I'm so jacked up
Over you.

LILAC RIVERS

_______________

Lilac woke up with an arm around her waist. It took her a while to register where she was. She remembered, and she turned the other way to see Travis's face. His glasses were off, his eyes were closed, and there was a trail of drool coming from his mouth. She used her thumb to wipe the drool off his face, then leaned in and kissed him. She broke the kiss, and noticed that his eyes were open now. "Way to wake me up," he whispered. She smiled and lay her head on his chest. His breathing and the beat of his heart calmed her. "So, you do remember last night?" "How could I forget?" Lilac smiled. "My head hurts," he complained. "Oh, God, you've got a hangover." She hopped up and ran to his bathroom. She quickly found a pain med and tossed it to him. "Look, I-" she shut him up by pushing his hand that held the pain med closed to him. She poured the purple liquid into a measuring cup. He downed it and looked back at her. Before he could speak again, Lilac remembered something. "Did we-?" "No, I don't think so," Travis said. "Ok. Good, that's good, but, I hardly know you." "Sure, but we can fix that." "No, I- I have to go." "What? Why?" "I- I can't stay, ok?" "Lilac, please," he said, looking like a puppy, grabbing her hand. "Let me go, Travis." "Lilac..." "Let go, Travis." "No." Lilac violently pulled her arm out of his grip. "I have work." "It's 8:30. No one drinks that early." Lilac flashed a smile back, holding the door ajar. "I never said I only  worked one job."
