"You" - Part 5

We walked for what seemed like forever
But we walked together
Exchanging stories
Getting to know one another
We walked until we found the bar
Where we had promised
To meet your friends
My brother was drunk
I think he was trying to get you drunk too
Although I'm pretty sure you already were
He kept buying you beers
He'd been excited to meet you
Maybe that's why
I was tipsy but still had my wits about me
They bought us another round
Beers and whiskey shots
I hate whiskey
They were big shots too
We took a moment to cheers
"To you and you being here"
Before throwing the potent brown liquid
Quickly down our throats
I missed my mouth
Threw most of it down my front
Nice trick I thought
Depending on how you viewed it
Upside:
Prevention of further intoxication
Downside:
Unattractive, accidental drenched white shirt
I thought it better in any case
To acknowledge my mistake
So you didn't think I was just out
To win some imaginary wet t-shirt competition
We'd laugh about it days later
It'd be my new thing
When my brother bought me shots
I couldn't fit in
The night was winding down
Everyone had drunk too much
And it was getting late
Too late for a week night
Everyone began to leave
In dribs and drabs
You disappeared to the bathroom
And when you came back
It was as though everyone
Had been in on some grand plan
Suddenly it was just us
Alone at a little table
In the back of some bar
I ordered us a couple of iced waters
You downed them both
The bar would be closing soon
So you gave me a list of options
To choose from
On what to do next
A quick glance at the time
Past 2:00am
Work soon
But...
I went with 'Option A' anyway
Which was most unlike me
On Monday I had made you safe
Looks like Tuesday was your turn
And you did
We left the bar
Jumped in a yellow cab
You gave the driver your hotel's address
I think we were holding hands
Though my memory from that night
Is a little foggy
To say the least
Apparently I talked a lot
I do that when I get shy
But that's okay
You peed a lot
Which you do when
You drink too much
Alcohol
Then water
My brother messaged me
To check I was okay
I told him I was in a cab
With a stranger
Heading to a hotel
Somewhere in the city
I told him not to worry
That I knew I was safe
With this stranger
I had just met
Day two
Of you...
