So I ended up typing out a note, on my computer, in really large letters, and clipping it to my door.
Nick-
Thanks, but no thanks.
I am seeing someone.
Please stop leaving me notes.
P.S. My name isn't Pam.
So I'm pretty sure he got the hint. I left the note there for 2 days, and I finally took it down this morning. And, I haven't gotten any more notes! YAYY!! So hopefully, that's the end of that, and he'll stop lurking around my courtyard.
Well I hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day. I, myself, stayed home and went to bed early. I'm just not really into St. Pat's. I mean, in the past, I always had to bartend, and put up with all the drunken idiots. And now that I don't have to bartend, I still can't do anything, since I have to get up early in the morning. Plus, me and Mary, and my 2 new officemates, Veronica and Dana, are going out for drinks after work today. So I figured 2 days in a row might not be a good idea.
So yesterday, I stayed home, watched a movie with Jasper, and worked on my new photography website. The designing part is finished, and looks awesome, I just need to add more photos to it.
And while I was laying in bed yesterday, I got a text from Law School, asking if I was out. I told him no, I wasn't feeling great so I stayed home. Which is true, cuz I woke up with a sore throat on Tuesday morning. I think I kicked that already though, with vitamins and Emergen-C packets. Thank God! But it has been a while since I've heard from Law School. He left a message on my Facebook yesterday too. Some stupid corny joke. Lol. I still have a birthday card for him from a month ago! Maybe I'll give him a call tonight and stop by and give it to him.
So I'm not sure if I mentioned before, that I moved into a new office, with Veronica and Dana. At first I really didn't wanna move, cuz I really liked sitting by Mary, and I was in a cubicle that had PRIVACY. Mary wasn't thrilled about me leaving either. Lol. But now I'm ok with it I guess. I mean, I share this office with Dana and Veronica, but we all face away from each other, and pretty much mind our own business. But I like that I have an actual desk with drawers! So I hung up some of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comics, along with some photos. And now I can keep my books and purse in a drawer. So even though I don't get as much privacy, and I see my boss a lot more than I used to, it's not so bad being in here.
Dave and I were supposed to go motorcycle riding this weekend. But he was going to rent one, and there are no rentals left in Houston! :( He had a bike when he first moved here, but he sold it cuz he said it was so hot that summer, and now he regrets it. We've been having a lot of nice weather lately! So he said he's gonna get another bike soon. And I do think it's really awesome that he rides. I LOOOOOOVE riding motorcycles. That's the one thing I miss about Daniel. Haha. Last I heard though, he sold his Ducati, and got something else. LAME. But whatever. Dave and I can't go regardless. Maybe next weekend.
Things with all my friends are getting better. Bethany and I are good, Melissa and I are good, and Alyssa and I are the road to being good. We still haven't really hung out or had a chance to talk, but now that she's working back at the bar again, I see her more, so we get to goof off and chit chat during our shifts. She texted me asking me if I was doing anything last night too. Maybe she and I can get together this weekend since Dave and I can't go riding. She has a bridal shower coming up too. I better go check my calendar and find out when it is. I still need to get her something!
Dave just texted me that he is renting a bike for the weekend! Yay!! I wonder where he got it from?? I guess our plans are still on then. I hope he has helmets...

I'm Being Stalked By My Neighbor
Boy, has it been an interesting weekend... But before I get into this weekend, let me tell you about Wednesday night. Cecilia had to cancel on me for our plans to go to the rodeo. Her deadbeat ex husband told her he couldn't watch their daughter, and she wasn't able to find a sitter. So I invited her friend, Alex, to come. Alex and I were both bridesmaids in Cecilia's wedding, and since we're both 2 of Cecilia's closest friends, we know and like each other. She's tons of fun, actually. So anyways, I still had 2 extra tickets, and I'd posted something on Facebook about them, hoping someone would want them. So the day of the show, Boston texts me, asking if I still had an extra ticket. And without thinking, I told him he could come with us. That is, without thinking about the fact that Dave was gonna be there, and we were planning on meeting up at the Carnival. And Boston was so gung-ho about it, that I couldn't bear to tell him no.
Oh well, I thought, how bad could it possibly be?
