I was unsure how to go about getting off the couch. I started sliding my naked body down to the end to slip out, but in doing so I accidently knocked Louis on the floor.

“Holy shit! What?” he exclaimed dazed and disoriented. He sat up and squinting, looked at me. My shirt was next to me so I covered up as he was remembering what happened. I stared at him nervously.

“We had sex didn’t we…” he asked.

“Do you not remember anything from last night?”

“I do…I was just checking,” he said awkwardly, as he put his clothes on. I covered up as well, and once we were decent we looked at each other again. Things were just so awkward! I knew it was because of what I had said last night and then coming on to him. He must be so confused right now, I must seem like such a bitch for being so hypocritical.

“We used a condom, right?” I asked suddenly as fear shot through me.

“Yeah, we did. I remember because you said I needed to ‘package the sausage’”

I chuckled uncomfortable, remembering now.

“Look,” Louis started, “I know you just want to be friends, and I know last night was because we were drinking, but I do like you a lot, and I know we just met, but you feel something when we are together, I know you do. I do too. I know you feel happier and comfortable and it scares you because no guy has ever made you feel like that before…” he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“How did you kn-“

“You told me last night. After we uh, ya know. And we were lying there in each other’s arms. You were falling asleep and telling me all this…You kinda talked yourself to sleep,”

                I wasn’t sure what to say. I wanted to take a shower and brush my teeth and…and…what? What did I want to do?

“I have an idea,” Proposed Louis, “We compromise.”

“W-what do you mean?”

“How about for one week we act as friends. Then for another week we get together. We are a couple. After these two weeks you can decide which way you want us to go,”

                I had to hand it to him, it was kind of a creative idea.

“And we can pretend last night didn’t happen?” I asked.

“What do you mean? Last night I stayed over because we had too much to drink. I slept on the couch and you were in your room,” he said with a twitch of a smile. That made me feel a lot better. I relaxed a lot, and said, “Okay we can give your idea a go. Today is Sunday, so we can start today being just friends, and start next Sunday being a…couple,”

                He beamed and said, “Alright friend! I have to get ready for work, so I have to go. And don’t forget, your interview is tomorrow at one o’clock. That is when my shift starts, so I can pick you up beforehand. My car has been in the shop for the past few days, but I get it back today,”

“Okay!” I said, happy that things we clear and I had an interview to look forward to tomorrow.

                Louis made his way for the door before I exclaimed, “Wait!”

He spun around and I said, “Can I have yo numba?”

We laughed as I gave him mine. He would text me, so I could have his, and with that he was gone. I hobbled  back to my room on crutches and picked my phone up, as it received a text that said, “Save my numba!” I smiled. Things were good. Things were going to be tested, but things were good.
