Felicity was awake.

She was on California time, and she was up late working on some projects anyway. When the text came through, her first inclination was to ignore it. It was just Aaron, being Aaron, and she should ignore it. But he hadn't reached out to her in months, but now he wanted to comment on her skills in bed.

He was probably drunk.

It was probably nothing.

She picked up the phone anyway, hitting send and waiting for him to answer the phone. She needed to be sure that it was nothing first.

He had kind of passed out. Somewhere between a drunken stupor and sleep. It took several rings before he realized, and he reached for the phone, checking the caller ID. He sighed and rolled onto his back and flipped his phone open.

"Wanna know what I'm wearin'?" He asked.

"Not really," she replied evenly, leaning back against the couch more. "Am curious about what you're drinking though."

His fingers brushed up and down his chest. He wanted her to tell him what she wasn't wearing.

"Nothing now," he mumbled. "It was.." He leaned over the side of the bed to grab the bottle, but fell off the bed with an "oomph".