So Alex met me at my place after work, and then we drove my car to the bar and parked. Boston picked us up at the bar, and drove us to the lightrail. One we got to the carnival, I met up with Dave. I was expecting to see him fully decked out in cowboy uniform, but strangely, he was wearing the same Nike tennis shoes that he always wears, every time I see him. Alex immediately started referring to him as, Tennis Shoes. Lol. I could tell Boston felt a little weird, cuz it was obvious that me meeting up with Dave was...more than just a casual friendship type thing. But what can ya do? So I left Boston in Alex's very capable hands, while Dave and I went to go ride the Tilt-A-Whirl, which turned out to be tons of fun! In retrospect, it's a good thing that I went with Alex instead of Cecilia, because she's so outgoing and fun, and she'll talk to anyone. She acted as if she'd known the guys her whole life, even though she'd just met them that night. So it was great, and we had a blast.
When it was time for us to head inside and take our seats for the show, we all walked in together. Dave came up with us to our seats, even though he was sitting a level above us, with his sister. We walked around for a bit, and then parted ways. Dave mentioned that he might come back down for a song or 2 later. So we grabbed some snacks and sat down. Boston actually left for a while to go say hi to some friends, but he came back towards the end of the show. Dave never ended up coming back down.
When the show ended, Boston asked if we wanted to go to the Rodeo bar for a bit, but I had to say no, since I needed to get up early the next day. And there's no such thing as going for "just one drink" when it comes to the rodeo. Better safe than sorry!
Boston looked really disappointed, so Alex and I told him to go ahead. It was about 10:45; we could just walk or get a cab back to the bar from the lightrail. He hesitated, but in the end, he went to the bar, and we headed to the lightrail.
Well the line to actually get on the lightrail was ridiculous!! We stood there for like 45 minutes in a huge, hot, crowd of people, and we were both dying of thirst, and aching feet. So by the time we got off the lightrail, it was already midnight. We didn't see any cabs around, and it was foggy as hell outside. So we started walking. Alex kept saying she was afraid of getting mugged, because of the recent spike in crime in the area. That was when we realized we had walked 4 blocks in the wrong direction. Ugh... I usually have a good sense of direction, but the lightrail completely threw me off. So we turned around and started walking back.
"I can't believe Boston just left us to fend for ourselves at midnight in the middle of midtown!" Alex said.
"I know! I'm texting him right now, 'I hate you. We are no longer friends'." I laughed.
A car full of shifty looking individuals stopped and offered us a ride, which obviously, we declined. Then, a strange man on a bicycle kept riding past us, back and forth, back and forth... By this time, Alex and I were both a little more than nervous. Finally, when we were about a block away from the car, we saw a cab, which we grabbed anyway, since our feet were hurting so bad. When we got to my bar, we went inside to get a couple bottles of watter for our parched lips, and there was Boston!! Already there, sitting at the bar, drinking a beer! Both of us were irate.
"Well LOOK who's here!" Alex said, drawing my attention to him.
"What the hell!?" I yelled at him.
"I got a ride, I thought you guys would have been back already!" He said defensively, with 'GUILTY' written all over his face.
"I texted you!" I said, "Do you realize how far we had to walk!? It's midnight, and it's foggy, and we were being followed by creepers in cars and on bicycles! You could have at least called to make sure we made it back!"
"I'm sorry! Don't be mad!" He said.
"Oh, I'm mad!" I said, and Alex and I stormed out.
And instantly, my Dave vs. Boston situation was solved. Not that there ever really was a situation. But it gets better...
The next morning, Boston texted me again, "You can't be mad at me."
"Yes I can. And I am." I wrote.
Boston: Why??
Me: You KNOW why! You left us at the rodeo, cuz you said you wanted to go to Happy Trails, or whatever the hell that bar is, but really you just wanted to hook up with those slores, and Alex and I ended up walking like 10 blocks through midtown in the middle of the night, in the fog!
Boston: I guess that wasn't very gentlemanly of me, but A) They weren't slores, they were friends, and they offered me a ride, and B) you went to the rodeo to meet up with another guy and C) it's called The Hideout, and you can't go to the rodeo without going to The Hideout!
Me: A) I didn't go to the rodeo "to meet up with another guy", I didn't even know he was going to be there until earlier that day, and B) WTF does that have to do with anything!!???
Boston: A) I guess it doesn't have to do with anything...
Me: Bottom line, you shouldn't have left us, but whatever. Now that I got that off my chest, I'm over it.
Boston: Ok.
