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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElkkqjP7du
It's Sarah.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4IhWYJMV
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vLr28Kxrp
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquYlF4gfN5
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQRhivamVv
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluJG3kc6k
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPUDXyFt2d
"Okay, I'm comi-"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW0dWVQpZX
She hung up.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzrEdZucBq
"Fuck."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJKDzq5crO
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58FLjrb5Fk
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDslXlS06t
"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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeX0k8AG1G
"I can take you guys back."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RJJ6hWDZR
"Are you sure?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeashK2NXW
"Of course. I don't mind."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pSSpFBoB
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5aaHs5sJu
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVlprWcNDJ
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8QacXuFQ8
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk0fR9F6Ay
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrSIrLShTW
"Sarah!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aRkEacwj2
"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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FedwbykTM
"Is she breathing?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMybqSuKdhk
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ce6yfxdbe
"What did she have?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BulCSl7Y2
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnhzb1gXmp
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqMSpx0dbE
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0pDdD56Vu
"Ian said he can help us."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LK3O6r9Re
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ1ILOzf2n
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYjxB1F7g8
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmfW78nytM
"What do you mean?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXQec9CbRr
"When you called, you said Kai."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFGSMQB49M
"I did? Oh.."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RFUF13G3E
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhPSynBbGe
"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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm126XlKnK
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIRZKb7FRK
I'll ask her about it later...
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp1yuYu5mF
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhnFgTfqS
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQzplxdY5d
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSULgzK1JZj
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTkgfRhzjT
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrWOsLJjYF
"Are you okay?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7KskPccD1
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye31zxJXpm
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqAfLD3a4l
" Mmmhm."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFXlbqM9Bg
Ugh, shoot me now.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0JJKbPe4u
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwP4WozCjk
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqphNMCCy4w
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC4QocW1lU
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdZNKeR5iC
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd5jHCs0wk
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzf2gZPI3w
Her roommate.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC2z1KHgvn
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCW8dluDXH
"Whatever. Come in."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpwbWddSP1
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kMg0plhZk
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt4FPM4p1e
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekOREnzOa
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ3sKD6D2Q
"Do you need a ride home?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBN3cKXlY4
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk86eJkDYP
I don't really feel like going home right now.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cvMJA5BN8
"No. I'm good."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdmxAhEWB
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCeH47ZT1A
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcCmY7ZSP6
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3rCxp35lH
"Well I should get going too then."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxO6RXjja3
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOb57u7bL
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIfz1sny4O
"I'm not sure."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSdyHotFEr
"Come to my room."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y2YvmDbDq
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMh26Rlv7o
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSn4e3CLNf
"...Okay."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Vulo4FAt
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeGMdeHqKV
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqYI11DP2
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7YCVLMEa
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGAwjrScxj
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ556oJ2X8Ha
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi4r8Eblzn
Pretty cheesy, I know.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStZ2eU3DKi
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpAmtL650A
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1DHQ3I03D
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VIbnnBmdZ
"Vee?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMQ6GCSpQ
"Yeah?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wvSy2UV52
"Are you really okay?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU5W2F5UDo
"What do you mean?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwmyopi3rN
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIH3jNhAUQ
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx5gmSJHkp
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHosGZezJV2
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94kZBQjXC3
"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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8ZWeh92yX
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD0iWde1Ra
He smiled at me again.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyBvlxJ4z
His smile. He's always smiling.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9MAh8M0lL
"Why are you always so happy?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t7SOOfeps
"What?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05QgpgMJCr
"I mean you're always smiling."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPvXYEeFsd
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOZCTxM7HG
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAazsxUxjv
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks4W8ruEy7
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8fDkMxJiK
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mQFJhNG2k
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFL6sU19WL
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyE0I1j89Q
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNSihAERPF
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKIHXdDzHC
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdg8fkErzE
A while?
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1BDLAL8Y
"Oh."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzThKCCvzbr
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwUdhg8sxm
"Do you regret it?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBMbzaLCKu
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlPE5e7KAz
"Do you want me to get up?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1DAMsEpwt
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQMxtWwy4E
"Take it off."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2thB6dT2Vf
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk0MNfqg9o
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEzrQgCQW
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapx0qysfiO
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdMGxZ7yRu
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCH2V3iJeg
"You can open your eyes now."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZdXAj2gYS
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ9JiQrw6W
"Are you comfortable?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrEiH7xfVT
I nodded.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1TivZEolR
"I feel very exposed."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiYUYK2UsU
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgDnA7pSPq
"There. Now you're not the only one."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWLNKBI6lv
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0HHfHWevn
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvF6e7VyED
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyfbnmGo4d
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7pYBxUvcN
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
