His Keeper
"C'mon Eli, loosen up a bit! It's time to par~tay!!"
Tommy yelled over the thumping base beat rumbling through the crowded club's dance floor, trying to get his friend's attention. Eli just grunted and slouched lower on the bar stool.
"Shut up, Tommy. I'm only here because Kate made me come."
Tommy giggled, his voice several tones higher than normal due to his state of inebriation.
"Aw, see? Kate agrees with me! You need ta pull that stick outta your ass and get out on that dance floor!"
Eli rubbed the bridge of his nose with his index finger as he took a deep breath.
"No, Tommy, Kate made me come because the last time you went out without a keeper, we found you lying on our front doorstep wearing a thong on your head. The time before that you ended up blowing up some guy's car."
"Dude, that was an accident! You're just being a worrywart!"
Eli rolled his eyes and grumbled a "Yeah. Sure. Whatever.", but Tommy had already been pulled back into the throng of grinding, dancing twenty-somethings. Eli checked his watch.
"Only 12:30. Crap."
It was going to be a long night.
