SCENT OF LOVE

The sun rays fall on my face as the curtains are slided aside. The warm light on my face makes me slowly wake up, as my eyes flutter open I find myself in my dorm with a weird pounding in my head. The cool sheets are so comfortable to just stay in a little longer.

"Wake up now, it's already 3 in the afternoon" Jasmine informs. My eyes flutter wide open and I sit up straight removing the blanket. As I sit groggily on my bed rubbing my eyes feeling the haziness in my vision. The dull ache in my head and bitterness on my tongue makes me remember last night

I groan holding my head regretting it. I was so angry and frustrated yesterday that I just forgot everything and went straight up to drink to clear my head

Seriously?

What was I even thinking! I just did something totally out of my character just because I was so pissed off by that jerk

"How are you feeling?" Jasmine asks, she sits on the edge of the bed passing me a glass of water and a tablet . I take the tablet swallowing it and gulp down the water in one go to ease out the dryness in my throat. The memories of last night are still blurry, I don't remember anything. "Still groggy" I mumble, placing the glass aside

"If you get drunk like that again without anyone around I am seriously gonna kill you. Do you know how worried I was?" She glares at me. She is angry but I know how concerned she is for me. Jasmine knows about me getting drugged once, her anger is applicable. "I am really sorry, I wasn't thinking properly, Please don't be mad" I say, my words sincere but I couldn't maintain eye contact with her due to guilt. I slowly tug on her hand trying to ask her forgiveness

She sighs, shaking her hand, her eyes softens "Be careful from now on okay? Don't do that again" I smile while nodding at her. She scoots closer wrapping her arms around me pulling me into a hug "Thank God, Liam brought you back" she says, rubbing my back

I pulled away from her, "what do you mean Liam brought me back?" I ask, almost yelling. She slams her palm on her forehead "Aare yeh ladki toh sab kuch bhool gayi! She groans
[Translation: Ah! This girl has forgotten everything!]

"You were drunk, you called him and blabbed something to him. Luckily, he found you and brought you back" she explains. As she speaks, a bit of the memories come back to my mind. Me calling him lemon, him arriving at the restaurant, and how I was singing in front of him.

I closed my eyes and hid my face in my hands feeling embarrassed. "Please tell me you are joking." I plead, hoping this all was just a dream. She chuckles, shaking her head. Jasmine grabs my hands and removes them from my face and gestures to me to look beside. I frown and turn my head to the side. My eyes fall on a coat lying beside me.

Oh God-

I take the wrinkled coat in my hands feeling the expensive cloth is all ruined due to my behavior. "This is bad" I cry out, trying to straighten the wrinkles with my palm which is obviously really stupid. Jasmine holds my hands preventing me from touching the coat and takes it in her hands in the air
