My best friends sister and I were pretty close growing up. I spent a lot of time at their house because mine wasn’t always the most fun to be at. She actually gave me a lot of dating advice and we talked about it a lot until I started hooking up with her former best friend who she wasn’t really on speaking terms with any more.
Anyway one night in the winter I was back from college and hanging out at my parents house when she texted me. She saw one of my friends from High School at the bar and asked why I wasn’t there. I told her I was just laying low but we kept texting, I could tell she was drinking more but I couldn’t tell if she was intending to flirt with me or just having a good time. Eventually she said she was too drunk to drive and asked if I’d come pick her up at the bar. Again, I wasn’t sure if she really just needed a ride (I didn’t live far from the bar) or if she was flirting so I dropped a line.
“Fine, I’ll put on pants and come pick you up.”
