It had been three long days, and, today especially had been really bad. Grace had just wanted to go home, and drink her shit of a day away. However, her best friend Lucinda had called. She, Melissa and Samantha were going to a new club, and really wanted Grace to come.

Welcoming the distraction, Grace had agreed to go. This had been a bad idea. Melissa had hooked up with the first guy she saw, and the two went off to the bathroom, coming out ten minutes later. She then hooked up with three more guys after that. Samantha went off dancing, and had about thirty guys trying to hit on her.

Lucinda sat around with Grace talking. About her job. And love life. Grace ordered more and more drinks, becoming steadily drunker. Not that Lucinda noticed. She was too busy talking.

Grace stood up and slipped up. She would have landed on the ground but two strong arms wrapped themselves around her. They helped her stand upright. "You ok?"

It was a familiar voice, but Grace couldn't place it. The arms were dropped, and Grace turned around. "Hey Josh," she said with a smile when she recognised him. "What are you doing here?"

She grabbed his arms, pulling him closer and swaying to the music. Josh laughed. The two continued to dance until a waiter came over with another round of drinks. Grace went to grab one, but Josh grabbed her hand pulling it away. "You've had enough."

"Oh come on Josh. One more. Please?" she begged.

"You'll kill me tomorrow," he muttered letting go of her wrist. She grabbed the drink, and gulped it down before turning to Josh, and, within seconds, had pressed her mouth up against his. He pulled away and looked at her. "What are you doing?"

She laughed and then pulled him back in for a kiss. All reason left him, and he gave into the kiss.

Grace groaned and rolled over the next morning. She felt a body next to her, and, thinking it was Connor, she rolled over and pulled them closer.

"Any idea what your doing?"

Grace froze and opened her eyes when she heard the familiar voice. She blinked a few times in the harsh light. "Josh?"

"Morning," he said with a small smile.

'Argh. What the hell happened?" she asked, shielding her eyes from the harsh light.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"No," she said with a small laugh. "Tell me one thing," she asked though a moment later. "Did I embarrass myself?"

"Well…" Josh began slowly, dragging it out just to tease her. She hit him. "Ok, ok," he said with a small laugh. "You did embarrass yourself quiet a bit."

Grace hid her face in her hands and shook her head lightly. "Badly?" Josh didn't answer and Grace had her answer. "How bad?" she questioned.

"Before or after you started making out with me?" he questioned with an amused look on his face.
