Signaling the bartender, I order three shots of tequila and tell hi I say, "He’s paying"

Greg shakes his head but pulls out his wallet and hands his credit card over to the bartender to start a tab

"Botto all three shots

We spent about an hour at the bar, just taking in the atoal is fun and mine is to become numb

I had just stolen her second Jack and Coke the bartender put down before she could drink it I look at her, smirk and down it

"Seriously, Iz…you can’t even pretend to share?" She has a s and she isn’t happy about it but being the friend she is, means she will stand by my side and catch me when I fall

I had just ordered us a round of Tight Snatches, vodka, peach schnapps, orange and cranberry juice, when I catch their eyes onto my decision to only order off the wall drinks but when I looked closer, I saw it; the concern, the worry, and the uncertainty on how to proceed

I picked upparty! You’re only thirty once, whoooohoooo!" I’, I look up at Greg, catching his eye as he looks down atthat his friend is well and truly sloshed I can see his lip twitching, trying so hard to reuard

The hell with this

Laughing even harder, I grab their hands and drag them out to the middle of the dance floor Belatedly, I notice how much easier it is to walk on these sticks when you can’t feel your legs Lesson nuand it was beautiful

The song changes to the familiar beats of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ ‘Can’t Hold Us’ It fills, who is still trying his hardest not to laugh I let the music take over my body, invaderhyth different there Dee iswith me, just as enthralled with the ive her the first real smile I have felt all day She kno to e…before Brandon that is With a wink to clue her in to ’s neck Even with my heels I have to co, I begin to move with his tall frarab ahold of ives ether I can feel the ruainst my chest when he whispers in h up at hi He hates dancing but Dee and I have o out, to torture hi; it didn’t mean he had to like it He puts up with this because he wouldn’t dare leave our sides He knohat kind of trouble the two of us could get into

When the song ends we head off laughing to the bar, once again, with the excuse to rehydrate Maybe that’s the case for the the alcohol I just burned off on the dance floor I can feeland we can’t have that

We’ve been at Carnal for a few hours now The last tiain the ti, who says it’s a little after 1:30 in the o with that

Dee and I have been taking turns ordering the eous drinks we can think of; with the help of our phones and Google of course

"Gimmie two Golden Showers, bartender!" I scream across the bar When did someone take my last drink? What was that one? A blow job, I think Yes, that was it We spent a good fifteendrink one He is currently giving us a look of extre for Greg to deep throat his blow job was hilarious Just ask the custoh

Even during ti better with his ti anywhere else He’s been a constant presence inbrother I never had, always there when I needed hi around the crowd that he has slipped back into that protectoris out to get hihts, especially not after the package I can tell when Greg looks at ht break at any hts are the sahts with a high pitched screech "YO bitch, drink up! I got you one of those pull down pussy things, no…it was the pussy panty pull-down? Fuck" She spits the word out with so much frustration she almost falls off her stool She looks over atto decide if she is ot to the club to begin with

"That’s not right, Dee! Greg! Greg, tell her the right pussy! You know pussy, right Greg?" I laugh up at hi why his frown is wobbling

"You two are drivingcrazy Just because I know my pussy doesn’tit down, I dalass For shits sake, get soht pussy" He shakes his head at us both "If you touch one ot me?"

Well He thinks he runs this show, does he?
