seeing him

"What happened last night?" I ask while pouring myself a cup of coffee.

"A lot." She responds while laughing.

"Ha ha ha." I take an Advil out of the cabinet. "How come you don't look like this?"

"Because I know when to stop drinking."

"Please explain."

"Five shots equal a full cup for me. All I need is a full cup."

"I didn't even have that many."

"Honey you had about seven or eight cups. Do the math."

"That explains why I have a killer headache."

"Mhm hmm. Also explains why you were grinding all over this guy."

"What?"

"You and this mystery guy couldn't keep your hands off of each other."

"I don't recall."

"Of course you don't. You were wasted."

"Was he hot?"

"Yes."

"Man I could've gotten his number."

"Too bad. You might want to check your phone, though."

"Why?" I drag out the word while a smirk appears on her face.

"Just go get it." She shrugs and turns around and go to the bedroom to get my phone. I come back into the kitchen to plop down on a barstool.

"Mark." I say and she laughs. "What does he want?" I sigh.

"You obviously."

"Did you read it?"

"No. I just saw he texted you."

"He wants to​ see me today."

"Mhm hmm." She smiles and I smack her arm. "I'm sorry I forgot you only have eyes for Jake."

"Shut up." I roll my eyes and she laughs. "So should I meet up with him?"

"I don't know. It's your decision. I think you should. This guy obviously really likes you."

"But sometimes when we talk it gets awkward."

"Okay and that means you should talk more." When I was about to reply my phone starts to ring. I look to see it's Mark.

"Holy shit it's Mark!" I squel while throwing Kirsten my phone.

"Answer the damn phone Ashley!" She throws it back to me and I take a deep breath before answering.

"Hello." I place it on speaker as Kirsten smiles.

"Hey Ashley." Mark chuckles.

"How are you?"

"I'm great. What about you?"

"I'm fine."

"I haven't seen you around in ages."

"Yeah."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm great."

"How are things going with Jake?" Kirsten coughs and I smack her arm.

"There fine."

"Who's that?"

"Just my friend. Remember Kirsten?"
