I was four shots down until my limbs finally started to feel heavy. I sent a quick text to Rusty to tell her where I was, not caring whether it was readable or not. The bar was just starting to fill with people and soon drinks were flying out of the bartender’s hands and into whoever was giving him cash. I sat and drank a mojito to try and calm myself, but then some thirty year old bloke bought me another tequila shot which I willing accepted.

“How’s about you come back to my place later, love,” his hot breath was on my ear and I pushed him away.

“Naughty, naughty!” I waved my index finger in his face and walked towards an open booth. As I was about to sit down, some teenage bitch and her mates snagged my spot.

“Uh, excuse me?” I said and then noticed her shirt. It was a Wonder Extension shirt with Harry, Zakir, and all the rest of their faces on it. “Oh my God! I know him!” I pointed at her shirt and she looked at me with her bitchy teenage face.

“Can you fuck off? We were here first.” She rolled her eyes and continued a conversation with her friends.

“No, I mean I know him! I just fucked him like a couple of hours ago.” This time the girl stood up and got right up in my face.

“In your fucking dreams, twat. He would never fuck a slut like you.” She smiled as her mates cheered. I chuckled before responding.

“Oh, darling, that’s where you’re wrong. Because he did fuck me. And he fucked me good. You see, I’m his type. Legal, hot, and my nose doesn’t take up half of my face.” I paused to let that sink in, then leaned closer. “Plus, he’d never stick his cock in something as pathetic as you anyway.” I patted her shoulder and stared her straight in the eyes. Before I knew it, she was screaming and trying to grab my hair. I kicked her in the shin and backed away, and then the little twat was on the ground whining in pain. This caused the bartender to come over and see what was going on.

“Ow, ow! She kicked me, sir! Get her out of here!” It was so obvious to me that she was fake crying, but I wasn’t sure if he had noticed. He turned his head towards me and then back down at her.

“Listen here. This lass has been in here all afternoon without any trouble and then you showed up. So get your underage ass out of here before I call the cops.” The bitch stopped crying and her friends came over to help her up.

“Toni?” I turned around and saw Rusty heading towards me. I gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. She looked at the scene surrounding me and grabbed my hand. “Uh, I think we better go, Tone. I drove your car here.” She dragged me towards the door and I waved to the bartender.

“Thanks so much, Coop! I’ll be in next week for $2 jello shots!” He blew me a kiss and got back to work.

“So we’re starting bar fights with sixteen year olds now?” Rusty noted as she sped away from the bar.

“I guess so. I was just telling her that I was having sex with her favorite band member and she flipped. Not my problem.” I stared out the window and counted all the cars that were driving by.

“Where was Harry? I dropped you off at a bar on the other side of town. Did you walk all that way?”

“No.” I picked a hair off my shirt. “We went back to his house and fucked and then I took a cab to the bar.”

“Very blunt, I like it. But why didn’t he come with you?” I counted ten more cars on the street before responding.

“I don’t know. Maybe because I left him in the nude after I set his alarm off trying to flee?” I saw her turn her head to look at me but I continued to stare out the window.

“What are you afraid of, Toni?” I shrugged my shoulders and prayed I still had a bottle of vodka in one of my suitcases at home.

I stumbled towards Poppy’s house and opened the front door. Thankfully, Poppy was nowhere to be seen so I went into Rusty’s and my bedroom and closed the door. My eyes were shut a mere twenty seconds until my phone started to buzz.

“Hello?” I mumbled into the receiver.

“Antoinette, it’s mummy! Did I wake you up? Oh, no bother. I just wanted to tell you that your father and I worked everything out with the flat and you should be all ready to move in this weekend! Isn’t that amazing! I can’t wait to see you all grown up living on your own!” I threw a pillow across the room and sunk my body into the sheets of the bed.

“Wonderful, mum. I can’t wait either. I guess I’ll see you on Saturday?” She cheered and I hung up the phone. Well, at least I didn’t have to bare it with Poppy much longer.

There was a knock at the door, “Toni? Matt is here to see you. Can he come in?”

“Fine.” I yelled before smoothing the sheets around me. The door opened and Matt stepped in, his blue eyes looking more beautiful than ever. He took a seat on the bed.

“Afternoon, beautiful. So, I was thinking I’d take you up on that offer of going out. I heard there’s going to be a good show at Fever if you’re down.” I smirked and crawled toward him on the bed.

“Only if we have a little fun first.” I whispered in his ear and ran my palm over the crotch of his pants. He jerked away and stood up.

“Woah, Toni. What are you doing?” I stood on my knees and grabbed his shirt.

“I’m drunk and I want you, Matt.” I kissed his neck and he pushed me back onto the bed.

“What? Toni, I’m gay! I thought you knew that!” I stared at him with wide eyes. Instead of being embarrassed that I just came on to a gay guy, the excess alcohol in me caused me to burst out laughing. Of course he was gay! It all made sense now. He was too perfect to not be gay. I rolled and laughed on my bed and he soon joined me. He tickled me as he teased me for trying to “turn him to the dark side” and I laughed until I felt as though I was going to pee. I put my head in his lap as I stared up at his perfect face.

“Well now that the sexual tension is gone, I think we’re going to be the best of mates.” He laughed and l closed my eyes to take a nap.
