with two lectures down and two more still to go, sloane silently cursed herself for spilling her espresso on the pavement during her morning commute to class. the effects of last night were beginning to take a toll on her, and there was only so much concealer one could use to hide the bags under their eyes. fetching the compact mirror from her handbag, sloane did a quick touch-up before returning the item to her bag, using her other hand to knock. once inside the boyâs dorm, she didnât waste time with formalities. âsave your twisted bloody mary for someone who needs it, cowboy,â she retorted, waving it off with her hand. sloane had been using the same elixir â a blend of ginger, turmeric, and chamomile â to cure hangovers since she was a sophomore in high school. from that moment on, she hadnât had to deal with a single migraine. "you took something last night that belongs to me and iâd like it back, please.â she couldnât see them from her line of sight which in turn only fueled her agitation. âthe pants, where are they?â
Parker cringed as she mentioned the pants. He and Marshall had spent at least an hour last night drunkenly trying to shimmy, shake, and sliver his way out of the purple death traps. They used magical and normie tips and tricks. The used every lubricant they had. Finally, they gave up on trying to save the structural integrity of the garment and finally freed Parkers thighs with a risky swipe of their lone kitchen knife. Thank the stars Parker's mother had taken so much time to teach him some general housekeeping spells or the things would have been ruined.
"No worries," his voice cracked ever so slightly, "They are right over here." The pants in question lay over the back of the sofa, perfectly pressed and re-stitched at the seam. He picked them up gently and held them out to her. Sloane was intimidating. Beautiful and funny, of course, but truly frightening. He hoped she wouldn't somehow notice that her clothes had been in tatters just hours ago. If he had known they where Sloane's and not Magenta's, he might've been more careful.