So clearly, Boston was jealous. ((Sigh)) And apparently it's no secret around the bar that he likes me, either.
That night, Melissa and I went to see Avatar 3D. She had never seen it, and I really wanted to watch it again. Btw, I can't remember if I wrote about how Melissa and I talked and worked out everything about our argument. Did I?? If not, I'll fill you guys in. But anyways, she was 30 minutes late to the movie cuz she got lost! Ugh... And THEN I left my stupid phone in the movie theater and someone stole it! So I've been all weekend without a phone. Which has realllly sucked, but I should be getting my replacement in the mail today.
So now, let me get to this weekend...
On Friday when I got home from job #1, I had a Facebook message from Dave. He wanted to get together that afternoon, cuz he was going to San Antonio for the weekend. But obviously, I couldn't hang out since I had yet to go to job #2. So when I walked out my door to head to the door, I noticed I had a note clipped to my door.
??
"Pam-
I have wanted to get to know you since the first day I met you. I know this may seem weird, writing you a note instead of talking to you in person, but I didn't know how else to do it. I live in apartment __ and I would really like to take you out to dinner Sweety. I think that your beautiful and I would love to get to know you. My number is ____, please call me anytime.
-Nick"
First of all...who the f*ck is Pam!? It took me a minute to figure out WHO it was that had written this note, and initially I thought, This guy must have the wrong apartment! But then I realized who it was...
This guy that used to live in my courtyard, but he moved to a different apartment in the complex. I've said hi to him a few times while walking Jasper, cuz he used to always stand outside his apt and smoke. But this guy is like....30-35, and he lives with his father in a 2 bedroom apartment! Not to mention he thinks my name is PAM, he has absolutely NO GAME, he clearly can't spell for shit, he's obviously a chain smoker, and he isn't even remotely attractive! Ugh... I shoved the note in my purse and left for work.
I showed it to some of my coworkers while we were counting money at the end of the night, and we all had a good laugh about it. Unfortunately, I left that note sitting on the table.
The next day, I woke up around 1pm, and went to let the dog out. I had already put his leash on, and I opened the door and was still inside the door, grabbing my keys, when I noticed Nick standing out there, in his old spot, in front of his old apt, smoking.
!!!
I yanked Jasper back inside and quickly shut the door. Jasper wasn't happy about that, but I crouched down on the floor and peaked through the blinds. It was apparent that Nick had seen me open and close the door, as he was staring up in my direction. Dammit! I sat there in front of the window for a while, waiting for him to leave, but he wouldn't budge. So finally I just went back to my room. Thirty minutes later, I finally let the dog out.
I had 2 more photoshoots on Saturday, which went well! I did the shoot near some railroad tracks over by Ben's house. He and Summer actually drove by while we were out there, and I chatted with them for a bit. They were getting ready for a ski trip. Lucky...
Anyway, Saturday night as I was leaving for work, I found another note on my door. I didn't even open this one, I angrily shoved it into my purse again, and hurried out to my car, hoping Nick wasn't watching me from a window somewhere. When I got in the car, I opened it.
"Pam-
I know this is not a great way to ask someone out, but I just feel this is the way to ask you, for some reason. Feel free to text me about any thing. I would love to get to know you better, Sweety. [555-555-5555 Nick] Anytime. If u want me to leave u alone, let me know, either way please. I've wanted to get to know you since the first time I saw you. You are so beautiful and you seem to have a great personaility. Text me.
?
-Nick
P.S. I'm not stopping until you talk to me"
UUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!
FUCKING CREEPER!!! WHAT THE HELL!???
And yes, he spelled personality wrong.
I'm definitely going to inform him how completely UNINTERESTED I am the next time I see him! I don't wanna call or text him, cuz I don't want him to have my number, and I haven't had a phone anyways. But omg...I have to look out the blinds before I leave my apartment now! ((Sigh))
I mean, I'm pretty sure he's harmless really. I don't want to get the apartment office involved or anything like that. I just want him to leave me alone! Jenna says I can go stay with her, now that she's all moved in. Lol. I also thought about convincing one of my guy friends to come over and act boyfriendly. But there's no way to guarantee Nick will see.
Anybody have any suggestions? Cuz I'm open to ALLLLL suggestions!
Oh well, I thought, how bad could it possibly be?

Grand Opening!
