she’d be used to them. Still, she broke the silence as only she could.
     
    “Where’s my Precious?” She said, in a coddling voice. She bent over and opened her ice chest. Angel watched as she poured herself less than a quarter of a cup.
     
    He enjoyed teasing her. “Maybe if you’d fill the cup, you wouldn’t have to refill so often.”
     
    “Ah, to deal with lower society,” she smirked. “This isn’t beer, Angel. You sip, so if I fill it, by the time I’m half way through, it’ll be warm. I don’t like warm wine, okay?”
     
“Oh no, you didn’t just call me lower society!”
     
“Oh, yes, I did.”
     
Angel held his pointer finger up in front of her, and she began to giggle again. “One word.”
     
“Bring it,” She took a sip.
     
“Quack!”
     
    She covered her mouth with the cup to avoid spitting and turned her back on him so he couldn’t see it leak out the side of her mouth. She turned back to face him and kept laughing. “You had to go there.” She wiped around her cleavage.
     
    His eyes were fixated on her hands. “I had to.” Gulping hard, he watched her continue to wipe the wine from the front of her blouse. “I can help you with that.”
     
She smiled at him half rolling her eyes. “That’s okay.” She returned her attention to her blouse, and he couldn’t look away.
     
He was still standing there gaping, when he felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Eric. “Hey, dude, you ready?”
     
Angel turned around. Eric was holding Romero up. “Damn, is he that wasted?”
     
Eric shot him a sarcastic look. Angel turned to Sarah. “This is my ride.”
     
    She glanced over at Eric holding Romero up, and giggled a little. Angel could see she was lightheaded from the wine. She seemed so small and delicate and incredibly vulnerable, “I won’t leave though. Where’s Valerie?”
     
    She smiled at him. “Go ahead, I’m fine.”
     
    Like hell . “Yeah, you are fine. But I’m not leaving you until Valerie gets back.”
     
    The party was beginning to end and Valerie, Sarah’s ride, was nowhere in sight. Sarah had tried calling her several times on her cell, but the call wouldn’t go through. Angel grabbed Sarah’s hand in his, and both their ice chests in his other. “Come on, let’s go look for Valerie.”
     
    As they walked through the party, one of Dana’s friends tried to stop him. “Hey, Angel, where’s Dana?” Her eyebrows were arched and she peered at Sarah. Angel kept walking, pretending not to hear.
     
    “Is Dana your girlfriend?” He could feel Sarah try to let go of his hand but he only tightened the grip.
     
    Angel pressed his lips for a second, “Nope.”
     
    Eric was right outside looking a little irritated. Angel knew how Romero could get when he was drunk, and Eric had been on his own with him now all night, so he understood his frustration.
     
    “Dude, are you ready to go?” Eric asked.
     
    Sarah was still holding Angel’s hand. Angel looked at him apologetically. “Give me a sec. She needs to find her friend.”
     
    Sarah was calling Valerie on her cell again but she wasn’t answering. When they got to the car, she looked at him. “I can’t leave Valerie.”
     
    “Okay.” He pulled her closer to him, out of the way of oncoming cars that still cruised past the party. She leaned against him and he put his arm around her waist. He’d burned to touch her, all night, and now all he wanted was to take care of her. He examined her face, smiling tenderly. “How you feeling?”
     
    She smiled, finally looking in his eyes. “Better now.”
     
    It took all his willpower to not lean over and kiss her, but the last thing he wanted was for anything to happen tonight that she could dismiss tomorrow and blame on the wine.
     
    He turned to see Eric adjusting Romero in the front seat. Romero was totally out. Angel motioned toward him. “By the way, meet my friend Romero.”
     
Sarah laughed. “Is that really his name?”
     
“Well, his
