"Earth to Clara!" Sadie yelled, snapping her fingers.
I sputtered awake again.
"Crazy night?"
"Something like that."
"Your bagel is on the counter."
"Thanks."
"What happened? You got home really late."
Well, Sadie, after the game, Matt and I went to a bar a block away. We got sloppy drunk on the cheapest liquor in the joint, which lead to a terrible drunken dance, then we got kicked out because i threw up. We tripped and stumbled our way into a taxi, which lead to Matt planting the wettest kisses on my lips, cheek, nose, forehead, neck, collarbone, anywhere he could get to, and then some other places. We got the boot on Fifth Avenue in front of Tiffany & Co., passed out in Central Park, woke up at 1am, went to a bodega, got waters, sobered up, had some cleaner kisses. Upon the revelation that neither of us live alone, we took the subway back here, then he went home.
"We went to a bar."
"And got home at 2 in the morning?"
"You know how it is."
"Do they hand out hickies at the door?"
"What? Oh my God!"
"How did you not notice?"
I ran out of the kitchen and to the bathroom. Sure enough, there were some purple-crimson marks on my neck and collarbone.
"Matthew, when I get you!"
I hurriedly applied concealer, then ran back out and grabbed my bagel.
"Bye Sadie! See you after work!"
"See you later!"
After stepping outside, I called Matt, ready to yell at him.
"Hey, cutie. Miss me already?"
"Matthew."
"Uh oh, someone's mad."
"There are hickies on my neck."
"So?"
"Some of us have to work in an office and be professional. I can't let my coworkers think I had some wild hookup last night."
"Did you not?"
"No, Matt, we kept our clothes on."
"Sorry."
"What?"
"About the hickies. I'm sorry. I was drunk and stupid. I'm sorry."
"I'm not that mad. I was also drunk and stupid."
"I'm still sorry. It won't happen again."
"Matt..."
"Can I see you tonight?"
"I don't know... I'm kinda busy."
"It'll be quick, I just... I just want to see you sober."
"Alright."
"Bye, Clara."
"Bye, Matty."

"Clara, I'm heading out with some work friends. Don't burn the place down."
"I'm 22."
"Please."
"I gotchu."

"Hey beautiful."
"Matty!"
He picked me up, pulling me to his chest and spun me around. I giggled.
"I missed you."
"Missed me? You saw me last night!"
"That was so long ago."
"You're trouble."
"You love it."
He pressed his lips to mine and rested his forehead against my face. I sighed.
"Any plans for tonight?"
"Hang out with my favorite Canadian."
"I'm your favorite."
"I guess."
"Well, princess, I'm honored."
He kissed me again.
"How long will your roommate be out?"
"A while."

i feel like this needs to be said. this is specifically for any american readers, but is applicable to anyone.
i'm so sorry for what happened last night. as an american, i am disappointed in my country. to see millions of people vote for this monster. it hurts.
i know this is going to hard. there's no way of sugar coating this that wouldn't be blatant lies. this will be hard. this will be arduous. but we have to keep going. if you give up, you let this beast win.
stay alive. no matter how difficult, stay alive. he wants you dead. don't let him win.
help others. no matter how difficult, help others. he wants us to suffer. don't let him win.
be brave. no matter how difficult, be brave. he wants us to be afraid. don't let him win.
be strong. be kind. don't let a criminal tell you you don't deserve your spot on planet earth, because trust me, you do. you are amazing and smart and talented and i would rather lay down my life than let you believe otherwise.
this will be hard for all of us.
let's make it easier for those we love.
with all love and charity,
azure <3
p.s. if you voted for trump, get off my page. i refuse to let my work be enjoyed by anyone who voted against my safety.