YAY for Christmas!!
Sophie got here on Christmas Eve, which I had to work, so that kinda sucked... The other thing that I'd been feeling apprehensive about lately was The Model. I knew he was going to be in town, and Melissa said Mitchell had texted her and said they'd be going up to my work at some point.
But Christmas Day was nice! And I finally got my own CAMERA! Like a really nice Sony SLR. I'm so excited! ANNNNND, Jenna's sister, Amy, saw the pics I took of Jenna in our photoshoot, and now Amy wants me to do a boudoir shoot of her as a wedding present to her fiance! So that's gonna be exciting! I may actually be able to get this business off the ground!
So in other news, I took Sophie out to midtown Christmas night for her late 21st birthday celebration. She just turned 21 on the 22nd. Melissa and the gang met up, and we had an awesome time! We just hung out at my bar mostly because they were the only place that was open. But I managed to get Sophie drunk, so it was a success!
Unfortunately, Sophie was only here for 3 days, and she left yesterday afternoon, so that was kind of a bummer. We spend the day after Christmas at Todd's family's house. They're English and we always have a traditional Boxing Day celebration at their house. Everyone rewraps a goofy present and brings it to exchange. It's really fun. And I haven't really gotten to hang out with Todd much cuz he's been gone at school. He's on the football team and he's definitely going to be drafted into the NFL! He's set all kinds of records this year. I'm so proud of him! So while we were there, I invited Todd to come out with me to the grand opening of my works new bar. They've been working on this new shot bar for months, and The Albanian is the general manager. So of course, everyone from work was gonna be at the grand opening! So Todd said he would come!
So a few hours later, I was in my favorite white tube top, which I tied a festive red ribbon around the waste, and we were ready! Todd picked me up in his brand new red BMW. SOOO nice...
And the shot bar is freakin' awesome! It's like a new home away from home! Same people, same owners, just a different location! I love it! And I don't think I spent a penny all night! My cousin Paul, and Melissa met us up too that night. Paul was acting very strangely though...he kinda had me worried cuz of his recent stint in rehab for concaine. But anyways, I got soooooo hammered!
And I have to add that Mr. P. is like one of the sexiest men EVER! But the thing that really sticks out in my mind about that night, is how well Todd took care of me. I ended up getting so drunk, I puked in the bathroom, and confessed my undying love for Todd to Alyssa. At least I can trust her!
But...I mean, it's kind of true. Todd has always been one of my best friends, and he's such a great guy. I love him to death! AND he meets all of my standards: tall, attractive, smart, kind, he has everything going for him...
Except that he's not single. ((sigh)) What is it with me always wanting the guys I can't have?? Do I just like to torchure myself or something? ((sigh))
I've been harboring these feelings for Todd for quite some time now, but I've just been in denial about it because...well number one, he has a girlfriend who I really like! And obviously he loves her. And number 2, if they break up, I dunno what to do! I mean, I don't know how to be anything other than his friend! And it's not like I can be my usual forward self with him. I mean, like the way I am with guys I'm crushing on. Grrr this is so frustrating! I can hardly wrap my head around it.
Moving on...
Ok I'm not sure if I mentioned this before or not, but Sophie is getting married! Yea, married. January 8th. Because she and Brent are hippies and they're joining the Peace Corps, and in order to go together they have to be married for 6 months beforehand. So they're having an anti-ceremony in just a few days. Of course I'm gonna go! So I'll be in Florida for about a week in January. It seems so crazy, right!?
Ok, and New Years Eve? I have to work. And it's gonna suck. Although I did give invites to Jenna, Melissa, Charlotte, Mackenzie, and Amanda. I dunno, maybe it'll be fun. We'll see...
Mitch Of The Day:
"I've got a wallet, it's orange. In case I wanna buy a deer. That doesn't make any sense at all."
Sophie got here on Christmas Eve, which I had to work, so that kinda sucked... The other thing that I'd been feeling apprehensive about lately was The Model. I knew he was going to be in town, and Melissa said Mitchell had texted her and said they'd be going up to my work at some point.

He's set all kinds of records this year. I'm so proud of him! So while we were there, I invited Todd to come out with me to the grand opening of my works new bar. They've been working on this new shot bar for months, and The Albanian is the general manager. So of course, everyone from work was gonna be at the grand opening! So Todd said he would come!
