I watched Jesy as she scrolled through her Instagram feed, liking photos here and there. Somehow she was always beautiful, even with her hair falling into her eyes. She finally caught me staring at her and smiled back. Snapping back to reality, I busted myself with my phone.

"Why are you looking at me?" She placed her phone on her lap and sat up against the pillows.

"I don't know, maybe because just you're so bloody sexy Jesminda," I laughed and slugged her lightly on her shoulder.

"Do you want to do anything?" Jesy asked, the air between us was interrupted by a phone vibrating. It was most likely a text from Chris, as she answered him back I began to think about things we could do but found myself wandering into thoughts about whether Jesy cared for Chris or not. These thoughts seemed to plague my mind more than usual as of late, but I chalked it up to jusy general worrying.

Once again interrupting the air between us, I finally just suggest an age old hang out, "how about we just get drinks at a bar?"

"We're not dressed to go clubbing, you're literally wearing a large jumper," she slid off the bed and pulled up her pants that had slid down a little.

"Eh, I don't give a fuck, I just want a few drinks," I eventually shoved my phone into my pocket and slid my legs off of the bed, slipping a pair of sneaks on.

"Oh alright then, call a lyft and let's go!" She jogged around to my side of the bed and grabbed my hands together, tugging as she headed out the door. Once again, the hair in her eyes distracted me but responsibility struck my mind to grab the hotel key so we weren't locked out and drunk in a few hours.

"Hold on! Lemme grab my wallet! It's got the key card in it," as I separated myself from Jes to grab my small wallet which was now shoved with my pocket with my phone.

"Okay, I'm ready, let's go babe," I intertwined my hand with my best friend's hand again with that same familiar warm feeling inside.

----------------------------

"YES JESSICA!" I hollered as she threw back her 9th shot of vodka.

"Babes, I'm drunk," as she leaned her head on my shoulder drawing out the last word she spoke as I sipped on another mixed drink of mine. I had six drinks by now and was definitely feeling it. The drinks had me feeling a certain way, different than anytime before. When Jesy touched my thighs, a certain unknown but familiar feeling in my stomach would bubble up. But once again, this is how it is drinking with all of your friends, isn't it?

She placed a large kiss on my cheek and left it linger and then burst into a fit of giggles. Her laughter felt so far away due to the volume in the club but I had never felt closer to her than I had in this moment. My already warm cheeks seemed to be getting redder by the second and I couldn't stop staring at her.
