Kendra grabbed the phone out of my hand and looked down. She started laughing. “Bee! No more drunk texting for you.”

“Let me see,” Marie said and grabbed my phone. She started laughing too. My phone started buzzing in her hand. “He responded.”

“What did he say?” I asked.

“He asked if you were drunk.” She smiled at me.

“Was it that obvious?” I grabbed my phone back.

Sure enough, his text said: “Bee, are you drunk?” I bit my lip. I couldn’t hide from the truth now.

“Maybe a little,” I wrote back.

A second later my phone buzzed again. “Where are you?”

“At a bar with Kendra and Marie. Girls night!”

“Which bar?”

“He’s being weird,” I said and put my phone back in the middle of the table. “I think he’s stalking me.”

Marie laughed. In just a few seconds, my phone started ringing. “Aren’t you going to answer that?” she asked.

“Is it him?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t want him to hear drunk me. I’m rambling too much.”

Kendra grabbed my phone. “Hello, Mason.” Her eyes flicked toward me. “She’s absolutely wasted.”

Silence. I rolled my eyes at her.

“I think a ride home would be good.”

“Kendra!” I said.

Ignoring me, she continued. “We’re at the Tiki Lounge.”

Silence.

“Okay, great. See you soon.” She hung up.

“What did you say to him?”

She laughed. “You literally just heard the whole conversation. I told him you were plastered and that you could use a lift. He was still at work, so he’s just down the street.”

“I don’t want him to take me home. He’s going to try to seduce me.”

“I think you should let him,” Marie said.

“You are both terrible people. We’re taking things slow. He’s going to think I’m an alcoholic.”

“Then I’ll tell him all you do is sit at home at night and watch T.V. That should clear everything right up.”

“Don’t tell him that! Crap, do I look okay?”

“You look great,” Marie said. “Besides, the lights are probably going to be off anyway.”
