Lying on her back, limbs draped across the sofa haphazardly, Penny’s eyes were fixed on the ceiling, humming along to The Smiths’ Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now as it groaned from her record player across the room.  Upon waking up that morning still drunk from the night before, she had elected to prolong her hangover for as long as possible by day-drinking wine.  Now, nearly three bottles in, she couldn’t remember inviting Noah over, only that he had appeared at her front door—not that she was complaining, she rather appreciated the company.  “Y’know what’s fucked up?” She said, sitting up and nudging Noah with her fuzzy-sock-clad toe.  “If I ever met Morrissey, he would probably fucking hate me.  Like, I love hamburgers.” She took a sip idly from her glass of wine. “Meat may be murder, but it’s fuckin’ delicious.”

“Y’know, it’s weird, my boyfriend was saying the same thing to me earlier today,” Penny remarked to the man beside her at the bar, a vacant expression on her face, pointedly holding her rum and coke closer to her chest to avoid being roofied.  Quickly scanning her surroundings as if searching for an escape route, she noticed a familiar face walking in her general direction.  Bingo.  “Ronan, babe, there you are!” She smiled widely at him as he started to pass by, sticking out an arm to stop him.  “I was just talking about you,” she tilted her head towards the man, urging Ronan to play along with a quirk of her eyebrow.

“I’ll only share it with you if you promise to drive me to McDons afterwards,” Penny bargained, holding the joint slightly out of reach.  “I’ve been craving fries all day.”

Tuesday giggled again as they separated, pleased that she had gotten her kiss. “Thank you. I use chapstick,” she responded with a laugh. She took out the keys, handing them back to the girl. “Alright, you payed the toll. But if you wanted to do that again, I wouldn’t object.“

“Chapstick is the stuff of Gods,” she expressed, pocketing her keys to prevent further theft.  “And If the pretty soft-lipped girl wants another kiss, another kiss she will get.” Penny leaned in once more, touching their lips together with slightly more pressure than before.

“How does it feel?” she asked. Truthfully, she’d never had a drop of alcohol past her lips that didn’t come from some kind of fruit. “After you drink it.”

“Alcohol?  It’s like....” She trailed off, searching for a way to describe the state of being drunk. “Well, you get really dizzy, and warm.  Some people, like me, get really happy.  Some people get really loud.  Some people get relentlessly horny.  It depends, really.”

“Ambitious. I like it. I’d love to see you commit to that, Penny.”

“Done—consider me committed.  I’ll even send you progress updates.  What about you, any resolutions?  Gonna start hitting the gym?  Take up meditation?”

Cleo laughed, a burst of chuckles as the girl spoke, taking a bow. “Thank you, thank you very much.” She tended to do crazy things like that when she was wasted. Get angry, make rash decisions. “Nope. No ragrets, as that kid in We’re the Millers once said. We can’t let our phones control us,” she stated, nodding her head.

Penny nodded along as she listened, still looking at Cleo as if she were a God. “Hell yeah!  Rebel against the establishment, fuck the man, and all that shit!” She raised her palm, offering a high five to her new role model.  “Mad respect for your cause.  Y’know, robots are gonna take over the world some day.  We can’t let technology win.”

Tuesday giggled again, moving the girl’s keys out of reach as she grabbed at them. “Well then, why don’t you just go ahead and do it? Only way to get your keys back,” she said with a grin. She always got a little overly flirtatious when she was drunk. Tuesday leaned in, kissing the girl lightly on the lips.

“If you insist,” she obliged, further bridging the gap between them and pressing her lips against Tuesday’s, her fingers absently tangling in strands of her hair.  After a moment, she pulled away, smiling dizzily. “Dude, your lips are really soft.”

“That is a very fixable problem. Just drink more and ponder my brilliance,” he said, returning the bottle. “First you yell at me for not drinking, now you yell at me for drinking. My god, I’ll never win. Women these days, so picky.”

“I’ll do the drinking part, but I’m gonna have to raincheck the brilliance pondering.” She took the bottle gladly, downing a bit more champagne.  She was rapidly slipping away from slightly tipsy and into the depths of absolutely hammered, but she wasn’t planning on stopping until the entire bottle was gone. “That’s because every choice you make is the wrong one, of course.  Now drink more,” she held the bottle out for him once again.

Cleo stared at her phone screen, squinting at the splintering cracks in the grass. She had dropped it earlier, and a stiletto heel had stepped on the glass, cracking it. She frowned. “Fuckin’…..” She trailed off, anger starting to boil up inside of her. She threw the phone, hurling it over the balcony, watching it drop into the water. “You don’t don’t control me, Apple!” She shouted over the railing. She then turned around to notice someone staring at her. “What?”

[pennymac-blog]

“That was... inspired,” There was no hint of sarcasm in her voice as Penny stared awestruck at the girl before her.  “Watching you hurl your iPhone overboard was probably the highlight of 2016.  I’m saying that seriously—I’m totally on board with the whole ‘fuck technology’ thing.  Even if you’re probably just drunk and will most likely regret this first thing tomorrow morning, color me impressed.”

Tuesday held the person’s keys in her hands, quickly putting them behind her back, a drunken giggle escaping from her mouth. “Nope, no. I’ve got your keys. You can’t leave until you make out with me,” the girl said, a wide grin on her face, wiggling her eyebrows.

Penny was feeling as light and bubbly as the full bottle of champagne she’d downed almost single-handedly, and once Tuesday started giggling, she couldn’t help but join in.  “That’s not much of a challenge,” She teased, not even bothering to reach for her keys. “On the list of difficult tasks, making out with you places, like, really low.  Like, maybe it isn’t even on the list.”

“The rise and fall of a true icon,” Leah finished her quick laugh with a quick swig, the bubbles in the champagne rushing into her nose while her face screwed up as she shoved the bottle back towards the woman. If there was one thing Leah would refuse to drink at a normal party, it was that crap, but this was the last party of the year and she’d promised herself not to turn down a drink. “I don’t know how you drink that stuff.”

Penny received the bottle without complaint, immediately taking another swig before grinning devilishly.  “It’s New Year’s tradition to drink an entire bottle of champagne.  At least, that’s what I did last year.  Probably the year before, too, although I don’t really remember much from that night.” Perhaps it was cheating to share the bottle with someone else, but Penny never had a problem with bending the rules.  “The trick is to keep drinking.  You’ll either get used to it, or you’ll be too trashed to know the difference.  Either way, it’s a win.  Although, if you really want something else, I’m sure there’s enough alcohol on this boat to put an entire village in the hospital.”
