UNSCRIPTED ✰ COLIFER ✅

Chapter 19 ✰ Drunk Sleepover

Colin's pov

We went into the restaurant together. The host welcomed us and guided us to a table in the corner of the restaurant. It was nice and quiet there. Even though it was Friday night, it wasn't very busy.

Jennifer ordered a glass of wine and I ordered a coke. After all, I had to drive back and with the fatigue of that day it didn't seem like a good plan to drink alcohol.

'Well, Mr. Irish. What would you recommend?' she asked as she looked at the menu.

I grinned. 'I have to disappoint you, but there isn't really an Irish kitchen. If you really want Irish food, then you should go for the Irish stew'

'Irish stew?'

'Yes, a stew with beef, bacon, beer and different kinds of vegetables. Not very well known, but very tasty '

'I trust your knowledge' she laughed.

She ordered a carpaccio as a starter and the Irish stew as a main course. I decided to order the same. After ordering we sat in silence for a while to recover a bit from the busy day at work.

'Do you like it?' she broke the silence.

I nodded. 'Of course. Always when I'm with you, you know that!'

I saw her cheeks flushing red and she tried to avoid my gaze.

'Good to hear, me too'

There was another silence. When our starter was served after about 20 minutes, I noticed that a girl at a table ahead looked in our direction. I laughed.

'What's wrong?' Jennifer asked as she raised her eyebrow.

I bent forward so the girl couldn't hear me.

'I think, that girl at the table behind you recognizes us'

Jennifer smiled. 'Or she thinks that you're just a good looking guy'

'She is barely 16!' I yelled a little too hard.

'You have to learn it on an old bicycle'* she grinned (explanation in A/N)

'That's why I'm attracted to you' I rebounded

'You don't have to learn anything about women anymore' she said kind

I put my hand on hers and smiled. We enjoyed the rest of the evening and the food. The time went by fast. We had endless conversations about our youth, but also about what we want in the future. After the dessert I settled and stood up to leave. We decided to go to the girl for a photo and a signature. After that we headed outside.

It was incredibly cold. I wrapped my arm around her as we walked to the car. I felt her body shiver.

'Do you want to get a coffee on the way home or shall we have a drink at my place?' she asked in the car

I knew that if I went to her house there was a chance that something would happen between us. I could feel the tension during dinner. My head said no, but my heart screamed yes

'Let's have a drink at your place' I finally said

After a 20 minute ride I parked the car in her street. I turned off the engine and we walked towards the front door. It was autumn for a while, but it was already very cold!

After two cups of coffee, I decided to go home. I looked outside and the world had turned into a winter wonderland. I sighed. I had my driving license for years, but driving this weather was horrible.

'I don't really want you to drive in this weather' she said as if she were reading my thoughts.

I shrugged my shoulders. 'I have to go home anyway'

She turned around and looked at me. 'You can also sleep here. We're free tomorrow. I don't like it when you have to go back in the dark with these slippery roads.'

'Eh... I don't know if that's a smart idea, Jen' I began

'You don't have to sleep with me in one bed. You can go on the couch' she said as she pointed to the couch.

We drank some more wine together. Jennifer was clearly drunk and I felt the alcohol doing all of his work. I looked at the clock and saw that it was already after midnight.

'Maybe we should go to bed' I suggested

'Let me grab a duvet and a pillow for you' she said as she staggered to the kitchen with the wine glasses.

I laughed. I had seen Jen like that before, but never if it was just the two of us. Not much later she entered the living room with a duvet and a pillow.

'There you go, Mr. O'Donoghue' she said with a thick tongue. She turned on her heel and walked to the kitchen.

Since I had no pajamas with me, I decided to sleep in my boxershorts. The heating was on, so I would be warm enough. When I had taken off my pants and shirt, I turned on my heel and saw Jennifer staring at me.

A/N: *You have to learn it on an old bicycle = a typical Dutch saying. It's a really old one and the meaning nowadays is way different than years ago. Nowadays it's related to sex. It means that if you want to learn how to have great sex, do it with someone old(er) than you 😉
