36 Chapter 36: Best Friends (1/2)
”Oh my god! Just drink another!!”
Lina shoves another glass in my hand,
”Nah, I shouldn't.”
'Hell, i'm already a little buzzed.'
”Don't be such a bitch! Drink it!”
She basically shoves the drink in my mouth. The liquor burns on the way down but I don't mind.
”Ya know, i'm starting to feel it.”
I stumble over my own feet but a pair of strong hands catch me.
”Woah, careful hun. Don't won't you hurting yourself.”
The man is unfamiliar to me but his smile is warm, like i've seen it before.
”Sorry, *hick*, I can't really, *hick*, walk right.”
”Heh, well I could take you somewhere.”
”UH HUH! SHE'S ENGAGED PAL SO BACK OFF!”
Lina pokes his chest aggressively.
”Geez, ok lady.”
The guy walks off but he glances back at me before he disappears into the crowd.
”KAZZIE, WE SHOULD GO BACK TO MY HOTEL ROOM!”
”Heehee, ok.”
I let Lina drag me outside and before I know it, we're at the hotel bar ordering just about everything on the menu.
”Lina, *hick*, I think that, *hick*, i'm totally shit faced.”
The room is all shaky and I can't even walk straight. Lina drapes her arm around me,
”C'mon lightweight, let's get you back to my room.”
We wobble our way to the elevator giggling at nothing and helping each other keep balance. We somehow manage to open her room door and stagger into her bed.
”Wow, Lina you're probably my best friend.”
She lays next to me,
”Yeah, you're probably mine too Kazzie.”
”Mhmm, we're gonna have one hell of hangover in the morning.”
”Yeah, lets worry about that in the morning.”
”Yeah.”
I rub my eyes and turn on my side.
”Night Lina.”
”Night Kazzie baby.”
***
”Ah shit, my heads killing me.”
I rub my head and turn towards Lina.
”Hey, wake up lady.”
I poke at her.
”Mhhmmmm, five more minutes.”
I look at the alarm clock on the dresser next to the bed,
”OMIGOD, I GOTTA GO!”
She sits up quickly,
”Whaa? Why?”
I show her my phone,
”15 missed calls from Ricky! He's probably pissed!”
I hurry and call him back while Lina gets herself together.
”Kaz? Where the hell are you? I've been calling you all night!”
”I know, i'm so sorry. Lina wanted to go drinking so we went back to her hotel and crashed. I'm sorry.”
He sighs heavily into the phone,
”It's fine, just send me your location and i'll have someone come pick you up.”
”Oh, alright.”
”I'll talk to you when you get here, be safe, bye.”
”B-”
He hangs up the phone.
”Bye.”
I send him the name of the hotel and toss my phone on the bed.
”Hey, you good?”
Lina looks at me with a concerned look,
”Yeah, I just need a bath.”
”No time babe, we gotta be out this bitch at 1:15 and look at the time.”
She points to the clock,
”Shit, alright. Let's get you all packed up.”
