It took everything in me to keep my feet on the floor, I wanted to climb on top of her so badly, I was surprised I had this much will power.

I needed her so badly right now, but I couldn't do anything. She's too drunk and if I'm going to take her, she's going to remember it, that's for sure. As I battle in my head about what my little brain wants and what my big brain knows, her voice sounds. "to get me the trash can in the corner."
