Saff’s head was pounding the second she opened her eyes, she blinked a few times, getting her mind together. Her room was a lot lighter than it usually was on mornings but that was probably just her hangove- hangover. She’d drank a lot last night and didn’t even remember going home. Someone shifted beside her, she could feel them now, a warm body heat and an unfamiliar smell, well, not majorly unfamiliar, it was just mens deoderant, lynx, she couldn’t name which one to be exact but there was a large possibility that it was chocolate. So she wasn’t at home. Her eyes went down to her uncovered body, she was wearing her underwear, good thing but the grey shirt with the colourful robot on was not so good. Saff swallowed the lump in her throat and ignored the sick feeling in her tummy before rolling over to see a sleeping Stefan, the sheets wear up it his waist so she couldn’t see if he was wearing anything.
“Stefan, Stefan! Wake up!” she back handed his arm and he jolted and groaned,
“owe owe owe” his hands went to his head and Saff brought her knees up to her chest, sitting up right. Then Stefan opened his eyes, they went to her first, almost like he was trying to recognise her. Then it clicked. His eyes widened, “shit.” he mumbled. Saff nodded in agreement then he lifted the sheets up and dropped them again, covering his face with his hands and groaning even more deeply. Saff didn’t feel so good, she jumped out of bed and left the room before Stefan could say anything else.
Ash pushed the bedroom door open slowly, Stefan was sat on the edge of his bed in his boxers, his fingers froze halfway through his hair.
“Please tell me that wasn’t Saff dart into the bathroom? In your T-shirt” Ash asked, Stefan nodded without looking up, Ash chuckled, “good luck”
“fuck off” Stefan mumbled, Ashley left with another chuckle.
Saff looked in the mirror, she’d thrown her body weight up and she was pretty sure it wasn’t just from the hangover. Her and Stefan weren’t even that close as friends and she’d- she didn’t even want to think about it. She ran her fingers through her waves and washed her face, taking off any excess make up. There was a Listerene on the sink side, Saff washed and rewashed her mouth out until she felt well enough to confront Stefan again.
Stefan looked up when he heard the familiar creak of the floor board just inside of his door, he could smell the Listerene. Him and Saff stared at each other blankly for a few seconds, feeling like time had stopped. She looked down at the floor, her clothes were sprawled out, silently, she began to get dress, Stefan watched then when she took his top off, she looked at him and he quickly cleared his throat and looked away. Saff shook her head,
“I don’t see why you’re looking away, you saw more last night” she said, picking her vest up and turning it outside, Stefan bit the inside of his lip, still looking at the floor,
“i don’t remember anything” he replied. Saff froze momentarily and slowly pulled the vest down, nodding.
“Well there’s a start… I guess” Ash knocked on the bedroom door,
“do you two want a drink?” he asked, Saff looked at Stefan, he could see the colour rising in her cheeks then he turned to Ash,
“don’t say anything” he said, Ash nodded. “Coffee… Saff, d’you want a drink?” Stefan looked at her, he couldn’t meet her eyes properly, it seemed to be the same for her. She shook her head,
“no thanks” Ash disappeared and she slowly sat down on the bed, bringing one leg up, picking at a loose thread in her tights. Neither Stefan or Saff said anything. He stood up, pulling on a fresh pair of jeans and a black top, Saff watched quietly, his back to her. She could see even without touching him that he was tense, he didn’t put a hat on, he just fluffed his hair about. Saff had a feeling this wasn’t his first one night stand, unlike herself, but the girls were usually gone by morning or at least he didn’t know them before hand.
“Are you okay?” he asked, sitting back down on the edge of the bed and looking at her, she was staring ahead. In reply to his question, Saff gave a limp shrug, she wasn’t entirely sure how she felt.
“I ergh-” she cleared her throat, “this is the first…” she didn’t quite know how to word it but Stefan got her jist, he nodded,
“yeah, i can tell” she looked at him, he didn’t feel like smiling would be appropriate right now. It might make her feel even more uncomfortable. He shook his head, “don’t worry, i won’t say anything” the corners of her lips went up a little but it wasn’t a smile.
“Thanks” she said, he nodded and bit his lip again, looking around his bedroom. He sighed and laid back,
“pretty wild party huh?” Saff was more than happy at the change or at least the avoiding of the main current subject. She breathed a small halfhearted laugh and nodded.
“Yep, i’ll help tidy up if you want?” she didn’t look at him when she head the sheets crumple a little when he turned his head to look at her and shrug,
“it’s up to you, i dare say Ash has done most of it, and anyway, what about the puppies?” she sat up slightly,
“right, yeah, the puppies, Jade’s most likely lost them all” Stefan laughed a little,
“nah, they’re probably fine” she nodded and rolled her shoulders,
“yeah, well, then i should get back and make sure of that” Stefan nodded and she left after a few more words. Stefan walked downstairs, Ash was sat on the sofa, he nodded to the cup of coffee in the low table by the other sofa arm, Stefan sat down and picked it up, bracing himself for his friends predictable questions. He wasn’t disappointed,
“so… You and Saff-“
“there is no me and Saff” Stefan cut in the middle, Ash raised one eyebrow,
“you’re not actually going to-” Stefan shook his head and Ash shrugged, “fair enough… She has a nice bum, i’ll give her that” Stefan shook his head with a mouthful of coffee and swallowed,
“no, she has a really nice body” Ash brought his eyebrows down,
“this is Saff you’re on about” Stefan smirked a little,
“you’ve only seen her with clothes on, i’ve seen her in her underwear, but only this morning mind, i can’t for the life of me remember what actually happened lastnight” Ash raised his eyebrows,
“so you don’t actually know if you” he whistled, Stefan looked every inch as guilty as he was and Ash tilted his head back, “shit” he mumbled.
“I woke up, she had my shirt on and i had nothing on, it doesn’t take an idiot to put two and two together” Ash nodded,
“yeah, no kidding”
“and i was her first” Ash looked straight back at him again, eyes wide,
“what, you took her-” Stefan shook his head,
“no, no i mean, i was her first one night stand” Ash nodded in realisation,
“i’m sure she’ll be fine and forget about it or something” Stefan could only hope. He had no interest in actually getting with Saff, she was a nice girl but she just wasn’t his type.
