Like Ass

Friday September 6th

Feeling like ass but better than I deserve, I open the fridge. “What would you like to drink?” I look back as she digs into her little crossbody purse.

“Honestly, I’m all good.”

Damn right, she’s good. That little black skater skirt with the off-the-shoulder shirt that exposes her bellybutton ring with Chuck Taylors is insanely sexy.

“I’m grabbing a ginger ale and I have Dr. Pepper?” I grab one from the six pack I bought, having decided I would, in fact, start drinking soda, pop, Coke, or whatever they call it here once in a while. Having never been a drinker of anything other than water or drinks with added electrolytes, a ginger ale when sick, or the occasional Coke on the rare times we went out as a family, I chose what Riley drank at Dean’s at the end of last semester.

“Diet,” she corrects me, which leads me to believe she’s planning on staying.

Perfect.

I inspect the can and am happy I was a hell of a lot sober when I bought this, unlike now, as I feel buzzed and in the beginning stages of a hangover.

I turn around, see her looking at her phone, pop her tab, and hand it to her.

She takes the drink. “Thanks. Any chance you have another charger?”

“Yeah.”

Returning to the living room, I hand her a hoodie. “Again, you look stunning, but you’ll be more comfortable.” I hold my other hand out for her phone to get it set up.

“Just until my phone charges, and then I’m getting a ride.”

“Understood.”

After getting her phone charging and mine set up so the alarm goes off, I head over and sit beside her, leaving a respectable amount of space between us, and see she’s quickly putting on the hoodie. It swallows her up as I knew it would, but fuck if I don’t love the fact that I know my numbers are across her back.

I lean forward to grab the remote and my drink to see the ginger ale has been replaced with Powerade.

I glance at her, and she holds out her hand. “Drink that and take these.”

“You worried about how I’m gonna feel in the morning?”

She shrugs. “One of us has to.”

After shooting back the Motrin and drinking half the blue drink down, I turn to her. “I don’t get drunk.”

“Lies.”

“Fine. I normally don’t drink. I very, very rarely get drunk. Tonight was just—”

“Koa and Nalani broke up, and you two knuckleheads—neither of which drink often—decided tonight was the night to nosedive off the wagon.”

“Perfect summary.”

She taps the side of her head. “Contrary to what one of my group project partners thinks, I’m really pretty smart.”

“I know you’re intelligent.” And beautiful. So fucking beautiful.

She quirks a brow. “But my grammar drives you insane.”

“Just trying to be helpful.” I stretch my arm out on the back of the couch and take one of the waves of her hair between my fingers. I have to stifle a groan at how silky it feels. “Tell me about your date.
