Just to Get Even
Matt looked at the young woman lying in bed next to him. Her blonde hair tousled; the white sheet hugging her curves. He turned his back on her, swung his legs over the edge of the bed, and rested his head on his hands. As his foot hit the floor it bumped something glass. He looked down in time to see an empty Jack Daniels bottle roll under the night stand. Oh my God, what did I do? He glanced over his shoulder and was relieved that she was still sleeping. What did we do? He glanced down remembering that he was nude. He looked around the room. His eyes narrowed in hopes of discerning his boxers from the shadows of the dark room. What did I do? He found his boxers hanging from the chair next to the phone. Carefully, Matt pulled the comforter off the end of the bed and wrapped it around his midsection.
As he began to creep across the room, Claire stirred. He stopped, hoping she would fall back to sleep. She didn't. Instead she sat up bare chested, "What the...?" She rapidly grabbed the sheet and pulled them up, covering her chest. "Did we? We did, didn't we? A whole bottle? In this bed?" She began to hyperventilate.
In his rush to her side, Matt tripped over the comforter. The comforter fell to the ground seconds before Matt stumbled to the edge of the bed. Blushing, he timidly recovered the comforter and replaced it. These antics calmed Claire and sent her into a fit of giggles. The whiskey had not worn off.
He sat on the bed next to her and apologized for taking advantage of her. Matt had intended on drinking his misery away. He felt shameful that Claire had gotten wrapped up in his problems. He had considered cheating on his wife after finding out what she had done. In some warped way that was going to help him understand what she had done and help him forgive her. He never thought he would go through with it. But, now he had. And with Claire of all people. Claire was just a teenager. Barely legal. That was all he could think of, she was barely legal.
Claire dismissed his rambling apologies. After all, it was she who had insisted on joining him. He needed to remember that she too had her heart broken. Peter had so easily dismissed her for that girl. He told her she was too young and naive. Claire bitterly thought I'm not too young to be in this stupid group. Just to damn young to be with you!
She had decided that night that she was no longer going to be too young. She wanted to find a guy to take away her innocence. Then Peter would see her as a woman. Only problem was she had no intention of it being Matt who did this for her.
They talked and both agreed that the whiskey and hurt emotions had brought them to this place. They agreed that they would never mention this to anyone, ever. It would be their secret. However, why not one more roll in the hay? The remainder of the whiskey in their system talked them into one more quick run at love before departing.
