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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdmYx7R17h
It's Sarah.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHFNpTEjXy
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImx7EMUgaJ
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r2Kb3aZ4t
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR9Y0DaYsK
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegrZmdZhfs
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYDZLOkOie
"Okay, I'm comi-"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjDGYTipug
She hung up.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOVwtdFmaB
"Fuck."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ldzD9jQz
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8PSZ0md0U
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXa4EiBSdH
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcaetL5f4K
"I can take you guys back."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SptcqWMPU
"Are you sure?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv92GfSGru0
"Of course. I don't mind."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJya1B0r8k
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngNkHFACRs
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3OkV7ACaV
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkAPsxIGR7
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqiCIMkZJ
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjVSfkYRz0
"Sarah!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rhupoa3u
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5GuDdu48h
"Is she breathing?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYHpnCM9sq
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zZJ5baZZx
"What did she have?!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCugPT89OLj
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4eYqzh8BW
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6J7IfTakU
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX37aBXUMe
"Ian said he can help us."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF3EWxlsTP
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6SHDr84Cw
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7CRKrayJp
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRVfRaGsEH
"What do you mean?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKhGQ96z0y
"When you called, you said Kai."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0o1o7duNY
"I did? Oh.."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUIc2sgwKm
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3CFYehsqe
"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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9EAkREhJT
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FZ58bQFXl
I'll ask her about it later...
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9e9YcDNNv
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQx3aFm4N
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD330Sp9Fga
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3hmIHQgB0
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkgfXfNB1R
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mXzA2S2Vf
"Are you okay?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF6X1GQlaW
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzpEgWOyG9
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71krjd8PeW
" Mmmhm."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNwIw0JadK
Ugh, shoot me now.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF2gzBR8OP
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzKQZTuLy
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5ytYTpTnp
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQvq0LwgE2
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWvVy7x3HM
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeuqbfGDpe
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtALcBg7zls
Her roommate.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWn265Zzb3
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfLjlnhUpl
"Whatever. Come in."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIvGuvdvj
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5LsXxunVL
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qEFwlmfCY
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmvxlvTKUq
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7z1k8TZky
"Do you need a ride home?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdONNI3XNK
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNsDNo9Wf
I don't really feel like going home right now.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1stIdCoBcr
"No. I'm good."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrTqABLm1T
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fdxul8VOK
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUcajE1Wax
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMJTPRxVVV
"Well I should get going too then."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLMtb1E7b7
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRZfljNrDS
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbdVjzm0Tg
"I'm not sure."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAhPelhwla
"Come to my room."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerFh1MJ7Xt
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7eButOVvD
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqHPaMXV20
"...Okay."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguD0Wc1vD
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HvHvqNODm
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyIwg0SZp3
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcXGdpYuOx
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6cRrdG8wQ
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDxfnVVmXn
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAYdaefUI2
Pretty cheesy, I know.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRCvq2mDe
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YVmB4W9Po
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGh6vuC3H9
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNRciZ2TG
"Vee?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOFugqkZ8J
"Yeah?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHRwiGH7XZ
"Are you really okay?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpjkqSPGQ
"What do you mean?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7ITrpz98I
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ynAsR4l4e
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKribooKMh
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk1Eeqx7sT
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ToDd4p2lv
"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."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx9Cfq4t9N
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17OD18D2Tm
He smiled at me again.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cD6IOBdsh
His smile. He's always smiling.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ49LhYPiC
"Why are you always so happy?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0BihqPXzr
"What?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Ev0bA9Fl
"I mean you're always smiling."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVa51P8kJq
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjd0KNl93x
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBsWXnlyFg
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdB7RAxEJV
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnL2dW9jQR
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfUm188Dkm
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtHfvMFWPQ
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswe8kucNHF
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgtExphL3R
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCfVH89azg
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0li8Aye3f
A while?
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EQ6qc5JXx
"Oh."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraVsNR9wJu
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6CHuxzkXp
"Do you regret it?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY6HO0G839
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9jspJO9yY
"Do you want me to get up?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYW1i1zMQQ
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcz13KgrHX
"Take it off."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUK28FdZl
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmXZmDpAfX
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EOyIdQwrB
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vlFlJySpN
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeoGzf4uUF
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK55Q920Ec
"You can open your eyes now."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0YuA79cvc
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrheiZYrg
"Are you comfortable?"
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGi5uqqG4R
I nodded.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJVUZbYy1z
"I feel very exposed."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj1ZUba6Du
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPP65zATpY
"There. Now you're not the only one."
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RrAb1iMch
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTYVqnKhSV
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzYbaxaIln
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7e1x788ak
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.
203Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpexjxoJUek
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
