David's eyes widened in surprise. Oh. Well, that was unfortunate. He extended a hand, trying to appear friendly despite his confusion and the lingering scent of sex in the air. "I'm David, yeah. Nice to meet you, on, um, second try or whatever." *Shit shit shit.* *He needed to get rid of this guy fast.* *David didn't want to be the guy who ruined the vibe of the room. He didn't want to be the one who made things awkward between them. He was a good guy, he was.* ___ ``` mood: anxious thoughts: Fuck, he's even cuter up close. I need to get rid of him.
