Luke
I hate Halloween.
Okay maybe hate is an exaggeration, I just don't particularly find the idea of it appeasing.
Dress up in a weird costume, party with millions of people around and not remember it the next day.
Now that I am saying it out loud it doesn't sound that bad.
Which is how I end up leaning against a wall talking with my friends in a cramped room, people are dancing like there is no one around, the smell of sweat stenches the room.
My gaze roams the room as I assess everyone, there are one too many pirates and fairies around.
My body tenses as Hannah slips in underneath my arm, She's wearing a tight black dress with a black halo, the devil. A little bit too accurate.
The worst part is that I can't push her off because this is her house and my friends would probably kill me if I got us kicked out after they made me drive twenty minutes to get here.
"I haven't seen you around Luke" she purrs as she places a hand on my biceps,
"Sorry Han, I've been busy" I reply cooly, not wanting to get on the bad side of the devil.
"No probs, want to get out of here-" I don't hear the rest of what she says as my gaze locks on the newcomers entering.
I watch as a playboy bunny, Indiana jones, a mermaid and a sailor rummage through the crowd.
I instantly recognise the mermaid and the sailor and separate from Hannah to find my team to tell them that Logan West and his team are here but they are already looking at the group.
Gracie catches my gaze and does a shy wave in my direction in which I return with a wink, a body comes up next to me wrapping itself around my chest.
"Where'd you go?" Hannah pouts,
"I just-" A breath gets caught in my throat as I watch Lizzie step through the doorway with a guy hot on her trail.
Holy fuck.
I take every part of her in, she's wearing short shorts and a strapless top that looks like it's about to fall off. The cowboy boots she's wearing make her legs look never fucking ending and her cowboy hat just makes her look so fucking sexy.
The best part is the red lips she's wearing, I swear I get hard just looking at her laugh.
So fucking pretty.
My eyes narrow at my teammates as they throw wolf whistles in her direction, I shove Wyatt a bit for being an accessory to the crime and he just puts up his hands and shrugs.
"Lukey you can't blame us, I mean look at her. I'm not blind I notice when there is a beautiful girl."
"Plus it doesn't look like she is yours" he adds as he nods towards the guy in a Spider-Man suit talking with her.
"Off-limits, tell the team" I say making him groan,
I shove him a little bit harder for his sound, my eyes fixate on her again. I can see the happiness she is orbiting around her and annoyingly so can other people, but that's Lizzie.
She gives her fair share of waves and conversations with random people who look irrelevant, she looks around the room with determination set in her eyes as the beautiful amber eyes land on me.
Her eyes go wide as she spots me and a blush creeps over her face, so fucking adorable. I give her a little head nod and force my eyes away from her so I don't seem creepy.
Throughout the night my gaze keeps on coming back to her,
Me: Cute costume, tinker bell and Peter Pan would've been cooler.
I roll my shoulders and stuff my phone back into my pocket as I carefully watch her, she exits her conversation and pulls out her phone and just for a moment I see a twitch on the corners of her lips that sells her off.
Her eyes find mine and I give her a wink, she makes a scene out of her gaging while a smile sets free on my face.
Lizzie: stop texting me.
Me: you just keep on breaking my heart Elizabeth
Lizzie: what are you even dressed as?
Me: Come over here and I'll tell you😉
She looks up at the phone causing our eyes to find each others, a blush settles on her face before she breaks the eye contact.
"No thank you, can you stop" I snap my neck to the right, my gaze settles on the playboy bunny girl who walked in with Gracie and Logan.
But my grace gets caught on something else , this prick of a guy is grabbing her wrist pulling her towards him. Without a second thought I make my way over to them.
"Yo bro stop" I say as I pull the hand he has wrapped around her,
"Who the fuck are you?!" He shouts, a stench of tequila comes out making me cringe.
"Someone who is about to beat your face if you don't let her the fuck go" I say stepping closer to him, even though he is tall Im fucking taller and I am not afraid to use my height and body to my advantage.
"No pussy should be this hard to work for" he huffs out, I grab his shoulder as he tries to turn around and push him against the wall.
"Say that again I dare you" I growl, his face drops and he slides away quickly.
"You good?" I ask the girl, she slightly nods looking at me shocked.
"I'm Luke" I say trying to hide my chuckle as her jaw drops slightly,
"Sophia, um I think my friends will probably kill me if they see me talking to you so I'm gonna go" she says as she steps back,
I follow her steps as she makes it back to her friends, my eyes widen when I realise that her friends consist of half the sharks hockey team and Lizzie.
I watch in amusement as Sophia drags Lizzie towards the dance floor, Sophia brings her arms up with Lizzie's and sways with the music.
"Yo Beckettttt" Adam slurs from next to me,
"What's good?" He asks as he claps my back hard, I take another long sip of my beer as I assess him.
"You feeling good man" I ask him, his eyes are analysing the dance floor and by the looks of it he has found what he wants.
Without answering my question he struts off to the dance floor hooking his arms around a random girls waist who is giving him heart eyes.
"He looks like a handful." Someone comments from behind me, I turn on my heel and am met face to face with pretty boy Carson Blake.
I don't pay much attention to him as I look around the party, my body tenses as I find Lizzie.
Wrapped up in a random guys arm, her body sways slowly to the new song, Maneater.
I wanna see you all on your knees, knees.
She turns around so her back is faced on the guys front, she locks eyes with me and a smug grin escapes her lips as she slowly makes her way down, rubbing herself onto the guy.
The guy in question is enjoying every minute, his hands roaming her curves. I force myself to stand still.
"You know her?" Carson questions from next to me,
"Yeah" I say breathlessly, not taking my eyes off her, I rub my hands over my face in a shit eating smile.
She may be rubbing all over the guy, but she's looking at me.
"I'm going to the bathroom." I say not waiting for a response from Carson,
I make my way through the buzzing crowd which is easy enough considering my height, a hand stops me from walking further.
"Where are you going?" Hannah pouts,
"Bathroom." I say sharply,
"Oh well use the one upstairs it's less crowded" she says letting me go and winking.
I follow her directions and close myself in the bathroom, I don't know how long I spend in there just sitting, I pull out my phone to answer some texts.
Eve: miss you asshole, you could visit once in a while.
I smile at the text from my little sister, when we graduated we both decided to go far away from home and to Eve that meant crossing the whole fucking country.
Before I can even reply a loud commotion comes from outside the bathroom, I unlock the door and peek out.
Lizzie is standing there with all the colour drained from her face.
