Another Interesting Night

Last night I went out with my best friend and soon to be roommate, Ash. We met up with a guy she had previously been involved with a couple months ago and a friend of his at a pub in downtown Sac. I was excited about it, if only to see another faucet of Sacramento night life. Having already Matt before and some of his friends, I expected that like the others, the friend that was with him wouldn't be my type.

I was right, but I'll get into that later.

When we to the pub, Matt and Tim are playing darts. I'm not sure how long they were there before we arrived, but they were already on their way to being drunk. Ash and I get Grey Goose and cranberry drinks, and they order jager (yeager?) Red Bulls. I've heard about this alcohol, and I know it's a sure fire way to getting fucked up.

And when they had a second and a third, I knew it was over for them.

Ash and Matt had hooked up previous to this, and the alcohol in both their systems loosened them up. I.E. they were all over each other, leaving me and Matt to talk to each other or another stranger. I considered the stranger for a brief moment. Tim has tats on both his arms, big earrings in both ears, a lip ring, and a tongue ring. Nothing about this little package does anything for me, I didn't find him attractive at all.

Nonetheless, I flirted.

Why not? A girl has to have a little fun. Not to mention, I have no tolerance and I had two drinks. Grey Goose always hits me quick. Tim of course flirted back in a way that only a drunken fool could. He gave me the worst lap dance I ever had. Yet, for my own personal amusement (I'm a terrible person) I did what I could to flirt and tease. There may not have been an initial attraction, but who knows what could happen if I got to know him better.

After about three hours, I didn't feel any differently about him. This was going to be a one night thing. Not a one night stand. I just hoped I wouldn't see him again after this night. But by this time, I was starting to sense the repercussions of my actions. He was into me, in the way that only a drunken fool can be (i.e. I probably wouldn't matter to him the next morning.)

Tim behaved himself though. Besides the lap dance, the only time he put his hands on me was to pick me up. Other than that, he kept his hands to himself. Then it was time to go. The boys were clearly incapable of driving home. I had sobered up by then. Ash had four drinks, but she had them early on in the night so I figured she'd be safe the drive. We decided to split up. I would drive Tim in Ash's car, and Ash would drive Matt in Tim's car.

Only Ash didn't drive, Matt did. I didn't think twice about it, unfortunately. I was already in the car and I wanted to go home and get away from Tim. Tim though, had other plans. We pulled onto the street and stopped at a red light. Next thing I know, I'm being yanked over and forced into a kiss. Ew. I rarely close my eyes during a kiss, so when I saw the light change, I quickly pulled away and drove.

We turn a corner and I see the police behind me, turning on the bright lights they use to look at the license plate. I think to myself "shit! I'm going to get pulled over cause Ash doesn't have her plates yet (new car) and the police will only let you get away with driving without them for so long."

Ash and Matt are in front of me, and they get through a yellow light. I stop, with the police behind me. Then they start flashing their lights and drive around me. As I'm waiting for the light to turn green, we watch them pull Matt over.

Not good. Matt has a DUI on his record from last year and he just finished his classes to get his license back.

Tim is all in a drunken panic. He's worried about his car and his friend. I keep him calm as best as I can and stop around the corner from Matt and Ash where I can watch without interfering. Despite his worry, Tim steals another kiss! Luckily for me again, there is a distraction. Ash sent me a text message. So we're texting, and I pull off into a parking lot where we cant be seen so the police don't get suspicious. Tim tries to make another move, and gets out in a huff cause I didn't let him seduce me. As if I'd let a drunk seduce me.

Ash calls me and tells me to pull the car up in front of Tim's car. As I'm leaving the parking lot, I see Matt get out of the car and I know shit has hit the fan. I manage to get Tim back in the car and we drive around to Ash. I pick her up and she's all in a panic too, with tears in her eye. They arrested Matt, and he's going to be held over night. He'll have to go in front of a judge because this is his second DUI.

Great, lets go home. You can pick him up later. I didn't say this, but I was thinking it.

Ash and Tim are in a panic of what can or cannot be done for Matt. I'm thinking he's a dumbass. They both are. These two grown ass men purposely went out and got shitfaced with the intention of driving home. Since Matt already had a DUI, Tim said he would drive because they both agreed that if he got caught, it was better than Matt getting a second DUI. They'd both just have one.

How can you possibly be so stupid?

The key's to Matt and Tim's place were with Tim's car keys, so now we're stuck with him. We go back to my place and I leave Ash and Tim to figure out what they're going to do. I could careless, as he's getting what he deserves. It was 2:30 AM and I had to get up to be at work at 9 AM. I head straight to bed.

Ash and Tim sit outside for a while, and then eventually come inside. Ash comes in my room to tell me something, and Tim takes this as an invitation and comes in as well. Ash leaves, Tim stays. He asks if he can lay on the floor at the foot of my bed. I say sure, and tun him out. I hear moving around, and it gets closer to me. Next thing I know, he's in front of me. Waiting quietly. I'm thinking "You think I'm going to invite you into my bed, don't you? Yeah right." After a while, he gets the hint and leaves. Sometime later, I pass out.

After work today, Ash told me that she and Tim went back outside. She came in for something and when she went out again, he was gone. She also tells me that Matt said that Tim has a girlfriend.

I thank my lucky stars. I didn't find this guy attractive, and even after talking to him for three hours, I didn't become interested in getting to know him. The tongue ring is just...wrong. When he did kiss me, he made damn sure that I knew he had a tongue ring. Why do girls find tongue rings hot? I don't get it. It's just an obstruction. Not only was it not visually attractive, it wasn't stimulating either. I was glad he didn't ask for my number, but I feared I'd see him again if Ash chose to pursue something with Matt. Knowing he has a gf is a load off my mind - it means he won't pursue me. And thank goodness! Unfaithful bastard. I ASKED him if he had a gf and he said no.

All this in combination with the immature decision to drink and drive just makes me really, really glad that this interesting night won't carry on into the rest of my days.

I really underestimate my ability to flirt, and my own attractiveness. Hell, I underestimate the power a woman can have over a drunken male. Let this be a lesson to not repeat past mistakes. I need to stay out of trouble!
