I burst into hysterics as Sarah quickly grabs my hand, and pulls me back to the bar away from her drunken admirer. “Thanks for that, Jeni. It’s nice to know you will help a sister out when some pervert is dry humping my leg.” She laughs.

We order another cocktail or three, and by this time, I’m feeling, well, more than a little happy. My vision’s starting to blur, and I feel unsteady on my feet. I feel good, great, in fact, as my phone vibrates again.

Aiden: I wish I was there too. As for Sarah force-feeding you cocktails, just remember I’m not there to hold your hair when you puke. So, try not to drink too much, okay? xoxo

I hit Reply.

Jenifer: Im NoT eveen that badLy drunken so dont worrys. But I wuv u nd I cannt w8 to see u.

I hit Send without looking and put the phone back in my bra.

“Is that Aiden?”

“Yeah, I miss him sooo much.” I must be drunk because I can’t believe I’m about to tell her this. “We had phone sex on FaceTime,” I yell right as the music finishes.

Everyone stops and looks at me.

As my eyes widen, my face reddens. Great timing, Jeni!

Sarah laughs so hard I think she’s going to pee herself, and everyone in the room cheers.

Fuck. How embarrassing!

“Chris and I sometimes have phone sex.”

“But you live together?” I look at her, feeling confused.

“Yeah, whenever Chris goes to shop for groceries, I like to call him, and I’ll have a one-sided phone sex conversation with him. It’s great because it gets me off in more ways than one. One is the obvious way, and two, it makes me happy that he’s in the middle of a supermarket, and I’m on the other end talking dirty to him. I know he can’t say anything while he’s there, so it drives him crazy. Then he comes home all worked up, and we have the best sex ever.”

I laugh. “Are you kidding?”

“Nope, serious. He loves it. He’s such a pervert.”

“Guess that brings new meaning to the phrase ‘Clean-up on aisle four.’” We both break into fits of laughter causing our normal hiccups and snorts to surface.

“Sarah, more dancing,” I yell while she downs the last of her cocktail all in one go.

We make our way back to the dance floor, and I’m swaying to the music as Sarah is jumping around with her hands in the air and her eyes closed. I notice a gorgeous blond walking toward us. My vision is blurry, but I think I recognize him. He comes up behind Sarah and moves his hands around to her front grabbing her tits. I laugh as Sarah smacks at his hands and turns around quickly. Chris laughs when she tries to punch him in the arm, but misses, causing her to stumble forward. He catches her as she realizes it’s him.

“You’re an asshole. You asshole!”

“Yeah, but I’m your asshole.”

Sarah leans up and kisses Chris softly. They start to slow dance together to the really loud and fast music. It makes me think of Aiden and how much I miss him. I take out my phone to message Aiden, but I see there’s a reply from him.

Aiden: I don’t want to be that controlling guy, but please don’t have anything else to drink. I’m not there to help you, and I’m worried about you. If you don’t stop drinking, I’ll have to catch an early plane, so I can look after you. xoxo

I squint, trying to read the message through my blurry eyes. Controlling much? I can’t have another drink? Well, watch this! I stumble my way over to the bar. The bartender looks at me while I am trying my best to pretend I’m not drunk.

“What would you like?”

“Another Pina,” hiccup “Colada, thanks.” He makes my drink, and I grab hold of the glass and walk toward the dance floor. I pick my straw out and throw it over my shoulder—don’t need that.

“Hey, watch it!” I hear someone call out. I giggle and keep walking, more like stumbling, while I down my drink in one go.

There! I will drink whatever I want.

I hand my empty glass to some random guy, and he looks at me, furrowing his eyebrows, then I try to find Sarah and Chris. I know I’m stumbling around, but I don’t care. I’m having fun. I walk up behind Sarah and wrap my arms around her and Chris, resting my head on her shoulder. I can feel her giggling while Chris smiles at me.
