The Red Star

Chapter 20

She really hadn't meant for it to happen at all, but it did, and it was weird.

She was actually getting drunk. She didn't realize it at first, and she hadn't meant to, but she was, and even then she didn't realize it. She was currently sitting in the grass watching the volleyball game by light of the massive court lights and all she could do was laugh.

Bucky was beside her and they were drinking one beer after another. She took a sip and said,

"I don't get it?"

"Get what?" Bucky asked with a funny slur in his voice, rather mimicking her than actually being drunk. He was a bit disappointed really, he actually sort of wished he could get drunk. He brushed that thought off and continued, almost getting a strange high from Jay acting to strangely hilarious.

"I dunno!" Jay said, narrowing her eyes as if thinking, " I don't get what i don't get ." Her head lulled to the side and she asked him, "get it?"

"Nope." He chuckled, drinking down more beer.

"Well," she said struggling to get to her feet, " i do get that i need another beer."

"Then si' down and get one!" Bucky said, pulling her back down.

She landed and laughed saying,

"You're cute."

"I know." He added with a sip of beer.

Jay laughed and touched his face, his cheek bones more prominent in the light of the court.

"Can I keep you?" She asked with a giggle.

"Only if I can keep you." He laughed.

The two laid back on the grass and she said,

"You drive a hard bargain Mr. Barnes." She laughed and put out her hand saying, "you've got yourself a deal Monseignor Hot Shtuff." She ended it with a weird slur and Bucky burst out laughing.

"You're crazy!" Bucky said.

"I'm perfectly sane." Jay said sitting back up to see one of the players fall and she burst out laughing.

"You sure Madmoiselle Vache?" Bucky asked sitting up too.

"Ooh!" Jay turned to him, " you speak French!"

"I called you a cow!" Bucky laughed.

Jay just fell back down laughing histarically.

"That's stupid!" Jay said.

"Well you're laughing at everything " Bucky added.

"No I'm not." Jay chuckled.

"Yeah you are!" Bucky finished his beer and pointed at her.

"Well, you're a gorilla with purple ears driving a sneaker up the stairs!" Jay retorted proudly.

"That doesn't even make any sense!"

With that the two fell back in histerical laughter, while others just watched and laughed themselves.
