Go Check out Movie Night.

Adam returned to their lonely house, walked straight to the pantry, and dug out one of Holly’s liquor bottles she used for margaritas. Adam didn’t even know what it was. Adam wasn’t a big drinker, but today he was going to make an exception. He poured a generous amount into a glass, the amber liquid shimmering under the dim kitchen light. One gulp after another. The burn was immediate, leaving a fiery trail down his throat, temporarily numbing his addled mind.

Adam stared at his phone. Holly wasn’t due back till tomorrow, and Sara’s offer loomed over his head. Fuck it, he finally muttered to himself as he hastily texted Sara;

On my way

Before he knew it, Adam was at the door to Sara’s apartment.

Popping a mint in hopes of masking the smell of tequila Adam tried to look more put-together than he felt but his stomach churned anxiously. He knocked with a deep breath, and within moments Sara swung the door open, looking even more radiant than he remembered. Her eyes lit up as she saw him, and Sara leaned in for a quick hug. Her warm embrace and overwhelming scent of perfume were dizzying. “Hey! You made it!”

“Yeah.” Adam stuttered as Sara walked away, trying in vain not to be distracted by Sara’s ass in her iddy-bitty sleep shorts as she disappeared around the corner to the kitchenette.

“Drink?” She offered as the fridge squeaked.

“Sure, ah I’ll take a beer.” Adam answered as his eyes darted around the cozy but empty living room. “Er… first one here?”

Sara returned from the kitchen, a cold beer in one hand and a mischievous grin on her face. “I thought it would be just us for tonight,” Sara said, her voice playful as she handed him the bottle. “Just a little fun, you know?” She leaned against the couch, the warmth of her body radiating through the space between them.

“Yeah, just us,” Adam echoed, feeling an almost magnetic pull toward her. But as much as he tried to keep his mind focused on the moment, thoughts of Holly crept back in, heavy and unwelcome.

“Come on, let’s make this a night to remember!” Sara exclaimed, flipping her hair back with a laugh. “We can binge-watch something, or maybe play some games. I have a few ideas for how we can have more fun... just the two of us.” Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and for a moment, he felt the weight of his indecision lift.

“Sounds good,” Adam said hesitantly, trying to sound enthusiastic. Before they could say anything more, there was a sudden, loud knock at the door. Sara raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. “Who could that be?” she winked.

Another knock sounded, this time more insistent. Without a word Sara just smiled as she rose to head towards the door. Adam could feel the unease bubble in his chest as she reached for the handle.

Sara opened the door cautiously, and standing on the other side was Holly clad in a long khaki trench coat a teasing grin, “Hey, hun hope you didn’t start without me.”

What was she doing here?
