So once inside the taxi my partner used google trans to explain location ect ect and for a 20minute ride to the apartment it felt like forever and tha...s a good thing as i could see the taxi driver kept looking at his mirror to see me and i liked that so anyways my man and i was chatting away looking forward to getting to the apartment and even tho the ac was on in the taxi we could still feel the heat so i decided to take my vest of in the taxi and since the windows where tinted nobody could. “Sorry,” he slurred as he then tried to balance himself by grabbing the bar stool but again he missed, falling to the floor hard on his ass.Some guys who were behind him began to laugh but made no attempt to help him to his feet.

Still, I wondered how much my parents really knew.There was a sliver of faint light coming from underneath Lara’s door, so I tapped very quietly with a finger. There was some sound of movement and then the door cracked open.“What’s up?” she asked.“Just saying hi,” I offered.“Hi! I’m still reading. Almost done with the book.”“Cool. I’ll let you finish, then.”“How was your night?”“Great.”She smiled a little, but said nothing. I stood there for a bit, wondering what to do. I finally said.
