It was the best time of my life

Chapter 12

I'm a little drunk again. And Blondie is currently sitting on my knee. I'm not entirely sure how that came about but I'm not complaining. She smells nice. Like flowers. My head is resting on her back and I'm more than happy with this. I feel her left hand take hold of mine, her fingers intertwining with my fingers. She is singing along softly with whatever song is playing at the moment and her voice is pretty. I think I must have dozed off slightly as I jump when I feel her stand up. I'm still gripping her hand so she looks at me and smiles.
"Can I have my hand back?" she says, grinning.
"Nope" I mumble.
"Well, I need the bathroom" she says. I scowl jokingly and let go. She puts the cup she was holding in her other hand on the table and wanders off. Seconds later Mike plonks himself down next to me.
"Is that the girl you were telling me about?" he says, almost bouncing with anticipation at my answer. I nod. He bounces up and I'm too drunk to stop him. I close my eyes again, and raise the bottle of beer I'm holding to my lips, taking a big swig. I wonder if Blondie will come back or was it just an excuse to go. I sigh. She probably doesn't feel the same way anyway.
I'm struggling to keep my eyes open so tell the guys I'm going and thank them for inviting me. I get as far as the end of the corridor when I hear a voice shout "hey." I stop and with some difficulty manage to turn around. Blondie is walking quickly towards me.
"Are you leaving me?" she says, grinning. I nod.
"I'm really tired and more than a little drunk and I just need sleep" I mumble.
"Which floor is your room on?" she asks.
"Next one down" I say. I feel her hand take mine as she leads me down the stairs, me rather unsteadily. We turn into the corridor and I lead her to my door.
"Here we are" I mumble.
"Are you sure you've got the right room?" she asks, looking very puzzled. I nod and pull out my key then open the door.
"Which is your room?" I mumble as I away on my feet.
"That's the really funny part. This is my room too."
My head shoots up in surprise.
"What's your name?" I ask.
"Charlie. Don't tell me your Tony. I thought I was sharing with a girl. Toni with an I."
"I thought I was sharing with a guy so yeah. Now I'm confused. But at least I know your name now. Calling you Blondie all the time was annoying" I say, a smile breaking out on my face.
"Well I wasn't any better. I didn't know your name either so I came up with cute guy" Charlie says, a big smile on her face too. We go inside OUR place and I stumble towards the bathroom. I must have misjudged my steps as I fall and land on the floor outside the bathroom door, on my ass, laughing my head off.
Charlie is standing there, shaking her head and laughing. She holds her hand to pull me up but I decide to pull her down to the floor with me instead. She's laughing so hard, tears start rolling down her face, which makes me laugh even more. We are laughing so hard it starts to hurt after a few minutes so I try to stand again. I manage to do so and reach out my hand for Charlie to take. She does and instead of pulling me back down to the floor, I pull her towards me. She looks up into my eyes and kisses me with more passion than any kiss I've ever had before.
