An intense wave of nausea startled me awake from my desperately needed sleep.

I looked at the digital clock on the nightstand: five in the morning.

Rolling over on my side, Dominik was still asleep, but had done little to stay separate from me.

At some point during the night, he had migrated from the edge of the bed, to practically smothering me. His arm was secured tightly around my waist, his head by my shoulder as he was undisturbed by my rustling around.

He was delightfully warm, and a very soft pillow to be curled up against. I almost wanted to just continue laying there and staring at him, enjoying his body so close to mine.

But I was truthfully going to vomit all over the bed if I tried to stay there for one more second.

I carefully untangled our limbs from each other, moving slowly and carefully to not wake him. He looked rather beautiful like this, his eyelids closed and relaxed.

As much as I tried to go back to sleep and ignore the nausea, I couldn’t hold it off anymore.

Throwing the blankets off me, I made a run for it to the bathroom, flipping the light switch on.

Just as predicted, I once again puked but there wasn’t so much to throw up that time with practically nothing in my system. Great.

I felt like actual hell, wondering why I didn’t just take off my damn jeans with how uncomfortable they were as I sat down on the cold bathroom tile. I had never been hungover before. Everything felt like it was vibrating.

I sat on the ground for a while longer, hoping the intense throbbing of my head would calm down more.

After some time had passed, I felt well enough to stand, pulling myself up by the bathroom sink.

Finally more coherent, I decided to get out of my uncomfortable clothes. I rifled through my suitcase and found a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. I turned around to see if Dominik was awake, but he still seemed fast asleep. My head was starting to pound worse though, and all I was focused on was getting changed and going back to sleep again. So, I quietly shimmied out of my jeans and tank top and just slid things on as fast as possible.

I climbed back into bed and slid in close to Dominik. Cautiously moving closer to him until I was by his chest. Willingly snaking my body around his, thoughtfully moving every piece of me to interlock with him, I sighed contently.

He stirred slightly, turning over and pulling my waist closer to him. His hand laid across my torso, and I was situated just perfectly into the curve of his body.

Comfortable once more, I drifted back off to sleep on cloud nine.
