Three hours later, Ronnie was feeling much better. Amy and she had made their way through two bottles of wine and several Smirnoff Ices, and had moved on from watching bad movies on Netflix to talking about their past relationships and playing drinking games. They were well on their journey into intoxication, and everything seemed much more intense than it really was.

“I swear,” Ronnie said, kicking her feet up onto the coffee table, “being with Kenny made me swear off Mexican food. I couldn't breathe after Kenny ate a burrito, it was so bad.”

Amy laughed, her cheeks flushing and her smile so bright it could blind a room. “I guarantee Andrea was worse. She could clear a room faster than anyone I've ever met.”

Ronnie shook her head and took a long drink of her Smirnoff. She pulled her foot up on the couch and leaned her head against the back cushion. “Man, I don't understand how she could ever leave you guys. If you were my wife I'd be worshipping the ground you and the kids walked on.” She drained the bottle before holding it up. “She's an idiot.”

Amy snorted. “Well, look at Kenny. You're the hottest girl I've ever laid eyes on, and he decided to fuck his lame boss instead. I'd freaking love to be in his shoes.”

Ronnie looked at Amy, that urge to touch her surging back to life. “Really?”

Amy nodded. “Really. I'm sure sober-me is going to hate me for drunk-me telling you this, but I've wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you.” She hesitated before putting her drink down and moving closer, putting her hand on Ronnie's knee. Ronnie's breath caught. “And I think you want me, too.” She glanced down at Ronnie's lips before leaning in.

Ronnie froze as Amy's lips pressed against hers. Amy rubbed her thumb in small circles against Ronnie's knee, which tickled at first and then caused a burning sensation so strong that it brought Ronnie back to her senses.

She pushed Amy away gently. “I'm sorry, Amy, but I don't know if I . . . ” She trailed off and bit her lip, her heart sinking at the devastated look on Amy's face.

The other girl played it off well, though, the sadness in her eyes lasting only a second before she put a mask in place. “Right, I know. You're straight.” She rubbed the back of her neck. “I'm sorry.”

“It's fine.”

Amy moved to the other side of the couch and nursed the rest of her drink. Ronnie shook her bottle and started to get up to get another one, but before she could, Amy held her hand up and stood. “I'll grab it.”

Ronnie watched Amy leave before putting her face in her hands and letting out a long breath. That kiss with Amy had been brief, but it left Ronnie longing for more.

When Amy came back into the room, Ronnie made a decision. She waited until Amy was near the couch and had put the bottles down before she patted the spot next to her, looking up at the other woman though her lashes.
