The Morning After

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Sunset slowly woke to a throbbing headache, she opened her eyes and saw the light of the morning sun shining through the blinds of the window above her head. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes,

“I drank too much last night...” she thought. Her memory was hazy, she remembered going to the bar after work and having a few drinks but was having trouble remembering what happened afterwards. She went to sit up when she noticed the weight across her chest, she looked down to see Adagio sleeping her head resting on her chest, her arm draped across her hugging in her sleep. Sunset suddenly started to remember what had happened last night, she looked around and noticed she wasn’t at her apartment either.

“We went back to her place? My apartment was closer! Why did I drink so much last night?!” she groaned. Adagio let a small groan and slowly lifted herself up, her hands positioned under Sunset’s arms. Sunset looked up at Adagio as she opened her eyes and looked back at her, the sun shined on her golden hair as it hung down across her shoulders, her bare body completely exposed to Sunset. She was awestruck by the sight before her, she never really stopped to look before but now she could see it, she was beautiful, more gorgeous than she had ever realized. Adagio stared back at Sunset silently, then slowly her eyes began to widen a look of surprise on her face. Sunset braced for the worst,

“Oh no...here it comes.” she thought. Adagio looked around the room in a panic and shouted,

“What time is it!?!” She sprang from the bed and frantically searched the room until she found her phone,

“9:43?! I slept in dammit!!!” she shrieked, Adagio dialed a number on her phone and held it between her head and shoulder as she began to dress herself in a hurry.

“Aria? Aria! It’s me, Adagio! I’m sorry, I slept in...Why?” she looked back at Sunset with an annoyed glare.

“I met an old acquaintance last night and had too much to drink. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Sunset sat up covering herself with the blanket as she watched Adagio finish putting on her panties and pants, she paused as she picked her blouse.

“What? Oh, she did? Well...do you still want me to come by?...A little hungover yeah...Well, if your sure then...Yeah, ok I’ll see you this weekend then...Ok, thanks and I’m really sorry.” Adagio spoke into the phone before ending her call and turning to face Sunset. She sighed and leaned against the wall behind her and looked back at Sunset annoyed.

“So, is everything all right?” Sunset asked, Adagio glared back at her for a moment before answering.

“It’s fine, I was supposed to help Aria but your friend, I don’t remember her name. The excitable one, she showed up early and helped out.” Adagio explained, Sunset giggled before answering

“Pinkie, she’s the excitable one.” Adagio looked away her annoyed attitude seemed diminished now. Sunset couldn’t help but look over Adagio’s body as she stood across the room, the lines of her face, her slender neck and shoulders, her bare breasts, the curves of her hips. She was so beautiful she thought,

“Soo, what happens now?” Sunset asked, Adagio looked back at her and said,

“Get your shit and leave, I don’t care.” Adagio walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her, a moment passed and Sunset could hear the sound of a water running followed by the sounds of a shower.

“Guess I’ll just leave then...” Sunset thought.

Sunset managed to find her phone and underwear but had to leave the room to search for the rest of her clothes. She opened the door and was surprised to find them neatly folded at the doorstep, her boots and hoodie place beside them. She picked them and could smell the fabric softener on them, someone had just cleaned these she thought.

“Oh wow, you’re the one Dagi brought home last night?” a voice said, Sunset turned and saw Sonata standing in the kitchen a cup of coffee in one hand a plate with her breakfast in the other.

“Sonata?” Sunset asked, Sonata’s eyes slowly drifted downward Sunset suddenly remembering she was in her underwear still. She panicked and ducked back into the bedroom and finished getting dressed. A moment later Sunset walked out of the room and picked up her boots, and walked out of the apartment without a word. Sonata sat at the kitchen counter eating her breakfast, a few minutes later Adagio emerged from her room drying her hair with a towel wearing only a blouse and a pair of red panties. She sat across from Sonata,

“Is there any coffee left?” she asked. Sonata nodded and got a mug pouring Adagio a cup the way she liked it. Adagio rubbed the sides of her head, the shower helped but her head was still throbbing. She took a sip from her coffee,

“Why’d you bring Sunset home last night?” Sonata asked with a bright smile. Adagio looked at Sonata, she set her cup down and looked at her phone and replied.

“I was bored...plus I was drinking a lot last night. Seemed like a good idea at the time.” Sonata simply gave a sly grin back at her sister, Adagio looked up annoyed by Sonata’s expression.

“What?” she asked, Sonata leaned back and took a sip from her coffee.

“Oh nothing, nothing at all Dagi.” she teased.

Two hours had passed and Sunset finally made her way to Mr. and Mrs. Cake’s bakery, Fluttershy and Rarity were there waiting already as Sunset walked in.

“Sorry I’m late guys, some things happened last night and I had to run back home for a quick change of clothes and a shower.” Sunset explained, Fluttershy handed her a cup of coffee as she sat down.

“I don’t mind.” Fluttershy answered,

“I understand completely Darling, after all you can never put too much time into making sure you look proper for the day.” Rarity added. Sunset took a sip from her coffee, her head was still throbbing but she felt better now compared to how she was before. The three talked for a while before they took notice of Sunset rubbing her head occasionally,

“Sunset darling, are you alright? You seem like you might be sick.” Rarity asked. Sunset looked up and replied,

“I had a few drinks last night and woke up hungover, I’m still fighting it right now. That’s all.”

“Oh it’s not good to drink like that Sunset, maybe you should call Twilight or Applejack and see if they have any ideas how to help with your hangover.” Fluttershy said, Sunset smiled and thanked her friend for the idea. She picked up her phone and began to scroll through the contacts when she noticed Adagio’s name and number in her phone.

“When did I? Ugh, must’ve done it last night while we were drunk.” Sunset thought. She stared at her phone and began to think about her morning, about Adagio, and how she felt about her last night. Her heart began to race a little, butterflies in her stomach. It was like last night, but not as intense why did she feel this way about her so suddenly?

“Sunset? Are you okay?” Fluttershy asked, she looked up to see Rarity and Fluttershy looking at her concerned.

“I’m fine, but I gotta go. I think I left something at my job last night and need to go pick it up.” Sunset replied before grabbing her coffee and rushing out the door.

Sunset walked down the street annoyed that she had Adagio’s number in he phone,

“I’ll just delete it and be done with this.” she thought, she went to erase the number but then stopped. She stood in the middle of the sidewalk staring at her phone, her mind constantly thinking about last night. Adagio’s confidence, her smile, the smell of her hair, her body, everything about her was on Sunset’s mind now.

“Are these my feelings? Or is she just controlling me somehow?” she asked herself, she looked down at her phone again. She pressed the dial button and decided she had to know, she raised her phone to ear and spoke.

“Hello, Adagio? It’s Sunset...”
