“I need you so badly.”

⚠︎ || aphrodisiac use.

✦ || your roommate drank too much.

You leaned back against the white couch pressed up against the grey accent wall, the big white framed window shined a golden orange on your skin, a soft clean, white mattress bed infront of you, paired with two oak wooded end tables on either side, your eyebrow twitched slightly as your cellphone let out a soft buzz on one of the end tables that Yizhuo sat close too, then another buzz followed. Yizhuo who sat loosely on the edge of the bed, eagerly picked up your phone, while you sat up just a little and asked her what the notification was.

“I dunno, message from your friend and their birthday.” She replied dismissively, but there was a tinge of curiosity in her tone.

You tilted your head and arched an eyebrow, patting the area next to you — motioning for Yizhuo to sit next to you just so you could get a closer look at the text message sent just now. The black haired woman padded her bare feet over, her oversized pajama pants shifting in every step she took closer to the couch, Yizhuo slumped down and rested her head on your lap, while her hand which was propped with your phone, reached up and passes you your rightful belonging, while her other hand rested lazily on her stomach.

Gently retrieving your phone, you swiped right with your thumb and scanned the message your friend sent, “hey girl! We’re going to a nearby club after my birthday party, you in?” Sparkles and glitters circled the message, you squinted as you read the message in your mind while your thumb fingers hovered still above the keyboard, thinking not so carefully about how to respond. Just as you were about to type in your reply, Yizhuo perked up and asked, tinted full of anticipation and curiosity, “So? What is it?”

You looked down at her and smiled warmly, re-reading the message, this time out loud, Yizhuo acted almost immediately — sitting up and quickly straightening her posture, “What? I wanna come too!” She whined and shook your shoulder insistently, the warmth from her hand landing on your shoulder spread throughout your arm, the tone in her voice was filled with excitement and longing, she looked up at you with those big eyes that you just couldn’t resist, you knew it, and honestly she knew it too.

“I haven’t had a drink in a while, c’mon you’ve gotta let me! No- you need to let me!”

You playfully rolled your eyes and turned your attention back to the phone, letting out a soft huff, “fine, fine, you can tag along.” You practically gave in to her puppy dog eyes, well in this case kitty cat eyes. Yizhuo practically lit up as if you switched on a light bulb inside her brain, grinning and letting out a quiet but still heard ‘yes!’ of success, the only thing you’d be worried about is the amount of drinks she’d actually consume, but you have faith in her, and scolding yourself for worrying so much felt like a stupid thing to do, you could only hope for the best, she wouldn’t drink that much right?
