The Summer Of Us (Discontinued)

Chapter Twenty-Four

I flinched from his reaction.

"Was he bothering you, because I can kick his ass for you." The guy says.

"No, it's fine." I smile, taking a sip from the drink.

"Great, now how about that name?" He questions.

I blush, and I don't know why I was. I guess it was just nice to finally meet a nice guy. 

"Elise. You?"

"Reese."

After a few more drinks, and quite a few drunk dances with Reese, I was exhausted.

Yet, I was having fun. 

I sloppily finished my drink. It was at least my fifth or sixth. I can't remember. I lifted the empty cup in the air, dancing to the song, before dropping it.

Making both Reese and I laugh for some odd reason. We began to move closer as the song beat became more prominent.

Soon enough our bodies were moving together. And I mean together. We were basically grinding up on each other.

Our lips crash into each other, both the taste of alcohol lingering throughout our mouths as we made out. Very sloppily.

He ripped our lips apart. "Want to take this somewhere else?"

"What?" I questioned, shocked.

"You know..." He trails off with a smirk on his face.

I look around me to find Cathy dancing with a guy as well. I guess this was normal, but I so wasn't ready to have my virginity taken by a one night stand.

"I just...don't think I'm ready for that. Couldn't we just make out instead?" I questioned.

"Yeah, of course. Whatever you want." He nods. And I was glad that he wasn't pushing himself on me.

"Where to?" I smile.

"I'll meet you upstairs, second door to the right." Reese smiles, caressing my cheek. God, why did he remind me so much of Tucker?

I couldn't help but to blush. 

I mean, it definitely wasn't like how Tucker made me feel, but it didn't feel horrible. Maybe it was the alcohol speaking.

Why the hell am I thinking about Tucker, while I'm with another guy?

Fun, Elise. We're here to have fun, get our mind off of things that don't matter and enjoy ourselves.

"Okay." I finally agree, glancing over to Cathy who luckily met my eyes. Her sight bounced from Reese to myself before she sent me two thumbs up in reassurance.

I couldn't help but to laugh to myself.

"Great, let me just go grab something." He says, walking away.

I continue through the crowd until finding a stair case, trying my best not to fall over as I walked upstairs, falling against the stair banister, luckily able to push myself off of it and continue upstairs.

What am I doing??

Fun. You're having fun.

I look both left and right finding couples intimately making out against walls. Why was he so specific about which room, knowing that it would be empty or not?

I shake my head from the thought. If I overthought anything, I'd be way over my head. 

I walked to my right, opening the second door on the right wall before finding someone in there.

It was empty. I walked in, closing the door before taking a seat on the end of the bed, looking around.

I should seriously not be here, but I thought of Cathy giving me two thumbs up, and it made me feel better in a way.

That's when I hear footsteps.

"Finally." I sighed.  "I was getting bored staring at this wall--"

That's when the door opened, and it wasn't Reese's face that I saw.

"Hello." His familiar voice lingered in my ears. Sent chills up my back. "So, where did I leave off?"

It was the guy from the other party.

"I guess I can thank Reese for helping you seek to this room, but I do need to get on him for getting too carried away." He continued.

The guy Thomas sent to...

Or was it Thomas?

These thoughts lingered through my mind, and I could swear I was going crazy in that moment.

Maybe I was wrong the whole time.

"I'm sorry...I-I've got to go." I said, standing up, walking towards the door, before he closed it shut.

"You're not getting away this time." He smiled, before grabbing my shoulders, pushing me onto the bed. I began squirming and screaming, before, one of his hands shot up, covering my mouth. "I heard you were a virgin. This should be even more fun."

I closed my eyes, with a tear rolling down my cheek. Was this it?
