It was New Year's Eve and every bar was packed. What can you expect?

Everyone not getting drunk and looking for that someone to kiss if they don't already or more(wink). It doesn't help being in Florida that most people have nothing to do. 

Finding a bar is the easy part, getting in however is not. Since the bars are ladies night, it was any guys chance to hopefully find someone. Unless you have a female friend to let you in.

Luckily, I did and went into a bar named Shotgun. Walked in with my friend Cielo. 

"Hey, thanks for letting me in with you"- I said.

"No problem, my boyfriend is here so don't worry about me have fun!"- Cielo.

I wish I could be kidding when I say there were sooo many people there. Girls just at the bar drinking, guys trying to flirt and talk to them and groups of people everywhere. As I walked in, the barista asks "Want a shot on the house? I did an order twice by accident." 

"Uhhh...Sure thank you. Do you mind me asking why me?"  I said.

"Why not you? Seem like you need one after being all nervous."

I take the shot and realize that she was right. I really needed that shot, I noticed that I was shaking and looked like an introvert. 

"Mind if I talk to you while you work?"- I said

"Only if you tip me." she said and I put some money in the tip jar in-front of her. 

"Well, what do you want to talk about?" 

This was the moment where if I do not think of something smooth but funny it would be a waste of a tip. Can't forget that it would also be awkward if I mess up. This is something that I cannot be an introvert and must be an extravert.

"What's the funniest moment you've had working tonight?" I said.

Avoids flirting and allows me to learn more about her. It takes a minute as she is working on a drink and then responds coming closer to where I'm standing.

"Tonight? That's easy, being paid to talk." Literally my heart feels stabbed. "Im just kidding, definitely someone puking on the bar and it went all over themself."

I start laughing and say "I know I am gullible around my friends, though I didn't know I was to strangers as well."

"Well my name is Morgan and no longer a stranger. What's a guy like you doing at a bar on New Year's Eve?"

"Honestly, I am looking to meet new people, maybe wasted or something more. Though not what you are thinking." I said.

"Uh definitely was not thinking anything. If you want to get wasted however, you are talking to the one that can help. You aren't driving are you?"

"No, Im here with a friend and worst case I'll call a taxi." 

I see an open seat, proceed to walk over and sit. "So, any drink ideas to help me?"

"Of course, start small and go big! We have a drink called the bangger. Definitely a drink worth drinking on New Year's Eve."- Morgan.

A little nervous but I am unaware why. "Sure, think it will do the trick?"

As she prepares the drink, "If you can't hold alcohol, a little too much." She finishes the drink and pushes it towards me. The drink is a golden color with a red ball floating. 

I chug the drink and the taste was not a bad, it had a weird after taste but before it was sweet. "Was I supposed to drink the red ball?"

"Yes, though I did not expect you to chug it."

---Next Morning---

I wake up and look at my phone to see Cielo called me 15 times and a text from Morgan. Morgan texted "Cant believe you hid your personality and acted so different. Glad you asked for my number. Call me when you are free (winkyface)".

I don't remember anything after drinking that drink. What happened to me? I look around and notice I am in another persons bed. Whose's bed am I in?
