NovelEnglishChapter 106 I looked up at him, making sure he wasn't mad before I answered, "I cwith Liam. I wasn't feeling great and just wanted to drink." Worried he might get angry, I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzled his cheek like a little kitten. "Don't be mad." The next morning, I woke up with a pounding headache. When I opened my eyes, I realized it was dark around me-definitely not my dorm. I rubbed my temples and was just getting up when the door to the room opened.
I looked over and saw Ethan walking in. I frowned instinctively. "What are you doing here?" It was only then that I realized I was in Ethan's apartment.

I bought you ssoup to help with the hangover." Wait. Wasn't I with Liam last night? I remembered us drinking more than a bottle of red wine, and then I was lying on the couch, counting stars. Liam even cried. But after that...
The headache was getting worse, so I tapped my head lightly, trying to jog my memory.
Nothing.
Ethan smiled at me. "Baby, do you needto coax you into drinking shangover soup? Con, have a little something, and the headache will go away." The nicknhitlike a sledgehammer, and my face instantly flushed with heat.
I was about to snap at him when suddenly, fragments of last night crushing back-him holdingclose, whispering into my ear, "Be good, baby, tellhow much you drank." The words I was about to say stuck in my throat. Then I remembered more-how I'd snuggled up to him like a little kitten, begging him not to be angry.

I 10 my "Thanks for taking care oflast night while I was drunk, but I have class today, so I'll be heading out now." With that, I quickly made my exit. Once I was out of Ethan's apartment, I could finally breathe a little easier. I raised my hand to flag down a cab when my phone started ringing. It was Liam.
As soon as I picked up, his voice, stuffy from a cold, cthrough the line. "You're terrible! You just leftthere! Do you even know I slept on the floor all night? I woke up with a cold this morning!
"I drank with you! And you abandoned me! Abandoned me! How could you?" Liam was fuming on the other end, his nonstop complaining making my already aching head feel even worse. "Can you stop shouting for a second?"
"You leftall alone, and now I'm sick, yet you're yelling atlike it's my fault-so unfair!" Liang whined leaning into his tic side. He was all woe-is-me, and it was drivingup the wall. "Okay, okay, stop," I interrupted quickly. "Where are you? I'll cget you."
