The Next Morning

The morning after our New Years Eve bash I rolled over to find Shy Girl sleeping in Cindy's extra bed next to me, snoring. No, no we didn't sleep together. In fact, she had passed out on the floor shortly after midnight and Cindy and I had deposited her on the bed, where she stayed the rest of the night. But why was I here and where was Chloe?

It took me a hangover moment, but I remembered.

After Shy Girl was tucked in bed, Cindy turned up the music, (her latest favorite was Tiesto) and started dancing. She grabbed my waist from behind and started grinding my butt.

"Oh yeah, let's dance baby!," Cindy shouted.

"You pig," I laughed and played along."



Cindy's new girlfriend came over to claim her hips and save me from another round of butt humping. I looked around and saw that Stalker was slowly coming over toward me, looking for a dance, I grabbed the hand of Katie, a tall blond that Jane had a crush on. Jane looked otherwise occupied with one of the girls from speed dating and Chloe was dancing with one of Cindy's friends, so I started dancing with Katie. Katie put her arms around me, quite intimately, and pulled me closer to her . She smelled like powder and vanilla. She brought her face extremely close to mine as we danced and then brushed her cheek against mine and whispered, "Crazy is coming over. I hate that girl. She tried to grab me earlier,"

Then I felt a hand on my butt. It was Katie's! "Just play along with me, please," she whispered again in my ear and then brushed her cheek to mine again. Katie and I spun adjusted so I was facing Stalker, who looked visibly annoyed at the two of us dancing.

"It's working. She's pissed. God, you smell good," I replied nervously.

Katie started nuzzling my neck. "You smell really good too. Is that Dolce?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said faintly. Katie's fingers were circling my hip bones as we danced. I grabbed at her belt loops and went with it. There was no way Stalker would interrupt us like when we were dancing like this.

Then I heard a commotion behind me. "Oh my God!" Katie said and stopped dancing. I turned around and saw Chloe dancing wildly in a blue bra. Her abs were killer. She was immediately surrounded by every single woman in the room.

"Damn, she has an awesome body," Katie said and winked at me.

"Yes, she's pretty great," I replied and looked longingly at Chloe who was dancing with two cute girls and Stalker.

"But I'm pretty content holding this body," Katie said and pulled me close.

Katie was seductive and pretty, but I knew Chloe and I really liked her (and I had been kissing her just an hour ago in the bathroom) "Thanks," I replied, blushing, "but I really should go over there and break that scene up. It's just a matter of time before Stalker tries to remove her bra. "

"Okay, go get her, stud. Just know, I'm available if things don't work out with her, Ruby," Katie said and kissed my cheek.

I made my way over to Chloe and grabbed her around the waist from behind and started dancing with her. She turned around and kissed me. "Finally," she said and pulled me close. She put a leg in between mine as we danced. "It took forever to get you away from that girl. The only thing I could think of that would distract you was taking off my shirt."

"Thank God you did," I said. "Things with getting pretty hot and heavy," I said, laughing and I kissed her again.

"Blue is your color after all," I said playing with her bra strap.

"Now we have to take off your shirt and see what your color is," Chloe said and tried to pull up my shirt. I backed away, laughing.

"I wouldn't mind seeing that," Stalker said loudly, as she danced with one of Cindy's friends. "Take it off of her!"

Chloe grabbed my hand and shook her head and we made our way to the bathroom for another private kissing session.

When we returned everyone had pretty much started passing out. People were passed out everywhere. Chloe kissed my hand. "There's a spot in the bedroom," Chloe said. "You go sleep in the bed and I'll sleep on the floor to make sure no funny business goes on."

And so that's how I came to be sleeping next to Shy Girl.

I got up and saw Chloe was still sleeping on the floor. I walked into the living room. Almost everyone from the party had left. There was loud moaning from Cindy's room. Typical.

I walked back into the bedroom and woke Shy Girl up. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Hey sweetie," she said, and started to turn green. "I'm okay. I've a bit of a headache, and I should run to the bathroom."

Once Shy Girl emerged from the bathroom she awkwardly apologized. She kissed me on the cheek as she left. "I'll call you tomorrow. Maybe we can go out for dinner," she said.

"Sure," I said awkwardly and smiled. "I wasn't sure how to tell her that I hooked up with Chloe in the bathroom while she was passed out.

After she left I went to the fridge. "What's for breakfast?" Chloe said sleepily.

"You," I replied and grabbed a can of whipped cream from the fridge. - Ruby
