“You’re always cute. But while we’re on the topic of personal safety, you should make sure to look in elevators before walking into them, and you should never let first dates know where you live, meet them out, have them walk you to an uber or your car if you feel safe enough to let them, but don’t bring them back to where you live.”
“Well s-s-sorry I’m doing everything wrong. This is the way I livemylife.”
“Your way or the highway, huh?” I smirked.
“That’s what I’m s-s-sayin! I turn my brainoffafter school, okay?”
“Well, then you should really just stick with me so I can think for you then.”
“Wow,” she bit back sarcastically.
“What?” I laughed.
“Trying to pump your own tires while I stare at your man booty.”
“You’re staring at my booty, eh?” I asked with a grin.
“I can’t help it. It’s r-r-right here!”
“Ow!” I yelped. “Did you just pinch me?”
She giggled. “Payback.”
“Two can play at that game, Miss Josie.” I grunted before bouncing a bit so she’d slam into my shoulder.
“Oww!” she complained. She tried to wriggle out of my grasp, but I held her body firmly in place. She finally gave up and slapped my butt.
“Ooh baby, I like it when you get feisty,” I said with a grin.
“You are too much, Tyler Jettersen,” she huffed out.
“Too much what? Too much fun?” I teased. I pulled open our lobby door and let her body slide down the front of me ‘til she was standing on her own.
“Oh, thank you.” She swayed a bit on her feet and squinted her eyes, like she was trying to see me more clearly. I held her hips, steadying her.
“Jeez, how much did you drink, buddy?” I laughed.
She stomped her foot. “For the love of God, stop calling me buddy,” she shrieked.
I stifled a laugh as she turned on her heel and made her way to the stairwell. I fell in step behind her, and about halfway up the first flight of stairs, she almost toppled face-first into the concrete steps. I caught her waist and hoisted up her limp, giggling body.
“Annnd you’re done,” I said, hooking my arms under her back and knees. This time, instead of fighting, she wrapped her arms around my neck and laid her head against my chest, making me feel about ten feet tall. Damn. I liked her way too much for my own good. I was in deep with this girl.
“Don’t let it go to your head,” she grumbled.
“Don’t let what go to my head?” I was breathing heavier from taking the steps two at a time.
“You know.” She shyly lifted her eyes to mine.
“Oh,” I grinned, “That whole bit about you liking me? And thinking I smell good?”
She groaned and squeezed her eyes shut. “I can’t fight it when I drink my brain cells away.”
I chuckled. “Why fight it? You made my night.”
She sighed and patted my chest. “All my secrets. Woosh! No more Tyler Pirates for me.”
Now I really laughed. “You’re a funny drunk, Miss Josie.”
