It was late on a Friday night when i texted her. Sitting alone in my room with the light off and an empty bottle of wine next to me.
"Hey do you want to come over for some cuddles and maybe a movie?"
My heart raced as it took her time to respond. This was the second time that i had made a pass at her, but the first time that i had ever done it sober*. The last time that we crossed paths was at a friends pool party. I showed up and swam and smoked a bit with some friends. Everyone at the party had a pretty good buzz going on.
Those of us who were closest to the party thrower stayed latest. Too drunk to drive, he insisted that we stay over. As i lay falling asleep on his couch, i looked across the room and saw her lying there, twiddling her thumbs.
"H-hey… you still u-up?," i hiccuped and slurred. She looked over at me, almost surprised, "Yeah," she quietly muttered.
