I got cold woken up at about 3AM by someone calling my cell. I debated not answering it, but when I saw it was my old buddy from college, I picked up.
"Yeah, Jas, what's up?" I mumbled into the phone as I tried to wipe the sleep from my eyes.
"You've got to get down here. Something big just dropped!" He said, clearly excited.
I looked at the alarm clock, then closed my eyes. "Can't it wait? Jeez it's 3 AM."
"Wait? Fuck no! See ya in 15 min at the corner cafe." He said, then hung up.
What in the world was so important that he couldn't wait until the morning?
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, then splashed some water on my face. Draining the snake I threw on some jeans and a t-shirt and walked down the stairs and out to the driveway.
Five minutes later I was pulling into the parking lot of the local 24 hour cafe. I found my old buddy, Jason, sitting at a booth with a mysterious pill bottle on the table in front of him.
"What's up, buddy? This better be good." I said. The waitress came by and I ordered a milkshake and sat down to hear what was so important.
Jason smiled and poured a bunch of little blue pills onto the table.
"What's that?" I furrowed my brow. He knew I wasn't into party drugs. Those days were over.
He leaned forward and whispered, "These babies are free use pills."
Then sat back in his booth, folded his arms then smirked like I'd know what he was talking about.
I shrugged. "So."
His eyes lit up. "So!" He grabbed one of the pills and shook it in my face. "Do you know what these can do for your sex life?"
"No, why don't you tell me?" I stifled a yawn and accepted the milkshake from the waitress.
"You don't understand the gravitas of these blue little pills, do you?"
I shook my head and turned my attention to my milkshake.
"Dude...watch." He slammed one of the pills back and knocked it back with some soda. "See that woman over there. What's that on her finger."
I squinted. "Look like a ring."
"So, she's married. Right?"
