He wets his lips.
I think I just died.
“Win?"
“Y-yeah?”
“I’m…” His eyes widen as if shocked. My heart is going to beat right out of my chest. A slow smile unfolds on his lips. “Really fucking drunk.”
I roll my lips in, trying my hardest not to laugh but it’s impossible. I’m cackling, he’s giggling and we’re a heap of limbs. After an eternity of floating in hilarity, we start to relax.
Remy's eyelids droop.
“I don't wanna sleep in an empty house,” he rasps. “Can you stay the night?”
As if I'd ever choose to walk my drunk ass home over sleeping under the same roof as him.
I nod.
He stands on unstable legs, stumbling and tugging on my arm.
“Come on,” he whines. I don’t know what he wants but I’m incapable of denying him anything. He helps me up; it’s like walking on the ocean's surface.
His arm wraps around my shoulders, enveloping me in his fresh scent— like an early morning on the beach. I’m high off it as we sway down the hall to his room and tumble onto the bed.
Somehow I end up under him for the second time in my life. A breath whooshes out of me. His weight pushing me into the mattress sends blood rushing south. Fuck, I cant get hard right now. He'll feel it again and—
Remy grins, rolling off me. The loss of his warmth makes me shudder.
I prop on my elbows to find him tearing through his dresser. It’s fucking hilarious. I’m having a full-on fit while he’s mumbling, “I just want the grey ones.”
Eventually, he gives up and collapses next to me.
On our backs, side by side, we stare at the ceiling with dopey smiles and heavy lids.
A pinky finger wraps around mine.
My lungs scream for relief.
“Promise me something, Win.”
“Anything.”
“Promise…”
I wait.
And wait.
Until soft snores answer me.

“Ineed a restraining order,” I growl into the phone, slamming the door of my truck and aggressively clicking the lock button on my key fob five times. A girl smoking on her balcony shoots me an annoyed glare, but I’m too riled up to give a shit.
Andrea’s chuckle filters through the speaker. “I think that’s a little extreme.”
