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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvv3gqnCt9
It's Sarah.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWHnScmDjF
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g6ODskA4d
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKC0ZbknmA
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5BkaH6GHb
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBKtQXmbHJ
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqCBFlIjaP
"Okay, I'm comi-"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl1tx5oJiq
She hung up.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLoRA0Y97p
"Fuck."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7PdvPMp3L
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGsbKJJxYN
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWucwQFNyR
"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."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qi2Rdg4Jy
"I can take you guys back."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRFAazU7cc
"Are you sure?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4pUPYk2y1
"Of course. I don't mind."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWvwmq8abQ
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwgfbRcAxi
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOSa4niejy
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXp19EKZC
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLI0dSvxLZ
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFeuGCawbj
"Sarah!"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlrDrqbrcA
"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."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Rm60sT3n
"Is she breathing?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHfgoTGFh5
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyYdePMg9d
"What did she have?!"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1jPkNkjCj
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8bmDo7DHk
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEeezIx4tV
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpxEGtvNZ
"Ian said he can help us."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06YD8VIiQA
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnOzRHfGsc
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09y2SxnA8L
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX97wwMk0o
"What do you mean?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqz3ZGxsRD
"When you called, you said Kai."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd7F5IPDWy
"I did? Oh.."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2sUpC2vZ
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUb67UW5BN
"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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLVSjWlsmM
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTohDx8Bw
I'll ask her about it later...
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81cpCMgkV
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoDvKrk4sT
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdy4VpYAx
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXVvAaAdVK
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjboRwBTl2m
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulhmWbYvDJ
"Are you okay?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKIu3dkkiF
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1YDeqNPOE
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuLuarYm9U
" Mmmhm."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrPOfyXsp
Ugh, shoot me now.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UIcDu22A4
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2oCPKdtSb
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqooiJJT1Y
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzooIT8GKM
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DMsEPi64c
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcfxlBwd6
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS99Xb2laiC
Her roommate.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzU9n9zLDe
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn8c8gTe3k
"Whatever. Come in."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLR03GdXe0
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi69f4qwyp
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAx9fyKOXJ
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ObtOeCCbp
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvUOhSKtaY
"Do you need a ride home?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikg5VvEFmf
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCnnZNuEdV
I don't really feel like going home right now.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOukx5VMNj
"No. I'm good."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGI5HlTMUW
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnG85rj1bJ
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XJx0XrNKS
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KrsObXmtG
"Well I should get going too then."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtxCsrZt5z
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRXo8ff0fY
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngA6Ym1wJH
"I'm not sure."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZB63sKtFd
"Come to my room."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUcwGRcODt
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIoaKrytoX
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgphPXuSfk4
"...Okay."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxMKchnCbk
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbxiJEUXUq
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNKmnt7s2j
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaegGKONFX
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhs9CYvV9J
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlGZamFFeo
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5JbS1rJvH
Pretty cheesy, I know.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4hiBqI3Tb
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY50DsK4ii1
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jEZHQXH1j
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWelz1zMEH
"Vee?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF7Na7cviJ
"Yeah?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed6JEWwqox
"Are you really okay?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl1oLtvkVl
"What do you mean?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcPMko1ai2
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GyVvs1hMw
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcWCgYzz30
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanAFhHqBwx
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKFyANZF2R
"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."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMjuCkF8b
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535McWahvn
He smiled at me again.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xMI5BRUlS
His smile. He's always smiling.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AouccbEQ4
"Why are you always so happy?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE7MgAIfbX
"What?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSC6AybSQ
"I mean you're always smiling."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUwtbfv25
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtgD6P0sqC
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoWsm5lHti
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fpBxaiAdc
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl47ga8DPk
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSPr8q95Wx
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf51B9anDb
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDEbAr1b5L
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgZLF0n2L3
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoxj8PfgES
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqiTdFw4NH
A while?
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ItKkkAhAq
"Oh."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jIWNpN5ji
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD9Uq3BHNd
"Do you regret it?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ZO6aJlBj
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbm3uGtPop
"Do you want me to get up?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtjtOVK66b
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOixFWmJyT
"Take it off."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPvZsSECMK
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVJdDPO01z
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCtvxJ87Rq
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVZZv6PIbY
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrduOsiBJWR
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESZr8p3cR4
"You can open your eyes now."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mI3KiF90l
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEsLQHrOJV
"Are you comfortable?"
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWvAsbEHmO
I nodded.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8VLAEsH4b
"I feel very exposed."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe3gdhPnex
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsthDgTicF
"There. Now you're not the only one."
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKILcwL3W2
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K9WhuMqnG
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRdNG0ro2p
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZwyujIwlT
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.
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfynYM8Pjv
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
