The stars shined bright on the hot summer night; the city lights had powered off due to the massive heat wave causing rolling blackouts. New Yorkers roam the streets trying to cool off any way they could, children's laughter could be heard from the rooftop as they are playing with the water that was shooting out of the fire hydrant, that the local fire department had open for them.
They sat on the edge of the rooftop, their feet dangling in the air, with a cold beer in hand; watching the children run around the fire hydrant. Enjoying the bliss around them, on the hottest day of the summer.
No longer able to handle the heat, Amanda pulled her long sticky blonde hair up in a messy bun. "I can't take this anymore."
Olivia laughed. "I thought this was typical summer weather out in Atlanta?" she chuckled out before taking a sip of her icy beer.
"Uh no. It gets hot but this...this is ridiculous." She replied as she placed her cold beer bottle on the side of her neck, the cool water dripping down the curve of her sweaty neck.
"I'm more consider about Frannie."
Enjoying the cold water that was dripping down her neck, Amanda closed her eyes and laughed to herself. "Frannie is fine. She's laying in a kiddie pool filled ice by the other door. She's fine."
"And we don't have a kiddy pool filled with ice for us because...?" Olivia asked sarcastically.
"Because I only brought one." Amanda chuckled.
"You're a great host," Olivia replied as she got up, adjusting her black yoga shorts walking towards the blue cooler.
Amanda soon followed suit and headed to the cooler herself to grab another cold beer. "Yeah, well. It beats being alone in an apartment that doesn't have a fabulous rooftop like mine."
Olivia rolled eyes at the cheesy response. "Right."
"You're more than welcome to leave." She replied in a sarcastic matter as she sat on the blanket that laid two feet away from the side of the building.
"You're so mean. Maybe I should leave."
Amanda snorted. "Shut up, sit down and drink."
Olivia shook her head but was unable to hide the smile that spread across her face. She sat next to the blonde on the Arabic style blanket with a cold beer in hand.
As the night progresses, the streets became quieter, and the temperature continued to rise. Olivia and Amanda were now laying on the blanket, watching the stars above. Their beer drinking soon leads to a large fresh bottle of Jack Daniels, Amanda's favorite. They laid, drunk, laughing at absolutely nothing as the world began to spin.
"I hate you," Olivia mumbled, her words slurring.
Amanda turned her head to face the older woman that laid next to her. She frowns as the harsh words from the drunk brunette. "Why?!" She asked in a childlike manner, her words too slurred.
"I haven't been this drunk since my college years."
Amanda laughed far too loudly; you could have sworn she had woken the entire city. "Not-not, my fau-fault you're a lightweight." She replied stumble and slurring her words.
"It is so pretty," Olivia announced as she stared at the dark sky above her.
"What is?" Amanda asked, her eyes closed avoiding the spinning around her.
"The stars," Olivia replied in a whisper.
"What about them?"
"They are so shiny!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Oh my god, you're such a child when you're drunk."
"But they are! Look at them! Look how shiny they are!"
Amanda opened her eyes and looked up at the black sky above her; the stars were shining bright, reminding her the countryside by home. "Yes, so shiny," Amanda replied sounding much more annoyed than she was.
Olivia sat up and looked down at the blonde next to her before getting up and walking over the cooler. Bringing back our bottles of, still surprisingly cold beers with her. "I bought us beers." She announced as she sat back down Indian style.
Amanda sat up as she took the bottle in hand, twisting it open and taking a refreshing sip. "Fuck, it's hot! She yelped.
"Not as hot as you," Olivia whispered into the head of the bottle.
