Do You Want To Go Out?

I knew Eric was upset so I stayed away from him for the rest of the day. Around four I texted him to see if he wanted to go out for drinks. He replied back yes so I told him I'd pick him up around six.

After thinking about it, I decided that I wouldn't drink much tonight. Of course I always say that. 

I head over to Eric's place around five thirty and knock. He answers, eyes already red. "I changed my mind. Let's just have drinks here."

"Alright." I head inside and sit down. Drinks are already sitting on the kitchen table along with a small tray of food. "Do you want me to order pizza?" I ask. "We could eat it while we drink."

"I have pizza in the freezer if you want me to put one in." sniffed Eric. "I really don't care if I eat or not. I just wanna get drunk."

We sit around tossing back drinks and eating pizza. Eric is funny when he's tipsy. We wind up telling stupid jokes and funny stories. He suddenly leans over and kisses me. "What?" I ask. "Y-y-you mean that?" I'm baffled. He does it again so I realize that he's mad at Gene and trying to get back at him. My booze soaked brain doesn't register that I need to say no.

"Come on and I'll show you what Gene's missing." he slurs. We get up but I manage to fall into the coffee table and knock everything into the floor. Drinks go everywhere, soaking both me and Eric. 

I look at him and immediately throw up all over him. "Sorry. "I mumble.

He tosses me a towel and points towards the bathroom. As I'm showering, he tosses my clothes in the washing machine and starts cleaning up the mess. 

Just as I come out of the shower in just a towel, Gene and Paul show up looking for him. "Shit!" I mumble. "If this doesn't look suspicious."

Of course Eric doesn't help matters at all by just being in his boxers. He also has my clothes in hand when he opens the door. "What? I'm busy." he says.

"Are those Tom's?" asks Paul. "Wanna tell me why?"

"We were eating pizza and drinking. He puked all over both of us and I washed his clothes while he showered."

"Okay then. Where's Tom?" asked Gene.

"The bathroom in my bedroom. ALONE!!!!"

I come out in Gene's robe, grab my clothes and go back to get dressed. I know I have some explaining to do when I come back out. Luckily Paul and Gene both believe me.
