"Here it is." Cathy said as we both got out of her 1967 Chevy Impala as the loud music filled our ears.
It wasn't a mansion, like Thomas's house, but much rather a regular house, don't get me wrong it was still big, but not the size of The White House.
"What now?" I questioned, unsure. I mean, of course I know how to have fun...I guess.
"Are you sure about this? Seems like you're having cold feet." She raises an eyebrow towards me.
No.
"Yeah, of course. It's going to be awesome." I said, reassuring both her and myself.
"Great. Now, I'm going to go inside, grab something to drink and dance my heart out on the dance floor. But if I disappear, just know I'll be just fine." She winks before walking inside.
Yeah, that sounds fun.
I walk inside as well, already seeming to have lost Cathy. Great.
I managed to catch some guy's eyes, with what I was wearing. I immediately began to feel extremely uncomfortable, as if I wasn't twenty minutes ago when I was putting on the dress and giving myself pep-talks in the mirror.
"Woah." I heard one guy mutter as I tried to walk by ever so silently.
I managed my way through until being stopped by an arm that shot out.
"I don't think I remember you ever telling me your name." He smirks. I didn't recognize his face, but it was sure beautiful.
It looked a lot like Tucker's. The eye color, everything about him reminded me of Tucker.
God, I'm already losing it and I haven't even had a drink.
"I don't recall ever giving it to you." I respond, not wanting anything to do with this guy.
"Well, how about I get you a drink, and we talk over it." He winks. "Don't you want to have fun?"
Fun. Remember, we came here to have fun, Elise.
I smile. "Sure, why not."
"Great, don't move. I'll be right back." He says before turning around and walking into another room. I stay, as he told me to, leaning against a wall.
"Hey." A familiar voice says beside me.
I turn my head, with my smile slowly fading. It was Thomas.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, annoyed.
"Probably for the same reason you are." He responds smiling with two red solo cups in his hands. "Want a drink?"
"No...thanks." I said, rejecting his offer, rudely. But who cares, it was well-deserved.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, Elise. I know you might think that, but I'd never do that to someone like you." He says.
Something inside of me wanted me to believe him. But there was already too much proof not to.
"Please, go away." I said, feeling more upset with myself then with him.
"Elise--"
"She said go away." I was joined back with the same stranger from before with two drinks in hand, handing me one.
I take it from him, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear shyly. "Thanks."
Thomas, opened his mouth to say something, but quickly closed it before downing the rest of his drink, throwing the other down onto the ground and marching off angrily.
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?
