"No sex. No dating. No feelings. No thinking about men for another year," Sasha said, slamming her shot glass down on the coffee table.
"Amen!" Alisha replied, throwing back her own glass. "Except for the men part. But women suck too."
Andrea stared at the ceiling for several moments before taking her own shot. "I'm in. Although it's not like I had any prospects for sex anyone."
"Pretty sure Danny's not going to go for no sex for a year," Kara replied dryly when every eye turned in her direction.
Alisha rolled her eyes at Sasha. "Why did we let her join us? I thought this party was for single women only?"
"Because my husband pulled the short straw and is on duty tonight?" Kara sighed. She lifted her own shot glass, before setting it back down. Given that Frankie was in the house, she had limited herself to two drinks.
"To make sure that none of us did something stupid and made a booty call," Andrea corrected briskly, and surprisingly coherently, given the amount of alcohol in her system. She paused. "Do they still call them that?"
Alisha scowled. "I think now it's Netflix and chill. Green suggests that as a date activity frequently and I don't think he's in it for the Hallmark movies."
Kara choked, before covering the sound with a question. "So, if you were going to go after someone this year, who would it be?"
"Tom," Sasha replied instantly, her voice soft, drawing instant sympathy from the other three women. Given that the man was completely incommunicado, Tom was obviously not an option.
"He's an ass for not even calling," Andrea announced, shocking everyone. Andrea narrowed her eyes at Sasha, before announcing. "You should go for Wolf."
"Taylor?" Sasha frowned, before taking another shot for absolutely no reason.
"Why not?" Andrea demanded. "Jealousy can be useful. Besides, even if Tom comes back in a month or two, there's no reason why you shouldn't be getting some." Andrea waggled her eyebrows. "And we've all seen what's under that shirt."
Sasha leaned over to refill Andrea's glass. "Fine, if I bang Taylor, then you have to bang someone too. How about Slattery?"
Andrea made a face. "He's kind of like a brother. Plus, I was friends with Christine." That killed the conversation for a minute, until Andrea snapped her fingers. "Nolan."
"Tex?" Kara asked, voice curious.
Andrea nodded briskly. "No worry about long-term entanglements and I've seen the man in just his underwear. There's something mighty fine down there."
Hooting, Alisha slammed back her own shot. "Kara, honey, if you could only see your face. But don't pretend that you haven't noticed it. I mean, you spent enough time in their cabin."
"Hey..." Kara began, only to be cut off by Andrea.
"Also, proximity factor. Kat's been staying with me so luring Gitmo into the sack should be the work of approximately .02 seconds." Grinning, Andrea took another shot.
"Who are you going to have fun with?" Sasha asked, wiggling her eyebrows at Alisha. "The new JO in engineering is pretty fine."
"Is she?" Alisha said, her nonchalant shrug ruined when she almost fell over. "I hadn't noticed."
Kara scoffed. "Just admit that you have a thing for Azima and go for it. After all, this is just sex, right ladies?" At a round of nods, Kara pulled out a pen. "So, for purposes of making sure you all remember this tomorrow, I am writing down your resolutions. This coming year, there will be no dating or feelings. But we will all aim to have lots of sex. Andrea with Tex. Sasha with Wolf. And Alisha with Azima. I'll be having sex too, of course, but I'm going to keep the dating and feelings too. Anything to add?"
Hearing none, Kara refilled all of their glasses. "Let's drink to that."
