"I wasn't completely smashed the whole night, you know. I saw you guys talking and dancing, Dan looked like he was really enjoying himself. It's not too hard to see that he likes you."

...

He does not. Liar. Dirty evil mean sleeping with Madsen and going to cause World War III because of it. Don't toy with my emotions here, that's not fair in the slighest. It's mean spirited, is what it is!

"No he doesn't. Don't do that to me." I muttered, sliding down in my chair even more and sipping my drink. This is so mean, now Alex of all people has started messing with my head. It's not fair!

"Because you like him? It couldn't hurt to call him up and say hi."

... She doesn't know me very well, does she? I mess up everything inevitably. People think I don't know that, but I know that. I mess up everything, and I'm left guyless. And I am not messing up things with Dan again.

Even if it means watching him when he's not looking and inwardly remarking on how Excessively Cute his Study Boy-ness is. I can do that. It'll drive me insane, but I do know that.

"I don't think so." I mumbled. "I could end up doing something really stupid."

"No he doesn't. Don't do that to me."

Oh, jeez. Here we go. Low self-esteem strikes again. Doesn't she know that women can get anything they want? Usually just by smiling real pretty, even. I know it makes me sound horrible and manipulative, but it's true. I learned all that from Carly. When it comes to men, women have all the power.

All of it.

"I don't think so. I could end up doing something really stupid."

"You won't," I told her, "And even if you do do something that you think is stupid, Dan would never notice. Guys never pick up on that stuff, no matter how outrageous it is. You're a woman, Ari. A hot chick, even. You can get any guy you want. If that guy is Dan, then go get him. All you have to do is take the first step. Guys love that, by the way."

I took another sip of my coffee. "And he does so like you. He was practically drooling on your shoes at that party."

That's very speechy and uplifiting. I like it, even though technically it's not all that true.

So, I need to take the first step. I sort of did that, but I was really reall drunk at the time. So I need to take a better first step. Which would be...

Alright, maybe I don't know that part yet... but I'll figure it out. It's going to be hard, but I'm going to do it. If I wasn't completely sure I'd get my head taken off, I'd ask Carly. She always gets what she wants out of a guy.

It's unnerving, once you get down to it.

"And he does so like you. He was practically drooling on your shoes at that party."

"I didn't notice..." I frowned. Well, maybe it was just because I was trying my hardest not to drool over his. But he's so much fun to look at...

I'm easily distracted when he's around. I swear, I never hope he's around me when I'm fighting something, I'll end up dead for sure. He'll be distracting, and it'll be bad.

"Well, I think we've advised each other enough for today." I stood. "And I have to get on that talking to him thing. And you have to get on talking to Madsen." I smirked as I looked at her. "Just. Talking."

Wonder if she can do that.
