II Fading Into The Night IISteven×Duff Fanfiction II

35. cold water

Duff's pov:

It's almost 8 when we get in the car.

We took a bottle of scotch with us, mom won't notice it's gone.

Steven's driving.
He rests his hand on my leg once we're on the highway.

It's 8:20 when we arrive at the beach.

We get out.

"Do you know this dude?" I ask as we step into the sand.

"No." Steven says and takes a small sip of the bottle.
"It should be over there." He says.

We walk towards the house with the loud music and people hanging out outside.

"Eyy, nice pick man!" Some guy says pointing at the bottle and gives Steven a high five.

"Where should we put this?" Steven asks.

"The dining table inside." The guy awnsers.

We walk inside. The table is filled with bottles.

"My man Steve! Duff!" Robbie says behind us.

"How's it hanging?" He asks and high fives us both.

"Great. How are you." I ask.

"I'm good." He exclaims slurred.
"The other guys are outside." He says.

We take a drink and walk behind him.

Some are dancing. I would call it dryhumping but hey, who am I to judge someone's dancing abilities.

People are playing beer pong, that cup flip game and various other drinking games.

I see the other guys standing against the wall.

We all say hi.

We chat for like ten minutes when I feel someone playfully push my shoulder.

"Whatsup man!" He says.

"Slash! I didn't know you were here." Steven says.

"Nice to see you dude." I say and hand him a drink.

"Yeah, Jack asked me." Slash says, i see Steven stiffen a bit next to me. He can't be cold cuz the weather is nice.
He already snapped back. I shake it off.

"I heard there were some college seniors here, so I'm hoping to score." Slash says and looks around.
"How's your dating game going?"

I look at Steven, I'd be fine with telling Slash.

"Oh yeah we're scoring." I say and smile at Steven.

"Oh definitely." Steven says.

"Nice, Is she here?" Slash asks.

Steven puts his hand on my cheeck and turns my face to face him.

Eventhough it all happend fairly fast, to me, it felt as if the world was silent. As if the wind stopped howling, the waves stopped crashing, just to give us some silence.
A sound of silence in which our love grew.

He brushes his lips on mine before entering my mouth with his tongue.

I brush mine against his, the sensation sending shivers down my spine.

I hear Ahmed, Felix and Robbie cheering like little girls.

Steven pulls his lips away, looking at Slash.

"Oh Shit! Congrats man." He says to both of us.
"I never would have guessed you two would end up together."

We chat about our lifes and stuff for half an hour when three girls come up to Slash and ask him to join their beer pong game.

He joins, of course.

"We should play next." Steven says.

"Who wants to play against us?" He asks the other guys.

"Ah no thanks, I have work tomorrow." Ahmed says.

"So what, I do too. You're just a chicken!" Robbie says and imitates a chicken.

"Rob, how much did you drink?" Felix asks laughing.

"Your mom's pussy!" He says.

"That doesn't even make sense." Felix says laughing.

We all have a laugh. After ten minutes of waiting we can play beer pong.

"Is there a price or something?" Felix asks as he starts filling up the cups.

"The losers have to take a body shot out of their partner." Steven says.

"Not fair! You guys will lose on purpose." Robbie exclaims with a grin.
I burst out laughing.

"Are you a chicken?" Ahmed says and imitates Robbie imitating a chicken.

"Pftt, 'course not. Lets go!" He scoffs.
Felix filled all the cups.

Felix begins.
He misses.
Robbie gets the ball in a cup.

Steven drinks it.
I get to throw next.
I make it in.
Felix has to drink.

After about ten minutes I make the last cup.

"Fuck!" Robbie says.
Ahmed opens a bottle of liquor.

"Body shots!" He screams.

Some people come join us.

Robbie goes first, Felix doesn't hesitate and drinks to alchohol straight out of Robbies bellybutton.

After Robbie did the same he makes a sour face, either from the alchohol or drinking out of his friends bellybutton.

Steven and I laugh.

Some other people start joining them.

He takes my hand and pulls me aside.

He takes me to the shore.

The sea pushing and pulling her waves before our feet.

"It's beautiful out here." I say, closing my eyes as the smell of seawater fills my nostrils.

The music from the party seems muted as the waves fill my ears with their sound.

Nothing but us, the sea and some seagulls in the distance.

Steven kicks off his shoes he takes off his shirt and throws it on the ground.

I start to do the same.

"Fuckin hell!" I hear him scream as I see him standing in the water.
"This is colder than I thought." He laughs.

I laugh too, as I step in the sea, wearing only my shorts.

He was right. It is cold as hell.

The water slowly turns dark as the last rays of sunshine hide behind the horizon.

Steven takes my hand.
Both knee deep in the water.

I feel Steven place his hand on my hip, pulling me closer. He kisses me. I kiss him back.

I notice the waves getting higher as the tides change.

I splash some water on Steven. Hearing him laugh brings a smile to my face.

He splashes it right back at me.

We have a small water fight for a moment.

And in that moment, everything feels perfect.

No responsibilities, no pressure of college or jobs.

Just us. Us living in the moment. I wish we could stay like this for ever.
