“I said I was sorry,” I exclaimed for the millionth time since breakfast.

“I didn’t say anything.” Michael stared forward, not looking at me as we made our way toward the party Tim had invited us to.

“You don’t have to, I can see it in your face. You’re still pissed.” I huffed and crossed my arms over my sparkly halter top. I didn’t know what kind of party it was, but the way Tim had made it sound mean, it was more booze and wine coolers than caviar and scotch, which worked for me. I’d always been a cheap drunk. My five-dollar bottles of wine at home could attest to that.

“I apologize if my face has given you that impression.” Michael tucked his hands into his pockets, his eyes still facing forward. He had lost his corporeal form a bit after breakfast, and before that he had been reaming into me about warning a friend. Really, if I’d known he was going to be such a big baby about it, I wouldn’t have let him try it at all.

He’d disappeared after that, to do God knew what. Probably to pout. Freaking baby. Then he popped up just five minutes before I planned to leave for Tim’s party, looking way better than he should. I mean, Michael always looked good, but tonight, he looked particularly biteable.

He must have gotten some pointers from the others or found some old T.V. show to watch because he wouldn’t have picked what he was wearing on his own. Tight, butt-hugging black pants and a button-down, short-sleeved shirt. I didn’t see Michael in button downs often. Usually, his go-to attire was sweaters and thick V-necks, a ‘casual manager’ kind of a look.

I didn’t need any persuasion to give him a bit of the red stuff to make him material again.

I grabbed his arm and stopped him before we could get any further. “Look, can we just put the whole hot sauce thing behind us? You’re the one who wanted to go on a date with me. This party tonight can be that.”

“Really?” Michael’s brow furrowed. “A party counts? I thought we had to be alone for it to be a date.”

“No, no.” I shook my head, waving a hand in front of me. “A date can be anything. Even sitting in the room watching T.V. and binging out. Though most of the time that just ends up with people getting naked and sweaty.” I giggled, but it died off at the heated look in Michael’s eyes.

Michael picked up my hand and brought it up to his lips, brushing his mouth against it. “Then I would be happy to escort you.”

A bit breathless, I said, “Okay.” The distance between us seemed to close, and I could feel my eyelids getting heavy as I pushed up on my tiptoes. We were just moments from pressing our lips together when a gaggle of giggling women all dolled up like us came barreling through the hallway.

Breaking apart but without lessening the tension between us, I grabbed Michael’s hand and led him toward the direction the women had gone.
