She was about to send a text to Shonda when she realized she’d missed one from the night before.
Ben:You havin’ fun?
Kendra bit her lip as she pondered what to respond with.
Kendra:Good morning. Sorry I missed your text. We had shots after a couple rounds and I barely remember getting home.
She then shot a message to Shonda.
Kendra:You good up there, sis?
While she waited for a response, her phone pinged with a message back from BJ.
Ben:You should probably hydrate. How much did you have?
Kendra:A couple of mezcal margs and a couple of shots of tequila.
Ben:That’s brave.
Kendra:It was never the plan, but someone decided to send some shots to our table.
Ben:Y’all had them eatin’ out of your hand there, didn’t you?
Kendra snorted.
Kendra:I guess you could say that. Someone sent us the rounds of shots after we had some random step to us and call us bitches.
Ben:Wait, what?
Kendra:Yeah, not the most gentlemanly of them. But what do you expect from a leather coat and a grill?
Ben:Why do you always attract such weird men?
Kendra:You act like I’m in control of who I attract. Aren’t you in that group too?
Kendra smiled to herself as she sent the message.
Ben:Very funny. You know what I mean.
Kendra:I assure you that I don’t.
Ben:So, after all these shots, are you okay this morning?
She rolled her eyes.You’re not slick. I see you changing the subject.
Kendra:I’m not gonna lie to you, I’m hurting a little bit, but Lani’s far worse.
Ben:What, is she asleep in the bathroom?
Kendra:Well, she is on the floor, but she’s actually on the floor in the living room.
BJ sent a facepalm emoji.
Kendra:Yeah, well, I’m sure I look just as rough as she does, though I’ve had the benefit of a shower.
Ben:Well, you don’t sound like you’re that bad.
Kendra:Mmmhmm, take a look.
