30

I didn't remember how I ended up there.

I did and I didn't, only knowing that I let my mind surrender to my heart and to his hands.

Somehow, I was in the back of the taxi on my way to him.

I ended up messaging him after my 'party', and whether it was for the lack of sleep to blame or the psychic changes taking within, that's what happened.

And he agreed. How easy it all was, really.

Kind of.

I was confused. She said she was coming with her friends, she doesn't wanna go to the club with them though. I thought I could avoid it or have her come over and we would fuck.

My friends ended up going to the Rec room – a super random arcade bar – and after several texting attempts I saw her standing at coatcheck, looking young and cute almost a little bit lost. I was so drunk and probably high. We hugged and she said somethings, I told her she's here she doesn't need to leave her coat. I wasn't gonna stay long. I led her through the casino like arcade for grownups and turned around and with a lazy smile kissed her....i needed to piss though so we found the bathroom. I kept on repeating how I really didn't know, cause I didn't/ I don't know how she showed up here, we only knew each other like this. How strange.

We found my friends at the huge bar. I debated whether I should get her a drink. Was she drunk at all? My head was spinning, she kept on saying things about her day and the bar was too big. Then my friends started talking about going to a party. It was so far and I was already so wasted, I didn't want to go, not really. Plus, she was here.

We went outside for a smoke, I shared my cigarette with her, I could tell she didn't smoke. So R and I and her finally got into an uber after a debate about the party. We were I the back seat and I started touching her, between her thighs, putting my finger in her mouth, aching for her touch as well.

We got to the party, all my friends loved her and she got drunk quickly out of a bunch of drinks my dumbs friends were making her. Then they offer us cocaine, which I took to be nice. I wanted her to take some too, but she didn't.

She kept on trying to pull me away. And for once, I got this insane moment of clarity. I was glad for it. Usually, I would have preferred to stay there with the rest of them, numbing my mind...

But she kept saying that we should go, and she kept on hugging me like an innocent kitten.

I ended up having to talk to a few people that were barriers on our way through the hall, but eventually we made our escape.

We made it to my place. I kissed her in front of my building, against the wall, until two girls walking a dog forced us to crawl up to the apartment.

Of course, when we woke up in the morning, one of my friends was on the couch.

But in the night, it was just us.

We went to a restaurant, yes the three of us, and she ordered pancakes with salmon.

I smoked outside afterwards with my friend, he left.

We stayed.
