There was a loud knock on the door.

"One sec," Fiona shouted. She opened the oven and put the food in. She turned to Tom and whispered, "If you're good, I'll ride you later with nothing on but the boots."

She heard Tom groan as she stepped over to the door. Tom turned around trying to calm himself down, Fiona's proposition didn't help at all.

Fiona opened the door with a huge smile. She hadn't seen Monica and Liam since early August and she was overjoyed to see them.

"Hi!" Monica shouted and handed a container of cupcakes she made earlier. Fiona gave her a kiss and put them on the counter.

"So, this is Tom," she said with a huge smile. Tom smirked and walked over to greet her friends. "This is Monica and Liam, I've known them for, like, ever."

Tom and Liam hit it off easily, the two chatted about video games mostly. Tom was a huge fan of Grand Theft Auto back in the day and Liam just got the newest one.

Monica whispered to Fiona, "Oh my God!"

Fiona laughed, "I know!"

"I didn't know guys that hot even existed, don't tell Liam I said that," Monica blurted. She grabbed the wine bottle she brought and tried to open it. Fiona watched her friend struggle, the two started laughing. Fiona had no luck either.

"Liam! I need you," Monica called, her face red from trying to pull the cork out. The two were hysterical.

Tom wandered in to see what the commotion was about. He watched as the two girls bonded and how happy Fiona was to be with friends.

"Liam is in the bathroom," Tom announced.

"Oh. We just can't get this wine open. We're weak," Monica pulled the cork screwed as hard as she could without so much as a budge.

Tom reached out his hand for the bottle, even though he found it all too amusing to watch. Monica handed him the heavy bottle. Fiona bit her lip.

"We can wait for Liam, you don't have to open it," Fiona urged. She didn't know if it was appropriate for an ex alcoholic to be opening alcohol.

"Don't be silly, my love," Tom pulled almost effortlessly on the corkscrew and popped the cork right out. He handed it to Monica who had grabbed two wine glasses from the cabinet.

"You're having a glass right, Fi? Tom?" Monica asked.

"I'm good thanks," Tom said with a smile. He went to the fridge to grab a Red Bull.

"I think I'll pass too," Fiona said, looking over at Tom.

"Fi, come here for a sec," Tom said as he walked back to the living room. She followed him. "You can drink, you know. You can get properly pissed."

"Isn't that rude though?" Fiona asked.

"No, have fun babe. I wonder what you're like drunk," he laughed. "But don't get too drunk because someone mentioned riding me later."

"Oh trust me I am going to ride you until you explode," Fiona pulled him by the collar of his shirt and kissed him. Fiona ran her hand down his chest before she turned away. Tom watched the thin heels as she walked.

Monica put on the radio and turned it up. She poured Fiona a large glass of the sweet rosé.

. . . .

There was another knock at the door, Fiona went to open it. It was their friend Marcus and his friend Greg. They were originally Monica and Liam friends, but they all hung out together, especially since Fiona had her own apartment.
