"Oh fuck!" I whispered.
I put down my drink, grabbed the remote and turned the TV off.
"Um.. Hi.." I said very embarrassed.
Elton bursts out laughing, falling into the door with laughter.
"Dayum I wish I had my camera rolling.. That would of been some hilarious footage." laughs Elton.
He wheels in his suit case and shuts the front door.
Elton walks over to me.
"Bring it in, bring it in." he said.
Elton hugs me, I hug him back, still embarrassed.
"You were always a wild one. You haven't changed, brilliant." chuckles Elton.
"Two minutes and we can chat" said Elton.
"Okay.." I said still embarrassed.
Elton heads upstairs with his suitcase. I hear his bedroom door close so I jog up too and go to my bedroom. I put on some PJ trousers so I no longer had my ass out. I'm still embarrassed ahhhh. I look at myself in the mirror and my cheeks are so red.
I contemplate weather to go back out or not just due to pure embarrassment. I give it 5 minutes to calm down a bit. Alcohol and shock is not the best mix.
I stand in front of my bedroom door, I exhale deeply and open it. I head downstairs and see Elton sitting on the sofa with the TV on, drinking a beer. I hit the bottom step, it creaks, Elton hears and turns his head towards me.
"Hey you. Come chill." he said.
I walk over to the sofa which is a small two seater and sit down, basically right next to Elton.
"So, who knew my new roommate would be ****** from middle school." said Elton.
"Who knew my new landlord would be Elton Castee from middle school?" I laughed.
"How do you know Tom (my old friend) then?" asked Elton.
"I met him at a concert when I was 18. We were close for a bit then I had to move due to personal circumstances." I replied.
"Same here but I was 25 so only about 2-3 years ago now. Never been fully close but always been in touch you know." he said.
I smile and nod.
"How long has it been?" Elton begins to count in his head. "11 years since middle school? and what? 4 or 5 since I saw you at that concert? You were so drunk I don't think you even knew who I was when I walked past and said hello?" said Elton.
"Sounds about right and I was going through a rough time but I definitely recognized Elton Castee" I laughed.
Elton and I continue talking about old times and our recent lives and what we've been doing. Before we know it, it's 10:30pm and I'm very tipsy! Still talking, and watching TV I could so easily kiss him right now but I know better than that. I'd love to get to know him again and find out if he even likes me...
I try to stand and fall back into the sofa.
"I'm trying to go to bed!" I said drunkenly.
"Come here I'll help you" said Elton as he stood up and wobbled because he was tipsy too! "whuup" he laughed almost falling.
He helped me up off the sofa as we both staggered up the stairs, laughing into pieces.
Holding me with his left arm he uses his right to open my bedroom door before asking "this one?"
I lifted my head, we were very close, out noses almost brushed. I look into his eyes and he looks back into mine. I turn towards the door and push it, stumbling into my room.
Elton politely stands at the door.
"you good?" he asked.
"It was nice meeting you Elton, again." I laughed as I dragged myself up into bed.
"Night." said Elton as he left.
I fell into a drunken sleep.
