They went on many more coffee dates after the first one ;)

“Nora?” Adam asked hastily stepping outside into the cold air before resting his hand upon Nora’s shoulder.

Anger flickered in Nora’s eyes as she lifted her head, her eyes meeting Adam’s. She watched as Adam’s cheeks grew red and his eyes too glittering under the street lamps as he swallowed back the tears of guilt.

“Nora I’m--” Adam  began but was cut off as Nora jerked her shoulder away in an effort to remove his hand from her shoulder.

“I think this-s is.. Is your’s.” Nora motioned passing the now giggling Indie into her brothers arms before taking one last look at the tall blonde who now stood in the doorway and taking one last glance at Adam before proceeding down the pathway.

Pushing past Indie and the girl standing in the door Adam ran down the front garden his long legs eating up the ground beneath him as he attempted to gain Nora’s attention.

“Adam. What was that? Adam?!” The girl inquired, but instead of an answer Adam ran off after Nora.

“Wait!” Adam panted as he slowed down beside Nora stopping her in her tracks. Nora cautiously spun slowly on her heels to face Adam. “Wh-o is sh-she?” Nora sobbed, not making any effort to hide her tears from Adam now.

Silence fell between the two as he glanced behind him and watched the girl bundle Indie into the house before she shot a small smile in Adam’s direction.

“Who i-is she!” Nora spat studying Adam, tears still continuing  to flow down her cheeks.

Shaking his head Adam ran his hand through his thick hair his eyes glued to the pavement beneath his feet in an effort to avoid eye contact with Nora.

“She’s.. That’s Billie..” He mumbled his eyes still focused on the floor, but his attention focused on his fingers. Nora watched as he picked at his fingers, allowing a small laugh to escape her lips to the realisation that her suspicions were true.

“Good-goobye A..Adam..”She choked, striding towards the car indicating to Marcie to get the engine started.

Swinging the door open Marcie hopped into the driver’s seat and turned the key in the ignition of the car.

Tears streamed there way down Nora’s face causing the headlights of the car to become blobs of colour before she roughly wiped her cheek with the back of hand in an attempt to conceal her tears from Marcie. Reaching for the passenger seat door she paused and took one last look behind her.

She watched Adam screwed his fist into  tight balls, a single tear falling down his face.

They exchanged numbers and agreed to meet for some coffee 

“You’re so nice.” Indie mumbled among other words and sounds as they walked up to the bright red door. “I lo-”

“D-ddon’t you say it.” Nora cut Indie off, pressing her hand over her mouth in an attempt to prevent her from saying the words; but despite her actions Nora's cheeks blushed a bright red from Indie’s remark. Reaching out to ring the doorbell Nora failed twice as she poked the wall before eventually prodding the doorbell multiple times, careless of the fact it was almost 2:30am and anyone in the house would be sleeping.

“Hushhhh!” Indie sang, placing a finger over Nora’s lips as she looked up to meet her friendly eyes.

“Y-you know..” She continued “I love..I love youu!” Indie sputtered, falling into the door with a clunk, before erupting into hysterics once again as Nora struggled to support Indie, unaware of the footsteps on the other side of the door gradually becoming louder.

“Um..Can I help you?”An annoyed half-asleep voice came from above them. Scowling,  Nora followed the voice upwards as she was greeted by a tall blonde that stood in front of them, dressed in a tiny, sheer, silk nightgown.

“Addddddaaaaaammmm-mm” Indie sang out, falling back into the open doorway totally ignoring the presence of the unknown girl that had opened the door.

“Babe? Its your sister accompanied by some other girl..” The blonde mumbled to a shirtless Adam who was now approaching the door.

Nora’s eyes grew large as she watched Adam snake his arm around the girl in front of them before delicately pressing a small kiss onto her cheek.  

Rage and anger grew in Nora as the realization of the situation finally registered in her mind causing tears to brim in her eyes. Digging her fingernails into arm, Nora awkwardly swayed from foot to foot, trying not to make eye contact with Adam as she attempted to swallow down the tears that threatened her eyes.

Street upon street passed before Marcie turned down the all too familiar road, the same old houses lined the road but instead of the usual street lined with lit up houses after houses, they were greeted with pitch black.

“Right….he-here” Indie grumbled hoisting herself up off of Nora's lap so she was able to prod at the window to indicate which house was hers.

Pulling over to the side of the road Marcie frowned as she spotted the all too familiar red door that had belonged to Nora’s boyfriend.

“Nora?” Marcie questioned,reaching for the phone to check the address she had entered. Glaring hard at the address entered into the location bar annoyance bubbled in Marcie’s stomach. ‘Location - Adam Saunders - Home Address”.

“Nora! Stupid drunk ass! You bloody entered Adams address not Indies!” Marcie groaned tossing Nora's phone into the back of the car here they both sat.

“I l-live.. there..” Indie replied as she dragged her hand down the span of the window and glared at the house in awe.

Nora shot her head up and nodded violently in Marcie’s direction before reached for the door handle. Swinging the door open she pulled her legs out of the car and turned back around to face Marcie to mime the words ‘Adams sister’ while obnoxiously pointing to the half passed out Indie.

“Nora..no, I.. stay here, I’ll take her” Marcie replied, frantically scrambling out of the car in an effort to prevent Nora from getting out of the car.

“Nooo!” Nora replied “it’ll be fine-e, you..you just wait here!” She finished, before patting Marcie's shoulder in reasurement.

Sniggering Indie looked up to meet Nora’s eyes before a large grin appeared on her face.  “I,I think I ma-y be toooo”. She slurred as she stumbled causing the two to bump into Marcie's table.

“That-ts not very good then” Nora continued “Two dr-drunk girls! What on e-earth could go w-wrong!” Breaking into hysterics, Indie began to fall as Nora attempted to hold her up.

Turning to look at the two girls Marcie rolled her eyes. “I see you found a drinking buddy, a good one by the looks of how drunk you both are! ” She snorted breaking into the catchy hysterics of the two girls stood in front of her.

“You..you got that-t right!” Indie slurred again this time almost slamming herself onto the table as she attempted to balance herself against the already unstable Nora.

“Let's get you two home”. Marcie sighed, positioning herself in the middle of the two girls, linking arms with them in an effort to prevent them from falling and leading them out of the bar, to the car so they could begin to make their way home.

Wearily opening the car door she assisted Nora and Indie into the back seat of the car, attempting to buckle them in as they laid across each other lifelessly like dolls.

“Where am I taking you Indie?” Marcie questioned as she turned the key in the ignition of the car.

“Ho-hom..e” Indie mumbled weakly, her eyes slowly beginning to close as the alcohol was beginning to take its tole on Indie and Nora.

“Emphasize..?” Marcie mumbled under her breath, huffing before quickly glaring back at Nora in desperation. A few minutes passed as silence engulfed the car before Marcie's ear was greeted with the sound of shuffling and the all too common iPhone keyboard sound.
