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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPfKbQ4XhS
It's Sarah.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD6tdpF6YU
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4oCWpR2aB
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTKsOQMuT7
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6sjj3sOnr
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBBXA1taes
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGipuCpOdpA
"Okay, I'm comi-"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb52VYfv3w
She hung up.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZROn9TGT
"Fuck."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOFQV6hal8
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUc8TxC1oL
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc94dwKhaXG
"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."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDWc9f8fgC
"I can take you guys back."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpESl0ld6lj
"Are you sure?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79CXwTvVJl
"Of course. I don't mind."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iIjLw1cM
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LtWemW2HO
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JbAjI1OtO
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cj7Ciwpgu
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG9oCvKywq
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtdlx2rH3U
"Sarah!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbArXQQa31
"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."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAknkBuriwc
"Is she breathing?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMaSULjD0
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwob7BbG4fe
"What did she have?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqGP7k8ME
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM9eNtBh1A
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAf7dckgou
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9OxKEhZS
"Ian said he can help us."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyHYr40m3D
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG9uQp9Rw9
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaKdnc66NP
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Lpt92W7k
"What do you mean?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetR7iOTOua
"When you called, you said Kai."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NsufpfZ6T
"I did? Oh.."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6P93m3oTp
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUgXuSKNBt
"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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHy5nzbo8Z
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpJvclNxTg
I'll ask her about it later...
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN4nrJ675s
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlKyoxwx97
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEmeV3QpA6
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMHFXRQztd
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc5lSAWEgM
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeZlwfyIyS
"Are you okay?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthRfBUjgQI
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr1eqiwBrF
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ue6ELfeJy
" Mmmhm."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3IMVeXyvQ
Ugh, shoot me now.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOchVARdBZ9
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkIf6YWc9
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtOGo1O766
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIPExGu6EG
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTwxfkqTuY
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW94zshPpB
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLr9f0EDWc
Her roommate.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonlYxCavVk
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOBaNyus4j
"Whatever. Come in."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIc39wi4ry
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pf8Z6Is9r
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHky9Eh3AT
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9eocCyAby
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzgTpKL66W
"Do you need a ride home?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtOeigFMTX
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRZiDSLUeD
I don't really feel like going home right now.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUpEJYHX4W
"No. I'm good."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSbmMglhcF
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr22RX4iGUl
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP30L4u5yu
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn71Gp9uiXF
"Well I should get going too then."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUjhugSdRJ
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq2zoW9LUM
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KasT3PGLK
"I'm not sure."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbcshD3d6x
"Come to my room."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3dFZYwIg8
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoBRnSlWta
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgWQizhOx2
"...Okay."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl43PZVYr5S
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe56GzgeDgC
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysg4FavRhh
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MYdB4D3IS
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDv4T3wLS
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEh08BWiC7
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHzrPmA12s
Pretty cheesy, I know.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWOw9P5Soz
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TZ75LkZuR
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5KcvMyh8
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnny3kA29ZW
"Vee?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24nbSjT02l
"Yeah?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWav54YZWC2
"Are you really okay?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhIV0mDq6M
"What do you mean?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ybqwlnMc1
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejs2a3nLeB
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9pWhFYa4L
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx0iFhz6l1
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIqJlZBvha
"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."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HA89ychL8
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHYmThBtZd
He smiled at me again.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM9U34gepk
His smile. He's always smiling.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQuV692BNG
"Why are you always so happy?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvrYYI3AKo
"What?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YZ2oCmukM
"I mean you're always smiling."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsNqiW3N1f
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3RVeOuqJd
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIpoEPybat
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7AlRtryou
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Qtdm0Ah2
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLpnCRR7O
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uEyrMK6qD
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiBXgEPTpl
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB7qDlRoAE
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffA4kVgNoI
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ys9zlr6t
A while?
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRjSlYOH4w
"Oh."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZsqkalCsq
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnAF9dY2sJ
"Do you regret it?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxBKDIYEmP
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YwHPnTDGt
"Do you want me to get up?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSmXRArtfl
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHPLCjuHju
"Take it off."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vwZUuDqcU
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRIJWx1hOT
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC313xnsSF
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC0UQDMEsb
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7RxSo2GQ
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSZbmQxhlh
"You can open your eyes now."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsFOTH1HuY
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVKxHhaHZ
"Are you comfortable?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLVEdOwBLS
I nodded.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU5Nd2PNU9
"I feel very exposed."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVFYaWNPer
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JMcbrCoEQ
"There. Now you're not the only one."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOmQEF1DXa
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbgoGcu6uK
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PpDkgJeRA
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzLLnc7dCi
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOvNqoEDVt
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
