"Cheers to that!" I grab another shot and shoot it down.

"I'm going to get more shots and drinks!" I see Violet walk over to the bar and come back with a pile of drinks.

"Holy shit."

"Holy shit is right. Tonight, we're going to celebrate!" Violet hands us shots and drinks to use as chasers. We drink a couple of shots, and I look at Violet and Charlotte.

"OH MY GOSH! This is my song! We need to dance," Violet looks at me weirdly.

"Oh hell no. I'm not near drunk enough to dance-" I pull Charlotte and Violet's arms to the dance floor.

"Come on you grandma. Dance with me!" I start dancing to the music and grid against Charlotte. I hear her laugh.

"I haven't seen you pull those moves in a long time!" Charlotte dances with me. I see Violet shrug her shoulders and start dancing, too.

I see someone grinding against me. I look and see some random dude. I push the dude away.

"What the fuck, dude. Get the hell away from me," I see him grin.

"Come on, baby. We were having fun," He tries to touch me, and I punch him hard in the face. Charlotte and Violet grab me and pull me away.

"You try to touch me again, and I'll do more than fuck up your nose!"

"You crazy bitch!"

"The fuck did he say," I turn around. Violet and Charlotte hold me back.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to get us kicked out?"

"I'm about to fuck that dude up. Grinding against me. Who the fuck do he think he is?" I hear Violet and Charlotte laugh.

"You're drunk. You always want to fight someone when you're drunk. You're lucky the music was too loud for anyone to notice," I laugh.

"Did you see the look on his face? He looked like a bitchhhh!" Violet and Charlotte laugh. I take more shots and chase it down with my drink.

"That shit's gooood!"

"How many shots did she have?" I hear Violet say to Charlotte as I chug my chaser.

"I don't know. How many did you buy?"

"I didn't buy that much," I see Charlotte roll her eyes.

"You know she's an easy drunk," I laugh.

"You both know I'm right here. Right? I'm invisible am I?" I gasp.

"Oh MY GOD, I'm invisible!" I see Charlotte roll her eyes.

"You're not invisible, drunky," I look at my drink.

"Oh, I need a new drink. Mine disappeared. I'll go get one!" I hear Violet laugh.

"Try not to start a fight this time," I roll my eyes.

"I told you that bitch had it coming," I hear Violet laugh, and I walk to the bar.

"One pina colada please!"

"ID?"

"Ooo, I haven't been asked for an ID in a long time," I pull out my wallet and show him my ID.

"One pina colada on the house for the birthday girl," I laugh.

"Awee, thanks!" I see the bartender turn around making my drink, and I look around at all the people in the club. This music and the people dancing make me want to dance. Maybe I should dance more when I get to the girls. I look around and see a familiar mask. Either I'm hallucinating, or is that Mr. Winters?

Holy shit, it is! I look next to him. I see a gorgeous lady in an expensive purple dress with an updo fancy hairstyle with fancy jewelry. Awe, he's on a date. Weird place to have a date though. Wait a minute. That bitch thinks he can claim me and get angry when I'm with someone, but decides to go on a date with whoever he wants? Hell no! That whore!

"Here's your drink, ma'am," I smile at the bartender.

"Thank you!" I give the bartender a tip and make my way to Mr. Winters.

"Heyyy, Mr. Winters! It's nice seeing you here! Who is this absolutely gorgeous lady you're here with?" I hear the lady laugh.

"Do you know this woman, Mr. Winters?"

"Evangeline Stone, please to meet you," I set my drink down and hold out my hand for her to shake, and she shakes it. I see Mr. Winters getting angry. I smile at the lady, not caring about him.

"If you're wondering, I'm a friend of Mr. Winters. I never did catch your name," I hear her laugh.

"Is that so? I didn't know Mr. Winters had any friends. The name's Stephanie Waltons," I smile at her.

"Nice to meet you Stephanie Waltons. I have to go to the restroom and throw up now," I hear her laugh, and I gag.

"Oh, you're serious. I'll help you to the restroom," Stephanie helps me to the restroom, and I run into a stall and start barfing into a toilet. I hear Stephanie come in and grab my hair. I barf even more.

"God, I'm never eating pickles again," I hear her laugh as I barf more.

"So, how close are you to Mr. Winters?"

"Depends on which way you look at it. I've only known him for a couple of weeks, but I'd say pretty close."

"How is Mr. Winters as a person?"

"Mr. Winters's a mysterious, rude, selfish, and strict person who should not be messed with, or so I've heard. From my perspective, he's the most kind, selfless person I've ever met. Sure, he doesn't talk much, but he's sweet. He's the nicest person I've met in a long time. The last time I saw him, he tried to say I was his, but I said I'm my own person, and he doesn't own me. He gave me a jet ride here in Seattle. I guess anger just built up, and I couldn't control myself when I saw him with you. Mr. Winters deserves a nice person like you," I hear her laugh. I flush the toilet, go to the sink, and start washing my hands.

