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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMps07Ob7b6
It's Sarah.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUkalmYvH4
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv3H5l2QcJ
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3d5D3MROO
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyY57mv7Vp
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj7V1tkAXM
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0OmCRVb4n
"Okay, I'm comi-"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLxduvW51B
She hung up.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECD0l7GMgF
"Fuck."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1skfdd9hA
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BRCLeA9PV
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zhq74wZz1
"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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgoSBYuY7O
"I can take you guys back."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEyMMYAPKQ
"Are you sure?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxAUQ6hW8F
"Of course. I don't mind."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLWMD5Zqyg
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG60YMJ4bI
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDdLSjfMri
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRJSL3mFqT
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbQuoZMIV
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6vttZrhC8
"Sarah!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi21MbbbgBw
"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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhcwPpFNql
"Is she breathing?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR1za10Gkz
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlOpYg2L6o
"What did she have?!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNNBYbk5ax
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAPP2hXYn8
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpanHbl7u9
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHDMyzX7fQ
"Ian said he can help us."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Swp6Vk1Y
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnkUuAoz2F
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGJD8skSf
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZD2Vm72k
"What do you mean?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDvyc1OPFe
"When you called, you said Kai."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo8ixsBU6P
"I did? Oh.."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL3fzf4XZ2
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFNjGDfZId
"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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQnEyxX6qF
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU56laGERj
I'll ask her about it later...
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN2SbETpCr
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiGM5lYs3I
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8qXofhUhz
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2EUGWg3iE
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWs2ZW6EE5
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwvXKoDMEx
"Are you okay?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOulJrW764
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxgJONEq3
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicpPJo03Mk
" Mmmhm."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jLNqbJiRh
Ugh, shoot me now.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoBzWrWfp6
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EERvmIT4C
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojwyE1QlHA
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW3KvUOfdY
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYPRRUpZ9e
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCorxvluqW
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa631Bvogym
Her roommate.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzBFxSrp0E
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDBPhEu14a
"Whatever. Come in."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReO45flFV9
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghEsnmqJs
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJn0gUg6gW
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMet2EGpep2
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRKgpWKyJ
"Do you need a ride home?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k6rM3w7NT
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnERcjdsCg
I don't really feel like going home right now.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayYs1ZQUEY
"No. I'm good."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm7bMj3lgi
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7eWES9J6j
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rkzGbAegS
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfTSwBUN8d
"Well I should get going too then."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp4a8TiyJN
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0clcSJFYwR
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgMLdhXumA
"I'm not sure."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49Qq8fdkMQ
"Come to my room."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegSdbRX6q0
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ypCDkMFVK
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxw92TdEOr
"...Okay."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMLaDPqvwA
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIREfhHgfZv
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUwHuIk3LN
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3WvZLazoo
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAKokEFnGE
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou7l9juSih
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3secxNL3Rm
Pretty cheesy, I know.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9BiNh2Omo
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpKT4TTr6
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK7L3qIlzS
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwfnHbkHmy
"Vee?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ040BnrVgNk
"Yeah?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XF9hfgION
"Are you really okay?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNz5OBilDR
"What do you mean?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ovuP9OOQA
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6IytzUdXS
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFO7aN5OlB
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9gAZPCwxP
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4xt1sdb9k
"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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc5GGwntI2
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBPfG54QJ
He smiled at me again.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg0bBVFeLz
His smile. He's always smiling.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRvq5cs1L
"Why are you always so happy?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK9ycE5BYj
"What?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujj7qDClAE
"I mean you're always smiling."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBME0AU48Uu
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWXvlE5vjU
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRHmOb3mKz
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjgsbC5Kog
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrgkFF1VQ7
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWQBYx8psN
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXbU11dlk
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iXavuR3Vp
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ78xa7K7m
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOMkM1b6Z2
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIFcq03BbR
A while?
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3XXwb41A8
"Oh."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfPJSYzqDh
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz44sP8ZBTY
"Do you regret it?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afYovNIFL
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUMzxozpeV
"Do you want me to get up?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmvtXRILje
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRxAfnrVor
"Take it off."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiRipfJrEO
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KCEbAiqU1
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7EQzBolsB
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Oy0jQwK9
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrN1SrZWP
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PvlFmvKpB
"You can open your eyes now."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSogSxishy
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrB2xcYAkG
"Are you comfortable?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N3SQCHvxI
I nodded.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4iDfy1JXa
"I feel very exposed."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhK94XNP1D
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSl4uBMXpv
"There. Now you're not the only one."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDmL4plt4E
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYnbMq0hX
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0otc2jDeJ7
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7zGMC2WVQ
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17KsKmhRYr
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
