haven't heard the messed up part yet. After Jen left, I was left alone at the table. I was thinking about the solid relationship I had just ended for this girl that I love and who wants nothing to do with me."
    "Oh, don't say that Ash. You don't know that." Trevor cut Ashley's talking.
    "Oh yes, I do. And wait 'til I finish and you'll see I'm right. Anyway, so I was there, with my head down when I figured everything would be great. Kirstin and I were gonna be together, no matter how hard I'd have to fight for it to happen and that it would all be worth while. So I decided to go find you guys, and when I got out of the chair and scanned downstairs to look for you two, I saw her. She was sitting on a stool by the bar, licking this guy's neck!" Trevor and Erik both raised their eyebrows at the same time. "Then a few seconds later he was the one licking her neck and that was when she saw me staring at them. I decided to go there and talk to her, stupid idea by the way, and tell her all that had happened, but she didn't let me talk. She totally blew me off so she could be all over her boyfriend!"
    "Are you sure he was her boyfriend, maybe it was just a guy she met at the bar and…" Erik was trying to make things better, but it wasn't working.
    "She introduced him as Tom, her boyfriend." he said bitterness evident in his voice.
    "Oh man. That's not good."
    "I know! I told you!"
    "So, what are you gonna do now?" Erik asked his friend. He didn't know what to say on a situation like that.
    "I don't know. As much as it hurts, there's nothing left for me to do. I can't go after her, follow her around, I would be stalking her and I don't want that. And to make things worse, I don't know where she lives or her number or anything. I gave her my phone number, I don't think she's gonna call, but I sure hope so. That's the only way we would talk again." Ashley was really counting on Kirstin's call. That was the only chance he had to make things better. He couldn't think of any other way for them to talk again unless she'd call him. And he prayed for her to do so.
    "Let's go to my place." Kirstin said through kisses. They were all over each other.
    "Are you sure?" Tom stopped so he could face her.
    "Yes, I am." Kirstin was drunk. Tom wasn't. She had had more then just a few drinks. "Let's go to my place now!" she didn't want to stop kissing him, so she pulled him to her. He just pushed back and asked:
    "What about Grace?"
    "What about her?"
    "What about her? Are you planning on leaving her here?"
    "Grace is a big girl. I'm pretty sure she can get herself a cab."
    "No way! Let's find her, leave her at her place and then we can go to yours."
    "Ok, let's have it your way then, Good Samaritan!" that comment made Tom smile.
    "Good. So let's find Grace. Actually, you stay right here and I'll go find her."
    "Ok, but give me a kiss first before you leave." she pulled him to her. Tom was the one who stopped the kiss and left to find Grace. Kirstin said while he was leaving "Don't take too long!"
    Tom was happy. He had the girl of his dreams all over him, and now she had asked him to go to her place. What else could he ask for? His conscious kicked in then and he began to think, 'Alright, she may be a little too drunk, but she wants me. And God, I want her so badly!' He found Grace getting off of the dance floor and grabbed her lightly by her arm.
    "Grace, we are leaving."
    "WE are leaving?"
    "Yeah. I'm gonna take you and Kirstin home. Kirstin is a little drunk, she shouldn't drive."
    "Tom, you don't have to give me some lame excuse. You can say you are going to her loft too." she smirked.
    "Ok, ok. Then that's the truth."
    "So, how are things with her?"
    "Good actually, she's great and a great kisser! And she's being really nice to me and all."
    "Really? That's good to know!"
    "Yeah. In fact, this guy she knows came over to her a little while ago and she totally blew him off and..."
    "Wait, wait, wait! A guy she knows came over to her? What was the