"Men are complicated. That's why I, myself, prefer women," I wash my mouth out and look at her confused.

"What do you mean by that?" I say as I grab paper towels to dry off. I turn around towards her. Stephanie walks closer to me.

"Let me demonstrate," She cups my cheeks and kisses me on the lips. I push her away.

"What the fuck? Why the hell did you kiss me for? Aren't you supposed to be Mr. Winters's date?" I hear her laugh.

"Heavens no. I'm not on a date with him. For one, I don't like him, and I'm here for a business deal with him, and two I'm lesbian. Plus, I wanted to see if your lips were as tasty as they looked, and they were," I roll my eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't groove that way," I see her laugh.

"You know you're very funny. You're just the breath of fresh air that this night needed," I look at her confused.

"Well, I better get you back to Mr. Winters. He seemed angry. That I arrived," I hear her laugh.

"Are you sure about that? Because from the moment you walked into the door of the club, he was distracted, staring at someone while we were talking, and I wondered who it was. Now, I know. If, I saw you enter, I would keep staring at you too. I mean, look at you," I see Stephanie look me up and down biting her lip. I see her look at my lips.

"Please, I'm not that eye-catching. Plus, this isn't a fairy tale where the guys watches the girl the whole time and don't even think about kissing me again," I hear her laugh.

"Don't worry. I won't, but it is tempting," I roll my eyes.

"Let's just get you back to Mr. Winters," Stephanie and I start walking back to Mr. Winters with Stephanie following me, and I can feel her looking at my ass.

"Hey, Mr. Winters. I'm back! Did you miss me?" I hear him say nothing, and I hear Stephanie laugh.

"Me and Evangeline had a pleasant talk in the restroom while she was throwing up," I see her look at me and grin. I roll my eyes.

"Yep, sure did. It was very, interesting, but yeah. Totally dude," I hear Stephanie talking to Mr. Winters, but her words sound fuzzy. Oh shit, am I about to pass out? My body starts feeling heavy. I see Stephanie and Mr. Winters looking at me, and I look at Mr. Winters. My vision goes black as I lose control over my body, feeling myself fall and something catching me.

I open my eyes. I lift my head off the pillow and look around my old poney theme room. Am I dreaming? Or was it a dream? I get out of bed and go to the kitchen. I see my dad sitting in a chair drinking coffee and reading a newspaper.

"Pumpkin doodle, what are you doing out of bed? You still have one hour to sleep before waking up for school."

"I had a bad dream," I hear myself respond without control.

"Awe, come here," I see him put down the newspaper, and I walk to him. He lifts me, puts me on his lap, and hugs me. His hug gives me warmth.

"Feel better?" I look at Dad.

"You're not real. Oh, how I wish you were. Violet and I miss you so, but you're gone," I see him smile.

"I'm always here in your heart, little one," The smell of his cologne warms me up. That's not Dad's cologne. I open my eyes and look around the unfamiliar comfy bed.

"Oh, good you're awake," My head pounds as I hear Mr. Winters's voice. I see a bright light coming from the window.

"It's morning already?" He chuckles.

"Yes, it's morning. You had quite a night last night," I hold my head as I realize I'm in a bed.

"Where the hell am I?" I hear him chuckle as I see him grab a glass of water and pills from the nightstand, next to the bed.

"Here take these. It'll help with the pain in your head," I see him hold the pills in the palm of his hand. I grab the pills and the water from his other hand and take them.

"Wouldn't be the first time I've taken random pills. Plus, you didn't answer my question," Mr. Winters laughs.

"You know, I met your sister yesterday, and she's exactly like you. I swear, I thought she was going to chew me off for taking you home," I look at him weirdly.

"Home?" I hear Mr. Winters chuckle.

"Yes. My house," I stare into his blue eyes, confused.

"Why would you bring me to your house? Last time I talked to you, you were mad at me for interrupting your business trip," I hear Mr. Winters laugh.

"You don't remember, do you?" I shake my head no. I smell a reeking odor coming from me. I make a disgusting face.

"What's wrong?"

"I smell like a day-old bar and barf," I hear him laugh.

"You are more than welcome to use my shower," I look at Mr. Winters concerned.

"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to ruin it with my stank," I hear him laugh.

"Nonsense. Go ahead and shower, and I'll tell you what happened afterward. I'll have fresh towels brought up for you," I nod. I watch Mr. Winters leave the room.

I go to his restroom and try to adjust the shower. I strip and get in the shower. I close my eyes as I feel the hot water hit my chest. I smell Mr. Winters's cologne as I feel his hand on my back sliding to my stomach. I open my eyes, turn around, and see nothing, but the wall and soap.

Why the hell was I thinking of Mr. Winters touching me in the shower?
