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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYhEDot9IZ
It's Sarah.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cebV4nuzD
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNarDGUMrZ
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUkvTIvSFx
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWB0dZnjdb
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxbQgKEMxC
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTbwtGV0JB
"Okay, I'm comi-"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqvX794CFi
She hung up.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4YLqix9Hi
"Fuck."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoewThVvqGP
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPTOunMPwh
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GZuLbGDrX
"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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAYqBedFM
"I can take you guys back."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN7nlh8tao
"Are you sure?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JM2yOneo
"Of course. I don't mind."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CPiLsYSIj
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGrN5necp
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUFtNiuAGI
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOOrfHnfNA
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgLiQ4IqSH
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph5aEnq3N1
"Sarah!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjImEKjBgL
"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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV821PWohKN
"Is she breathing?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90TbDhlVLv
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBgq7RmJ8v
"What did she have?!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZpMALOmib
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXT9yq1qKE
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOF91l2le
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jovm81N79
"Ian said he can help us."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JOtm7qSJ2
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRgdZflVa5
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDVLbyKEO
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQop8ppqQ65
"What do you mean?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk98ZTwBJG
"When you called, you said Kai."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoM4r8mcL
"I did? Oh.."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0RmpKbh8k
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjmliF1KC
"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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfhc2OCYWg
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bDmyboCqV
I'll ask her about it later...
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4gMiBYoqP
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0CH9RG8uP
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHllbXwqeog
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkhszDgAEO
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2AwGnk3yw
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UeZzces0J
"Are you okay?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ba38opRm
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF5fMBopYm
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BzE5IlXS
" Mmmhm."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ykdzAggU
Ugh, shoot me now.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7VcIjOpp9
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutFlRjQurY
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwyb55zID4
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRW5NmxIGU
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZfRPjBkqV
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2WAARrHl4
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kNoq76FNO
Her roommate.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mU48XUlzz
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0she9YjA
"Whatever. Come in."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbC0sOPZ8C
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMfoM7XfM
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dcg0ZllN
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNRbpaAiYJ
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYoyOsDGOY
"Do you need a ride home?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJbpgBTZYP
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJ5PZN4m3
I don't really feel like going home right now.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M5fMy7y2e
"No. I'm good."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HdBZDxw3X
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjkao59qU5
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhis2de8YFQ
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGdxzaljYJ
"Well I should get going too then."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiiszdLXPr
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3w5WbiyCp
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpov8pbJLtP
"I'm not sure."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELuNt7NyR
"Come to my room."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fmCqAIgJ7
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFK3v42W26
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIUV3oyZ90
"...Okay."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLciuAoLCo
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi918050Vq
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVdXylviWf
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGthRD0tS3
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkwD0ZH9To
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmg36mBIv
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1Fq1gpGU
Pretty cheesy, I know.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfERehWk7I
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLYRtkoRHf
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVmyoLhXhC
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWzvlilToW
"Vee?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEUtsR7lLB
"Yeah?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ137mbWa2lj
"Are you really okay?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V2qtrCUM6
"What do you mean?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0oFOG3qj1
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFVrv38WDJ
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRngmgXk4V
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGQ0UNXS3S
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapsVlQDuK
"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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHypb6IhOp
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QjRdAYiPn
He smiled at me again.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnEwwGCTMy
His smile. He's always smiling.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0si1xrfIBJ
"Why are you always so happy?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0TShwsJmr
"What?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrYa29oES8
"I mean you're always smiling."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyFQvPpe1G
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCzC7Xu79n
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko6UCL4akS
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4JwaKuxqX
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAwxWYVONd
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUUT2LTSqd
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfjJxLA59a
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjrk3MDPuV
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX7Yeupi15
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvszlQDhudh
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOFArLqQ05
A while?
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU1aeBWYkM
"Oh."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeetxBol5e
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcxh3VA2wk
"Do you regret it?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1k1wvyA0q
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpLUWGA260
"Do you want me to get up?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPBXfEEdgV
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1q9MRhtE
"Take it off."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGSkz4GnAm
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5O3s8zud
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcek7GXo13a
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrCBecbE8M
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmbFAUvnpc
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1aCU9dov
"You can open your eyes now."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSKhjOJXud
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjhPkS5t8z
"Are you comfortable?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3FjLPs8L8
I nodded.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spOrZOCuI
"I feel very exposed."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZFStXwzso
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutOWgoGj8m
"There. Now you're not the only one."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXQmM18Xxe
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEQjpUYV3h
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9fur9PrKa
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWcxcz0A19
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tjIgKQmDz
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
