CHAPTER 16 - MIXED EMOTIONS

CHAPTER 16

The party was out of control.  

It was 1 am and everyone was hammered, including me.

There was a loud thump from the kitchen. Everyone went quiet. I looked at where Jen was standing on the island laughing and dancing with TJ, but she wasn't there anymore, it was only TJ, who was looking down at something in horror. Then Jen popped up from behind the Island fist pumping.  

"Yeah!" She screamed and everyone cheered with her. I realized she fell down. TJs expression turned from absolute horror to a grin. He pulled her back up and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.

Right now, I was holding a half empty vodka bottle having a dance off with Jeremy and Zac on one team and Tyler and I on the other. Tyler begged to be on my team because obviously, I would trash Jeremy and Zac like i always do.

"Teach me how to dougie," Jeremy and Zac sang, doing the dougie. They were pretty good, but Tyler's a dancer, and I'm not that bad at it as well. I handed my vodka bottle to Kenzie and stepped up to Zac and Jeremy with Tyler and we both started doing the dougie. I was so wasted that before I could even start I fell over and started laughing like a maniac. Ray came over to me with a grin on his face and soon everyone was laughing. He picked me up and took me to the lounge and put me down on the sofa.  

"Shots! Shots! " I yelled fist pumping. Ray chuckled.  

"No more drinks for you," he said kissing me. "You're wasted." 

"Like you're not," I said touching his nose. I threw my head back and laughed.  

"Babe, you're pissed," he said laughing at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and giggled. There was a sound of a glass crashing from the kitchen which made me laugh hysterically again. "I'll go see what that was." He kissed me again then left. I leaned back against the sofa and looked up at the ceiling and chuckled.  

Yup, I was wasted.

ZAC POV

There he was, kissing her again. He took her away from the dance floor and to the lounge.  

Usually, I wouldn't care if Ray was kissing Skye. Sure I would get mad, but I'd keep it on the inside.  

Tonight, I took it out on drinks. 

And the drinks brought out my emotions for Skye. I liked her a lot and I was jealous. I admitted that to myself tonight.  

I had to tell her how I feel because it was killing me on the inside.  

But then I liked Kenzie too. She was probably Jeremy and I's first crush way back in 3rd grade. We actually had a fight over her and didn't talk for nearly a month. We decided that we would never let a girl come between us. 

I broke out of my thoughts and decided I should talk to Skye.

I started making my way over to her but was stopped by Kenzie.  

"Hey," she said smiling up at me.  

I looked down her beautiful dark blue eyes.  

"Hey Kenzie," I said pushing a strand of her hair back.  

Sure, she was hot, no, beautiful, and I liked her as well. Maybe as much as Skye. But I have a soft spot for Skye because I've known her ever since I could remember. Maybe if I knew Kenzie that well we would hit it off. She was still kind of a stranger to me.  She moved away and it's been nearly 7 years since we've seen her.

"Want to go get another drink?" She asked.  

"Sure I'll be right there," I said winking at her. She giggled then left for the bar. I turned back to where Skye was but she wasn't there anymore. I looked around and saw her rounding the corner. I jogged over and held her hand before she could walk outside.  

"Zac!" She said throwing her arms around my neck. She stumbled and fell on me but I quickly steadied her and we both started laughing.  

"You're hammered," I said.  

"I know," she sighed pouting at me. 

We stayed silent for a while. 

"I like you Skye," I blurted out. She looked in my eyes and I couldn't look away. She looked shocked and confused. "A lot."

"What do you mean?" she asked, all amusement wiped from her beautiful face. 

"That, I, Like you?" I said.

In that moment I did what I felt was right.  

I leaned in and crashed my lips on hers. She stiffened but after a few minutes she kissed me back.

SKYE'S POV

Every bone in my body was telling me that kissing Zac was wrong. But it felt so right. The drunk part of me was telling me not to let go. The sober part of me was telling me I was cheating on Ray. But at the moment, the drunk part off me was taking over. So basically, I was fine with his soft lips on mine, until he pulled back.  

He ran a hand through his hair and looked guilty. Shouldn't I be the one guilty? 

"I-Im sorry," he stammered. He gave me one last look then walked away.  

I brought my hands up to my lips and ran my fingers over it recalling the moment.  

That. Felt. Awesome.
