Tiffany sips her coffee and smirks at her best friend…
Who’s staggering out of the bedroom in their suite.
TiffanyWell, don’t you look chipper today.
ErinShut up.
ErinIt’s too early for sarcasm.
TiffanyHow late were you out?
ErinI have no idea.
Tiffany grins.
TiffanyThat’s Vegas for you. You must have had fun.
ErinYeah. But I wish I could remember it more.
TiffanyDon’t we all, baby. Don’t we all.
ErinAny more coffee?
TiffanyNope. This is the last cup.
TiffanyHere. Have the rest of mine.
ErinYou’re a saint.
Erin’s cell phone buzzes and she groans.
ErinI can’t believe he’s texting me so early.
TiffanyHe is an early bird, isn’t he?
TiffanyHow are you two even a thing?
ErinHush.
Erin checks her phone and then looks up at her friend.
ErinWait — it isn’t Charlie.
ErinI don’t recognize this number. It’s some guy named Will.
TiffanyAnswer it! Maybe you met someone HOT last night.
ErinI would have remembered that — right?
TiffanyWho cares?
TiffanyJust answer it! I’m dying to know.
Erin stares at her phone.
WillHey you. It’s Will.
WillLast night was amazing.
WillWhen can I see you again?
Erin looks up at Tiffany.
ErinOh, shit.
TiffanyWhat is it?
ErinI guess I DID meet someone last night.
TiffanyGood. You go girl!
ErinNot good.
ErinI don’t remember it — not at all.
TiffanyYou know what they say.
ErinWhat?
TiffanyFoggy memory, clear conscience.
ErinIt doesn’t work that way at all.
ErinI have a boyfriend!
TiffanyUgh. I can’t believe you’re still with him.
TiffanyThe dude has no sense of humor. Zero.
Tiffany winces at her own words.
They aren’t really true.
But that doesn’t mean that Charlie isn’t a good guy, right?
ErinHe has SOME sense of humor.
TiffanyUgh. When Charlie talks, it’s always about himself.
ErinHe talks about lots of things.
TiffanyAnd yet you’re completely uninterested in any of them.
TiffanyThe two of you have nothing in common.
ErinWe do.
TiffanyLike what?
Erin muses for a moment.
ErinWe both love food.
TiffanyOh! And do you both breathe oxygen too?
TiffanyMatch made in heaven.
ErinI know you don’t like him but—
TiffanyKimmy doesn’t like him either.
ErinKimmy hates every guy I date.
TiffanyKimmy has excellent taste.
Erin snorts.
ErinHave you seen her hair?
TiffanyI love her hair. What color is it now?
ErinWell, when I left on Thursday, it was green.
ErinWith purple highlights.
ErinNo telling what it is now.
TiffanyShe’s such a wild child.
TiffanyIt’s hard to believe the two of you came from the same womb.
ErinHey! I can be a wild child.
TiffanyHah!
TiffanyYou are a certified stick-in-the-mud.
ErinNo I’m not.
Erin’s phone buzzes again.
TiffanyAre you going to answer that text?
ErinIt’s just some random guy.
TiffanyA wild child would answer that text.
TiffanyMaybe this guy is more interesting than Charlie.
ErinYou’re crazy. This guy could be an axe murderer for all we know.
ErinOr a MIME.
TiffanyThere’s only one way to find out.
Tiffany waggles her brows.
TiffanyAnd to find out what happened last night.
Erin sighs.
ErinI know.
TiffanyTalk to him.
TiffanyAnd if you decide you don’t want him…
TiffanyYou can give him to me.
Erin’s phone buzzes again.
WillHey. Are you there?
WillAm I texting too early?
WillWe didn’t exactly set a time LOL
ErinUm. Hi, Will.
ErinSo we agreed to text when we met last night?
WillYou kind of insisted on it 😉
Erin
WillSomething wrong?
ErinUm…
ErinI have a confession to make.
WillUh oh.
ErinIt’s not too bad.
ErinI hope.
WillAll right…shoot.
ErinI might have had too much to drink last night.
Will😂
WillReally? What a shock.
ErinWhat do you mean?
WillWe both had too much to drink.
WillDon’t you remember?
ErinThat’s kind of the point I’m making.
WillAll right. What DO you remember?
ErinUmm…
WillSeriously?
ErinNothing.
WillI’m crushed.
ErinI’m sorry.
ErinWhy don’t you tell me what YOU remember?
WillDid I mention my fragile ego is crushed?
ErinYou’ve made it pretty clear.
ErinDoes it help that I really want to know?
WillWell, okay.
ErinThank you.
WillI remember lots of alcohol.
WillLots of laughing.
WillLots of dancing. Talking.
WillWe’re both hardcore Game of Thrones fans, by the way.
Erin perks up.
ErinI LOVE GOT!
WillI know. It’s awesome.
ErinAnything else?
WillSuch as?
Erin
WillWell?
ErinKissing?
WillOh, my dear. It doth occur to me that I have you at an advantage.
ErinYou DOTH have me at an advantage? Egads.
Will😛
WillWould it be wrong to torture you a little?
ErinIt absolutely would.
ErinPlease tell me what we did.
WillAll right. I’ll have mercy on you.
WillNothing happened.
WillWe both agreed that one night stands aren’t our thing.
WillBut said we wanted to get to know each other better.
WillSo we agreed to connect today via text.
WillYou gave me your number.
ErinI did?
WillYup — you wrote it on my arm with a sharpie.
ErinI had a sharpie?
WillI’m pretty sure you stole it from the bouncer.
ErinAnd I WROTE on your arm?
WillI’m looking at it right now.
WillYour number and a smiley face.
ErinA smiley face?
Will🙂
ErinI’m not exactly a smiley face kind of gal.
WillSometimes alcohol brings out our evil sides.
ErinEvil?
WillYou did use a sharpie.
WillThat isn’t coming off for weeks.
ErinLOL, sorry about that.
WillYou said you wanted to make sure I didn’t lose your number.
WillYou were ADAMANT that I text you today.
ErinI must have liked you.
WillYou did.
WillYou were besotted.
ErinBesotted? Or just sotted?
WillI’m pretty sure it was besotted 😉
ErinWell, I’m not exactly a besotted kind of gal either.
WillIt was probably me, then.
WillI’m adorable.
ErinYou must be, if I sharpied your arm.
ErinSo…what was it about me…
ErinThat caught your attention?
WillLet’s just say I walked into that bar…
WillAnd when I saw you, everyone else disappeared.
ErinReally? I’m pretty average.
WillAre you kidding?
WillYou’re gorgeous.
ErinHardly.
WillYou are to me.
WillYour face.
WillYour rockin’ bod.
WillYour smile.
WillYour gorgeous hair.
ErinMy hair?
Really? Erin wonders.
Her hair is boring brown, styled in a page cut with bangs.
WillI love long hair.
Long? Erin fingers her short locks.
WillAnd it’s such a pretty color.
ErinUmm…
WillIs that platinum blonde?
Oh. Shit.
Erin lowers her phone.
TiffanyWhat’s wrong?
ErinYou’re not going to believe this.
TiffanyWhat?
ErinI think he’s texting a wrong number.
TiffanyYou’re shitting me.
ErinI’m not.
ErinHe met someone at a bar. SHE gave him her number.
ErinBut it was a wrong number — a random number.
ErinIt was mine.
