Rising Shards

I had never experienced so many positive things at once as I had during this vacation with my new best friends. First off, a girl I actually made out with was interested in me and I wasn't just a cog in some MILF's network of maids? And was a total hottie and a total cutie? Already absurd. Then my new friends protected me from my MILF past?

I had to come up with a story about my life, Pippi was asking us to over drinks.

"I...have a hard time summing me up," I said. "Which is weird, because I wrote two whole books about me. But just a scene? It's corny to say...but..." I looked around at my new best friends, all of us enjoying very expensive drinks at a hotel bar, and knew my answer. "I think it'd be this?"

My back up story if they didn't like that was the time Kitty Kilander made me use her as a footstool, but I couldn't decide which time I was Kitty's footstool or other furniture so I hoped they'd like this one.

"Awww!" Stella said. "That's so cheating but! So sweet!"

"That doesn't really tell me much about you I don't know," Pippi said. "But I guess I'll allow it."

"As long as you allow it, my dear, anything is possible," I said.

"The hell does that even mean?" Mahina said.

"I...am not sure," I said wistfully.

Stella said something, but then looked like she was going to throw up.

"I think we better call it a night," Evy said as Stella nuzzled into her, mumbling something about how hot Evy was.

"I think...I think we should go back to our room, too," Pippi said, smiling bashfully at me, which made me feel like a million, no, a trillion dollars.

"Yeah, it's getting pretty late," Mahina said. "For you squares, that is. I might stay a bit later."

Evy helped Stella walk, leaving for probably a night with a lot of puking but hopefully not the entire night spent like that.

"Uh, before we do go," I said. "Mahina, thanks for being so awesome on this trip. Want a drunken threesome with us?"

"Whoa!" Pippi said, eyebrows rocketing up. "I, uh, would you even want...? Whoa..."

"Sorry, I should've asked you first," Pippi said. "Would you like a drunken threesome with Mahina?"

"I...I mean!" Pippi said. "What does she think?"

"Not immediately opposed, but I really want to pick up a stranger in this bar, I keep daydreaming about meeting someone I've never met and bringing them back to my room," Mahina said.

"I respect the vision," Pippi said. "That's cool!"

"If I strike out and you get a knock on your door, have pity on me," Mahina said. "Otherwise, I'll pass for tonight, no offense to you two."

"Nah, it's all good, just had to shoot my shot, you know?" I said.

Pippi and I left, and she took my hand. This time, I was drunk enough to not freak out immediately.

"Sorry if that was too forward," I said.

"No, it was great," Pippi said. "I love how confident you are."

"Well, hopefully that confidence could lead to us having some fun soon, too," I said.

Pippi squeezed me, another slight smile brightening her already cute face. "I respect that vision, too."
