"Come on bro, take another shot," I said to my friend Drew as I passed him another shot glass full of Fireball. He threw the shot back into his throat and went back to staring at the floor in front of him.
Drew had just found out that his girlfriend Hannah had been cheating on him for months so my friend, Sam, and I were trying to cheer him up with a little heavy drinking. As the night went on, though, Drew just seemed to get worse and worse the more we drank in Sam's basement.
Eventually, Sam decided that it was a lost cause and excused himself to go to bed. Drew and I stumbled over to the two couches in Sam's living room and laid down, silently.
"Hey Jake," Drew said after a few minutes. I shot up, and looked at Drew. This was the first time he had really said anything all night.
"Yeah bud. What's up?" Drew lied in silent for a few minutes before he was able to choke out:
"What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong?" I could hear Drew's voice cracking as he asked me the questions, so I shot up and walked over to the couch he was on.
"Dude, nothing is wrong with you. She's just a cheating bitch. You can't beat yourself up about this." As I finished talking though, Drew completely broke down. He was sobbing uncontrollable. So I grabbed around him and pulled him into a hug. He gripped the back of my shirt tightly with both hands and really pulled me in close while his body convulsed from the tears. He pressed his hot, wet face into my shoulder and I immediately started rubbing his back to try to calm him down.
"It's alright, Drew. You'll get through this. You'll get over this. You're a good guy, anyone would be happy to be with you," I said, trying to say anything that could possibly calm him down a little.
I felt his body stop shaking as he pulled away from the hug. I could see the streaks of tears down his face, which was still contorted from the crying. "You okay?" I asked him as he sat a few feet away from me. He looked up at me without responding. He didn't really look that sad anymore, but he just stared at me through the dark room. As he looked at me, I felt the hairs on the back of my next stand up. His face wasn't showing sadness anymore. He almost looked angry to me, but then I realized that it was hunger.
Drew dove at me and pressed his mouth into mine as he knocked my back down against the couch, with his body on top of mine. I couldn't believe this. What was he doing? I squirmed to try to break free but he grabbed each of my wrists with his hands and pinned them besides me. When did he get so strong? I wondered to myself as I kept trying to fight him off.
"What are you doing?" I groaned as soon as I was able to get my face away from his.
"Open your mouth," he demanded, still looking at me like a wolf looks at its prey.
I opened my mouth to object but as I did it, he shoved his face back into mine and I felt his tongue probe the inside of my mouth. His tongue immediately collided with mine as he worked his mouth into mine. I could feel him breathing warm air onto my face through his nostrils. He bit down on my bottom lip as he pulled his face away from mine again. I heard myself moan involuntarily as he released it. I looked up into his face and it had softened. Then, before what I knew what I was doing, I pushed my face into his. Was I actually kissing him back?
Our tongues collided again and this time, I allowed myself to take part in it. There was something so heated about what was happening, I felt myself enjoying it and not even asking why. I had never thought of Drew this way. I had never thought of any guy this way and as far as I knew, neither had he, but that didn't seem to stop us. He released my wrists and I immediately moved my hands up his muscular arms and onto his back. When did he become so muscular?
