I Need to Think - Natalie
I walk into my apartment in a daze. I couldn't stop thinking about Jackson. He was so amazing last night, it was hands down the best sex I've ever had. It was like he has been imagining it for years and he gave it all he got. And, he had ladder piercings. When he went in I felt it all, it was an adrenaline rush. But, this can't happen again. I told myself just a one night stand and then I will be getting back to my life. I am going to figure out who I am as a single person. Once I get done with his notebook I will give it back to him. I will let him know what I want and let him know that I am not ready for a relationship yet. Yes, that is what I will do the next time I see him. Why does it sound easier said than done.
A few hours later and I am done with his notebook. I took all the notes I need and now all I have to do is text him. I text him and tell him that I am done with it. He replies fast and says that he will be at the coffee shop tomorrow morning. Great a whole night of thinking of what I will say to him. I hope I don't mess up.

The Next Morning - Jackson
I woke up the next morning with a warm naked body next to me. She is cuddling with me, her legs and arm draped over me with my arm around her shoulder. I look to see who it is and it is Natalie. I am shock and trying to figure out what happened last night. The girls were at the bar, Drake left with Karla, more shots and beer. I don't remember anymore after that. Did I drive? Did I harass Natalie? What did I do? She starts to stir and then her eyes pop open. She sits up fast and looks at me. Once she realizes what happened, Natalie grabs her clothes and runs into the attached bathroom. I hear her scrambling in there and I get up to get dressed in some track pants. She opens the door and says she has to leave.
"You can stay and have breakfast, I am a very excellent cook." I try to keep her here as long as I can so we can discuss what happened last night.
"No, I need to leave now. I'm sorry, this wasn't supposed to happen. I am usually not like this. It was a great and I will give you a text when I'm done with your notebook." She explains everything so fast that I almost didn't get every word. Natalie walks past me, out my room, out my apartment and my place feels more empty than ever before.

Bathroom Talk - Natalie
His lips taste like alcohol and pure man. This kiss has caught me off guard but I can't let it go. He kisses me like he has been waiting years for it. And once it started it ended so soon. He looks at me and apologizes. I stand there in shock until Karla grabs my arm and walks us to the restroom.
"So, I saw that kiss and it was hot. Me and Drake are gonna head out. Do you want a ride home or are you gonna stay with ginger hottie?" Karla enthusiastically spoke.
"Are you sure you wanna leave here with some random guy, you barely know him." I mention before she makes a bad decision.
"I will be fine, so have you decided what you wanna do?"
"I'll stay with Jackson." My voice doesn't sound like mine when I spoke.
We head back with the guys. Once we got there Karla and Drake leave and I am standing there with Jackson. He suggests more drinks and I take more shots with beer. This will be a long drunken night.

Let’s Get Drunk - Jackson
Did I really say that? How many did I really have? The same day and two encounters with my dream girl. She is blushing now and her friend keeps hitting her in the arm. Her friend whispers in her ear and then Natalie comes out of her small daze.
"This is Karla," Natalie introduces her friend who is staring at Drake.
"Drake and Mike," I point with my beer trying to be nonchalant about it.
"So, how are you?" She asks me trying not to look at Karla and Drake that are talking very close to each other.
"Getting drunk, would you like to joint me?" before she answers my question I already ordered more beer and a few shots. She grabs a shot and takes it with the beer as a chaser.
"Thanks."
She looks up from her drink with those beautiful gray eyes. I take a shot and kiss her.

My Blue Drink - Natalie
I've been to Grey's a few times but it was usually with Charles. We usually hang out with his friends. Karla says that there are always other guys here and it would be awesome for Charles to see me with another guy. It would make him jealous and hate that he broke up with me. But to tell the truth, I want to go back home, eat a bucket of ice cream, and binge watch Doctor Who. Karla drags me to the bar and orders me a blue drink. I ask her what it is and she says it is delicious and I should drink it. We find a table and sit. While I slurp at my drink, Karla is eye fucking a guy across the bar. I look over there and mention I know his friend, its Jackson. She drags me over there for introductions. Apparently, I have to be dragged everywhere tonight. I walk up to Jackson and say hey.
"Hey, Natalie. Come here often?" He asks with a smile.
"Is that supposed to be a pickup line? How many have you drank?" He is looking super drunk and pretty delicious.
"Enough to tell you that you are the most beautiful and sexy woman in this place."
Karla nudges my arm signaling that there needs to be introductions but I am in a slight daze because of his confession.

