Chapter 10

The walk from the bathroom back to the bar feels equivalent to the green mile. Concentrating on my feet while walking isn’t an easy task. Right, left, right, left…you can do it. Just a few more steps. Right, left, OUCH!

“Watch where you are going!”

I quickly look up, lose my footing and start to fall back, only to fall forward and crash into a wall.

Except, I’m pretty sure the wall I’m clutching is in the human form. A comfy human wearing the softest, black T-shirt. Instead of apologizing, I decide I’m comfortable just where I am.

“Damn it, Daisy! How much did she have to drink?” A familiar voice is loud and in my ear, but I choose to ignore it. Nothing good has come from that voice as of late. I’m happy right where I am, against this human wall.

“Four or five…Long Island iced teas.”

“They were soooooo good! Weren’t they Daisy?” I turn in the human’s arms to face my new friend. “Oh wait! You wouldn’t know because you didn’t drink any…I’m still big mad! MIG BAD!” I’m mad but give a slight chuckle. That was funny.

“Oh hell!” That voice is back again.

“Colin, I was drinking sweet tea and I lost count of how many she had. I forgot she was still drinking the real stuff.” Daisy pleads. OH SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! COLIN!

“Colin?” I turn around into the wall again, but look up this time and catching him looking down at me with those eyes. I can’t help myself. It’s been so long and he has turned into perfection. Bringing my hands up to his face, I cup both of his cheeks. “You really are beautiful.”

“Sweetheart, I believe that should be my line.” A small smirk crosses his lips as he reaches up and removes my hands from his face, but keeps them firmly in his grip. “Let’s get you home. Daisy, see you Monday.”

“Yeah, what he said.” I turn and jab my thumb behind me. Apparently, too forcefully.

“Ouch...that’s my neck.”

Oops!

“Bye! And Colin…be nice!” She turns around and heads back to the bar. Maybe to talk to Brian. He seems to know her pretty well. I wonder how well.

“We’ll see…” he hollers back while dragging me out of the bar and into the well-lit city night. A black car pulls up and Colin leads us in its direction.

“Where’s your car?” Putting on the breaks, I jerk my hand back.

“It’s at the hotel. I wasn’t sure what shape you would be in so I called for car service,” he says, like it’s no big deal. “Now, let’s go.”

“What if I don’t want to go?” I whine, probably trying his patience. I know I should get in the car, but a part of me is upset that he is seeing me like this. So out of control, guard down.

“There is no other option. You’re drunk and you aren’t driving.” He opens the door, then stalks towards me.

I open my mouth to say something, but I can’t. I just watch him get closer and closer until he stops right in front of me.
