TWO STORMS COLLIDE

Party Time

I stared into the mirror on last time and sighed, my hair just wasn't working today. I smoothed out a few wrinkles on my dress and double checked my make up was OK before heading out the door.

Rosa was in her car out the front waiting for me, her smokey eyes meeting mine as I made my way down the steps.

I opened the car door and slid into the front seat beside her, kissing her cheek.

Rosa: You look so cute babe.
Me: Thanks, you do too.
Rosa: Are you nervous?
Me: Hmm let's see... I'm about to go to Captian Holt's house. No I'm not nervous at all (sarcastic)
Rosa: Look, it'll be fine. Holt loves you. And so do I, you're the most amazing person I've ever met.
Me: OK calm down, I'm not that great.
Rosa: Really?! You are the one person I didn't even realised I needed in my life until you showed up.
Me: (blushing) Wow really?
Rosa: Yes baby, you are so beautiful and mesmerising, I love everything about you.

I sat back in my seat, blushing more than ever as she started up the engine. We cruised along while singing our hearts out to 90s tunes.

We walked up the steps to Holt's House hand in hand before being greeted in by his husband Kevin. He was a humble gentleman, congratulating Rosa on finding someone. I blushed once again as we went inside.

It was so nice to see the squad outside of work again, all dressed up in their smart gear, although Jake of course wore his skinny jeans, quoting 'Who owns smart trousers in this day and age?', receiving an eye roll from Terry.

I went and grabbed Rosa and I a glass of wine each and returned to find Charles and Gina asking her a million questions about us two.

Gina: So have you guys done it?
Charles : Gina please, too much! But I have to know, is she a good cook? I have always wanted a cooking buddy, someone to share all my dearest cookbooks with!

I smiled to myself as I approached my girl and friends. We got so hammered this night, singing karaoke at the tops of our lungs and dancing all night long.

I woke up at 11.10am to lots of shuffling and opened my eyes to see Kevin holding a glass of water out to me. He had the right idea, my head was banging!

I slowly rose from my laying position to find myself on a furry rug in Holt's lounge. Kevin handed me a paracetamol tablet before smiling to himself, patting me on the shoulder and walking away.

I scouted around the house, holding onto everything I could possibly find within reach to support myself. My head was spinning. I couldn't find Rosa at first but when I did I couldn't stop giggling.

I found her passed out drunk in a washing basket, still holding an empty beer bottle...
