Before any one of us could say anything a phone chimed repeatedly. Our eyes lingered on each others before I decided to look down to see if it was my phone that was ringing.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7nVb3QMxI
It's Sarah.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLcmDqym8
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiDBpUDSy6
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnshsRtaokT
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm36DI9PSHx
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAfdaBc71
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTO68Ou3lN
"Okay, I'm comi-"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgiRHBi43A
She hung up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9EWmDagyI
"Fuck."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxdbj7qPnS
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX1CYWfhv0
I looked up at Ian with his furrowed eyebrows and look of confusion and worry. I wish that the moment we had wasn't ruined by my drunk friend. I wanted it to last longer because I didn't know if this was a one time thing. If he was going to go back to treating me normal or if this kiss meant something to him. I didn't have time to think about any of that right now because I needed to figure out how to help Jordan.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1fij3z0xA
"It's Jordan. She's blackout drunk and she drove us here. I need to find us a way to get back and make sure she's okay."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtWP6xWcyP
"I can take you guys back."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTdbnVpUTY
"Are you sure?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtDJDxXVyo
"Of course. I don't mind."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFMSx8giEj
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx2tQKnbVc
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnmOjal1kn
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgwOeN60M
We leave the the place we were and sped walk through the hall and down the swirly stairs back to the main floor where most of the people were at. The party was still going on but there were a-lot less people than before when I had arrived. It seemed to have been dying down as it was getting late, but there were still a good amount of people.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nXJKRepLG
Ian and I ran outside to search for Sarah and Jordan. We shortly found them by the mail box in front of the house with Jordan laid out on the grass like a dead body and Sarah bent down moving frantically over her body.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MZa3HFW1H
"Sarah!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkifBo9GJfh
"Oh my gosh Vee! Please help I can't get her to wake up she just passed out. I'm scared I don't know what to do how are we going to get home."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1EzpzecI
"Is she breathing?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUqdIYfgMj
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEWVSf6iqk
"What did she have?!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6tDp617NJ
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowu3y9QYNu
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlvPbJ8kf1
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSQSfRgkLX
"Ian said he can help us."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TreSDEF3S
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMinwF9kar
Ian crouched down and scooped Jordan up easily into his arms bridal style, letting her head rest on him for neck support. He led the way and walked us towards his car. Sarah and I were a few feet behind him but far enough to where he wouldn't be able to hear our conversation.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRftg5RlK
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSbpmKLZVA
"What do you mean?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEOReCrmhF
"When you called, you said Kai."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhn5Gzvq8
"I did? Oh.."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58tq588I4C
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw59n0Ytp8
"I've been drinking tonight so it was probably the Malibu talking."She let out a dry laugh and we continued walking to the car.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce4gYlD9ax
Something was definitely off. I wanted to press her further but I didn't want to create unnecessary drama at the moment. It didn't feel like the right time to ask too many questions about it considering our friend was passed out drunk in Ian's arms.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneqyaCvLUD
I'll ask her about it later...
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5PsDOX2Q4
We reached Ian's car and he gestured for one of us to open his back seat doors. He placed Jordon onto his leather seats delicately.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0qULqjjU9
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSsfDhwPI3
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7t5gGpuO
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmA6TMMN2S
We started driving towards the academy in silence with a couple of snores coming from the back. I leaned my head against the window looking outside to the beautiful houses we drove by on the way back to school.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphRNtxCqc
"Are you okay?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfzWEU1GJi
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtUxu4bO71
I don't wanna make things awkward.. but I can't help it. He doesn't know that he's my first kiss... it's just a kiss though it's not that serious. Don't overthink it Vee.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4WNtzogQZ
" Mmmhm."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDo88Rd1nF
Ugh, shoot me now.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYtuTYM4PB
He didn't say anything else the rest of the ride. It wasn't a long drive but it felt like we were in there forever.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKNPXbNUPM
We reached the school and it was pretty late. No one was around other than a few officers leaving. He parked right up in front of the girls dorms in a handicap spot. We both got out of the car at the same time and he opened the back to wake Sarah and Jordan up.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kBNlLCc8u
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Qp9Jaa95
I helped her out of the car and Ian grabbed Jordan as she was still passed out. She was waking up a little but too drunk to tell what was going on and fell back asleep.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJQ1JyAvyN
We reached her dorm room but realized none of us have the key to her room. We knocked on the door continuously for a couple minutes until we heard a noise from behind the door.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI0MOneM3r
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUfV3M37H8
Her roommate.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllKnr6fauD
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd73IHmMxtI
"Whatever. Come in."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7EJkzSqhR
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinBdyxF5Ew
Ian walked into the dark room over to her side and laid her onto her bed. Sarah and I remained silent at the door waiting for him to return. He walked back quietly making sure not to wake up her roommate again and shut the door behind him.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LRXIoECWd
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlXts7gi64
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEiII7Ap5v
"Do you need a ride home?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq7mrtRQHW
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo89l0MPdXs
I don't really feel like going home right now.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErCKmjHap
"No. I'm good."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww0eLzMwgB
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6nMQyb5Y
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRQjTXDhq1
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnPf8VRw9U
"Well I should get going too then."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYjZAvhoOV
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpbbOvcFs
I fell silent. I couldn't really answer his question because I didn't know the answer myself. I don't know where I wanted to go I just knew I wasn't ready to go back to my home.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFhWnEW6Vo
