How To Stay Afloat (BxB)

Chapter 43: Jumping bridges and running from the police

After I come back from the toilet Austin and Harry switched seats so Austin can sit next to Noah instead of me.

What the fuck? He'd rather sit next to that asshole?

Instead of walking to the table I go straight to the bar and order three shots for myself. I'm gonna get drunk.

After paying for the drinks I grab the first one and drink it.

"Rough night?" Someone next to me asks me.

I turn over and find a slightly familiar looking female face. I know her, but don't remember where I met her.

"Oh it's you! Sam?" She asks me.

"Uh. Do we know each other?" I ask her confused.

She grabs one of my drinks and downs it. "Hello? I thought you'd remember me after sharing a line together." She says.

Oh. Fuck. Yes. I remember her.

"Uhm. Mila?" I ask her hesitantly.

"Bingo." She says smiling. "You never called me like you promised." She brings up.

I scratch my head. "Yeah I had a lot on my mind last weekend and completely forgot about your number in my phone." I admit.

She nods. "You seem like you're in a different mood this time." She says.

I chuckle. "Yeah. You could say that."

"Who are you here with?" She asks me. "Are these your friends?" She points towards our table.

"Yep." I confirm.

"Is your boyfriend also here?" She asks.

I snap my eyes open. "Shh. Don't say that so loudly!" I say to her. I don't remember coming out to her. "Yeah, he is."

She squints her eyes, scanning the people by my table. "The one with the dark skin?" She asks me.

I shake my head. "No, the one next to him." I explain.

She nods. "Nice. You are a cute couple I guess." She says.

She's super high.

"Meet my boyfriend." She says and leans back, revealing a tall, pretty lanky guy who seems to be high enough to fly over mount everest. "I know. I could do better." She says.

I gasp.

"I'm kidding. I just met him like ten minutes ago, that was a joke." She says.

He just looks at her spaced out, not even realizing what she just said.

She takes my last drink and downs it in a swift motion and then turns to the bartender. "Four more of these, please." She orders.

When it comes to paying she tells me she doesn't have any money on her.

I roll my eyes and pay for the drinks. At least they are cheap here.

"Cheers." She says and slides two of the drinks over to me.

We shot both drinks.

"So, did you pass the drug test?" She asks me.

"Huh?" I ask her confused.

"You said your parents would make you take a drug test."

I chuckle. "Oh yeah, no, they didn't."

She nods. "That's great."

I frown. What am I doing here with her? "Yeah, uhm, I should get back over to my friends."

She smiles sweetly. "Yeah okay, just leave me here sitting alone with a bunch of creepers."
