Chapter Eight

“If you get the chance to experience something new, grab it, and hold on for the ride”

Sedona

Thank god for Saturdays. I stretched in my bed and stared at my digital wall clock. 10:38 AM. I adjusted gym time to 1 PM on Saturdays if I had a late night on Friday.

The margaritas were great last night. Now, the effects were bound to hound me for the rest of the day. My neck muscles were sore. I massaged my back with my hands as I tried to recall last night’s events.

I remembered wanting to drown Kieran’s Nintendo, Zander taking me home, and Zander ‘curing’ my hiccups.

I thought I heard that ‘cure’ on a radio station. I wasn’t sure if it was scientifically proven, but it sure was effective.

I remembered Zander bringing me to my apartment and then to my room and he applied the hiccup cure some more. That was where my memory ended. I must have fallen asleep.

I was still wearing last night’s clothes.

I reached for my phone and saw a text from Zander that came in 9:35 AM, “How u feelin?”

Kieran also texted me at 8:15 AM, “Hangover much? I heard you got home ok. Zander called me.”

I texted Kieran first: Hide your Nintendo. It’s going down the tub, buddy!

He texted back: Get some aspirin first. BTW - My Nintendo goes missing, your planner goes into the ocean.

Yikes. He knew how to hit me where it hurt.

Time to text Zander.

Me: Hey, thanks for curing my hiccups.

It took less than 10 seconds before my phone beeped with an incoming text.

Zander: My pleasure. Definitely. What r u up to?

Me: Just wakin’ up. Hangover. Aspirin, crackers, juice, in that order.

Zander: Hope u feel better

Me: Me too

Zander: Any chance u feel better this PM?

Me: Hmm

Zander: ?

Me: Why?

Zander: I wanna hang with u

Me: Ok

Zander: 5 good?

Me: Yeah. Now, my bed is calling me. Again.

Zander: I wish I was in that bed
