"Should've seen him Jordy, ain't seen him smile like that since he got drafted!" Dave told Jordan as we sat in a secluded room. It was just us on the couches talking as everyone else were doing various things. "Shut up!" I rolled my eyes. "Smiling like it was Christmas." David laughed goofily causing Jordan to laugh with him. "Man." I smacked my lips.

"Don't even do that O, it's ok if you like her I just gotta get on yo head about it." David mushed my head. I rolled my eyes and sitting back on the couch. "Relax Kells." Jordan teased. "Kelly!" I turned my attention to the girl that's had my attention the whole night.

"Do you want to dance?" She drunkenly asked, stumbling over to me. "Yeah sure." I stood stabilizing her, hearing snickering from Jordan and Dave since I agreed right away. "I'll be back." I told them getting nods from both of them.

Kylie grabbed my hand leading me through sweaty bodies to an unoccupied corner. She wrapped her arms around my neck catching the rhythm of the loud music. "You sure your boyfriend is okay with this?" I joked in her ear not really caring about him anyway just wanting to hear her answer.

"I don't care." She shook her head. Kylie was obviously intoxicated as she lazily hung on to me. "Yes you do. You're just drunk right now." I chuckled holding onto her waist to keep her steady. "I'm not drunk." She giggled. "You definitely are Kylie. It's alright I'll take care of you." I smiled.

"I'm 19 I can take care of myself." She poked my chest. "I know mamas but for right now I'm looking after you." We swayed to the music even though it wasn't a slow song playing. "I like when you say that." She confessed with a lazy smile. "Say what?" I smirked looking at her dead in the eyes.

"What you just called me." Kylie blushed not meeting my eyes. "Oh mamas?" I acted clueless. She nodded with a smile leaning into me. "I'll tell you what, if you let me watch after you tonight I'll take you home and when you wake up I'll make breakfast. But that's only if you still don't care what your boyfriend thinks." I told her in her ear. "Are you ready to go now?" She asked in my ear after her moment of pondering.

I nodded. "I was ready to go before I got here." I answered. She nodded at my answer. "My house or your house?" She asked. "Do you want to go to my house and I take you home after breakfast?" I asked. "Yeah that sounds good." She grabbed my hand and proceeded to lead me towards the exit.

She was stopped by Kendall who wanted to speak to her about something while I stood behind her. I still held her waist subconsciously not wanting her to fall into anything in her drunken state.

"Kelly!" Kylie rose her voice to get my attention after a few minutes. "Yeah." I leaned down to hear her. "I'm ready whenever you are." Kylie gripped my bicep so I could lead her to my car.

Kylie was knocked out in my passenger seat by the time I reached the house. I got out quietly and opened her door maneuvering her out of the car and carrying her bridal style into the house.

As I reached my room I laid her on my bed in darkness and then turning on my light. "Kylie." I called her name softly and lightly shaking her. All she did was wrap her arms around my waist in her sleep. I sighed stumped on what to do.

"Kylie." I tried again this time getting her to open her eyes but immediately squint at the bright light. "I'm gonna get you some clothes so you can change into something comfortable then you can go back to sleep." I told her to which she nodded.

I entered my closet grabbing two pairs of shorts a shirt for Kylie and a tank top for me. "Here you go Kylie." I handed her the clothes while I went back into my closet to change and give her privacy. I entered my bathroom that was connected to my closet and brushed my teeth as well as washed my face.

As I went back into my room I noticed Kylie still had make-up on but was knocked out yet again, her clothes neatly folded at the end of my bed. I took a ponytail holder from my wrist and put her hair in a bun the best I could before carrying her into my bathroom and setting her on the counter. I got baby wipes from my cabinet and wiped off as much make up as I could.

She was drunkenly swaying in her sleep so I had to hold her up against my mirror to take the rest off. I smiled to myself and carried her back to my bed and tucking her in. Grabbing her and my phones and plugging them up to charge I checked to see if she was sleeping peacefully.

After taking care of Kylie I went around the house locking up and turning out lights that were still on. My final stop was the kitchen grabbing a water bottle and aspirin for Kylie in the morning as well as a granola bar. Finally I grabbed a blanket and pillows from the hall closet and heading back into my room setting everything on my nightstand and spreading out on my futon a few meters away from my bed letting sleep find me soon after.

"Wake up." Kylie's voice whined as my shoulder was shaken. I opened my eyes and blinked to see Kylie seated by my face. "Finally! Where's the bathroom?" She asked. "It's connected to my closet. I'll show you." I threw my blanket off of me and stood. I nodded my head to tell her to follow me.

As I showed her the bathroom I noticed it was the crack of dawn so we still had a few hours to sleep. Sitting on my closet floor I waited for her to finish so she wouldn't think I left.

"Did you wipe off my makeup last night?" Kylie asked startling me out of my trance. "Oh, yeah. I'm sorry if that was imposing on your personal space. I just didn't want your pores to get clogged." I scratched behind my neck explaining to her nervously. She sat across from me Indian style between my outstretched legs.

"It's okay Kelly." She smiled softly. "I was just going to say thank you." She finished. I nodded feeling myself get nervous around her for the first time. "Why were you sleeping on your couch? That can't be comfortable." She asked. "I wanted to respect your boundaries, I didn't want to make you uncomfortable." I shrugged.

"Kelly it's your bed you should sleep in it." She stood and reached her hand down for me to take. "Are you sure?" She pulled me up with her. "Yes." She answered. She led the way back into my room and getting back into my bed, patting the place beside her.

"Do you even remember last night?" I asked her. I faced her on my side to take in her makeup free face. I smiled subconsciously not even fighting it. "A little. I remember when we first got there, after that not so much." She shook her head.

"Don't worry I took care of you mamas." I told her. She smiled softly with a tint of a blush on her cheeks. "You did promise breakfast with me in the morning though so get some more rest." I smirked. "I have a breakfast to cook when we get up." I followed up.

"Can you even cook?" She joked. I gasped in playful contempt. "I'm from New Orleans it's in my blood to know how to cook." I told her to which she looked confused to. "I thought you were from Texas like Jordan?"

"I'm originally from New Orleans. I moved to Texas when I was 9 because of Hurricane Katrina and the next year is when I met Jordan." I explained the story. She nodded. "Do you ever go back?" "Yeah my grandmother still lives there so I visit whenever I can." I answered. "Maybe if we're still best friends I'll take you one day." I added. "Seriously my best friend Jordyn is going to kill you if she hears you say that." She giggled.

"Your best friends name is Jordan too. It's almost like we were destined for each other." I laughed. She rolled her eyes at my joke. "I've tried warning you she's territorial." Kylie told me. I shrugged. "So am I." I smiled. "Go back to sleep Kelly." She closed my eyelids with two of her fingers. "You're no fun." I pouted. "Goodnight." She said softly. "Night Kylie." I responded listening to her breathing evening out before letting sleep find me also.
