<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Long story short I hope...anyway I have known this girl for about 8 years and have been hanging out with her and her friends a lot for the past four years. We all get along very well, and always have a great time together. She just moved back home and I see her every weekend. She brings a friend around one weekend and we end up getting pretty drunk. I end up talking to the friend for awhile and was in the process of kissing her and she says "NAME said that I couldn't hookup with you". I kind of stop, she walks away and I end up getting more drunk and having a good night. Next day rolls around and I remember the conversation and start thinking about it. We hangout almost every weekend as a group in someway or another and start thinking about it more. She cute, funny and very smart. Last weekend comes around and we meet them at the bar and her friend is with her again. The friend and I start dancing and having a great time. We did kiss but then once again stops and says "NAME said the I couldn't hookup with you". I think I'm ready to ask my friend out on a date but I don't want to do a drunk talk. Do you have any fun idea's to ask her out on a date? Her and I get along great and want it to classy, but not over the top. Thanks reddit.
