MY GIRL // JUAN MANUEL CORREA

"Ebonyyyyy."

Arthur Leclerc sang in a slurred tone, his eyes barely open as he leant against her front door with his forehead.

Small hiccups left his soft lips as he grinned, the alcohol that was in his system making it difficult for him to stand.

His friends swayed lightly from their place behind him, whilst his fingers fumbled to find the spare key that he had created for her apartment.

After a couple of seconds, he was able to locate the silver key that would unlock the door, sticking it in to the lock and twisted it, his tongue partially sticking out of his mouth as he concentrated as much as he could.

He cheered in victory as his ears heard the door unlock, pushing the door open and stumbling through, waving his arm so that his friends would join him.

He dropped his jacket on the floor, kicking off his shoes whilst his friends did the same as him, copying him.

"Is he asleep?"

Liam Lawson whispered, a giddy drunken smile on his lips. He wasn't sure whose it was that they were in, assuming that Arthur's friend must be asleep because it was four in the morning.

The group of friends rounded the corner of the hallway carefully and as quietly as they could, occasionally with the odd sound of pain as one of them would walk in to something in the dark.

The friends halted in their steps as a blonde haired woman came in to view, sitting on her sofa in the middle of the room with a blanket wrapped around her frame.

She didn't glance their way, since her gaze was solely on the television in front of her as she was watching a romantic comedy, but they knew that she knew that they were there.

Because she was giving Arthur the middle finger.

"See! She's the best!"

Arthur hiccuped, stumbling over to her sofa and wrapping his arms around her frame, his hand squishing her face whilst kissing her cheek.

The boys watched as she lifted one of her hands up to slap his head, with the television remote in her grasp.

The group of boys stood still in the middle of the room, dumbfounded, whilst their drunkeness was making them sway more, having to lean on the arm of her sofa in order for them to stay on balance.

"Drinks are in the cupboard, sit down over there and do not distrupt me. She's the man is one of my favorite movies and I will murder anybody who ruins it."

Ebony Moretti spoke towards the friends of her best friends, seeing some of them stagger their way towards her kitchen cupboards whilst others carefully sat down on her sofa.

"Yes ma'am."

The drivers muttered as they laid their bodies down, whilst Arthur climbed over the back of the sofa so that he could sit beside his best friend.

"Would you like to drink with us?"

A black haired boy with tanned skin grinned at the woman, his eyes occasionally squeezing shut as the world would spin due to his alcohol intake.

Ebony turned her head towards the boy, her eyebrows raised as she gave him an unamused expression, seeing his grin growing as she was looking at him.

The Moretti girl released a disgruntled scoff, leaning forward to grab a hold of the television remote, turning the television off since she knew that she was going to be constantly disturbed.
