Guess I’m lucky that I’m not goin’ then, eh?

“I feel really… warm. Is that supposed to happen?” He took another, shuddering. “I know this stuff isn’t expensive, so thanks. I’ll pay you back somehow.”

“Yes, Yes. That’s supposed to happen” Jacob rolled his eyes and laughed as he downed another shot, “Now the pro trick is to drink some water in between shots. It will make your life a whole lot better in the morning” he grinned.

Uh, no? The one and only, Ryan Westwood.. You okay?

Yikes.

More like I’m the lucky one.. I’m sure you guys met? It’s Ryan.

Wait. Ryan who? Please tell me you are dating the girl Ryan.

Well, now that makes me feel like I’ve got some standard to meet or something. Or that I’ve got a whole bunch of people around me that would love to go to art galleries and museums with me. If you’d be up for it, I’d love to have you over for you to see my work sometime. I mean, my door is always open to viewers and artists, alike. It’s apartment 8B, for future reference.

Oh come on. As long as you don’t burp in my face, I am pretty sure that there is nothing that you could ever do that would be disgusting. I’d love to see your artwork, but just know that I would be really jealous of you and your art abilities. I have always sucked at art but been jealous of people who are good at it so your art work better be crappy unless you want me to hate you with a passion.

Oh, that is so cute.. I have yet to meet this Philip you speak of.. But hey, you’re not the only one with a boyfriend here.

Aw, thanks. Well, look at us winning in the boy department! Who is the lucky guy??

Oh, shut up.. Glad to know I’m not alone. Wow, seems pretty eventful. Well, nothing too exciting.. had to fix up some things back home.. and yeah. I’m glad to be back though, very glad.

Oh that sounds pretty boring. But yeah. I mean the only new thing really is that I have a boyfriend named Philip who is really cool. But that’s it.

That’s actually insanely adorable. You’re just being over-critical of yourself. I think you’re very well put together. I bet you don’t accidentally burp in front of cute guys trying to come up with something to say. I did that the other day. 

No, it isn’t! It’s really lame and gross. And ew, that actually sounds pretty gross. You burped accidentally? How does that even happen?!

“Another? Are you kidding me?” He downed another shot, waving his hands around in disgust and sticking out his tongue. “When is this supposed to start being fun?”

“Come on, don’t be a wuss. Let’s do another shot” Jacob grinned as he looked over at the other male, “Trust me. It gets better and better with the more shots you take. I promise”
