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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUegQq4a24
It's Sarah.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkphtCzN90z
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxOwdfA6Tc
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef0sU7AZC4
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4pnVk2Onv
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvaIV8b29p
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdmunLBbdD
"Okay, I'm comi-"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVYhQyaBX
She hung up.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxT3WIcNLP
"Fuck."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo1kifZIng
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZg8Be96KA
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXirGultAIw
"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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKMwXTWTm
"I can take you guys back."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr2FVrQJ0G
"Are you sure?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0NSKCJ5Y
"Of course. I don't mind."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm3i8dQjRc
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwzCnbltj5
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BjMXctg9N
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSoJ4nP1Pe
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGOPQYz9Jx
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a845XkUaf
"Sarah!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh9nLT9ZWv
"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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DndLuKjbI
"Is she breathing?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ooq2LFzxJ
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m1kwS68uB
"What did she have?!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDT8VFzL1i
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoFbeXRq7m
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWMdVscRVt
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qGJLaCJa
"Ian said he can help us."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVnSjyhrOt
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXIzNIiAL2
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyzY9G8aGs
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQoATmJGiJ
"What do you mean?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5axPlMTLbQ
"When you called, you said Kai."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpDVtdDSxi
"I did? Oh.."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnuFBOPAM7
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8MTeGL9y
"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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP3GDoWY2j
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGH1Okt2Xn
I'll ask her about it later...
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMi7UTbiQV
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjeyKdaoYh
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rm85OHR6x
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVIwyFxSA1
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfBgORc1u
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWYvpwQGPj
"Are you okay?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtjrATWZBr
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmyQJTKgO5
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t7byqNZtP
" Mmmhm."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkoTeJrPL
Ugh, shoot me now.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjn817DwB5
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDWVsmAAwu
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepfwb1SKOL
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafDYQWkPV9
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZHRzuZh32
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEOHdn1yUO
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4Nk9qY6j
Her roommate.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthgNaxn5np
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjlxONbyWE
"Whatever. Come in."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBoo42wFwe
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J1WSVMVuy
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGADoXKGe5
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ774pyXLRAG
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrke5vbkcW
"Do you need a ride home?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gQiiKiGWH
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4oxILlWO1
I don't really feel like going home right now.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKyWNBlgqp
"No. I'm good."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeBYL62Gw1
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu4VayC4Fw
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMVb9D0oyc
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbp7fob0dC
"Well I should get going too then."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiAQBybJkI
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGWsXgodVs
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsotIGzkBHY
"I'm not sure."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdc5qXJIti
"Come to my room."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ147EJ1m08u
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ78CzWhX8
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTObVBeZgtV
"...Okay."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEApnUiwoG
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOqJHd0v8j
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2PD877li
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXox20Pjor1
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxjKH3qpQk
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeZEMTmkOM
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZfWpdz6hy
Pretty cheesy, I know.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7nkTd2OeM
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMGR52yujl
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixtNyM6BgS
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6JK3wrfHn
"Vee?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfQf03LTqP
"Yeah?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTDTIth8cq
"Are you really okay?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOeZZHfjjd
"What do you mean?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHgsU5NDMZ
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtPfDZdq2G
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzcmVoqrFh
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq38dc1jwg
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwZFr9kgqG
"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."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtumc6lzvT
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpIR1lLpGt
He smiled at me again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzBlg41CPQ
His smile. He's always smiling.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0LtQVjFWB
"Why are you always so happy?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIqSiuU5U
"What?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG6KdCyChI
"I mean you're always smiling."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j6806pC6S
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2OZadf3rZ
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZtZsbMooZ
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnku8mEb3va
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirpjqKtvn
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mfURuMvdN
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATdvO1IJkA
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6VBPb9fH
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdISU32BUKt
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5r7cnLlf3
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7H7JQC75i
A while?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIeL3ENc25
"Oh."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwLk9cnDwK
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKDqOS9LLK
"Do you regret it?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWchr1vqidD
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczHMugfYYX
"Do you want me to get up?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7adrACMpP
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXOJICjLk7
"Take it off."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqQFz2srKu
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOKOfNE3Z4
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJmxtaJEB4
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpkXpqud8
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBld6rIrNB
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pW9XtM1Wu
"You can open your eyes now."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ISSTVgus
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUSYzw7k0
"Are you comfortable?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQKJyfGqTg
I nodded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7CqRYNsS4
"I feel very exposed."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWxhcXyjH8
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKKsfY10vw
"There. Now you're not the only one."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqkqGbaGdB
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpj2eD7fEs
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6SUMjE7FF
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAChrWjk26
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.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZpI5gVvfZ
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
