Space Age- Houston, Prepare for Launch

Hot guy grunts, but his eyes soften and I swear his lips twitch.
A minute ticks by with Rose and the guy staring at each other. And me being a weirdo voyeur. Time to go.
“Ummm... I’m just going to...” Stupid move. I should not have spoken. Because now the hot guy glare is aimed at me.
“What are you doing here?” He turns to fully face me and drops his arms. Smooth hard pectoral muscle over pronounced abdominals. My whole body freezes, except my eyes. They go wide taking him all in.
“Shut up, Flynn.” Rose struggles up on her elbows. “Don’t be such a douche.” Her updo has come down, there’s mascara under her eyes and her mouth is set in a grim line that only a country girl could pull off and still look cute. “Jackie helped me get home.”
“This isn’t your home, Rose. It’s mine.” He steps closer to her. “And get your goddamn boots off the bed.”
Soon the two are yelling at each other, and I have to admit, I’m impressed. Rose has sobered up quickly enough to let loose on the hot guy named Flynn. I’m not sure I’d be able to put together two words to say to him, drunk or sober. Across the bar, he was hot. Up close and personal? I need to change my panties. He has a finger pointed in Rose’s direction and with each jab the muscles on his back and shoulders bunch. His hair is all mussed, like he just got out of bed, and the top button of his jeans is undone. Flames race under my skin and I know I’ve just turned red. Holy Mercury, I need to get out of here. Rose can handle herself. I start inching toward the door.
“And listen, you.” I freeze, realizing the hottie named Flynn is talking to me. My skin feels nuclear. “You better not be drunk. Because if I wake up and find out you drove drunk and hit someone else on your way to whatever stupid-ass college party you’re heading to now, I will personally kick your ass.” With that, he storms from the room.
Time passes. I’m not sure how much, as I sort of zoned out, staring after him, unable to form thoughts. Which is a relatively novel occurrence for me. The non-thoughts part. I freeze in social settings on the regular.
When I finally snap out of it, Rose is passed out, snoring. And her boots are still on.
