Ever heard of reverse catfishing?
A drunk night out with her housemates, leads Odessa to get dared to send Liam, the hottest guy on campus a kinky message but he also happens to be the popular playboy who does not know her name.
A month later, he...
"You know, I'm glad I met you Odessa Vecker." Jessica throws her arm over my shoulder, clearly drunk.
"Me too Jessica Beer." I slap a soft kiss on her cheek, drunk as her.
We're hiding on the balcony downstairs as Felix gets us non-alcoholic drinks. He insures he will spike with a lot of alcohol because this party is far from being over.
"The new year is 40 seconds away, here you go ladies." Felix hands us glasses that look like lemonade. "Don't worry, papa helped me add tequila," he assures as my phone rings.
I pull it out and to my surprise, Liam's name is on the screen.

We've never called each other before which means I've never heard his voice and with good reason too. But curiosity gets the best of me so I press the green button.
"Hello?" I move to the corner for privacy.
"Vecker? I'm not too late right?" There's a lot of background noise but his deep, rough voice is clear and melts into my ear.
Christ, it's as smooth as honey.
"Late for what?" I raise my voice when everyone in the house begins counting from 10.
"To do the countdown with you," he screams to overpower the noise in his background.
"Not really." I'm not really sure what else to say.
I'm drunk and his voice is making me feel fuzzy and warm despite the cold breeze slapping hair over my cheek.
"5, 4 3..." my family shouts.
"...2,1! Happy New Year!!!" Liam screams along as the night sky fills with fireworks.
"Happy New Year Lee." I laugh when I hear his friends try to kiss him.
"Thanks Vecker." I know he's smiling because I am too. "I'm glad I brought the new year with you."
His statement makes my breath hitch.
"You are?" I suck on the straw and leave it on half.
"Yeah dude!" he's still shouting. "And get this, I know you can't drink so I'm holding a tequila shot in your honor."
"Actually I'm having tequila disguised as lemonade so I guess we're having the same thing."
Why does that make me smile harder?
"Then, cheers!" I hear him down his shot as I finish the rest of my drink. "Damn, that's hot." He hisses the same time I clear my throat.
"I'm definitely starting the year with a hangover." I hear my mama call for us. "I have to go but text me pictures of your night, I can't wait to hear all about it."
It sounds like they are having a wild night and I'm so jealous.
"You too Vecker. I want to see proof that you cleared 2 wine crates in 11 days." His warm laugh sounds too amazing. "Goodbye and once again happy new year!"
