Champagne by Kim Warren

“This is your doing!!!” Ellen screamed at Lila, as she walked through the shop door. Lila couldn’t help but laugh at the state of her friend. She was pale and had her left hand pressed against her aching head, her shirt was inside out and her hair was lying limp and lifeless against her cheeks.

“I didn’t force it down your neck babe,” Lila said in her defence, “you were the one asking for more.”

“Errrrr,” Ellen moaned sinking down so her entire top half was lying on the counter. “They should not give a drunk person that much alcohol.”

“Erm yeah,” Lila said nervously “Have you seen Max today?”

“No why?” Ellen moaned into the counter.

“Well,” Lila shuffled across the shop and leant on the counter in front of her friend. “You may have confessed undying love for him last night and told him his girlfriend had fat thighs.”

Ellen’s body tensed as this information sunk in.

“Oh god no.”

“Buuuuut,” Lila said smiling from ear to ear, “last week he found out his girlfriend had been cheating on him so they’ve split up.”

Ellen’s head shot up and her vision went all blurry.

“He loved your thighs comment, you spent all night chatting and he wrote his number on your hand, see...” She pointed at Ellen’s fingers and she noticed she did indeed have a number on her hand.

“Now, you wouldn’t have even dreamed of doing what you did last night if you were sober would you?” Lila said giggling.

Ellen suddenly leant down and grabbed her water bottle from under the counter and held it above her head.

“To Champagn!!” She cried.

“Hell yeah!” Ellen replied and they knocked their water bottles together.