"I'm not sure."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8yaF5cwve
"Come to my room."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcGqrSO4kL
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXESRaQtv0
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xpCZt4kPl
"...Okay."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Y4B3OJ0f
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg0rCk3c4w
When we arrived he knocked first before opening the door. His room wasn't a mess but there were papers scattered out on his bed and desk. Mostly sketching and doodles and others math equations.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLXZyUUu9
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIUDECtJF1
He frantically collected the papers and put them in a folder and placed them into his backpack. His roommate wasn't there but his side of the room remained untouched almost as if he never slept in his own bed. Ian grabbed a shirt from his drawer under his bed and sweatpants and went to the bathroom for a brief moment and came out holding his clothing from the party and threw them into his hamper.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQAlffdwWQ
After cleaning the papers up Ian gestured for me to sit on his bed next to him. I hopped onto his bed and we sat next to each other leaning onto the wall behind us. We began chatting about random things. Keeping each other company talking about nothing and everything. Our meaningless conversation ranged from art to science to food.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdNscmTWND
He was an interesting person. I couldn't read him. I didn't know what he was thinking when he invited me over, or when he kissed me, or that day in the rain. Some things he did left me questioning my judgment on wealthy people. Of course I haven't met a lot of them but the handful I have met have been nothing but assholes. He made me feel like maybe there were genuine people still left in the world.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFXwx5TKtE
Pretty cheesy, I know.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXilpjAz10
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSg6cMjgWW
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7St4CmeQ2W
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1nwBgM6II
"Vee?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8AqAudGH
"Yeah?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUpI0MNA77
"Are you really okay?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KeGekzyfv
"What do you mean?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xX7YyFtse
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI5XEBYzBH
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQMQi6CNKC
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbIK78yuwH
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1253Z834mu
"I just don't like people coming to my house. I know you've taken me before but, I'm not ready to go back."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUOVnPBIJ
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ORVdd39uC
He smiled at me again.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNgvrLsYEy
His smile. He's always smiling.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHI6PMxLV
"Why are you always so happy?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1amBsLBHE
"What?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjocFawVx4
"I mean you're always smiling."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gcKD3umlG
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxl8imaA7m
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg0h8Uwbmm
I don't know if he heard me but he didn't say anything. We both just sat there until he moved under the sheets. He laid under the covers and opened a spot for me to lay next to him. I tilted my head slightly confused. He patted the empty spot next to him and looked up at me.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwLapRKajT
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEKrXp0x9k
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aU9kbhtcy
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc81kZ845nt
I laid next to him with my back on the wall and our faces towards each other. My dress was riding up my thigh because of how short it was. I felt self conscious thinking of every detail of my face was inches away from his and he could see every imperfection.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X3kWGhPdg
We stared at each other for Im not sure how long. He looked so happy. He always looked so happy. We both laid in our comfortable silence hypnotized by each others eyes.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbwyPNTBuv
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WmzlxVu1z
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1J4vV73ZL
A while?
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAazRW7175p
"Oh."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamLgwxwlBy
Suddenly I felt very awkward and uncomfortable and began shuffling under the sheets. He looked a bit worried and by my face I guess he could see I was a bit uncomfortable.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdeOfOYleW
"Do you regret it?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSIY9BXpc
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIVPtB8MDc
"Do you want me to get up?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UOu9Tnrbq
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61PatW7tdL
"Take it off."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJrT7wD3Pr
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOq5Kxs4Tg
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2NDRtwqT
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYhSgtXlR
I pulled down a strap of my dress before looking his direction to see if he was looking. He covered his eyes with his hands and smiled which made me laugh a little. It didn't make sense to cover his eyes when I'd be laying in his bed naked in the end. I thought it was cute that he tried anyway.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcAjNj5ix9
I slipped out of my dress and threw it onto the floor and slid back under the sheets wrapping my body with the blankets so nothing was showing. I had nothing but my bra and non sexy underwear hoping he wouldn't see them.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsE4ojJ5oR
"You can open your eyes now."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQTaw9NJV
He uncovered his eyes and looked at my face then my exposed shoulders. I felt exposed and vulnerable but no longer uncomfortable. He couldn't see any parts of my body but my skin barely touched his clothes under the blanket.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6D7X4D3ig
"Are you comfortable?"
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5649fBjfL
I nodded.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSs3gWM8th
"I feel very exposed."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mn586jgx
He sat up and slid his shirt off of his body and threw it on the ground next to my dress. He came back under the covers with me covering his body too.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNVNQAKe3
"There. Now you're not the only one."
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpIenGAtkB
I laughed. This was so dumb. All this could've been avoided if I just wore one of his shirts. There was no going back now. This is the first time i've ever been this close to a half naked boy in my 17 years of living. I didn't want to ruin it.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnacvIzNY
We continued talking for hours. I didn't know what time it was because our phones weren't near us. Oddly enough, although we were both practically naked, he didn't make any advances. We just talked. He made me feel comfortable and the more we laid and talked the less nervous and awkward I felt. I almost forgot that I was completely exposed.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSr8h8Of9
My eyes were getting heavy and it felt like it was the next morning but it was still dark outside. He was talking to me about his pets growing up and I was just laying there studying his face while listening attentively. His voice was like melatonin and was putting me to sleep gradually.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdtDhrGfs
I don't know what we left off talking about but I know before I drifted off into a deep sleep coma, I felt warm hands wrap around my bare skin.
205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECEohUc6ol
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
