do..."
"What?"
"Boy, you better take your ass out of your ears when I'm talking to you... your ears out of your ass."
Corey chuckled as he started to unbutton the little dress she was wearing. Obviously his apology would have to wait until the morning.
"So Alyssa says I'm a strong woman."
"I've never doubted that for a minute."
"Don't argue with me!"
"Babes, I'm not arguing," Corey chuckled as he found one of his t-shirts and helped her into it.
"You are useless, you're not listening to a word I'm saying," Rae said as she slapped his hand away and sat up on the bed. " Alyssa. Tell him what you said, he doesn't believe you... me."
"She's a good person... everyone who doesn't think so can just suck..."
"Alyssa!" John cut in.
"A lemon," Alyssa finished.
"Suck a lemon?" Corey chuckled. "I think it's time for bed."
"I ain't sleeping with you!" Alyssa exclaimed.
"As much as I love taking advantage of drunk women, I think John would freak out," Corey said.
" Corey!"
"What? She won't remember a thing in the morning. You might as well practice and tell her how you feel."
"I'm not doing that."
"Well, do something. Take her shoes off and make her comfortable. I don't think she'd appreciate it if we took her clothes off, though."
"Who's taking their clothes off? Let me see," Rae called out from behind him.
"You get back on the bed. Get some sleep, we have a flight to catch in the morning."
"Where are you going?" Alyssa asked.
Both Corey and John laughed. They were only going to the same place she was going!
There was a knock at the door and Corey got up to answer it. It was Nate.
"Hi," he said. "Is Rae here? I wanted to speak to her."
"You and I both! You'll have to wait for the morning, Nate. She's a bit drunk right now."
"Who is it?" Rae called out. "Have you ordered a pizza? I'm starving."
Rae slid off the bed and walked to the door, dressed in only Corey's t-shirt.
"You!" she said for the second time that night. "You are a bad, bad person."
"I know. I came to apologise," Nate said.
His eyes lingered a bit on her long, slender legs.
"You're just a big... pretender!"
Corey raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"I'm sorry Rae, I shouldn't have..."
"You just walk around here and... pretend!" she slurred. "So you can just take your pizza and go."
"I didn't bring any pizza..."
"Oh, my God. Everyone just wants to argue with me," she snapped as she staggered back into the room and dropped herself onto the bed.
"What?" Nate asked, a confused frown on his face.
"Like I said, it'll have to be the morning," Corey chuckled.
Nate nodded and turned to leave.
"If you don't mind my asking, what happened between you two?"
Nate turned back and gave him a little shrug.
"She reached out to me and I threw it back in her face. I shouldn't have."
"What do you mean? She came on to you?"
"No. She was looking for a friend."
"So she didn't flirt with you at all?"
"No. Tell her I'll see her tomorrow morning," Nate said, then turned to leave.
Corey , still frowning, watched his retreating back. So Rae was really serious. From tomorrow, he'd make sure she understood that he'd stand by her. If she wanted to be with Nate, she'd have his blessing.
"If this pizza doesn't get here soon I'll... buy another one," Rae called out.
"We haven't ordered any pizza," Corey said as he closed the door.

Rae woke up with a splitting headache. She was thankful it wasn't from another attack because she didn't think she could have stood it.
"You awake baby?"
She smelt the coffee before she even opened her eyes. She knew straight away Corey was going to try some major sucking up.
"What do you want?" she snapped.
"I made you some coffee. I know how you don't function properly till you've had at least ten of these," Corey teased.
Translated, he was hoping to have her in a better mood before his apology. She wasn't in the mood for it right now. She was still too upset with him. She knew she would eventually forgive him, sooner rather
