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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuGCzpMqTx
It's Sarah.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPmFkmgDRK
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7BqQkv6xf
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDPag5fuea
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcbtknb2cA
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVMZLq7rhM
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon47rjCiyG
"Okay, I'm comi-"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuhzZ42JSF
She hung up.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGgxpNaYBr
"Fuck."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETHQAvjP1k
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTavi0X7g
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyFVxHefIB
"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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp2J3Z99iH
"I can take you guys back."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Xb4JOboH
"Are you sure?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMSBHHSLJ4
"Of course. I don't mind."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ8jIKBim8
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM5FTrMeqU
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHZtWhN8hh
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxsE01G11B
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX2teIUhaX
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxrOKJZ8OH
"Sarah!"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3iPfIGCwC
"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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVujcPSgnW2
"Is she breathing?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUERXi41nN
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsLgURmBTG
"What did she have?!"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckTi6CoP90
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhigQUT38Wo
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrvt6R9dqo
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKyt4D8Lu
"Ian said he can help us."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpue5x2PKJ
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGk7s1q5Tu
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FB4Z6wbp
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNyMPbl0oT
"What do you mean?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcgjFVnR7q
"When you called, you said Kai."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZtvsyjUpf
"I did? Oh.."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAU0jKxJWI
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1faeNrW6
"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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM8WDvTdYg
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhExGa1a8U
I'll ask her about it later...
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2f06ekgzo
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhh08aSR0P
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnStCVkYIy
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VIWwKD4Aw
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qJ8heAvuK
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d3rgmgrQu
"Are you okay?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Koew02wvM
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZohHVsejy
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Agr8BL0y
" Mmmhm."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXMvS9q2o4
Ugh, shoot me now.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IkcEd9QMO
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVrZgyOYC
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh00JwF59x8
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL94vo2aLQ
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdGtqPNTEv
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqraQTGhPcF
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4Gw8fhe3
Her roommate.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjs7AkQyB4
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7gyaUMDyp
"Whatever. Come in."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU8EZFnAZg
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp8bviRJ54
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cur8jlLsq
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAajeymZDp
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhe1kSFoAt
"Do you need a ride home?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2CCOsew0F
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoE3FXEX8e
I don't really feel like going home right now.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDhdwkBU45
"No. I'm good."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp0EmCzypB
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbO6O9uvHH
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVWW3c6ZcA
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiO96nsXwZ
"Well I should get going too then."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbEyLmPkM9
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MIZNrWSOp
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy83z3YVJbn
"I'm not sure."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV5Ra9gCoY
"Come to my room."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgb1SqHyhx
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQalOPbqRT
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QvNOx9Gfd
"...Okay."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pfiLxSO7K
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl3Gv2y876
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7LUEKY0BJ
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMBRgsIf6
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TPp3wfxnm
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3teFL8EQu
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpX8tfS3tl
Pretty cheesy, I know.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLClq5Tc9p
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV5qWg0RiP
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYojW0gbD
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT0h35mkv4
"Vee?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfxYME6fQ
"Yeah?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWri7nsXo1
"Are you really okay?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5bUYe5YF1
"What do you mean?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvVAL1eEze
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHmKO0SlBD
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwGJrz8bsU
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SzGC5wKo3
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXhcepSD5U
"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."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNe0mHNYyD
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TGGFW7aWO
He smiled at me again.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uH4Kz6PsG
His smile. He's always smiling.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0tP92wtlt
"Why are you always so happy?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87HtIF2xsX
"What?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0znsttem
"I mean you're always smiling."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcKYcb0Ezu
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY2Fyo0w2W
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzrGFMP79h
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcynznIRZO4
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq2tdVj7Qt
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXCcoVIEWP
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitju4Un0ie
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBAET6IdCf
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfKodOiVpA
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKsGAcCTMq
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbGJHWbMBG
A while?
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9MJ2sjvZz
"Oh."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1P1uFkFNx
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvu4AJwDFL
"Do you regret it?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3p4UxLlzp
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl6Fecy93P
"Do you want me to get up?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59BTAcuVOh
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTZPRGR9Y8
"Take it off."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikUV0OWTBb
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJMFWZwHHF
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZt3NbmqvG
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0LDlaBkB4
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC2EzWCw8y
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHW3ePCIOS
"You can open your eyes now."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUCGnkCUmJ
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAZDtiwPvG
"Are you comfortable?"
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b5RJCacbV
I nodded.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCM7oy4vYM
"I feel very exposed."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxaxMQE4vU
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm5RmzHQWI
"There. Now you're not the only one."
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq73RmkOPnr
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw0uiyd0DW
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kvTsPavp1
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AQcTGHRFc
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.
175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpuOTEjDk
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
