Nikol

In the door stood Nikol, as cheerful as ever, with a tray in hand. She was wearing a old, worn T-shirt of Lauren's and some track pants she thought she had thrown away a long time ago.

"Ah, good. You are finally awake, sleepyhead." she said with a smile as she walked up to Lauren and put the tray on the cover in her lap. She sat down at the end of the bed, near Lauren's feet.

Lauren was a bit relieved it was Nikol. She didn't know how she would have reacted if it had been a man. Though she also felt embarrassed at the same time, like she was the guest in her own place. She daren't look Nikol in the eyes. She wasn't used to seeing someone right after waking up. Especially not while she was hungover. She hoped she hadn't lost any respect towards her because of that. Well, she surely would if she revealed she had no memory of last night's events. But she just had to know what had happened. She had to ask.
