I knock on Ethan's door. His house looks pretty big from the outside, I haven't really been on this side of London yet.
Oh god what if I didn't put the address right on the GPS?? Or what if he gave me the wrong address on purpose just to make me look stupid?? He wouldn't do that right? I thought Ethan liked me??
While I was thinking of all these crazy scenarios the front door swings open and to my relief Ethan is on the receiving side.
"Hey! I'm glad you came!!" He said while giving me a welcoming hug
"Of course I would come!" When I finally let go I realize that we're not the only ones in the room.
"Come here I want you to meet some people"
What the fuck is going on in here?? Why is there so many people?
I suddenly didn't feel special anymore.
I follow Ethan through the crowd and got introduced to some of his friends and to my surprise most of the people here were guys.
Once we reach the dinning room i see the table is set up with lines of red cups filled with alcohol. It almost looks like they were playing a game.
"What are they doing?" I try screaming over the loud music so Ethan can hear me
"Beer pong"
I look back at the game observing the purpose of it.
"WE NEED ONE MORE PLAYER!" Some random guy screamed from one side of the table
"Wanna play?" Ethan asks me
"No thanks, I don't know how" I admit kind of embarrassed since everyone else seemed familiar to the game but me
"Simple all you have to do is try getting that ping pong ball into the opponents cup, if u get it in they have to drink the alcohol. Whoever has the most alcohol left in there cups by the end of the game wins."
Feeling brave I walk up to the table and scream "I'll do it!" Everyone in the crowd cheers me on. I am partnered with some random guy, I just hope he's better at this game than I am.
*you really shouldn't be drinking this much, don't forget that you have to drive home after this.* the voice inside my head seems a lot more cautious right now but I really don't care
I'm a lot better at this than I thought! After winning two rounds of beer pong I feel like I can conquer the world! Maybe that's just the alcohol talking but I feel great!
Right when I'm about to go for another round Ethan pulls me away from the table
"I think she's had enough to drink guys, sorry" as soon as he said this everyone started booing him.
He brings me to the kitchen and settles me down on a chair, it's a lot harder to walk when you're drunk. I find a red cup on the table and grab it for myself. Right when I'm about to gulp the rest of the drink, Ethan takes it away from me and hands me a glass of water instead.
"You're no fun!" I say looking up at him
"I'm only trying to look after you" he smiles and takes a seat next to me
My head starts pounding after all the alcohol I've composed so I rest my head on the cold kitchen table. The cold surface feels good on my heated forehead
After a few silent moments Ethan speaks first "You're pretty good for a beginner"
I'm to tired to look up but I smile at his comment of encouragement.
"Thanks" is all I manage to say
"Look I don't mean to sound rude but, give me your car keys"
My head shoots up
"What why??" I just bought my car last week!
"At the rate that you're at I don't think it's very safe for you to drive home tonight" he says sounding sincere
I look at the wooden kitchen table debating wether or not I should argue with him or just hand him my keys.
I decide to go with the second option mostly because I was too drunk to pick a fight right now.
I reach inside my purse and drop my car keys that's connected to my house keys into Ethan's hands.
"Thank you" he says with a sweet smile but I just laid my head back down on the cold table top. I don't really feel like having a conversation right now, all I wanna do is sleep.
"Come on" he says gesturing a hand towards me "I'll take you upstairs into the guest room"
I grab his hand to help me balance myself off the chair but even with his help I end up tripping and landing face first on the floor. Ouch.
I wince at the pain and start rubbing my hand over my forehead which I'm pretty sure will be bruised tomorrow morning
"Oh god are you okay?" before I could even respond he scoops me off the floor and carries me upstairs bridal style
I lean my head against his chest and listen to his steady heartbeat as I slowly start drifting into a heavy sleep.
