Not Without You [Chris Evans]

Chris' POV

"I'm honestly concerned you're both going to get alcohol poisoning," Sadie said, shaking her head as Megan finally swayed putting her glass down. I'd lost count of how many we'd had by this point but the girl was definitely holding her own better than I thought she could.

"Just a couple more," Megan begged, her words starting to slur. "I'm not giving up and I'm still standing," she said, looking over at me. I'd widened my stance before we'd started drinking because I was past buzzing and well on my way to drunk.

"Not for long, Roşu," Sebastian said, steadying her. "If I let go, I think you'd fall. Chris wins this time – I still can't believe you can drink that much and not be passed out already."

    "Tequila doesn't affect me as fast as vodka does. No way could I take this many shots of vodka and still be standing."

    "We'll keep that in mind for next time," Lizzie said with what could only be described as an evil grin. She was very amused by drunk Megan who said exactly what was on her mind.

"We could watch a movie instead - one of the ones you haven't seen yet, maybe." Sadie said as I took another shot, trying to keep the grin off my face. 

"I think you've had enough for the night too, punk," Sebastian said as soon as I finished  it and set the glass down. "Remember what happened the last time we drank this much?"

"Nope." I didn't right now, but it must have been something we shouldn't repeat. "Should I?" He only laughed in response, making me smile.

"What's it going to be, Megan?" Tom asked. "You still in or are you done?"

"I'm done," she groaned, giving in. "If I take any more I'm going to pass out."

I pumped a fist in the air in victory. "Yes! I win!" Sebastian high-fived me and Tom clapped me on the back, one arm around Megan to keep her upright.

"I'm going to go shower before I pass out," Megan said, her words slurring more. "Can't sleep in makeup - is bad for you."

"I'll come help you get out of your dress. I don't want you to fall or anything," Sadie said, putting an arm around the younger woman to get her going the right direction. "Guys, why don't you get showered too before we watch a movie? I'm not ready to go to sleep yet."

"Are you saying we don't smell good?" I said, giving her a mock offended look.

"Yes I am," Sadie grinned, waving one hand in front of her nose suggestively. "Not quite as bad as earlier today but you're still pretty ripe."

"Sounds like a plan," Sebastian said, putting one arm around Tom's neck.

"Tom, why don't you go first while we find something for you to sleep in," I said as we made our way out of the kitchen.

"I'm going to throw my clothes in the wash so I have something to wear tomorrow that doesn't reek of booze," Sebastian said. "Tom, Lizzie - do you want to put yours in too?"

"Can't," Lizzie said. "Dry clean only. Sadie said I could borrow some of her clothes so I don't have to do the walk of shame tomorrow."

"It's only a walk of shame when you stay over at some random guy's place and get laid," Seb laughed. "If you don't get laid it doesn't count."

"Thanks for clearing that up, Baz," Lizzie said, shaking her head at us. "Why do I hang out with you guys again?"

"We're entertaining?" I offered, getting a giggle from her.

"I look like a drowned rat," Tom said, looking at himself in the mirror. "I can't believe you're that much larger than I am, Chris."
