Back at home

You must have been really drunk because the next thing you remember is Jess pulling the covers up over you, watching your eyes flutter closed, and waiting until your breathing evens out.

She pulls the bedroom door closed behind her, the soft click sealing Joe into sleep. She stands there for a moment in the hallway, still in the purple dress—zipper still up, heels still on. She hadn't even thought to change.

Her feet carry her back to the living room before she decides to go. Chad's there, two glasses on the table, a bottle of whiskey between them. She settles onto the couch beside him, crossing her legs, the hem of the dress riding up just slightly.

"Couldn't sleep either?"

She reaches for the glass he offers, fingers brushing his in the exchange. She holds his gaze as she takes the first sip, the whiskey burning warm down her throat.

"Thanks. For tonight. For being cool about everything."

She sets the glass down, turns toward him fully on the couch, the purple fabric catching the dim light. She's close enough to see the lines of his face, the way his throat moves when he swallows.

"I know this is probably weird. Staying with your friend and his girlfriend. But... I'm glad you're here."

“Thanks Jess, I really appreciate what you guys are doing for me and i’m glad i’m here too” he responds with a smile. “I probably won’t sleep so I might watch a movie, you down?” He adds on.
