We skip Annie once I have actuallyn’t seen her in a bit, and I’m grateful – in a strange type of grumpy means – that she teases me personally away from my shell every so often. That knows, maybe i shall satisfy somebody sexy today? It may take place.
“Megs! ” We hear Annie’s sound within the music her, and then she’s practically climbing through the arms and legs on the dance floor to get to me before I see.
Me, I remember again what’s so great about Annie: nothing is ever half way when she hugs. It’s the type of hug that squeezes the fresh atmosphere out of you, packed with enthusiasm and love.
“Hi. Therefore, you have me out here, you gonna purchase me personally a beverage now? ”
“Shouldn’t it end up being the other method around? You get me a glass or two for dragging your lame ass from your apartment and offering you an awesome saturday evening? ”
“Well, we don’t understand yet so it’s likely to be awesome, do I? ”
Annie quirks her eyebrows.
“You’re beside me, babe. Needless to say it is going to be awesome. ”
She drags me to your club, sales two shots of something, and fingers me one.
“Bottoms up? ” I state, hesitantly.
“If I had been thinking i possibly could enable you to get bottoms up, we’d be at your home, perhaps not right here. But yeah, bottoms up. ”
She lifts the cup to her lips and takes it in a single swig. I’m mine that is still holding front side of me personally, wanting to put my mind around her terms. Annie has jokingly flirted beside me many times – more in the way when trying to produce me personally blush or split a grin. Nevertheless the “bottoms up” remark had been stated with a sort that is different of: serious and intense.
“What? You likely to take in it or do i have to do this one too? ” she says, the spell that is momentary now as she laughs at me personally.
“Ok, okay, carrying it out, ” I laugh, and attempt to along the thing 
that is whole one swallow.
Bad concept. The alcohol strikes the straight back of my neck and we immediately seize up into a cough, like fire all of the method on to my lung area.
Annie chuckles, rubs my straight back and takes my hand.
“Come on, I’ve got some buddies at a dining dining table into the straight straight back. We are able to stay, ” she claims.
We shrug, and follow her lead, going through the sweaty, bumping audience of dancers.
Couple of hours later on, I’ve made of a dozen brand brand new buddies, most of who appear to have already heard of “Annie’s companion. ” I’ve been told I’m “as gorgeous as Annie said” and therefore everybody is therefore excited to “finally fulfill me personally. ”
If they state these exact things, we make brief attention connection with Annie. She smiles and shrugs, appears almost bashful – an feeling I’ve hardly ever really seen on her before.
Ultimately, we lean up to her and whisper in her own ear.
“How come we have such a fan club? Everyone knows who i will be! ”
“What can I state, i love you. Thus I talk I guess about you a lot. I’ve missed you. We don’t understand, Megs. Possibly it is my unrequited crush – the more I can’t perhaps you have, the greater i want you? ”
I choke away a laugh.
“A crush. On me? Funny. ”
