HE CALLS ME ANGEL AND MY HEART RACES

JUDE

"Are you going to take a sip?"

"I will. I just need a minute."

Truth is, I am so full, and the way jude is now all pressed agaisnt me on the booth is screwing with my mind a little bit. What happens after I take the beer, and it messes with me even more?

"Have you never taken a beer before?" he is looking at me.

Miko has no problem taking a sip from his big mug. I follow the tip of his tongue as he locks to the top of his lip before I realize what I am doing.

I do need to drink it, if it helps getting my hungry eyes away from my friend.

"So, how come you only had one girlfriend?"

"What?"
