Back at it Again (One-on-One)

She nodded and took a breath.

“3...2...1!”

She tossed back the shot and cleared her throat, shaking her head to clear it.

 

(Zoop!)

Val and Landon staggered out of the bar about an hour later, leaning on each other. Val was giggling about something, her eyes foggy.

 

“You’re... you’re too drive to drunk. Let’s go to a park,” she slurred, leaning on him.

 

She stumbled before pointing down the dark street.

“Thissss way!” she slurred before leaning against a car.

“Ughhh. Maybe we should just stay hereee for now.”

 

She slid onto the ground next to him, laughing slightly.

“Here. The ground is a good idea...”

 

She patted his nose.

“We should just... you know what we should do? Just... just not go back to those two. You know? Do they have any idea how hot we are?”

 

“Landon Rhodes, you’re crazy hot,” Val replied, lying back on the road. “Don’t... don’t you settle!”

 

“I’m not! I’m not. A drunk person wouldn’t be giving you the best advice in the world.”

 

“I knowwww!” she replied, turning her head to look at him. “We don’t need them, Landon!”

 

She made a small noise that could have been a gasp, but it quickly died and she kissed him back, her hand grazing his jaw.
