It was?

The last thing I remember was the talk with my gran and then being in my room. How did I end up at Jake's and in his bed?

"I did". He lifted his head from the pillow and even though it was dark I could see the hint of his smirk.

"What time is it?". I asked.

"Almost 1".

I had been sleeping for hours.
