After Hunter had held me for so long and my tears had dried, he decided to go for a quick shower. And I was left alone with my thoughts. I couldn't turn on the TV because you never know what channel you might accidentally put on. So instead, I decided to look around the motel room.

Sure, the booze cabinet wasn't probably the best place to look but I need something to numb the pain and surely so many people couldn't be wrong? I looked for something that looked strong, but since they all did, I chose three random ones, sniffed them and chose the one which smelt the strongest.  I don't know what it was called and I just hoped it would do the trick; so I sat down on the floor in front of the cabinet and drank from the bottle. I did it now while Hunter was busy so he couldn't stop me.

I was thinking irrationally and I was being stupid but I just needed to forget. Hell I'd even drink enough just to pretend my sister was still alive. And that's what I tried to do. The alcohol burned my throats and I could no longer tell if I was in pain because what I was drinking was too strong or because of crying over my sister.

I checked my phone and found a whole bunch of missed calls and messages from my dad, Skylar, Ivy, Paul and Theo. I think there was even a message from Jake. My mom still hadn't spoken to me since.

When my phones ' screen blinked with Skylar's name I waited for my phone to stop ringing and then turned off my phone. I could reply to everyone else when I was feeling better. Screw all their apologies. What were they apologizing for? That my sister is dead? It's not like they killed her. All these empty apologies made me open another bottle since I was tired of the same taste.

A heard a ringtone and answered my phone, "Screw off. I'm not taking calls today."

"Em, answer my phone won't you?" Hunter's voice called from the other side of the door.

I looked down at my phone screen which was black. Oops, it wasn't my phone. I took one more swig of the drink and then pulled myself up on the cabinet. I didn't know it had wheels so I when it moved, I stumbled and landed on my bum, laughing.

"Em? Was that you?" Hunter sounded a bit more concerned.

"Oh no! I'm totally fiiiinnneeee." I answers back and laughed again.

I eventually managed to find Hunter's phone which was lying on the bed. I jumped on the bed and landed on my stomach, swinging my legs in the air. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was Skylar. Ugh, she was being needy. You'd think it would be me acting like she was considering it was my sister who died.

"Who called?" Hunter asked, stepping out of the bathroom.

"Skylar." I said.

I turned to face Hunter and there he was looking the exact same way when I had first met him except now there was a dark stubble along his face that made him look slightly older and his eyes harder. Although the towel hanging dangerously low on his hips was very familiar.

"Damn," I let out a low whistle, "I've got a sexy boyfriend."

Hunter laughed at this and left to the bathroom again before coming out again with sweatpants.

"Nooooooo." I moaned when he came to sit next to me, "Where's the towel?"

This got another laugh from him but he simply picked up his phone, "Sky must be calling to check in. Is your phone off or something?" When I didn't respond he simply looked at me and said, "Okay, I'm gonna call her."

My brain was processing everything very slowly (and I'd like to blame that on the alcohol) so by the time Hunter had called Sky and she had answered, had I realized that I didn't want Skylar to be calling right now. So I jumped on Hunter's lap and kissed him . His eyes widened in surprise and he ended the call, cutting Skylar off, dropping his phone and wrapping his arms around me.

For some reason these kisses were different. Even I could feel it. There was a burning passion between us that couldn't be ignored. I knew why I was kissing him so desperately. Nothing in life was guaranteed so we had to take the chances we got.

The fact that Hunter was already shirtless was a huge advantage for me. I got to run my hands along his beautifully sculpted body.

"Remind me to thank your parents." I whispered as Hunter pulled back to kiss my neck.

"For what?"

"You."

This one simple word brought Hunter's lips back to mine and his hands slipped under my shirt. As my hands moved to his back and up into his hair, Hunter played with the hem of my shirt. I answered by placing my hands over his and gently lifting my top over my head.

Hunter look at me before whispering, "I've got a fucking beautiful girlfriend." And then trapped my lips with his.

Eventually Hunter flipped me over and rested himself over me using his elbows. He planted kisses from my neck till my stomach. My hands found their way to the band of Hunter's pants and I knew what I wanted. I saw him tense and gulp and decided to kiss him to take away some of the tension. He started to move back as if he was trying to get away so instead I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back to me. I bit his lower lip and I think that's when he stopped himself.

"Sweetheart..." He managed to say before I was kissing him again. He slowly removed my hands from around his neck and then stood up. "Em, as much as I like you, I'm ninety nine percent sure you're drunk right now."

"No I'm not." I pouted, frustrated because Hunter was standing.

"Just hear me out ok? And don't take this the wrong way..." he started.

"So I should be prepared to be offended." I roles my eyes and then sat up, glaring at Hunter, "Well speak now."

"I'm pretty I know what you wanted this to lead to, but you're upset now and you're drunk. Don't try deny it. You're thinking irrationally and you probably don't actually want to do this right now... Although, honestly I wouldn't mind.  I would just prefer if my girlfriend could remember the mind blowing sex we had." He laughed lightly and then saw I wasn't amused.

He came to sit next to me and took my hands in his, even though I did try to pull away, "Come on, sweetheart, I doubt either of us would want to regret our first."

"I wouldn't regret it you asshole. I know what I was doing so I know what I want." His little revelation sobered me up enough and extremely quickly.

Hunter sighed before burying his hands in his face.

"I'm going to sleep now so if you have any unfinished business you need to attend to, I suggest you silently jerk off in the bathroom." I pulled my hands back and crawled into the bed.

"This doesn't mean I lo - like you any less, sweetheart." Hunter was moving around the room, digging in his bag for something.

"Sure as hell seems that way to me." I mumbled into the duvet.

"You'll thank me one day." I could practically hear the smile in his voice.

"Yeah, one day when I screw another guy ten times hotter than you." I argued.

"As if you could find someone ten times hotter than me." He said as he put down a glass of water and two white tablets, "Now drink up. And don't forget to swallow." Hunter winked at me.

"No sexual jokes since I just got rejected by my boyfriend!" I huffed and Hunter kneeled down in front of me.

"I could taste the alcohol when I was kissing you, sweetheart. And I could tell how drunk you were by the way you simply spoke to me. I can tell you know that you would much prefer to see this - " he gestured to his body, "while sober."

And with that he gave me one soft kiss and got into bed. Maybe I had got carried away and I would thank him later, I just wouldn't tell him anytime soon because that would just go straight to his head. I think the only real reason why I did what I did was because I really wanted to show Hunter how much I really loved him. Oh shit... I just admitted - This can't be good.
