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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUneNX0dU4
It's Sarah.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetHNCmVDBo
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8c9tcjMpb
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHITSjVx7AF
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfLtFUyYfs
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWccuBbHxf
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk77l6TnRiO
"Okay, I'm comi-"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT741uRbVx
She hung up.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh0WK3lvWB
"Fuck."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbumSkeb5h
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5xEEc99w1
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoBahUeqUl
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmbNkLHjp
"I can take you guys back."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWCBy1VNP5
"Are you sure?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPBpnDuntB
"Of course. I don't mind."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSsAYqAapI
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonDJf98vmO
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJVoQBI5No
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr6CiRqVrX
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3GkXmoJcJ
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVq5cLisBQ
"Sarah!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMqwRI4wwZ
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vd1gxBEnp
"Is she breathing?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjBvnzmYzA
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3imtEW16
"What did she have?!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnisZTZy8ae
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGg1Hw0Frx
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxra1dCWtB
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHgTk2VYWj
"Ian said he can help us."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfYkmuSIES
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA9dKPRCLi
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnmyOt04I
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rbU9Sodd8
"What do you mean?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEK5bxDiT6
"When you called, you said Kai."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jNAwSUDe0
"I did? Oh.."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYXMAku4ne
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWVbdWg2Ti
"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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH9OgFkIPU
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRCQ29mYfV
I'll ask her about it later...
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihZZ2ZeC9
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjERGN6znfW
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspStMYhYkn
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgLLfNe5py
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYHYCcGSKi
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxfABIkLg
"Are you okay?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7lOku873S
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOAf4zw0i
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdegUxink
" Mmmhm."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzphxot0zhM
Ugh, shoot me now.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBiibv9liL
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtzpGqaBn
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTeB7a6tjZ
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RGMxhById
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7zWldq1m
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNCQQhXZG
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKvOp3248
Her roommate.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPhHOZw35A
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq5QRzrhXG
"Whatever. Come in."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V00zJsFg0
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7PFdE7Pe
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJE5W5kqy3
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmThfGyjfDw
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTJ0Al9z6C
"Do you need a ride home?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8gJwcT2de
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU55Ui8w8M
I don't really feel like going home right now.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpSgPOo3dj
"No. I'm good."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQHdRqneSH
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH8VMbzpNZ
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl5a3WCxg7
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16kVGDhpVJ
"Well I should get going too then."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiIUmDWJUa
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UUtTvaZqP
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGUzf5aFbx
"I'm not sure."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak6UejAP9n
"Come to my room."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aD1O3YbtY
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbofceGsNS
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ReEQUrarb
"...Okay."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpoUTfd0IJ
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgdR121bDY
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFMBe8hVts
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJZfdSntmH
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLOaSDpdEM
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBZMfqA7q
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnA1pP1f0O
Pretty cheesy, I know.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFLqvJODXe
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbJePjPNN
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQajOj4RoPs
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6yG0hZxNK
"Vee?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfBTfLo6o
"Yeah?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS1fZ8F68Z
"Are you really okay?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPGbRQXWno
"What do you mean?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpgVjLtw3E
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTtZHqXaGN
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHeNN0OBz6
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6q02jXKyj
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6dSpNuQPC
"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."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnC0QRHhF2
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e5aq61Tlr
He smiled at me again.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqDduZ9N6K
His smile. He's always smiling.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDMENjY4fd
"Why are you always so happy?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV73QoUC1L
"What?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNb6IHoX2v
"I mean you're always smiling."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey3rJp18Y3
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB36VEJ4l32
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcFqsrYyiK
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKudipqVM1g
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA3IW4UG9h
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDe6Yr4ou1
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OgX90XVMo
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTxxNdfMsv
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPjCQMNiln
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbZEJ8Ptzy
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLeBM8cv6V
A while?
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUYgtxhaoU
"Oh."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlJKp1WBLE
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpevAzaGw
"Do you regret it?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIulbOAx8jw
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0veRmTKyEB
"Do you want me to get up?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnVpPrGEOd
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdTp2QXYji
"Take it off."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqX6bP5QHF
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTkmgH8hQI
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4XiFCSXjI
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7cUnXzQsS
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4fzm3vyF
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCd08CESPW
"You can open your eyes now."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tykhU579F
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdayddxAeY
"Are you comfortable?"
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ325yAeoZYm
I nodded.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy6HdsyXKo
"I feel very exposed."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ526Vhtqrus
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcRIdS4LD
"There. Now you're not the only one."
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ml7qXkDt
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxv6it7TT0
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5vMsN2MQe
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROaldtV6mW
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.
179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJGnSZcpwo
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
