Chapter 37

Dwayne collapses on the bed face first and pulls the pillow over the back of his head, Stephanie sits down next to him and kicks off her heels. She sits there for a while listening to Dwayne mumble to himself, getting him up the stairs had been one of the hardest things she'd ever had to done. He had had a little bit too much to drink and was a little too happy for his own good.

"That's everyone gone" Stephanie says as she gets undressed, pulls on her dressing gown and walks into the bathroom.

"Yeah everyone except my parents who are in the spare room, oh yeah and Chris who is asleep on the kitchen table but yeah that's everyone" Dwayne says from under the pillow, Stephanie walks out of the bathroom and climbs onto the bed. She pulls the pillow away and rolls Dwayne over onto his back and sits on him, she unties his tie and pulls off his jacket.

"I can't believe you were playing twister with your dad!" Stephanie laughs as she undoes his shirt and helps him take it off.

"Too much drink makes you do stupid things, but I didn't have too much drink. I only had a little bit." Dwayne laughs as Stephanie undoes his shoes and pulls them off dropping them on the floor. "I can undress myself, I only had a little bit to drink I'm fine" Dwayne mumbles.

"I know you had a bit to drink though, I don't see you taking your clothes off so I'm just helping you out a little bit" Stephanie says undoing his belt and trousers and pulling them off.

"Your very beautiful you know" Dwayne says smiling at her.

"And your very drunk" Stephanie says laughing, she climbs off of him and pulls her dressing gown off and gets into bed giving up on Dwayne and just wanting to go to sleep.

"No you really are, I mean it" Dwayne says rolling over onto his side and looking at her.

"Thank you, but you are drunk" Stephanie laughs, Dwayne nods his head and lays back again only to fall off the bed and land on the floor flat out on his back. Stephanie pokes her head over the edge, he lays there smiling at her and waves.

"I am not drunk!" Dwayne protests getting off the floor and heading for the bathroom, he misses the door completely and walks into the wall "Oh sorry, excuse me I'm waiting for the bathroom" Dwayne says smiling at the wall.

"Dwayne it's a wall!" Stephanie climbs out of bed and directs him into the bathroom; she goes back to the bed and climbs in again pulling the duvet up to the top of her head trying to block out Dwayne who is talking to his reflection in the mirror. "Dwayne come to bed!" Stephanie yells as Dwayne walks out of the bathroom and gets into bed.

"Good night my dear" Dwayne says, he kisses her on the cheek before falling asleep straight away. Stephanie turns off the light, she laughs to herself just thinking about what a drunken Dwayne would be thinking about talking to his reflection. She soon falls asleep.