So a few hours later, I was in my favorite white tube top, which I tied a festive red ribbon around the waste, and we were ready! Todd picked me up in his brand new red BMW. SOOO nice...
And the shot bar is freakin' awesome! It's like a new home away from home! Same people, same owners, just a different location! I love it! And I don't think I spent a penny all night! My cousin Paul, and Melissa met us up too that night. Paul was acting very strangely though...he kinda had me worried cuz of his recent stint in rehab for concaine. But anyways, I got soooooo hammered!
And I have to add that Mr. P. is like one of the sexiest men EVER! But the thing that really sticks out in my mind about that night, is how well Todd took care of me. I ended up getting so drunk, I puked in the bathroom, and confessed my undying love for Todd to Alyssa. At least I can trust her!
But...I mean, it's kind of true. Todd has always been one of my best friends, and he's such a great guy. I love him to death! AND he meets all of my standards: tall, attractive, smart, kind, he has everything going for him...
Except that he's not single. ((sigh)) What is it with me always wanting the guys I can't have?? Do I just like to torchure myself or something? ((sigh))
I've been harboring these feelings for Todd for quite some time now, but I've just been in denial about it because...well number one, he has a girlfriend who I really like! And obviously he loves her. And number 2, if they break up, I dunno what to do! I mean, I don't know how to be anything other than his friend! And it's not like I can be my usual forward self with him. I mean, like the way I am with guys I'm crushing on. Grrr this is so frustrating! I can hardly wrap my head around it.
Moving on...
Ok I'm not sure if I mentioned this before or not, but Sophie is getting married! Yea, married. January 8th. Because she and Brent are hippies and they're joining the Peace Corps, and in order to go together they have to be married for 6 months beforehand. So they're having an anti-ceremony in just a few days. Of course I'm gonna go! So I'll be in Florida for about a week in January. It seems so crazy, right!?
Ok, and New Years Eve? I have to work. And it's gonna suck. Although I did give invites to Jenna, Melissa, Charlotte, Mackenzie, and Amanda. I dunno, maybe it'll be fun. We'll see...

My Big Mistake
Ok, now that I've finally finished writing about NY, I have a lot of catching up to do! So here goes...
My first week back, I worked, obviously. And I seriously needed to after all the money I had spent! Oh, and we have a hot new door guy! His name is Jake. Well, on that first Sunday, I worked from 4 to 10. And afterwards, I stayed and had a couple drinks with Valerie. I know, totally random, since we have been known to butt heads in the past. But hey, I'm all about second chances, and she and I were having fun! We sat and played Photohunt on the little computer for a couple hours! Then, this weird guy named Lane came up and starting talking to us. If I had been by myself, I would have totally just ignored him, but Valerie kept talking to him! So I thought maybe she was interested or something. When we got tired of playing the game, we got up to walk around a little bit, and who do I see?? Billy. He's always been notorious for getting really drunk on Sundays. Anyways, he mentioned to me that he and his crew were going to this new bar, Zeppelin, that had just opened up. So after they left, I asked Valerie if she wanted to go check it out. She said, she'd be down, but she didn't have any cash on her. I told her not to worry, I'd spot her the cash and she could just pay me back later that night after we picked up our tips. So Valerie and I, and Lane, headed over to Zeppelin.
It was an ok bar I guess, but not one that I'd frequent. It was just too dark! I mean you couldn't even see anyone's faces! We had a couple rounds of shots, which I paid for, and danced and goofed off for a while. We were all having a pretty good time. I saw Billy too...making out with some ugly chick. Weird...
But then, around 1:30, Valerie came up to me and said, "Dude...we need to get outa here. Like, now. Something's about to go down."
I looked around. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"I dunno...we just need to leave. There's somethin' shady going on!"
"Um...ok, we can leave if you want but...I seriously don't think anything bad is about to happen."
Valerie must have been a lot drunker than I took her to be! She was acting so strange! I mean there was literally nothing happening at this bar. There were probably only about 35 people in there. So we walked outside, and Lane is asking me who's going to drive Valerie home, because we had all driven separately.
"Well, we're going back to our bar, so she should be fine for just the couple blocks. You drive behind her and she can follow me. That way we can watch her." I said.
