TUESDAY NIGHT(writers night)

Just as planned in both of their minds, bill and Kristen spent Tuesday night together. They spent it in Bobby's office. Bobby had to "do something with Taran," but it was all part of his plan. The whole casts plan actually; plan to get kristen and bill together.
"Bill..." Kristen smiled pulling something out of her bag. "Fireball!"
"FIREBALL!?" Bill roared with laughter. On their first writers night together bill had fireball whiskey and him and kristen shared it together.
They got drunk and that also became the night they hooked up.
So kristen didn't only bring it for sentimental value.
Bill grabbed it and took a swig. It burned his throat like hellfire. He made a face.
Kristen cracked up.
"Alright there Bill?" She laughed.
"Sorry...it's just been a while...." He shrugged.
"Come here." Kristen motioned for the bottle, when he gave it to her she downed like six shots of it. Bill applauded her.
"Had lots of practice?" He asked. She nodded,grinning.
"Alright, I guess we should work on a sketch..." She said. Bill nodded.
"I wish we could do the Californians again." Bill said with his old Devon accent.
"Or vogelchecks." Kristen said.
"Either way, we both kiss." He remarked. She widened her eyes, but then shook her head.
"I was thinking about maybe a football player telling his hardcore coach and team that he's gay." She suggested. Bill nodded.
"I would play the gay one." He announced.
"Yes, and maybe Kenan would be the coach?" Kristen laughed. Bill nodded and started typing, taking another swig of fireball. He was getting used to its burn.
"Tell me story kris." He said. Kristen smiled. During their times as cast members Kristen discussed with bill about writing a fiction book, but he didn't approve. But every occasional writers night she would go to his office and pitch story ideas to him.
"Once upon a time there was a girl, her name was Middy-"
"FUCK NO, MIDDY IS A GOD AWFUL NAME, NOOOO WAY!" Bill threw his hands up and Kristen cracked up.
"Her name was Laila, Laila didn't fit in that well. But then! One day, a boy named Eli moved in next door. They began talking, and Eli opened up Laila's world and showed her everything she was and everything she could become. Eli saved her, you could say. They were best friends. They did everything together. But stupid Laila fell deeply in love with Eli, and she couldn't stop. She screwed it up for them, and Eli ran away. He left and left her heartbroken.And she was never ever the same..." She trailed off, finishing the story meant to be about her and Bill.
"I bet Eli was in love with Laila too...she just couldn't see it." Bill said taking another drink and passing the bottle to kristen.
"She didn't know so their love was doomed forever!" She put her hand over her forehead dramatically.
Beck came in and interrupted their conversation.
"Hey sorry to interrupt...." He handed bill a script. "I wrote this for you and Kristen...would you guys mind rehearsing it?"
"Sure-" Kristen began but Beck was already out the door. Bill handed her a copy of the script.
"Let's begin." He said. "Kristen I have to talk to you."
Bill creased his eyebrows at the weird first line.
"Okay." Kristen singsonged, taking another drink of fireball.
"Im in love with you Kristen, always have been, always will be I- what the fuck is this?" Bill says in confusion. Kristen laughed trying to mask the disapointment.
"They're insane..." Was all could she managed. Bill took another shot of whiskey, smiled and kept reading.
"I'll always love you, so why bother not telling you? I want to spend the rest of my life with you, that idea I'm in love with too! Will you be my wife?" He laughed. He had a far off look in his eye, Kristen decided he was drunk. But then she decided she was drunk herself, so why not embrace it?
She got up and grabbed her phone, playing the song she always listened to when she was heartbroken over Bill. It was the first song he had ever heard her sing. She turned it all the way up.
"Dance with me!" She said taking his hands. She slung her arms around his neck, his around her waist and they danced. Swaying around in the small little office.
"I remember this song!" Bill exclaimed. "Medicine....by daughter?"
"Yep!"
"It was the first time I ever heard your voice...it was beautiful." He said in awe. Kristen smiled drunkenly.
"We kissed after that." She whispered. Bill lowered his voice,spinning her.
"I don't think I've ever been as in love with someone as I was with you then..." He whispered.
"Whenever I'm sad I go back there..." Kristen hushed pushing his hair back.
"I'm still there Kristen, god...I'm still there..." He whispered. And then they were kissing. A kiss so loving and passionate. There was no his mouth or her mouth, just their mouths intertwined. Their boozy tongues dancing around in each other's mouth. Kristen's fingers traced the line of Bills jawline and he made a circle with his thumb on her check over and over again. He picked her up and placed her on the filing cabinet, never losing the connection of their mouths. They didn't know how long this lasted, another song was playing, so it could have been two minutes, 5, maybe ten, it could have been a thousand sun lit days, they wouldn't be able to tell.
But they would be able to tell you how it felt. Which was simply wonderful.
But finally they stopped and just looked into each other's eyes.
"You're beautiful." Bill smiled. Kristen laughed.
"I'm tired...I brought a sleeping bag...two actually." She giggled.
"I'm glad." He said. He walked over to her bag and pulled out the two sleeping bags then laid them out on the floor. They snuggled into them, Kristen's head on Bills chest.
"That was fun." She whispered before falling into a deep, deep sleep. As bill laid there he thought about her taste and her fingers tracing his jaw. He wished it could be like that forever and ever. But that week would end and he would have to go back to Maggie, being forced into forgetting about Kristen.
But in that moment, her curled up on his chest, her taste still lingering in his mouth; he had her, and he needed to hold onto that moment, because it was going to be gone before he knew it.
"Kristen Carol Wiig...I am so, so deeply in love with you." He whispered into the dark.
