Pov Sage

"I should have known," Meri says as soon as we leave the room. I look at him questioningly. "I know you find horror films scary. I could have asked what kind of movie it was," he laughs. "It doesn't matter," I chuckle. A girl walks by. He is immediately distracted. "Heyy" she says flirtatiously to Meri. "Hey," he says, grinning as she walks past and looks at her for a moment. I push him against his shoulders. He looks at me questioningly. "You only do that when I'm not there. I don't need to see that flirting" I laugh and turn to walk out.

Meri grabs my arm and turns me around again. "Jealous," he grins. "To that bitch. Not really. Look, I don't want to be like that" I say. I wriggle free from his grasp and take a few steps back. I cough a few times. And then walk 'hip swaying' towards Meri. "Heyy" I say in a fake flirty way and then giggle as I walk by. Meri grabs my hips and lifts me up. "Okay do that. Never again," he laughs. I chuckle. "I didn't plan to either," I laugh.

"Okay, where are we going?" he asks as soon as we are outside. You can hear the music from different clubs through the streets. Mayec immediately gets a grin on his face. "Oh no no absolutely not" I say and shake my head wildly back and forth. "Oh come on just for a moment" he whines. I shake my head again. "Please" he continues whining. I sigh. "Okay, just for a moment," I say. "Yeah yeah. I'm going to the club with my best friend" he grins and puts an arm around my shoulder. I chuckle.

We walk into the club. The music pounds through the room. And the smell of alcohol hits my nose. Damn nasty smell. Hopefully this won't take too long...

I'm sitting at the bar. I do not drink alcohol. So I haven't had anything yet. Meri is dancing with a girl. How could it be different. I'm looking around the club when I feel an arm around my stomach. I turn around, startled. There's a boy looking at me, grinning. "Come on, babe, let's dance," he says in my ear. His breath stinks in the wind for an hour. Never heard of peppermint or chewing gum. "Fuck off" I say and push him away. "Oohh spicy," he says, grinning. I sigh and stand up. It's time to go. I walk to Meri while keeping an eye on the other boy. "Can we go?" I shout over the music to Meri. He looks my way. The girl with him pushes me back roughly. "What makes you think you can just steal him?" she shouts at me. Meri is so drunk as hell he barely notices. I just sigh like that. "Meri. Can we go" I say slimy and press a kiss on his cheek. He immediately startles a bit. I chuckle softly. Typical Meri. "Stay away from my boyfriend," I say bitchy. "Oh!" she shouts and gives Meri a bitch clap. She completely falls for it. Meri looks after her in surprise. I grab his arm and drag him towards the exit. The one boy is still at the bar. He wants to pull me towards him, but Meri has apparently managed to regain his attention. "Find your own girlfriend," he growls at the boy and puts an arm around me. I grin and pull Meri outside.

Phew I could let him walk him home. Without any problems. I gently open the door Meri and I walk inside to my room. "Are we going to sleep?" Meri asks. I nod. He takes off his pants and shirt and crawls into bed. I quickly put on my pajamas and then lie down next to him. "You know, Sage," he says as he turns to me. The alcohol smell that is still in his breath enters my nose, causing me to grimace for a moment. "What?" I ask. "You are a very beautiful girl. And very nice," he says determinedly. I look at him smiling. He really isn't in it. "You're drunk," I laugh. "Yes, but drunk people always tell the truth," he mumbles and then closes his eyes and falls asleep. I shake my head laughing and turn off the nightlight and fall asleep not long later.
