"Rise and shine sleepy head. I made you coffee," Dave said as I opened my eyes and saw him standing with two cups of coffee. I sat up and moved over a bit so he could sit. Nothing else had happened last night besides a couple more kisses and another drunken make out session that ended with me going upstairs and passing out. Dave sat down and handed me a cup. I smelled it before taking a sip. I loved the smell of coffee.

"Good morning. How was the couch?" I asked as he took a sip.

"I'm too old to be sleeping on couches. My back hurts a bit," Dave replied as I heard a toilet flush. My eyes went wide and Dave looked over at the door.

"I hope to god it's just Abby," I said as I got up and walked over to the door. I poked my head out as Abby walked out of her room.

"Well someone's up a little late. Dave is going to kill you if you're late," she said as she walked over to me.

"Is it just you or did you bring Taylor home with you?" I asked as she stood in front of me.

"He dropped me off. Why? Did you do something bad? Why won't you let me come in?" she asked.

"Because I'm here," Dave said and pulled open the door. Abby's eyes went wide when she saw Dave. She then looked over at me and I realized I was only wearing panties and a tank top.

"Are you the pink lump that was on the couch when I came home?" Abby asked as I walked over to my jeans and put them on.

"That was me. I stole her blanket while we were watching Howard The Duck. Hi I'm Dave. You must be Abby," he replied as he held out his hand and they shook.

"I am. So why are you in my house?" Abby asked slightly confused.

"Jared dumped me and I didn't want to be alone. So Dave offered to come keep me company while you were out and we got drunk so I couldn't drive him back to his van. So he stole my pink blanket and crashed on the couch," I replied as I joined them back at the door with my coffee.

"Queen b come with me to get coffee. We need girl talk. Excuse us Dave," Abby said as she pulled me out of my room. I gave Dave a look as she pulled me downstairs and he just shrugged. I sat down at the table when we got into the kitchen.

"What the fuck happened last night?" she asked.

"Nothing. Nothing happened besides two drunken make out sessions," I replied. I could hear Dave talking to someone.

"Don't do it. I'm telling you now not to do it. You're going to get hurt and I know that from experience. Britt I know you might not listen but think about it before you dive in. I know it's Dave but you could really get hurt. I don't want to see that happen to you," Abby said as she poured a cup of coffee and sat down at the table with me.

"I know I could but I don't know. I don't want to ruin a family and a marriage. I also don't want to get hurt but I want to see what happens. He's such a good kisser," I said.

"Stop thinking about that. How are you guys going to see each other? He's always going to go home to her," Abby said and I knew she was right. He was always going to go home to her after being with me.

"We'll figure something out. I'm going back upstairs and getting ready for work," I replied and headed back upstairs. I walked into my room and saw Dave sitting on the bed.

"How'd girl talk go?" Dave asked as I closed the door.

"Meh it was ok. When do we have to be at the studio?" I asked as I walked over to him.

"We're not working today. Nate ad Pat are baby sitting and Chris has to take the kids to the doctor. We have the day off. I got an uber coming though so I can get my van. You can come with me if you want or I can just come back here," he replied as I sat down on the other side of the bed.
