I knew it was wrong.
Micaela passed out at the party. She was only a sophomore and she couldn't handle herself at all. It didn't take much to knock her out - she'd had maybe half a dozen drinks in three hours.
I stuck around because - well, why does anyone stick around at parties? You hope the crowd will thin out and you'll see some gorgeous person across the room. It'll be quiet enough to make charming conversation. Then instead of stumbling home at 3 a.m. you get drunk sex with a stranger. Never works out after that but oh well.
Of course that didn't happen. Connections don't make themselves. I was too shy to talk to anyone I didn't already know. Nice party anyway.
It wasn't quite 3 a.m. but it was close. Chelsea, the hostess, was cleaning her kitchen. It would take her quite a while. There were more bottles at that party than people - full bottles, I mean, hard liquor. Never my stuff.
I had drank myself into a pleasant state with two-thirds of a 12-pack of cheap beer. Good thing about bad beer is after the first few you don't notice the taste anymore. But there are accompanying bathroom pressures and that's how I found Micaela.
Someone had done her the courtesy of laying her out in a spare bedroom. They left the light on, but she wasn't in any state to mind.
Micaela was curvy. She had a tight black dress on and it rode a little above her knees. She was on her stomach, blonde, maybe 5-6 if I had to guess.
Big, full thighs. Very tan. Face sort of like a dinosaur - in a cute way. Everyone looks like some sort of animal and that's what I thought when I saw her. Green eyes wide apart. Wide mouth. Pretty, if my description isn't doing her justice. She'd pass for a farmer's daughter.
