A half hour later we walked up to the local park. It was about 8:00 now, and the park was empty, which was good.
"So, are we going to just strip our clothes off and run around? Or what?" David asked.
"Or what." I joked, "Who should go first?" I tapped my chin.
"How about you, since you seem like you love being naked." Zach gave me a wink and a nudge.
"I'll strip only if you strip."
"Butt naked."
"Duh! I know this Mr. Quinto." I unbuttoned my pants and leaned in towards Ben, "I may regret this later. And we have really weird friends." I laughed.
He rolled his eyes, "I can't believe you're actually going to do this darling."
"Aren't you going to do it to?" I asked, nearly falling over but he caught me.
He shook his head, "I'd rather not."
"Oh come on babe, where is your sense of adventure?" I kicked my shorts to the side.
"I'm not all that wild while I'm sober." He crossed his arms.
Even though I wasn't sober myself, I could still tell Ben wasn't too thrilled with the idea of me running around naked.
I sighed, "I won't do it."
Zach groaned, "Oh come on! I'm already naked."
"I'm sorry. I just want to leave my body to only be seen by Ben. With the exception of a gay guy seeing me naked once."
Chris patted my back, "Good call. Wait, what?"
I laughed and shook my head, "It's a long story."
Chris then shook his head, "Never mind that."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready to get my clothes off!" Kristen said as she started taking her clothes off.
It kind of made me a little jealous that all of the guys were now fawning over her. Hayden and I made eye contact. She then came over to me.
"I could never do that." She pointed to Kristen, "But she does that a lot."
"Yeah, so I've heard."
"It kind of makes you feel a little jealous, doesn't it?"
"A bit. I mean, she has a nice body and all. And obviously the guys can't get their eyes off of her."
"Well, Benedict doesn't seem all that interested."
We both looked over at Ben who was talking to Chris. Ben had his back to Kristen.
I smiled, "I have a question."
"Sure, anything."
"Have you ever been in-love?"
"Once.. A few years ago." She looked over at Milo, and he looked at her.
"What does it feel like?"
"It feels right. Like you care more about that person than yourself, and that you would do anything for that person regardless. You want that person, and only that person. And no one else can compare."
"That sounds about right."
"Do you love Ben?"
"I believe so, I mean I feel all of those things towards him. And he just makes me so happy. Being with him just erases all the negativity. Also, I think I'm ready to go further with him."
"Have you ever done it before?"
I shook my head, "Nope. Not yet. I'm pure as gold."
We were both silent for a second. I was expecting her to say something like, "You better be sure you're ready, because you can only lose your virginity once." Or something like that.
I broke the silence, "This is a weird question, but what's it like?"
"Just sex in general is nothing. But having sex with the one you love, that's a different story. It's a wonderful feeling being so intimate with the one you love."
That sounded like that could be right. Next I flinched because I felt someone put their arms around me.
"Hmm, let me guess. Is it Mr. Spock?" I said, looking back at Zach.
"You're getting better at that." He smiled, "I think I drank too much." He groaned and rested his head against mine, "And it's only eight at night. I'm so lame."
"Well, aren't you just the life of the party."
"I want to sleep forever."
"Why?"
He lifted his head up, "I... I really don't know."
I laughed, "Come on Zachary." I turned around and helped him stand up, "How much did you have to drink?"
"I don't know, I lost count." He hiccuped.
"Why are you so calm, man? Did you take something?"
"What starts with a W and ends with 'eed'?"
"What? You smoked weed?" I question him, looking into his eyes.
A smile stretched across his face, "I got ya!" He then let out a chuckle, "Nah man, I didn't smoke weed! I don't even act like that when I do."
I smacked him, "God you're so mean!"
"I am really drunk though." He laughed, "Let's go TP some houses! I have toilet... toilet paper in my bag." He reached down for his 'bag.'
"Um Zach, you didn't bring a bag with you bro." I placed my hands on my hips.
"Oh shit, you're right. I'm so sorry." He laughed again.
"Well, what's next on the agenda?" I asked Chris as he walked over to us.
Before he could reply, we had lights in our faces. Shit, the cops. Were we really being that loud? The cop came walking over to us.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? A couple of celebs, and Benedict Cumberbatch's girlfriend." He said, smiling at all of us, "You guys were being a little bit too loud, looks like I'm going to have to call back-up and take you guys downtown."
My stomach formed knots. I felt like I was going to throw up, "We don't even get a warning?"
"Not in this town sweet-heart."
I then squinted my eyes at him, trying to focus them in the dark, "Wait a second." I went up to him, "Adrian... Adrian Pasdar." I laughed, "You?"
He smiled then laughed, "You guys should have seen your faces. Well except for Zach, he set this whole thing up in a drunk text."
Zach saluted Adrian, "You're welcome."
I rolled my eyes, "What will Zach do next?"
Kristen came up to Adrian, "Hello there. Long time no see. Are you going to strip for us, Mr. Officer." She winked at him.
"I thought you were filming a movie?" Milo then asked as he came over to us.
"I am. They just didn't need me for today, so now I'm here. What? Can't an old man party too?"
"You're just a year older than me." Greg joked.
"I'm the freaking baby here." I said.
Greg and Adrian hugged me and, "Aww'd," at the same time.
"Little baby Emma." Greg started patting my head.
