:“There she is,” Ernie said.

We were both watching Brittany make a fool of herself dancing on a long table in her short red slip dress. God, she looked so good. She was barefooted and looked like she was about to bare it all in front of everyone.

“How many has she had?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” Ernie exclaimed. “But way too many if you ask me.”

Well, it was up to me to rescue her, before she made a complete fool of herself. I raced over to her as she was about to slip her dress off, but she lost her balance and fell on her knees. I helped her off the table and onto her feet. She leaned her body against mine. God, I wish she wouldn’t do that, but I guess she was about to fall. I wasn’t about to to let that happen.

She looked into my eyes and steadied her gaze. “Alvin?” she said with a giggle. “What are you doing here?”

“Taking you home,” I said.

“No, no, this is a party. I wanna have fun.” She was pouting a little, while slurring her words.

“Looks like you had a little too much fun,” I said.

“Dance with me,” she said. “Then we can have another drink and get this party going.”

“No, Brittany, I’m taking you home,” I said, desperately trying to hold her up.

“You want to take me home, huh?” she asked. “Sounds good to me.” She pulled herself up and gave me a hard sloppy kiss. “A sample of things to come.” There was something about her I couldn’t resist. I had forgotten for a moment why I had come to the party and returned her kiss.

Brittany lost her balance again which pulled me back to reality. I scooped her up in my arms and carried her out.

As I carried her out into the night air she began to stir in my arms. She looked up at the night sky then back at me. “Hey, where are we going?” she asked.

“Like I said I’m taking you home.”

“Take me home?” she giggled. “Yea, I want you to take me home.” She nuzzled on my neck which drove me completely crazy.
