Green Hearts

Chapter 31

Thursday's are definitely for pool parties

I re-knot the strap of the kimono around my waist and grab for my solo cup again but I hardly need the liquor in it because I'm already wasted

Muna had split up immediately we got here to go shove tongues with some poor human being and I decided to do what I do best at parties; get myself a solo cup and avoid Jace

Yes, yes and yes

The universe whom I have done nothing to offend is toying with me

I had sighted his mop of curls being swept into a ponytail and I'd cursed aloud as I disappeared into the second floor of the house that was mostly empty which is certainly not because he is here

Though that could be a reason

But because he just always seems to get hotter when ever he isn't mine

Darn that goddamn ponytail and that shirt that illuminates his green eyes and those...

I should shut up now

"Yeahhhhh!!" I yell along with some other people on second floor as the third guy this evening takes off his shirt and prepares to jump from the balcony to the pool downstairs

Luckily for them, no one has miscalculated their fall and landed on the ground with cracked bones or splattered brain on the slab or drowned cause they knowest not how to swim or land well in water

Ha! Lucky

The guy lands with a big splash in the poor and I cheer along with others because I don't have to implement my emergency exit strategy incase someone dies here

The pool jumping suddenly becomes a thing as more and more guys begin to make their way up the second floor and it begins to get too crowded

I turn to exit the balcony and explore the house when my heart almost bursts out of my chest when I find Jace seated on a table, actively watching me

I yelp and probably jump three feets in the air. I close my eyes and touch my hand to my chest to calm my rapidly beating heart down before glaring at the idiot

"Are you trying to kill me?" I hiss but he shrugs lightly like he didn't just give me a heart attack

"I was just sitting here on my own" there's light humour in his green eyes and I want to squeeze them out "I'm the one that should be scared since you screamed unexpectedly"

I'm about to retort with a response when he suddenly takes a picture of me with my camera. My mouth falls open at the audacity when he takes another picture

I quickly cover my face with my solo cup and keep my hand outstretched for my camera. My gaze begins to double, effectively reminding me that I'm drunk

"How in the hell did you get my camera?" I ask him and bring down my cup when he doesn't place the camera in my hand

"Muna" he replies, his eyes lazily watching me

"Does that girl not know the meaning of not talking to someone? They don't give that someone someone's camera so that someone has I talk to that someone to get back their property cause that totally defeats the point of not talking to someone" I say and roll my eyes as I press a palm to my temple

He's still watching me wordlessly with an amused smile when I meet his gaze agin. I match his stare with a glare and walk off. I hear his footsteps immediately following behind mine

"What do you want Jace?" I groan into my cup as I take another sip but it gets pulled out of my grasp

I turn to eye Jace who dumps the cup on a table along the hallway and pushes me ahead to keep walking as I try to grapple for it
