Heavenfaced (Ariana/you)

Chapter 2

I looked at my watch, we had been here way over an hour and all I managed to do was to move from the kitchen sink to the fridge. For the most part I was standing there like a weirdo just drinking, which, at this point, was keeping me here. Free booze is always a winner in my books. 

I had lost Magnus and Jade to the sea of people and it's not until I started thinking about it that I got a bit panicked. What if they had left and I was stuck here? There's no way in hell Magnus would ever leave the party first. That first place was held for years by me.
I decided to head out for some fresh air.

If I could ever find the backyard door.

Well, I was guessing this guy had a backyard since he had installed a fucking dance floor in his "living room".

After what felt like 4 years of searching, I found a big glass door leading to the back. There was, of course, a huge pool with a few more people outside, mostly smoking and chatting to each other.

I had made no social interactions whatsoever while I was here and it did not bother me at all, but I could imagine that I was beginning to look like a creeper.
I was seriously putting unnecessary stress on myself.

I found a bench a bit further away into the backyard. It was quieter there with 10 or so people hanging around mostly on the verge of passing out. I could deal with that kind of crowd.

I looked towards the house and admired the size of it. It looked like it had three floors and extended quite widely. This house was really something else and could probably house a quarter of the local homeless population.
Well, let's call this house a mansion at this point. Shit, maybe even a fucking castle, all it needed was a moat.

My thoughts were interrupted as I saw this brunette girl with ridiculously long hair in a high ponytail walking towards the back of the garden where I was. She was on the phone and she did not seem pleased at all.
She was raising her voice and I was really grateful I was not on the other side of that line.

"I'm at Tommy's.... No....why the fuck would I lie to you? No....WHY the fuck would I lie? Honest to God..." there was a longer pause after that statement. "You know what? I don't have to justify myself to you.... I'm really, honestly, starting to believe this was all a mistake......" she paused longer again as the person on the other end of the line was probably trying to defend himself. "you know what? I'm done talking about this.... I'm going home to my place after the party so don't fucking wait up, I don't want you anywhere near me right now...." She hung up angrily and let out a frustrated groan.

She spotted me after she did and caught me staring. I quickly looked away hoping she hadn't seen me openly intruding on her entire phone conversation. I looked over at a collapsed guy with his head in the bushes.

There was a lot of people I was happy not being at the moment.

"Men, am I right? Can't live with them, can't live without them." I heard a voice coming from the other side of where I had been looking. I turned to look. It was the girl with the long hair. My heart skipped a beat as I got to admire her features more closely, seeing the proximity. Her skin looked like the softest thing in the world, her lips were perfectly plump and – if I may add – absolutely kissable.

What the fuck was that?

Realising she had made an attempt at conversation I quickly blurted out the first thing that came out of my mouth.

"I definitely can live without them. The male species is not my field of expertise." Well that was sure a conversation starter right there.

She raised her eyebrow at me.

"You never dated a guy?" I was not sure if she was joking with the question and where I thought this conversation was going.

"Uhm, no. Gold star right here." I pointed at myself and slightly smirked.
