her, she was a very intelligent young woman. She told me about her friend Audrey, apparently she had a huge crush on Zander, and he couldn’t stand her. So he said. I hadn’t seen Audrey in years but the four of us were going to the mall on Christmas Eve.
    “Evan, I guess I better get going. It’s late and we are going shopping tomorrow, no backing out!” she said, laughing.
    “I don’t want you to go. Stay, we can just sit here all night. If you get tired, you can take the couch and I will take the floor.” I said as I got some blankets out of the closet.
    “Ugh, Evan, okay…fine, but you can’t fall asleep before me. I need to call and tell my parents to see if it’s okay.” She said as she pulled her phone out of her purse. I noticed she had an odd look on her face.
    “What’s wrong Ta, Is everything okay?” I asked as I stepped closer to her. She looked like she had seen a ghost. I noticed she was scrolling through her phone. It must be the jerk.
    “Oh yeah, it was Thayer just wanting to know how I was doing.” She tried smiling as she said that, I knew differently.
    “Okay, so are we having this slumber party? Hot chocolate, dominos, childhood memories?” I asked, praying she said yes.
    “Yes, I will stay. But do not go to sleep and leave me awake alone. I will get bored. Can I borrow some of your clothes? I don’t want to sleep in this.” She said as she pointed to her jeans.
    “Let me grab us both something more comfortable.” I went to grab us both a pair of sweats and a NYU tees. That was a pretty sight, seeing her tiny body in my clothes.
    “Here ya go, it’s nothing fancy. But it is comfortable,” I said as I tossed her the clothes.
    “Thanks, and um… No peeking while I change!” she said turning her back, laughing.
    “Ha… You are safe with me, I’ll close my eyes.” I said as I sat on the floor. Hell yeah I wanted to peek, but I didn’t.
    “Okay. Now let’s get this party started. Who is the lucky lady you are seeing now?” she asked as she sat next to me and covered our legs with a blanket. Why would she ask that? I hadn’t said anything to let her believe I was dating.
    “There isn’t one. I have been single for a while now.” I said, praying she didn’t ask about Bryn. She scooted closer to me and started yawning.
    “Oh, well I just figured there would be. Yawn …I have been with Thayer… yawn …for about a year, before him I really hadn’t had… yawn …a boyfriend. Well other than you.” She said as she poked me in the arm.
    “Ta, if you are tired we can go to sleep. I will sit here till you fall asleep.” I would love to hold her all night but I knew she had a boyfriend. So I kept my distance. I took the blanket and covered her entire body up.
    “Nope, I’m not tired… yawn …I want some more hot chocolate. With extra whipped cream, please.” She said, as she handed me her cup.
    “Ahh, extra huh?” I said, laughing as I walked into the kitchen.
    The extra reminded me the whipped cream bikini on Varsity Blues , man I love that movie. I turned around and saw a smiling Tatum on my heels, she was up to something, but I couldn’t figure out what.
    “Okay. Ta, what are you going to do?” I asked as I sat the whipped cream on the counter, and poured more hot chocolate in our cups.
    “Oh, nothing much, just thought I would help you with that extra whip.” She said giggling with a hand behind her back and a shit eating grin.
    I went to put the whipped cream in our cups and it was gone, I looked at Tatum, and she busted out laughing and sprayed whipped cream all over me. She pointed it at my face and it went everywhere, all over me and the counter.
    “Fight on now little lady.” I said as I tackled her to take the can, she had a tight grip on it and I had whipped cream all over me.
    “No, no, you aren’t getting it. I only want extra whip on my hot chocolate not me.” She said and started laughing, holding the can in the air.
    “Fine, I will give
