comfortable on the chair and tried not to stare at her partner.

"Here you go, for a moment there I thought I'd lost them." She said as she handed over the phone to me.

"Cool, thanks." She wasn't even listening to her anymore her mind was just on unlocking her phone. "You want to go for food later?" She asked her just before she left so she didn't seem rude or anything.

"Hmmm...lemme pretend to think about it," She said as she tapped her chin comically. "No, no, I really don't. I just want to stay in today."

Jiaye chuckled softly. "I really like you. I'll pass by before I leave." She said it as she stepped out of her room. Finally, she turned on her phone and watched it vibrate angrily. Well, this is interesting, from the million texts and voicemails she'd gotten, her darling husband had noted her absence.

Good.
