Chapter 7: Beers, Boxers and Bras

"Ray, Ray," she shook him some more, "Ray, come on!"

Slowly Ray's eyes began to open, "whhart?"

"Come on sleepy head," she smiled.

"Did I fall asleep?"

She laughed and nodded. He looked at the time, "why didn't you wake me up sooner?"

"You look to cute sleeping there, so peaceful,"

He rolled his eyes, "whatever, what you been doing while I was sleeping?"

"The dishes, I got Neela to bring some of your stuff over and I put it all in those drawers."

"You organised my stuff?" Ray thought again "You touched my stuff?"

"Yer, why are you worried I'd find something I shouldn't?"

"No," Ray replied quickly, "Did you?"

"No, although Neela told me to ask you about a box labelled Hawaii vacation?"

Ray laughed and his face turned slightly pinkish, "She might not wanna open that,"

Abby smiled and Ray went over to the fridge and took out a beer, he was about to go back to his seat when Abby stopped him, "Could you get me one?"

He stopped motionless, not only did he not expect Abby to like beer, but he was sure Carter had told him something about her being an alcoholic once, or was he talking about someone else?

Ray shrugged, it didn't really matter.

He sat down next to Abby and gave her the beer, "I didn't know you drank beer?"

She smiled playfully, "There are a lot of things about me you don't know,"

"So tell me some,"

"You tell me some, there's a lot of stuff I don't know about you!"

"So we take it in turns, you ask a question, I ask a question, tit for tat,"

She laughed "I'll go first," She seemed to consider what she was going to ask him, she didn't want to start with a really deep question, just something light, but useful.

"Have you ever taken drugs?"

He laughed "I knew you was going to ask me that at some point," He nodded, "At first, it was just the weed, but then I became bit of a coke whore too,"

"So what happened?"

"It got boring, a bunch of my friends got arrested or landed in rehab, so I thought sod it, and besides, I was becoming a doctor, I was learning about all the shit that stuff does to you!"

She nodded as if accepting his answer.

He pondered for a bit before asking her, "Did you ever do drugs?"

"You can't ask my question!"

He shook his head "Yer I can!"

"Fine," she looked a little angry that he couldn't come up with something more inventive "nope."

He shrugged "Your turn,"

"What was your mum's name?"

He looked shocked, "I never told you?"

She shook her head "I've kind of been kept in the dark about that one,"

He sighed, "Jane and her maiden name was Layette, so she was Jane Elizabeth Layette,"

She nodded, "You told new girl that didn't you? That she had the same name as your mum!"

"Yer, and I said it was a pretty name, why?"

"Oh I was kind of eavesdropping on your conversation," Abby said quickly and plainly to try and cover up the fact she was eavesdropping, "she was so proud of herself after that; I think she has a crush on you!"

"What Jane? As in the med student, I thought she hated me, like proper hated me, she always seems so angry at me,"

Abby laughed, "She's angry at everyone,"

Ray laughed, "She doesn't say much,"

Abby shook her head, "Your turn,"

Ray leaned back, now what to ask, there was so much and yet, what to ask, he didn't want to offend her, so he thought he'd ask a funny question, "Have you ever put a bin on your head?"

Abby burst out laughing, beer spraying everywhere, "What?"

"I dunno, it just came to me, I then I just had to know,"

"No, have you?"

He looked away, "maybe,"

"When, like when you were little?"

"No actually, just yesterday! It was raining and I didn't want to get my hair wet so I brought one of those little bins from the store…"

Abby laughed so hard she almost choked, "You didn't want to get your hair wet! You're such a sissy!"

Ray went bright red, he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, you want another beer?"

She nodded, still laughing.

"Well then when you get your, could you get me one too?"

"Get your own! And while your there, could you get mine?"

"I got them last time!"

"So! Let's flip a coin?"

"Fine," Said Ray and he got out a coin, "Call it in the air,"

"Tails,"

The coin landed and rolled under the sofa. Ray picked it out, "hah heads!"

"Damn," Abby went off to get the beers, when she came back Ray still had his head under the sofa, "Ray, what are you doing?"

"You have the coolest collection of junk under here!"

He pulled something out from underneath "Yum, mouldy cookie!"

"Ray that's disgusting, throw it away!"

He threw it back under the sofa, "check this out," he pulled out a pack of cards.

"You know what we should do?" Abby took the cards off Ray.

"Play strip poker?" Ray asked hopefully.

"No," Abby glared at him, but Ray flashed his puppy dog eyes, "Fine whatever," she gave in,"we'll play your stupid game."

"Yay!" Ray jumped up looking excited.

2 hours and many, many, many beers later

"Your bra looks pretty," Ray slurred.

"You like it?" Abby looked surprised, "Its from Wal-Mart!"

Ray laughed, "It a bra, it doesn't matter where its from, all bras are pretty!"

Abby shook her head, "You're so drunk you know that!"

Ray shook his head, "You're worse!"

"Nuh-uh"

"Yah-huh"

"Nun-uh"

"Yah-uh"

"Nuh-uh infinity!"

"Yay-hah infinity and one,"

She hit his arm "You can't get that!"

"Says who?"

"Clever people!"

"Well there stupid," said Ray

Abby laughed "Don't be silly!"

Ray shock from side to side, like he was about to fall off his chair any moment now, Abby had given up and was already on the floor.

"Come on," Ray urged "We gotta play this last round, see who has to strip!"

Abby smiled, Ray naked, that was something se wouldn't mind seeing.

"I forgot how to play!" she pretentded.

"So, we're still playing,"

So they played the last round, Abby put her cards down, "Royal flush!"

Ray looked shocked, "I thought you couldn't play?"

"Yer well, I lied, come on," she moved towards him and started to take off his boxers, "Say goodbye to Mr Calvin Klien,"

"Wait,"

She stopped, "You know I like black boxers, they look good on you,"

Good was an understatement, Ray was looking really, really hot.

"Wait, look at my cards!"

"What, Full house! You cheated!"

"Nope, come on, lets get this bra off!"

"No," Abby screamed and ran off.

"Your such a hyp…hypo…hyp…" Ray stumbled to get the word out as he chased Abby round the room.

Eventually they landed on top of each other, on the sofa.

Abby gave up and leaned towards Ray and kissed him, first lightly, but soon they where kissing passionately.

Ray ran his fingers down her back, slowly, and then she sat up. "Hey," She grabbed her back.

"What?"

"Did you just undo my bra?"

Ray shrugged tilting his head to the side, "maybe."

She smiled "Nice work!"

He laughed and then went back to kissing her.

They stayed this way for some while until they went off to the bedroom to finish their 'game' off.

Thats the end of chapter 7, and then chapter 8 is all about the 'morning after'!
