Good for you

Chapter seven: designated driver

Today is friday, Mariias last day of class. Mr and Mrs stewart came back home from their trip last night so Mariia would be able to study for her exams.

Mariia stood in front of her enormous closet that was more than half empty since she didn't own enough close to fit in it. She chose a red plaid skirt that was tighter than it was flowy, a black long-sleeve shirt, and a pair of knee-high boots. She knew she was overdressing for school but she also had plans to go out with Sarah afterward.

Mariia had grabbed her stuff for school and started to head downstairs when she bumped into Jacob who was also leaving his room. Mariia hadn't seen or spoken to Jacob since the night his friends came over. They never talked about Liz or the heartbreak that made him stop dating.

Jacob stood eyeing Mariia up and down. Mariia felt like he was undressing her with his eyes or that she might just undress for him.

Jacob finally looks mariia in the eyes, "God, you are so hot" he says licking his lips.

Blank

Mariia can no longer function or remember what she was doing. Jacob leans close to her ears and whispers, "I think that's my new favorite outfit".

"that's not very friendly of you Jacob," Maria says taking a step back but ending up against her bedroom door.

Jacob takes a step closer, putting his hand on the door, and leans into her "I mean this in the friendliest way possible, I want to fuck the shit out of you right now, later, tonight and tomorrow"

Something happens between mariias leg. A heartbeat.

Mariia doesn't even know if she's breathing or not anymore. She has to keep reminding herself that Jacob doesn't do relationships anymore and that HE chose to be friends.

She walks away leaving Jacob standing at her bedroom door without saying a word. Once she's far enough she lets out a huge breathe.

---------------------------------------------------

Mariia and Sarah get back to their apartment after doing some 'congratulations shopping' for passing their exams.

They planned to go out so Sarah heads to her room and Mariia goes to her bathroom and fixes her hair and makeup a little.

About an hour later Sarah walks out of her own bathroom in a pink skin-tight, silk, spaghetti strap dress. "damnit why are you always outdressing me?" mariia asks watching sarah as she reaches for a nude lipstick.

"well you're prettier so I HAVE to dress better duh" sarah says and they both start laughing.

"don't forget your purse and ID this time" mariia says while reaching for her purse and keys

sarah grabs her purse and follows mariia out the door "okay mom"

Mariia decides to drive since she had the most gas in her car. They're going to a popular bar that sarah's been talking about for weeks.

Once they get to the bar they order some shots and get a booth to sit at.

"so tell me whats going on with jacob?" sarah slides into the booth sitting across from mariia.

"there's nothing to tell. he doesn't date. and he already has a friend with benefit so we're friends" mariia said it so quick hoping sarah wouldn't catch on

but sarah was listening too intensely to miss any detail, "he has a what??"

"a friend with benefits. Liz, and shes way prettier" mariia says taking a shot wincing at the feeling of liquor burning her throat.

"stop it. there's no one prettier than you. You don't need him, we're here to have fun. Lets take these shots and go dance." Sarah says taking her first shot to catch up with mariia.

They were just about to finish taking their shots when a bartender brings over two more.

"sorry, we didn't order any more shots" sarah says clarifying so she doesn't get charged extra. "they're coming from the two gentlemen at the bar" the bartender points to two guys who look mid twenties looking mariia and sarahs direction.

"free shots? you don't have to tell me twice" mariia says grabbing one and raising it in the direction of the two strangers, sarah does the same. 5 mins later the two guys walked towards sarah and mariia's booth.

"Hey, I'm Jeremy and this is chris. and we think you guys are absolutely gorgeous" Now that they're closer mariia can study their features. Jeremy is tall with blonde curly hair and adorable baby blue eyes, while chris has straight brown hair with green eyes and not as tall as jeremy.

mariia and sarah look at each other with approval.

"why don't you guys have a seat?" sarah says scooting over to make room for chris and mariia does the same for jeremy.

"I'm sarah and this is mariia. we were just about to get on the dance floor. wanna join?"

Both guys agreed and they all went to the dance floor. Mariia is definitely drunk so she's a lot wilder than she normally is.

Mariia dances with jeremy closes. rubbing her body against his feeling his muscles tense as she wraps her arm around his neck swaying side to side.

Mariia feels like they danced all night because she checks the time and it's 1:35 AM. Mariia and sarah gave jeremy and chris their numbers to call them. They offered to give the girls a ride home but they declined.

Mariia knew her and sarah were way too drunk to drive but they both had really bad anxiety about strangers driving them home so they both went through their phone for potential people to drive them home.

Mariia gets to J in her phone... the first name there is jacob. Without hesitation or question she called him.

It took 4 rings for him to answer.

"hello?" jacob says in a sleepy voice that ALMOST made mariia let out a moan.

"Marii what's going on? are you okay?" jacob asked still sounding sleepy.

"Yea I'm drunken and we can't drive because we're drunken together" mariia says slurring her words

"where are you at? I'll come get you, don't drive." jacob says kind of demanding

mariia shares her location to jacob and he's there in 15 mins. He looks like he just rolled out of bed and mariia cant help but find everything about him attractive. it's like the alcohol heightened her attraction to him.

"Thank you. we didn't do a good job of thinking this through" mariia whispers because sarah somehow fell asleep in the back seat.

"it's okay, I like being woken up at 2 am to help a drunk friend out" jacob says smiling at marii and she cant help but get butterflies at his smile.

They get to their apartment and jacob tries to help both of them get to the elevator and into their apartment safely.

He steers them both to the nearest bedroom and put them both in the bed covering them up.
