"Here we go! Okay so Sam is throwing a party tonight at her uncles place, you trying to stay the night it's Friday ?" I considered but remembered I had work in the morning,

"I have work early in the morning. I'll get an Uber back?" Lauren smiled and hugged me,

"You have no idea how much I love drinking with you!" I pushed her off of me and smiled,