Grey’s - Jackson
It's Friday night and the guys want me to join them at the local bar, Grey's. After the coffee shop fiasco, I went to the gym to work out some energy. I got home showered and got ready in a t shirt and jeans. When I get to the bar the guys are already playing pool and having drinks. Mike, who has platinum blonde hair, has solids and Drake, the ladies man, has stripes. I can usually get a girl every once in while but Drake is the one that has the most one night stands. I order us a round of beers and a few shots and we start talking shit to each other. Mike looks past me and tells me my girl is here.
"I don't have a girl, who are you talking about?" Confused, I turn around and see a dark hair babe with a gray dress on standing at the bar with a blonde in tight jeans. It's Natalie and my heart skips a beat as I look at her in those killer heels.

My Walk Home - Natalie
On my walk home, I end up thinking about Jackson. While I was looking at his notes I felt him looking at me but I didn't mind. It made me feel good and wanted. With the day that I am having, it was a pleasant feeling. I've always noticed him for the longest time with his red hair and blue eyes. He has a handsome face and body that screams he works out on a daily basis. But, I had Charles and I never needed to make a move. He comes to the coffee shop often and I know he will be here before Monday comes around. But, I still asked him for his number to return the notebook and he gave it to me. I make it home and decide a large glass of wine and a side of pretzels sound good. Actually getting drunk sounds amazing. I call up my friend Karla and tell her what happened. She says we should go to a bar that she knows and we should get drunk and go home with a stranger. I am actually game on that plan and I get ready for a night of future regret. I dress in a gray curve hugging dress with a deep neck line to show off all my goodies and some killer heels that would have me tumbling after too many drinks. There is only one thing on my mind tonight and that is to have fun and sleep with a random guy to get my stupid ex boyfriend off my mind. Let's hope this plan works.

Her Eyes - Jackson
She is sitting across me, holding my Psychology notebook. I didn't even think she knew who I was. I am trying to pay attention to my own work but I keep looking up at her. She has a concentrated look as she studies my notes. Her eyes are a beautiful contrast to her dark hair. They are like a cloud cover sky that will bring a rainbow after the storm. But, today there is a sadness to them that I can't figure out why. Her life seems so perfect. She looks up and her lips part as she stares at me. I want to reach across the table and kiss those delicate lips. Instead I clear my throat to keep me from making a stupid decision.
"I know I have sloppy hand writing, if you have any questions..." I mentioned because she looked a little lost.
"No, they are fine. Do you mind if I make copies of these? They are way more detailed than my own."
"I have class Monday, as long as I can have it back by then."
"No problem. Just give me your number and I will let you know when I'm done."
I give her my number and start packing my stuff. Leaving as fast as I can because my jeans have gone tighter and it is starting to feel uncomfortable. She walks with me out the door and we look at each other.
"My name is Natalie by the way." She mentions.
"Jackson, nice to meet you." I reply and we walk our separate ways.

I’m A Mess - Natalie
I'm a mess right now. My boyfriend, Charles, broke up with me. We were together for the past three years and he decides that it is not working out. That he needs to go out and explore what is out there. I can't work it out, going through the motions but nothing makes sense. I sat in class not even paying attention because all I could think about is Charles. On the way home from class I go by the coffee shop to get me a coffee and some food. I step inside from the fall weather and go towards the counter to order my usual, white chocolate mocha. Now, what happened in class today? Looking around while waiting for my drink I spot a guy I know has the same class but at a different time. I'll ask him for his notes. My order is ready and I walk towards him, he sees me coming.
"May I sit with you?" I ask. He stares at me for a moment and he has a beautiful shade of blue eyes, they are like the Mediterranean Sea.
"Um, yes you may. Let me move some of my stuff out of your way."
"I have to ask you for something, you have Prof. Young for psychology, right?"
"Yes, how do you know that?"
"I've seen you leave his class. Anyways, I just need some notes if you don't mind."
"Of course, here is my notebook."
As I grab his notebook our fingers brush and there was an electricity that went through me. I look up and he is looking at his own fingers. We sit in silence as I look through his notebook.
