Sleepless

I look at the wall clock hanging above my head, watching in rapt attention as the long hand ticked each second away. A minute fragment of my life, steadily leaking through my hands.

Have you ever had that feeling that you had too much time in your hands? Nights spent having fun with your friends to various bars around. Staying up late to gawk at beautiful people far beyond your league. Drinking your money away. Laughing at nothing in particular. This is the life. No worries. No hassles. Just you and the bottle of beer in front of you.

Closing time. The waiters tell you and your friends they're about to close. You just smile. You're high. No one can touch you. You ride into the back seat of your "friend", who so happened you had a crush on. One thing led to another and both of you end up in his bed inside his room. You wake up to the harsh morning light, your mouth tastes like stale vinegar. You try to stand up, the sudden movement send you puking out the fish n' chips you had as pulutan. The acrid smell rises up to your nostrils as your head spins. Beside you, he stirs, you suddenly realize what happened. Thoughts like, what would happen next? Does this mean we're a couple now? Did he use protection?
