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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpIvfmuuEV
It's Sarah.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52LvvZV7Pz
"Hello? Kai is this you?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYrjEo4tmx
"No, It's me Vee... you called me? Is everything okay?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkKcKQlSMm
"O my gosh Vee... Jordan is super drunk and I need help getting her back."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRu9P37rCb
"Okay I'm coming! Where are you right now?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4q4tpvZ7
"I'm outside and she's passed out on the floor in the front yard! Hurry! This is so embarrassing."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGUbYQ3T3a
"Okay, I'm comi-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7h9SUkCnB
She hung up.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rSwxo7LIA
"Fuck."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGSdmYKsnB
"What's wrong? Is everything okay?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rQcXVm6O
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9E5WG09zZ
"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."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPQZVENiD7
"I can take you guys back."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6M7StAjBg
"Are you sure?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9PnGVHxy9
"Of course. I don't mind."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhzA6wVYZM
I really had no choice. I was stuck riding back with him again.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1FaxUhYr8
"That would mean a lot. Thank you so much."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeac78pOKnS
"Don't thank me. Now let's hurry before anything happens to your friend."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQ6G87FfJ
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3gSAUJC3G
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aI4E75Jdq
"Sarah!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8mh5RvQa0
"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."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqX4tuNavA
"Is she breathing?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckNWSKWDUZ
"Yes she's breathing she's just really drunk."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudONQesFU
"What did she have?!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTy3fd3kn
"I don't know! We were having a drinking competition with Kai and his friends and-"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchsXPJp1i7
"You were with Kai?" Ian said interrupting our discussion.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xumaUIk9v
"Yes that doesn't matter. We need to get her back to the dorm now!"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw78BruMDKS
"Ian said he can help us."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kb6ileshY
"Okay great let's hurry before people start crowding around and making a scene."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPZqYXVOwH
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVywlBcU8FR
"Why did you think I was Kai on the phone?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9hjSPjS8
"What do you mean?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiOEjljvFi
"When you called, you said Kai."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHkgsutPD
"I did? Oh.."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3F2JEL9YP
I tried to read her face to see if I could tell if she was going to lie but she was looking down.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kmti8fEbN
"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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Th7A0gLBE
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWaGkJ4edt
I'll ask her about it later...
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIERUlHkEx6
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4vkspKIzE
"I'll sit in the back." Sarah got in lifting Jordan's head onto her lap.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZHjOwRhx0
Ian opened the passenger door for me to get in and got in the car after a few seconds.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2H2kGEa6Q
"Jordan lives in the dorm, just drop us off on campus."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfPgn8miVd
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pd430GDRo
"Are you okay?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9h3ygYCNu
Ian's voice echoed in my ear and I waited a moment before answering. I almost forgot we kissed. How could I forget?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35ANgJlTc
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU81Y6j3XEj
" Mmmhm."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf6MEQPzm0
Ugh, shoot me now.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk5FAdxtJ3
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5YOX5hPkq
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIiMFIPCFA
"We're here already?" Sarah said groggily.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieiO2BUgqg
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGwQF7HBEl
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8YIBS0BYe
The door swung open swiftly and a short girl appeared in front of us looking very annoyed.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3CLk9H9hx
Her roommate.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhPuWcrHIH
"Sorry. We couldn't find her key and she fell asleep in the car..."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bEnGfEn07
"Whatever. Come in."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWNOAL7RvQ
She walked away and climbed back up onto her bed and turned over.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAOPQUCU7m
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZoJBnaMw
"Thank you so much Ian I owe you one."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CuAm8DojR
"Don't worry about it."He flashed her a friendly smile.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbBXud1BqF
"Do you need a ride home?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymX7NT4gLq
"Oh...I'm good I have a ride. What about you Vee?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMZS4Wks57
I don't really feel like going home right now.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv03PkzYh9
"No. I'm good."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivfRThwLxI
Sarah nodded but Ian's eyes lingered on me questioning my answer with his expression.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX1bp1IW7Y
