Back to School 12

Nerdyy opened his eyes, and automatically squinted. "Oh man," he held his forehead. His head was throbbing. He gingerly sat up and looked around. It was dim, wherever he was. He had no idea what he was doing here. He shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs, sudden movement made him jump up.

"What the hell!" He looked at the sleeping form of Layla, and slowly the memories came back to him, along with a growing sense of dread. "Oh man." He looked down at himself and then at the sleeping form of Layla.

He started pacing, mumbling to himself. How do I get out of this? How did it even happen? I need to go back to US right away. Emergency. Yes, tell them it's an emergency. NOW, man, now.

He took a gulp from his bottle. Then, swallowing, he stared at it. How the heck did this get in my hand now? He tossed it over his shoulder.

"OUCHHHHHHHHHH!" Layla yelped, sitting up and glaring bleary-eyed.  She grabbed the bottle and threw it back at Nerdy's head. He ducked and the bottle hit the door, thankfully not smashing.

Nerdyy stood stock still, hands in his pockets, looking at Layla guiltily.

"What?" Layla muttered. She pulled her bag onto the bed, rummaged around until she retrieved her mirror and brush. Brushing her hair, she threw another look at Nerdyy. "Well? What's the big idea, huh? You can shake me nicely and  I'll wake up, you don't have to throw bottles at me!"

"Err," Nerdyy was tongue-tied. Were they seriously going to pretend nothing happened? Communication, that's the key in every problem.  Yes, might as well. He cleared his throat.

"Err, Layla. Are we seriously going to pretend nothing happened?"

"Oh, don't gimme that! We made a mistake, so what? I'll be honest with you, I didn't expect all that to happen. But it was just the way things turned out. It was a shock to see you like that and have both of us do all that. But as you can see, we are still good to go!"

"Oh.Ah. Err. Are you sure you're okay, Layla?" Nerdyy swallowed.

"How many times do I have to tell you Romeyo? I'm a big girl I can take care of myself." She threw him a playful look. "You saw that for yourself. I'm good, aren't I?" She winked and grinned at him.

"Well, if you say so. I don't really remember anything of it." He cleared his throat again. I have to ask, it's only proper. He blurted it out. "We used protection, right?"
