grabbed wine glasses out of the cupboard. She wasn’t all that fancy when she was alone, but didn’t want to offer him a mug for his wine.
    “I am going to put the champagne in the fridge. I don’t mind putting ice in the wine so we can drink it with dinner. Is that ok with you? I know some people get upset when people put ice in wine.” Lilly handed him the fancy wine opener that Bethany got her for Christmas the prior year.
    “As long as the wine isn’t coming from a box we are all good. Hopefully that champagne will get cold fast enough, maybe you should stick it in the freezer for a little bit, we can switch it to the fridge after we eat so it doesn’t freeze.”
    “Sure, but if it explodes you’re cleaning my freezer,” Lilly said as she grabbed a tray of ice and stuck the heavy black bottle in next to the mint chocolate chip.
    “Grab the movie and the wine. I wil l bring the plates and the food,” Lilly instructed him.
    “This is fun. I love going out to eat, but sometimes it’s nice to just kick back and chillax.” John was on a roll with the awkward comments.
    Lilly thought he might have been trying too hard to be cool. She tried not to spend too much time thinking about it. “So what kind of food did you get?” Lilly started to dig into the bag while the previews started on the television.
    “I got spring rolls, chicken teriyaki, and pad Thai. I hope that isn’t too crazy.”
    “No, that works, but you do know that chicken teriyaki is not Thai food?”
    “I wasn’t sure, the place I ordered from had Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food.”
    Lilly and John ate dinner and watched the movie, but found themselves talking and laughing over the absolutely ridiculous one liners. The food was ok, but salty enough that the bottle of wine disappeared quickly.
    As the movie credits started to roll, John jumped up. “Oh crap, the champagne.” 
     

CHAPTER EIGHT
     
    Poker
     
    Lilly cleaned up the food while John checked in on the champagne.
    “Is it frozen?” Lilly asked.
    “No, I think it’s perfectly chilled. Any chance you have champagne glasses?”
    “I don’t, but we can use wine glasses. I think I actually have a bag of frozen berries in there. We could drop them in the bottom of the glasses.”
    Lilly scraped the plates into the trash. She didn’ t bother saving any of the leftover food, and there was a lot left. The dinner wasn’t so great, so she probably drank more than she ate. Lilly was already feeling pretty loose from the wine.
    “It’s still early, do you want to watch another movie? If you changed your mind and want to go out I can call a cab or a car service.”
    “I could watch another movie. The last one was barely over an hour long. Besides if we go out, who will drink this champagne?” Lilly lifted the bottle and handed it to John to open. She dropped some frozen fruit into the bottom of the wine glasses.
    “Let’s watch the comedy. I wonder if it will be as funny as that action movie.” Lilly giggled, and snorted. “I can grab a deck of cards in case it’s boring. If all else fails we can play strip poker.”
    “Oh, ok. I am pretty good at poker so you might want to rethink that,” John said as he grabbed another movie off the kitchen counter.
    Lilly dropped the full wine glasses off at the coffee table and ran to her room. She grabbed a deck of cards; even though she didn’t use them she actually had several decks. She opted for the deck of cards with pin-up girls on the back. It had been a while since she had gotten any action and she knew what happened when she drank champagne.
    Before she left her room she freshened up her lips with some berry flavored lip gloss, fluffed up her breasts and pulled down on her shirt a little to enhance her cleavage. She convinced herself it wasn’t really a first date, they had hung out lots of times at events and they were out to dinner the night before.
     

 
    Lilly flopped down on the couch next to John. He already had the