"Okay well, bye guys! Text me when you get back Vee! Thanks for the ride Ian."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS4Tatho53
She walked away grabbing her phone and putting it to her ear and disappeared around the corner.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJEwAK8XvQ
"Well I should get going too then."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z3Ymkdd6i
"Where are you going if you aren't going home?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJQeW4lJwl
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ5BkSDDmd
"I'm not sure."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo83LTNpmo
"Come to my room."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO8I7UP8aw
I raised my eyebrows in surprise to his reply. He wanted me to come to his dorm?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuV42Abmv1
"Just for a little. Until you decide when you want to go home."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWmt1Uof24
"...Okay."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6joaWYGRV
We started walking slowly back down to his car and to the boys dorm.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH0qwpjwpv
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEsdowxTUH
"Sorry I didn't clean up."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPMH7OxuNE
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysNr3o1iF
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2hpzQqt0W
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHOimqEGlU
Pretty cheesy, I know.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eeN39DXk1
I couldn't trust my judgment completely because I've been wrong before.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ60RDx5VJY
Plus, he kissed me tonight and now I'm even more confused.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKOEqXPq6F
He got quiet for a minute. I hadn't noticed that I got distracted in my own thoughts and spaced out.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY920roA4Pa
"Vee?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7XhmAbBUk
"Yeah?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIeTHEppZ
"Are you really okay?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzSIdwqGhC
"What do you mean?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwlMoTxUx
Our eyes locked onto one another's.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdku2Yj4gKz
"I mean, that day I gave you a ride to the bus stop...or even today, right now."He paused.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIRkPUTiRE
"Why don't you want me to take you home?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ryArtNcm
His eyes traveled through mine searching for an answer. They had a glimmer of wonder and anticipation shining through them.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0g1RFjGp
"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."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWusaMZE78V
"You can stay as long as you'd like."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaTz7Fxxs5
He smiled at me again.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtyp6dWnfM
His smile. He's always smiling.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nIaHXn1w
"Why are you always so happy?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngRDeGTmr
"What?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscwlnH5j7S
"I mean you're always smiling."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeDftaJcgd
"I'm not sure. I guess I like to see the good in everything."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrUNYzz0g6
"I guess I would be able to too if my parents were millionaires." I mumbled under my breath.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeP3UVMrT5
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZu0L8aVAl
"You want me to lay down with my masquerade dress on?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4SN0if7Bb
"Do you want to borrow some of my clothes?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7PtQDuUv8
"Mmmm I'm too lazy." We both smiled and he nodded.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe2KaQxI0U
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALGVSeh5y7
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviUf4JiyFV
"Why did you kiss me tonight?"I broke our silence.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1odiehQs2s
"I've been wanting to for awhile now."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpjGQSdOvB
A while?
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rlgc06Bh3
"Oh."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOfzfjJjf0
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7iQG4jlpI
"Do you regret it?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjiwT4nhWQ
"No. Sorry i'm just uncomfortable."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9B3lnhBd3
"Do you want me to get up?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HEg5wWQh
"No, no. It's not you it's just my dress. It's really tight. I feel my circulation cutting off." I laughed.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoE2kZTIne
"Take it off."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLpjidx6Cw
"I- I'm not wearing anything under it."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkreNOuHHu4
"It's okay. I can lay in my roommates bed if that makes you more comfortable."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAtFgvGgty
"No I wouldn't kick you out of your own bed. I'll just take it off."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Bcs4QSFI
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN68KDUiBuY
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dFZjtQe7Y
"You can open your eyes now."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KKC3Jp2eK
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntx86H5YOW
"Are you comfortable?"
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9l4qONY74
I nodded.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM4gv3juoA
"I feel very exposed."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJD9saINvJ
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOC1z0X3UV
"There. Now you're not the only one."
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Nnaz5MIr
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7SGVX8MKS
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKg6g8TbK2
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco9rvjYN8P
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.
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtYMLkKylT
Too tired to question anything, I lay my head on his shoulder and passed out.
