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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Vz8hPv9X
It's Sarah.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmO24hOx2s
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3upS50jyC4
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds6nc4G7aD
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOTtjkU6kg
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7HfGuzxs
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgw8mvFkKo
"Okay, I'm comi-"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C4nVFX6zE
She hung up.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawtYwEczsv
"Fuck."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0jKoxzT6M
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjHnEIvK4N
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkzpZUkolJ
"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."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2ssTKS3E
"I can take you guys back."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGaImrAmO
"Are you sure?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2s6fXgcMH
"Of course. I don't mind."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh431P2y9XY
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7YKFJilE9
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pkwCosZrR
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gKEskWcag
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lIHdtDSyP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94Ju9mn2X
"Sarah!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhWgqt2Dw
"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."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO4gcNMLNm
"Is she breathing?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjbfw9xRP
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8AqvmFMtS
"What did she have?!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTvbmTR5Gp
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TRzGH8IoJ
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lj41vgmHQ
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OlW7q8uEx
"Ian said he can help us."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWwWoBScpN
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdo01RyjEl
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtcPDXJpEY
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfqz3AkbJ8
"What do you mean?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFq74b69wT
"When you called, you said Kai."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTeppeng1e
"I did? Oh.."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZKsGjwJpQ
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmy4wL54ZF
"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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQV4P5dFc
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FJdwG7pdK
I'll ask her about it later...
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSckHSti3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74bCYewJha
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVP9mzyfx
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYOHuBaGZ
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBtQ3mUky
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JBvl5Xkf
"Are you okay?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlO38TyJDh
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVynnCDNfYK
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zoqsHQgWr
" Mmmhm."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G9E44KY2g
Ugh, shoot me now.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FAy2SaK6Z
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02LFtCEF9o
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuio28DBkj
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgZtNDL3zm
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbHEGsOI1w
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WpKaUX6jP
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDdAPSLzMW
Her roommate.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSqQJVbPhd
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O3G2EXPPR
"Whatever. Come in."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOjkUFQTvl
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWgbVqtoFz
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWVcMFedcN
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJtMSYtrPw
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsWu0tq1yi
"Do you need a ride home?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jqo86lPmS
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMTUNz31vI
I don't really feel like going home right now.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9CX2ssARR
"No. I'm good."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVyRWe9fUg
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrPJMfiDzK
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AkHry1kyc
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwuPN60N5d
"Well I should get going too then."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDzBDSNSAN
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3GoBTAnU9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMgkuZcBLz
"I'm not sure."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zWyKjBmbr
"Come to my room."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimWIfxIfmv
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVUH5rl8PY
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0sNjMWiz
"...Okay."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHGwb3mCMk
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACjBz2DtI
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vv7C0136Y
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22WgPZznLY
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprLiM2UN0V
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76OSDDGiWt
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkYEa8n6Sb
Pretty cheesy, I know.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsEgkDn2g3
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNUxejhAQ
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2SEXm08ji
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisCVZNg5Rz
"Vee?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejEZJ7AfCW
"Yeah?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoDBRLCN69
"Are you really okay?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSpeqxZp4R
"What do you mean?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzarS8Qoguo
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AkqeRbZS0
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr42RmqWF2i
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHQKd7o6xN
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb1KhGiv5F
"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."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNlqS1UzDW
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9em0moFGF
He smiled at me again.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWHYJpHNhn
His smile. He's always smiling.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJ7iIYW8s
"Why are you always so happy?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAhZkz7vtu
"What?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU3krz1k7z
"I mean you're always smiling."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEr2AsQfm2
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tpi5ljfLP
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyZHIh4uR
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIOqusDVyw
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7WKot4bI5
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdlCK8jN2V
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG5WgQdt6T
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiWNXYVnDa
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1k5dtI1rk
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH21Dry7fEb
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡues8aVKs7m
A while?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXtOkdKxL1
"Oh."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe5ZcgosDr
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYpCWfknD4
"Do you regret it?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxeJzIbhJk
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdfMittqRL
"Do you want me to get up?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItkjAWdrMY
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx6PuUCHf7
"Take it off."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGIwYdjOr
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoURFXu4UV
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cCcNEEDST
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAH3sj5fFo
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUUbAaIgE2
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pAcArq6l6
"You can open your eyes now."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9IoiGdZZD
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cXXor117I
"Are you comfortable?"
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuWOVWMxkT
I nodded.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UWdAlQYGz
"I feel very exposed."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eBUhJCVhT
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GYIguKCK
"There. Now you're not the only one."
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDFRhSTeyQ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSD0PNPNTp
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyktIh9ygLO
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtGubsG8e5
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRn8pE7Q1
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
