Alexandria~
“Ican’t drive,” I announced, taking in a deep breath, so that I didn’t blow chunks everywhere.
“You didn’t drive us here,” Hunter reminded me.
“We’re drunk, Hunter,” I informed him, you know, just in case he wasn’t aware.
“We’re not drunk,” he lied. “We’re…we’re happily buzzed.”
“Nope,” I argued. “I’m pretty sure that we’re drunk.”
“I don’t want to leave my car here,” he remarked absently, and I didn’t blame him.
I turned towards him, nearly knocking him back. “I have an idea,” I exclaimed as I brought my finger up in the air like a tool.
“What’s your idea?” he asked, and though he wasn’t slurring, we’d both had way more than enough tonight.
“We’ll Uber a buddy system.”
His brows furrowed over those sexy hazel eyes of his. “What in the fuck is an Uber buddy system?”
“So, we ask them if they can have two sober people in the car to come get us,” I explained excitedly. “One will drive us home, the other will drive your car, so that you don’t have to come back and get it, or risk it being broken into or anything like that.”
Hunter’s skeptical scowl remained. “They have that here?”
That drew me up short. “I mean…I don’t know,” I grumbled thoughtfully. “But…but it doesn’t hurt to ask if they can do that, right?”
“Alex, no one is supposed to be driving your car if they’re not listed as an insured driver,” he said, sounding like he was trying to sober me up with logic.
“You’re pissing on my sunshine, Hunter,” I harrumphed. “It’s a wonderful idea.”
“I’m not saying that it’s not, baby,” he laughed, his scowl gone, the word baby doing dirty things to me. “Still, I don’t think that kind of thing exists yet.”
I let out a heavy sigh. “Well, we can’t leave your car behind.”
“Getting you home is more important than my car, Alexandria,” he said kindly, and it really was going to suck if Hunter didn’t like me back.
“I’ll call the campus rideshare program,” I sighed, not sure why I was so worried about his damn car. “But I still stand by my claims that an Uber buddy system is a great idea.”
“I’m not disagreeing, you weird girl,” he smirked, smiling down at me, that bottom lip of his just begging to be licked.
“I think you’re closer, so I’ll-”
“Yeah, no,” he said as he slid one of his fingers through my belt loop, yanking me towards him. “You’re staying at my place.”
I could feel my heart thumping hard enough in my chest to start sobering me up. “I…I am?”
Hunter nodded. “I mean, I could always walk you to your door to make sure that you get home safe, but I’d feel better if you stayed with me until you sobered up.”
His words felt like the biggest disappointment ever. Hunter was still in big-brother mode, and asking me to go home with him had nothing to do with attraction or sex. He just didn’t feel comfortable leaving me drunk anywhere, even if it was in my own dorm room.
“Yeah, okay,” I mumbled as I pulled my phone from my pocket. Hunter had convinced me to leave my purse back at the dorm, pointing out that I wouldn’t be needing it since I wasn’t going to be driving or paying for anything while I was with him.
After ordering the car service, I looked back up at Hunter. “Are you sure Baron won’t mind me crashing at your place?” Then that got me to thinking. “Can I even stay there? Does your dorm allow female visitors?”
“I’ll ask for forgiveness later if you’re not allowed to be there,” he replied easily. “As a freshman, I’ll play dumb.”
