Ashton brought me back into the car and rolled the windows back up. I had no energy left to move or talk, so I just leaned against the car and slowly drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up to the sound of water running in the bathroom, I found myself lying on a hotel room bed.
I knew I was brought to the hotel by Ashton, so waking up on a foreign bed didn’t worry me as much.
Even after the rest I had, my head was still spinning, and my body felt limp. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get myself out of bed.
So that’s how it is after I drink. I may be sober, but my body just refuses to cooperate with me.
The bathroom door opened, and Ashton stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist. “Are you awake?” he asked as he glanced at me.
I nodded and instinctively pulled at the covers. It was only then that I realized I had been stripped naked.
My eyes widened in horror as I glared at Ashton. “Ashton, you’re despicable! You knew I was drunk, and yet, you… “
He turned toward me with a raised eyebrow. “And yet I what?”
