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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4awJ1i3P09
It's Sarah.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oBFrAMOHy
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHN1aETnz
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc5WN1e7Ws
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztot576hsU
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBTQG0WpDn
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xsz0ekH3N
"Okay, I'm comi-"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBad0WG2SXQ
She hung up.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ei7Il8wkI
"Fuck."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD8kHbA9SJ
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtedBVxpn2Q
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPaRlc6Mye
"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."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI2D35UChH
"I can take you guys back."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPC7SliRFG
"Are you sure?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437cp366Jn
"Of course. I don't mind."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSrJ58tuxX
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo5uVyaohc
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWrTw4kuE
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9mTZwBDZ
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyK0SKKfI3
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0d1MQmww3
"Sarah!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxGJvtZXgn
"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."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUQPqXCuq3
"Is she breathing?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnESeVft9IY
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Mii3FAxE
"What did she have?!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgJCA1Tu2
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4lBnixcNC
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVNe7TvNY
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOXBlgghrk
"Ian said he can help us."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0QE2FEHsK
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMIygQIrHI
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZj2W1ae3
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCi0H03T3v
"What do you mean?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpbWlSL5Dw
"When you called, you said Kai."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73sZoc52oM
"I did? Oh.."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMuJUaWkM3
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHBbANH9QM
"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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ75isXULWn
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q256WMxlO
I'll ask her about it later...
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z44LIOJOa
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35nWvHqNhI
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3z3GDW6bJ
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQWW7lA8wg
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2Maasgmea
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6nBlsP3TX
"Are you okay?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUDIjO9ODa
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMzFDOBQE7
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NJnFgblSH
" Mmmhm."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRcrjeDVlo
Ugh, shoot me now.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhquNdBzhuz
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ756TVs7It0
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOXx70TfkT
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIicZFZVU9B
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDGQPW8TbZ
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLTyA7W9jm
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1V5orh4DY
Her roommate.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MRZhkKoiZ
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADGAZEjqU3
"Whatever. Come in."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy1mtRTRQH
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu70ZJ4fbP
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbHenmfCN
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpErnu7O5Ox
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq70AJ5fg3
"Do you need a ride home?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblgrkcguQt
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5UrVlK4xu
I don't really feel like going home right now.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzXYvYPcV
"No. I'm good."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHag8oC5DMt
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcByqXwye5
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbU8noaLLy
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW5QRr1CUt
"Well I should get going too then."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH4aFs07fQ
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOBIZWvt1
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkkwr6pDT
"I'm not sure."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WjBEgQEoe
"Come to my room."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL3alyrEWc
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZS2qWW6Gw
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL76pj1E4e
"...Okay."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcuauh6rLA
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDdhSo3Z9S
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kIVn1kkLs
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGct5F9H3K
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflub0H07UH
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3BHw94VzP
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMsbCvAwT
Pretty cheesy, I know.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQuCBRMzLn
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbno3tUcoLr
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUPgYz5qtm
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h7AoOdg7d
"Vee?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB3cI0gy4b
"Yeah?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdLvXR284e
"Are you really okay?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbvdjuNmRX
"What do you mean?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVtLyfUBgK
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKITlajWE3
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopamjaL8I
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnJp35S3z6
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXyQoq7Eik
"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."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNzoEz3cYJ
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOAzKbYt6D
He smiled at me again.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuXnHXVctK
His smile. He's always smiling.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVc8lyHem
"Why are you always so happy?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VcNg91Yfr
"What?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmDtgHDOQ
"I mean you're always smiling."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DU7AYAB0l
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PmcsgyEZM
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejpPvz7S15
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ScDA4hxJ7
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jwjeGN6V
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH9cqQ3VzG
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNimhemeHI
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV57qk4b2Vr
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqxbXpRsFi
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXMoFWcSh8
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgmVuQX4aN
A while?
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0PgtXoJqi
"Oh."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vY1qg7ilu
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyict35tKln
"Do you regret it?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UBDo7wEcc
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3OGGIFTj
"Do you want me to get up?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0L9r1jj76
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70BbnhcNOF
"Take it off."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS279QVEw3
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJgV8eY6i
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLrtYJggiM
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvmGeQnV1C
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3ArWYQcO
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxzGrbsA8m
"You can open your eyes now."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfdVl8oODa
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid0eVB3aYh
"Are you comfortable?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugBJsjJ6e
I nodded.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqSQwjXn1I
"I feel very exposed."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6chP1uzpSg
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRuNo6ODgQ
"There. Now you're not the only one."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzUf6AARYf
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GVqHgWdEK
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz5FnYE0WB
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhWRNnHok2
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJBkLxO6hP
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
