I left the beer bottles and hookah pipe behind and headed up for my truck, parked somewhere up the driveway. it was dark and a little misty, and I could hear the drunken laughter behind me. It had been a crazy party. Ahead I saw two bodies hanging out by the side of a car, only up close I saw it was two of my coworkers.
"Aw Joy, you're leaving already!" Harry complained. I nodded and hugged him.
"I can't take all your lunacy.God, you smell horrible!"
"Well I don't fuckin care." he growled. I had refused Harry's dramatic proposal for a relationship the night before; I don't think he was very happy with me at the moment. I just smiled. Daniel stepped forward and gave me that look he always gives me. I can't exactly explain it, its very gentle. When he first started working, he looked at me with a much more lustful eye. I'd had his buddies come in ask me what I thought about him. But unlike a hundred others, Daniel never asked me out. He quickly discovered my purity, and we both knew he was anything but pure. There was a bit of a gentleman in him left to know to leave me alone. I loved him for it. Tonight he reached out and wrapped me in a sturdy hug; he smelled just as bad as Harry but his skin was so soft.
"And you didn't even drink anything, Joy?" he whispered. I leaned my head back and looked him in the eyes.
"Not a drop. I'm a good girl, Daniel." I answered. He grinned, and his eyes were proud.
"I know you are. You're a good girl." He let me go and I walked up to my car and drove away, unscathed by the debauchery behind me.
