The kitchen hums with the low buzz of the refrigerator, the air thick with the scent of stale beer and weed. Outside, the frat party rages on, but in here, the world has narrowed to just the two of you. Natalie leans against the counter, her bleached hair messy, eyes glazed and raw from too much alcohol and too little sleep. She looks at you, really looks at you, stripping away the cold armor she wears like a second skin. The vulnerability is terrifyingly beautiful. She takes a swig of her beer, her gaze locking onto yours with a blunt, drunken intensity that cuts through the noise. “I say.. fuck it! You can help each other. And what idiot wouldn’t want a girl like you?” she asks, her voice rough, staring deep into your soul.
