Hell Yes!

"Hell yes, I want a drink! I'm going to take a quick shower and change out of these clothes, though." Doe says.

John tosses some treats to his cat, and walks into the kitchen. He grabs his bottle of Captain Morgan, two glasses, and two cans of coke. He mixes the drinks, then carries them into the den. While he waits for Doe to return, he sits on the sofa and turns on the TV.

Just as he does this, Doe walks down the stairs sporting a pair of pajama pants and a tank top. He notices she's wearing a bra under her tank top. She plops down beside him on the sofa and quickly downs her rum and coke.

"That was good, thank you." Doe says.

Astonished, John quickly finishes his.

"Want another?" He asks

"Keep 'em coming, bar keep" she says emphatically, half joking.

John and returns to the kitchen to make two more. He returns to the den and they make small talk while drinking and watching TV.

"This is the first apartment I've ever been to that has an upstairs." Doe comments.

"Yeah, it's like a mix between a loft and a townhouse or something, but the rent isn't bad and I like it."

After about an hour and an entire fifth of rum, John and Doe are pretty tipsy. The more they talk to each other, the more of a connection they feel. Neither say anything, though, fearing rejection and disappointment.

After a lull in the conversation, Doe speaks up. "You've done so much for me tonight. I don't think there is anyway I could ever thank you for it. You were my knight in shining armor. I owe you...big time."

"You don't owe me, anything." John responds. "Besides, it's not everyday I have a beautiful girl in my apartment."

Doe looks at him and asks "you really think I'm beautiful?"

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met." John tells her, and then blushes when he realizes what he's said.

Doe responds by curling up beside him on the sofa and laying her head on his shoulder.

"What time do you have to be at your orientation tomorrow?" John asks.

"Ugh," Doe responds. "8:00."

"Maybe you should head to bed, then. It's 1:00 am." John tells her. "I'll grab some blankets and camp out on the couch."

"...or we could share your bed" Doe suggests sheepishly, surprising him.
