On the scale of "risky", what you described would be considered "slightly to barely" risky. For the pill to be at it's 99% most effective, it is best to take it at the same time every day. You missed one pill, took it as soon as you remembered the next day, then resumed taking your pills as usual. Missing two, three or more pills can dramatically decrease the effectiveness of the pill.
Next time, to play it really safe, be sure to use a condom with sex for the next 7 days after a missed pill.
