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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UjmEHhqrU
It's Sarah.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCG7G93Gk9
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeo6gluLFZ
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctqJCbZ1aF
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSj7zh54m
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAN9y1JYez
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3zoHaEJwC
"Okay, I'm comi-"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyNmCE30Oo
She hung up.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw4zo8K90T
"Fuck."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ8ReZJ0No
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzObtKzLeD
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwoH9pOdAY
"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."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvdfZAEqxk
"I can take you guys back."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsOy1JNHH7
"Are you sure?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FRM3R2Xm4
"Of course. I don't mind."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mQ3nLpqgw
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNJn61kT9k
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf4VpXxsrd
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp2Gvrrrsr
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iZw2yqk2p
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64RRHIdmce
"Sarah!"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVrKgMmYcv
"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."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcVFgDlJko
"Is she breathing?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2v7RraA92
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b0pZJksCw
"What did she have?!"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujfAbJfrnz
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmWLQBPTWd
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWvLeFmOJX
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhHvBG6H8t
"Ian said he can help us."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYowEcAJSi
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27KmOksWq2
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FNiKeFfAe
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ8jL5Gke6
"What do you mean?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghMQ3xhH3T
"When you called, you said Kai."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P6gln8pmw
"I did? Oh.."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJPMeDCLTI
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimxT5KEaHV
"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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcFuSGSSpm
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDfpcbKmoa
I'll ask her about it later...
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvm7xxhuw2
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrVx1nvQ1S
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAxaSyKcGo
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOuu1PBWPO
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MToWNEMrM
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU7h4kV4Bf
"Are you okay?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6tstxd2E
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ8Uy3wl4D
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEpTktpdDw
" Mmmhm."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclF2wwYtY
Ugh, shoot me now.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1OMPd5PTx
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnSenPc1a3
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJUNJBy7S
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloOyWhs29d
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV099JcLwp
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqL2GcSqNO
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5pl4gb2VM
Her roommate.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhxAQrWzMH
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qb7QQqEkr
"Whatever. Come in."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ogkSUnKfy
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoE8R6bA6f
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQfmMke3jt
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzWBU2tfQH
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCoxKNfNuh
"Do you need a ride home?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qYXo83jfE
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTe9wabXWk
I don't really feel like going home right now.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2KS0iNf4B
"No. I'm good."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2F51S5kRE
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjshGMrF1om
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBEoJ8zfm6
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLY2tgnwae
"Well I should get going too then."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUMlZF2tzW
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0J7klZiAL
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pfefp2NFP
"I'm not sure."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU9YvCMNYq
"Come to my room."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmBcalTj8a
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBXB9wZhGV
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa7qhRZ0Vi
"...Okay."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHucQz2Vgak
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgMMBGZbgz
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIqRzPjwnL
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeBB79Bvx3
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9jQHCINa
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FTKV2Q53o
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLgbpPH3v
Pretty cheesy, I know.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpqeFIbKRF
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGh11hdedf
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBU2siABIp
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjomLtde1D
"Vee?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFAAw6RIVg
"Yeah?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtohB5lidz9
"Are you really okay?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6gqdnqEWZ
"What do you mean?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zctVS9AB
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLpHHEm8B
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlQzRb92M0
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ccnhKQI6
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejhOkxPZM0
"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."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mOnLiLtSz
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaUdxUOpEp
He smiled at me again.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH96iY9EBA
His smile. He's always smiling.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLpL0rhY8P
"Why are you always so happy?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3dDZenQsm
"What?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbc4zzbK2Q
"I mean you're always smiling."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3eC1GNhmJ
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEWt6AvaCo
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudOZtd0LRZ
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ofknuigqj
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6X11tGnTA
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6muJaWXfa
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB7GnByL07
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotgTZOeVkj
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u8N6Zgnef
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb830pbVhMn
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYmVxxioNi
A while?
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaIYEwcdkr
"Oh."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rSpUCB5yD
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB5zTE928B
"Do you regret it?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5BH3eNEFN
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ZmVi5Sep
"Do you want me to get up?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12sifgU9mE
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrUwqXuewR
"Take it off."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXxhK92vPG
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp9qgJEK73
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HvRuXJCNy
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPiLVA158
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ygf3vCnjv
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGF1Ezj6LI
"You can open your eyes now."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKZmVnFBKo
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL3mUjZNOF
"Are you comfortable?"
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbIsre5oNO
I nodded.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2jtZN5F2i
"I feel very exposed."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJxZPrrOj
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VsxUJ8v9f
"There. Now you're not the only one."
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfhg6X2GPU
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwFRIoiaay
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSzAC8IUL5
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNWjdYKTJ4
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.
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvmPs2gTDT
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
