All That You Wanted | Daniel Seavey

Daniel
After the next song she wanted another glass of wine so she went to the kitchen and I awkwardly sat on the couch.

I saw a pizza box sitting half open on the dining table so I got up and grabbed a slice. There was a note on the top of the box and I rolled my eyes as I read it.

I saw her giggling with Eben and just watching Tate and Jonah. She was jealous, not of Tate or Jonah but jealous of what they had together.

I just stared at her. After at least a minute she glanced over at me. This is quite awkward. She shook her head and chuckled as she grabbed a bottle of tequila from under the sink.

I watched her take a big swig and chase it down with a Red Bull before slowly placing the open Red Bull and tequila bottle back under the sink. She even left the cabinet slightly open as if she was going to need that again.

The worst part about all of this is that she knows what she's doing to me. She knows that I'd rather be standing there with my arms around her.

He was just looking at me. Just staring. I  smiled awkwardly at the thought of another night with him. I don't hate the idea.

The night slowly came to an end and everyone left. I changed into a pair of sweatpants and a crop top and laid down and fell asleep right away.

Two weeks later (middle of the night)

After about an hour of just laying there I got up again. Why can't I sleep?

Without even thinking I went to the kitchen and just slouched into a chair at the kitchen island.

I grabbed a piece of pizza out of the box and slowly took a bite out of it. It took a second but I got an idea. I ran to my room and turned on the shower.

It's 1:57 a.m. and I'm blow drying my hair. I was just staring at myself in the mirror, I had this giddy smile on my face and somehow no bags under my eyes.

For a second I didn't even know who I was looking at. But that was me, standing there in a white cropped tank top with a little red design and white sweatpants on.

I slapped on a little bit of makeup and grabbed my phone and walked out the door. As I got to the elevator I realized I forgot one thing. I quietly walked back to my apartment and rummaged around in my junk drawer until I found it.

I put my fake ID in my bra and headed out. I was clicking through Instagram stories as I got in an Uber and shivered a little as I sat in the cold vehicle.

I had gotten a notification Corey, Daniels friend, had followed me. I followed him back because he seemed cool, I watched his story and he posted one at a party, I carefully watched to make sure I didn't see Daniel at all and then dm'd him.

Yo Corey wya it looks fun

Corey
This party at my guy Hudson's house
Address is xxxx xxxxxxxxx
Pop in for a bit

I told the driver where to go and he dropped me off at the front of the house. It was huge, I could see at least two stories with vaulted ceilings and at least four bedrooms from the outside.

When I walked through the front door I was more than overwhelmed by the music and the dancing and the size of the space all together.

I went up to get a drink and saw Corey at the bar also. He waved me over and said, "since you just got here, wanna start out with a round of shots?"

It wasn't really a question because at soon as he said that the bartender started pouring. Turns out I started the night with three rounds but I still felt like myself. He brought me over to meet some of his friends.

I had this bad feeling in my stomach, that was until he introduced me to Hudson. He was surprisingly pretty hot, we all made our way to a patio set around a fire in the backyard that overlooked the dark ocean. It was pretty loud out here and the sound of the waves didn't help anything.

Me, Corey, Hudson, and a few of their friends sat with us and we talked for maybe fifteen minutes before some girl stumbled over with a completely uninterested guy on her arm.

He kept unhooking her arm from him and taking a few steps away from her.  Once he looked up at me he put his arms around her and as they walked closer to the light of the fire I could see it was Daniel.

I laid my head back on Hudson's shoulder and I heard a bark come from the garage. "What was that?" I asked and Hudson slurred a reply, "my dog in the garage"

I got up and Corey looked at me, "what?" I laughed. "His dog isn't small," he laughed back. "It'll eat you." Daniel chuckled which made the girl on his arm laugh obnoxiously.

I just shrugged as me and Corey went into the garage. As soon as we turned the corner I saw Daniel push the girl off, she was half passed out so she just kinda slumped onto Hudson's lap who was snoring at this point.