For some reason, Valerie didn't know how to get back to work, even thought it was only about 2 blocks away. So she wanted to follow me. So we're driving along, and everything is fine. Then we turn onto the street where work is, and I guess she suddenly realized where we were. And as I was turning into the parking lot, she floored it and sped off! What the hell!? She owes me money!
I tried calling her to see what the deal was, but she didn't answer!
So Lane and I are standing in the parking lot, awkwardly, alone.
"Well...uh...I'm just gonna go in and pick up my tips." I said.
"Well, what about your friend? Do you know where she lives? Is she gonna be ok?" he asked.
"I dunno what is up with her! To tell you the truth, tonight was the first time I've ever hung out with her, so I don't know. And she's not answering her phone."
"Oh. Well ok then..." Awkward pause... "So can I call you sometime?" And there it was! The clincher!
"Um...sure!" I said in a falsely sweet voice. "Gimme your number."
I programmed it in as "Don't Answer", quickly said goodbye to him, and high-tailed it inside.
Nick was cleaning the bar, and Blinn and Mr. S. were hanging out. Blinn must have been out drinking with his brother, because as soon as I sat down, he told Nick to make us shots! I told Nick and Blinn what happened with Valerie, and they both agreed that it was very weird!
So while I was waiting for my money, Blinn and I decided to play a game of poker at the electronic table. And 3 games and several shots later, I was up 200 bucks! Blinn was out of control! Haha, he never gets beat! And I usually never have such great luck! It was crazy. But then we decided to play one more game, double or nothin' and I lost. So I had to give him back his 200 bucks. But oh well! At least I didn't lose any money!
By this time, Mr. S. and Nick were finished closing down the bar, so it was time to get outa there. But Blinn still wanted to play poker, and I had just started to get a buzz going, so I wasn't ready to turn in either! So we decided to head over to Blinns house for a couple more games. Blinn and The Albanian are cousins, and they had just moved into a new town house a few blocks away from work. It wasn't even furnished yet. And Mr. S. wanted to check it out, so he came with us. And let me tell you, this house is sooooooo nice! Three stories, with a garage, and all hard wood floors. It's beautiful! And huge! And I was having fun running around in my socks. Haha! Well, Mr. S. didn't stay long, and I don't think we ever got around to playing any more poker...
Blinn poured us each a glass of red wine, and we toured the house. Then we went out to his balcony and just talked...for what seemed like hours! And I was totally drunk by this point so I have no idea what we talked about.
But uh...eventually we ended up making out. And this is where things start to get realllllllly fuzzy! Because I know we messed around a little, and we were both totally wasted! It was just one of those really sloppy, drunken, thoughtless things! I ended up passing out on his futon/couch, which was incidentally the only piece of furniture in the place. And Blinn must have fallen asleep on the floor. Because the next morning, I woke up, dazed and confused, and he was in the corner by the window curled up in the fetal position on the floor. Lol.
Well, let me tell you what my first thoughts were upon waking: !@#$!%&!(%*!&#*#%*&!%^!!!!!!
Yea...
And my second thoughts? "I gotta get the hell outa here before he wakes up!"
So, as quietly as I could, I crept over to the counter, grabbed my purse, then my shoes, and started to walk towards the stairs.
Then he woke up.
"Uh...I tried not to wake you. I'm just gonna...go." I said awkwardly.
He mumbled something unintelligible. I half-ran down the stairs and out to my car. I wasn't even sure exactly where I was! But it didn't take me long to get my bearings. I was still in a state of shocked disbelief at what I had done!
What was I gonna do when I saw him at work next week??
Would he tell anyone?
What if everyone finds out??
Is it gonna be weird between us now?
What does he remember?
How should I act??!!
All these things were flashing through my mind so fast, and I think I was starting to have heart palpitations. I picked up my phone and called Alyssa. The only person at work I knew I could trust with a secret this big.
"OMG PEYTON ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" she said after I told her. "You didn't sleep with him, did you??"
"NO! Of course not. I'm just so...ashamed! I mean...what do I do!?"
She sighed. "Well...nothing I guess. I mean, do you like him?"
"NO! I mean, I'm not even really attracted to him! I've never even thought of him in that way! I dunno how it happened Alyssa, we were sooooo wasted! I can't even remember..."
"Well, then just act like nothing happened. I mean, he's not gonna say anything to you about it."
"I hope you're right. You cannot tell anyone!"
"I won't! I promise."
Oh g's...what have I gotten myself into??
