Because you can do things you normally wouldn't have the courage to do when you're drunk.
Mikan sat down her drink.
There he was, just down the bar.
He looked so attractive with his ruffled hair falling in front of his eyes.
Dang, she thought licking her lips.
He did look good.
She downed another shot.
Well, she might as well do this while she was drunk.
She went up to the microphone that the band was performing with.
She turned to the lead guitarist.
"Play Take It Off by the Donnas for me?" she asked with a cute pout.
"Of course." he said with a radiant smile.
Too bad she was too focused on a certain someone to notice how attractive the guitarist was.
The music sarted, and she sang.
"I'm on my second drink
But I've had a few before...
I'm tryin' hard to think
And I think that I want you on the floor
Uh huh, yeah on the floor!"
She looked at the boy she longed for to find him staring at her.
"Go on and take it off
Take it off!
You gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off
Break me off!
'Cause I get what I want and I like what I see
Need your love 1,2,3"
She longed for his touch, to kiss his perfect lips.
"Stop starin' at my D cup
Don't waste time, just give it to me
C'mon baby, just feel me up
C'mon, just give it up
Go on and take it off
Take it off!"
She was practically begging him, and by the look in his eyes, he was going to comply.
"You gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off
Break me off! '
Cause I get what I want and I like what I see
Forget the application...
You're the right guy for the task"
Of course he was the right guy. She loved him since she was 10, and he loved her even longer.
"Let me take you on vacation
Just do it, you don't have to ask!
Go on and take it off
Take it off!
You gotta shake it off baby, for me
C'mon and break me off
Break me off! '
Cause I get what I want and I like what I see
Take it off
Take it off!
Take it off baby, for me
Take it off
Take it off!
Take it off baby, for me."
She finished with a smile, and thanked the band.
The man she longed for made his way across the room, and grabbed her arm.
"All of that, for me?" he asked, amusement thick in his voice.
Her cheeks were pink.
He always had to make fun, didn't he?
"I quite liked it." he continued, cupping her face.
"Y-you did?"
"Of course. I've missed you, Mikan."
As soon as he said her name, she was on cloud 9.
"Natsume, I've missed you too."
She smiled. Her first real smile in a long time.
He took her in his arms and carried her out to his car.
"Let's go home." he whispered.
And then as an after thought he added, "So I can "take if off" for you there."
She laughed, her cheeks red.
"Okay. I've missed that part of you too."
And then, Natsume drove home.
Things were alright.
They were together again.
