Scoffing "all right" I let her in.

"Who is it?" My sister asks when I pick my laptop back up "It's Maisie with more bad advice,"


"I heard that!" She answers from the kitchen

"We'll finish talking later?" "Ok good night."

"Night" I shut my computer dropping it on the coffee table, walking over with 2 glasses in her hands Maisie hands one to me.


"Here's my plan" she sits next to me, "we get drunk off screwdrivers and figure out how we're going to do this."

"Getting drunk isn't what I need Maisie"


"Yes it is, some of the world's best decisions were made by drunks."

"What?" I question her

"I don't know! Just shut up and get drunk with me Lucky" what else do I have to lose, right? Wrong! Maisie and I are four drinks in and I feel great "Elliot's gonna be out of work in twenty

minutes," I stare at the time on my phone, "I want him to come over."

"Not scared anymore?"

"I was never scared!" Even drunk I'm a liar "and this may be the alcohol talking but I think I'm ready" "Oh god Lucky you're going in the opposite direction,"

"Well, you got me drunk! What'd you expect?"

"That's true" we chug the rest of our drinks and I stand up "need another one?" "Nope" I shake my head "I'm gonna go call my boyfriend"

"Are you sure? I know if you embarrass yourself you'll regret it tomorrow"

"I don't care!" Grabbing my phone I walk to my room dropping on my bed, clicking on his name I put the phone on my face and shut my eyes.

"Quick Stop Gas Station, how may I help you?" Elliot answers "I... what?"

"My manager's eyeballing me"

"Ah got it"

"What's up are you done avoiding me?" "Whaaaaaat I don't know what you're talking about" "Okay."

"I have a proposition"

"I'm listening"

"Since I've basically been shoving my foot in my mouth the last few days, I think it'll only be fair if you embarrass yourself as much as I have. You know to help me save face"

I hear him chuckle "how do I do that?"

Trying to think while you're drunk is impossible! "Well how about a story, something bad has to have happened to you at some point in your life, you can't be that perfect."

"You're right"

"I am?" He can tell I'm just rambling, right?

"Yeah, here's an embarrassing story. When I was in second grade there was this boy in my class named Adam that I really wanted to be my friend, but I never knew how to get him to like me. Then I learned in class what an Adam's Apple was, and little me thought it'd be a perfect joke to bring Adam an Apple every day until he got the joke and became my friend." Trying to stay as quiet as possible I fold my lips in "it's ok you can laugh"

I laugh and he says nothing, why is that the cutest thing I have ever heard? "I have so many questions"

"You can ask one"

Trying to stop laughing I ask, "did it work? Were you guys friends?"

"Nope, I was known as the kid who believed Adam's Apple was a real person" oh my god! I laugh more, "Are we even, Lucky?"

"Yes we are" I take the phone and sit up, "confession, I'm pretty drunk" "Are you?"

I nod as if he can see "Maisie is here making tasty drinks"

"I want to see this"

He's never seen me drunk and normal Lucky would probably say hell no, I'm saying "come here when your shift ends"

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

I lay back down, he's actually coming and I'm actually ok about that. "Ready for number five?"

Maisie walks into my room with full glasses "No, I can't Elliot's coming"

"He is?!" She stops and I nod "are you sure about that?" I want to answer but climbing my bed and

sleeping sounds like a better idea. "Lucky?" She calls my name as I fade.

Oh man, that was amazing and I mean for everyone involved "good morning," I hear Elliot and open my eyes.

Look at him standing at the foot of my bed in only his T-shirt and boxers, rubbing my eyes I see clearer. "Oh my god it actually happened" I look at my bare legs

"What happened?" He asks curiously "We had sex," I say with a smile

His smile grows and I can't see his teeth, they're so perfect "no Luck, we didn't" he walks closer

getting in bed.

"Yeah we were there going at it" I point to the pillows, "I saw it" "Wow, how was I?"

"I think I might have dreamt it" he chuckles "how drunk was I?"

"When I came over Maisie told me you passed out, I drove her home then came back here." "You did? That's so nice"

"I know just raking up the points" he hands me a cup of orange juice, "this should make you feel better"

"Oh god no" I gag pushing his hand away "it's too soon" he puts the cup down on the nightstand behind him. Laying down he reaches me and I climb him laying on his chest "I figured it out by the way"

"Figured what out?" Looking at him he stares at me until he figures it out, "oh that" "This is happening"

He grins, "okay."

"I'm serious" he laughs, "you laugh but I mean it, I'm going to be the best you ever had." "I know, I'll patiently wait" he grabs my face pulling me towards him until our lips touch.
