I Like the Night Life?

B was supposed to text me when he woke up, but didn't hear from him. Went to Little Mountain Park with the family during the day and took a hike in the woods and looked out at the amazing view (a little scary from up there). Then I went to Draft Pics when night hit. I was in an overly confident mood, which may have been a bad thing. I was sporting my new Lip Service jacket, my makeup was done rather well and my hair was curled, which I have been getting a lot of compliments on.
Draft Pics J was there, as opposed to the various other J's I know. We didn't actually say hello right away just waved, he was with a group of people, so we sent text messages back and forth. Weird, yes I know. It was his birthday.
After awhile B showed up, he looked surprised to see me, made his rounds saying hello to people, then sat next to me. He had had a bad day. We played pool, he attempted showing me how to make some nice shots, which I kept flubbing up and then he had to go.
I sat back at the bar where a guy from Delaware said I looked bored, then told the bartender to get me another drink on him. He asked where my husband was, then where my ten boyfriends were, then where my girlfriend was. He introduced himself and then returned to his gang of friends.
J came and sat next to me and proceeded to tell me how people kept buying him drinks for his birthday and he was bound to do something he probably shouldn't do because of it, that he gets very grabby when he is drunk. He had to return to his table of friends in the other room and left his drink. Time passes. I text J telling him he left his drink, he says he knows, to save it for him. The bartender asks me where he went, I tell him he is coming back, the bartender tells me he just fell down the stairs a minute ago.
A guy a few chairs down from me smiles, signals asking if he can sit next to me, I nod yes. Introduces himself, he asks if I like the Sounders. We attempt a conversation. Then J pops up out of no where, sits next to me and says he's sorry, that he shouldn't leave things behind, because anyone can just come and sit next to you or some such. I try and juggle two conversations at once, a sober conversation to the right of me, a drunk, grabby birthday boy to the left.
M comes in, introduces me to a friend of his. I give him my free gin and tonic, I can't drink anymore. Birthday boy goes back to his friends which leaves a straight shot for F to see me: 65, veteran, lives across the street. He doesn't remember he already talked to me last time. He brings up some of the same things...but adds that when I get tired of the young boys I can come to him. I can't seem to hold a conversation with the sober-ish person to my right, he momentarily disappeared while J had my attention.
M stands in front of "Sounders" seat. I see Sounder again, excuse myself and go to apologize due to the distractions of birthday boy. We decide to sit back in our spot again. M comes back around when he is leaving, asks if B was there and if I got to talk to him, tells me he will talk to me later.
2 a.m. hits, I jump up so as not to annoy the bartenders. Sounders asks if I'm leaving, I say yes. I head outside. M is still there. He is wearing his taco shirt, tells the people outside I was the one to see him win. Decides to pick me up. Ask J if he needs a ride, why? Because I temporarily forgot who I was. Delaware group is standing outside, asks what I'm up to. Says I should come to the Best Western hotel for an after party. Bring my girlfriend. ? I didn't know I had one.
J needs a ride, but follows a friend to their car to say goodbye. I head to mine. As I'm standing outside my car Sounders walks by, we make remarks, then a car full of people pulls up, Delaware group, not the guy who bought me the drink, but his friend asks if I am coming to the hotel. I say I'm not sure. He tells me I should, it will be a lot of fun and they will have beer. Tells me the room number again. Asks if my friend will be joining me, see Sounder walking off in the distance. Tries to convince me to come again, then they drive off.
I sit in my car, then hear a rapping, Sounder is standing outside my passenger side window. I open the door, he gets in. He says that he saw the car pull up and heard them talking about a hotel and thought that I was going to be murdered in a few minutes and that was sad, because it was nice to meet me. We start making jokes about random people, dive bars and getting murdered.
I see J leaning against a building. No one is around. I feel bad. I offered him a ride, it seems everyone left him. I tell Sounder I need to give him a ride home. He tells me we should leave J and go to the hotel, that he would never go to an after party like that and he has seen J a few times, he isn't the type of guy I want to be around, in fewer words. He said that he will make sure nothing happens to me at the hotel and it will be an adventure. I tell him I would feel bad just leaving J, I have to see if he still needs a ride, I text him, his texts aren't making sense. Sounder reads it, he says J is implying he wants sex. J disappeared from the building I get out of the car, Sounder says that if I'm doing this then he is going with me, he doesn't want me getting raped.
See J walking on the street, ask him if he still needs a ride, he says yes, his friends ditched him. Sounder is very much trying to be in control, he says we can drop him off. Get to my car. They both "fight" over who gets to sit up front. Sounder sits up front. I ask where I'm going. Sounder says, "That would be you J." They "argue" over who is getting dropped off first then Sounder gets irritated and says here is fine then, gets out and slams my door. He wanted me to tell J he was going home first. J is happy, he says now he can sit in the front seat.
And really the evening should have ended before this. J was very aggressive before we were alone and more so after we were alone. I should have left with B, instead I got home after 5 a.m.
