two days later.
" what the fuck am I doing " I mumbled to myself, letting out a breath as I looked into the body length mirror, the silky dress clinging tightly to my curves.
I ruffled up my hair some more, re applying another coat of gloss as I checked the time on my phone. It was nearly eight pm, and almost at the exact same time, I heard the honk of aimee's car from outside.
With that, I let out a breath, taking my phone and heading down the stairs of my home. I had no clue why I was doing this, but he'd somehow managed to persuade me.
" damn, girl! you look hot! " she squealed as I climbed into her car, immediately pulling out of my driveway as I buckled my seatbelt.
I giggled at her enthusiasm, pulling down the mirror as I tried to get a better look at myself. I didn't know why I was so worried about how I looked, but something felt different.
" who're you trying to impress? grayson? "
I snapped my head in my friend's direction, shaking my head frantically. However, she noticed my cheeks go slightly pink, so she clung to it.
" oh, come on. it's obvious. he invited you, basically begged you to come. he's been so sweet to you recently " Aimee told me.
He really had been, though. Of course, Grayson is Grayson, whenever he can make a cocky and sarcastic joke, he jumps at the chance, but that's just him. However, it's obvious he's been trying. He feels guilty, he's made it crystal clear that he does, even though he tries his best not to. He's just not a good liar.... or maybe he was, but maybe I just knew him too well.
Within a few more minutes we'd arrived at the unfamiliar house, the loud but blurred music heard from down the road. I ran my hands down my dress in attempt of getting out the creases as we got out of the car, and headed towards the already trashed looking house in excitement.
As soon as we got inside the smell of weed and alcohol mixed together lingered in the air, sweaty bodies dancing against one another, while others shouted above the music, trying to talk to each other, to no success, of course.
" here, I got you your favourite "
I hadn't even realised that Aimee had left my side until she passed me my go to drink, and I thanked her.
I brought the red solo cup to my lips, my eyes scanning around the crowded room, desperately trying to find someone I recognised. Or the one person, I even wanted to see. The boy I for some reason find myself looking forward to see, even.
As soon as I looked up towards the group of guys, one stood out in particular, his familiar hazel eyes trailing down my whole entire body. It sent goosebumps all across my skin, his hair perfectly styled, and his muscles on show in his basic black tee, jacket, and ripped jeans. He looked great, hot, in fact, and I found myself biting my lip at the sight of him leaning back against the wall, one foot resting against the surface.
I only felt my legs turn weak when he continued staring at me, this time bringing his cup towards his lips with a smirk, sipping on it as his eyes remained fixated on me. He ignored everything his friends were saying, a few of them looking over to see what he was looking at, only to smirk in response.
Just the thought of him staring at me like he was, was driving me crazy. He was driving me crazy like I never thought he would, and the night was only just getting started.
grayson's pov.
I sipped on my drink as I watched evelyn from afar, her silky and short dress clinging tightly to her body, her curves that I loved standing out perfectly. I was trying to be friends with the girl again, but she was making it so fucking difficult.
My heart race began to increase when her eyes met with mine, a smirk curving up onto her lips. Just the sight of her looking at me like that made me feel as if I were on my own type of drug, though I ignored the feeling, not wanting to feel it. I couldn't feel it, whatever it was. It was making my heart ache, just the small smile that played on her lips as she walked towards me was enough to leave me speechless.
" hey, gray " the use of the nickname that I hadn't heard her use in a while floated around my mind, my tongue swiping across my lips as I tried with all I could not to glance down at her body.
" oh, uh- h-hey, you look great " I smiled, trying to act cool, by pulling the girl into a hug. i was so fucking nervous.
That was a lie. She didn't look great, she looked excruciatingly beautiful. Everything about the girl was stunning, I'd always thought so, even when I thought I hated her. I knew I didn't, but I wanted to.
" thanks, not too bad yourself " her comment made me smirk, as I held out my hand, noticing that she'd already finished her drink after just minutes of being here.
She'd always been a party animal, but I was too. We were on the same level when it came to having fun, but Ethan? he was just the grumpy friend who sat at the back and watched, literally.
I turned to the side, seeing my brother watch the two of us in amusement. He had a bottle of beer in his hand, two girls under his arms as he sat back against the sofa. what're you doing, ethan?
I began to feel even more guilty for all I'd put the two through as I watched him, and so I took her hand in mine, desperate to escape the gaze of my brother.
" can I get you a drink? " I yelled over the music, evelyn nodding her head.
What I didn't know, was that one drink for the girl, would turn into many, many more.
I grinned as evelyn held onto me tightly, her chest pressed against my own from how packed together the room was. It was extremely hot in here, or it was the fact that she was so close to me, that was driving me wild.
The song hit this hard, began playing as eve jumped up and down, her arms raising up, behind her neck, and down her sides as she got lower to the beat of the song. I nearly dropped my drink on the floor while I watched her, my lip caught between my teeth as I thought about what this girl could do to me, and what I would fucking love, to do to her.
But instead, I held myself back, not wanting to ruin anything. I'd gotten too far, I was so close to being forgiven by the girl, I didn't want this side of me to swallow me up whole, all over again.
She was lost in her own imagination, her hips swaying from side to side as her fingertips ran back up her sides, the fabric of her dress slightly raising above her thigh. I felt my heart rate increase as it dropped back into place, and evelyn continued dancing, her hair messy, falling all over the place. I'd stopped moving at this point, all of my attention on the girl in front of me, she was one of a kind.
The more I watched her the more I began to remember just why I had such a big crush on her all these years ago: she was simply breathtaking.
I had no clue how she could dance like that, how she could affect me so much just by the motion of her hand, or by the swaying of her curvy hips.
I noticed evelyn suddenly stop dancing, and I wondered why, only to see ethan right beside us, clarissa grinding her hips against him. evelyn watched him in annoyance as he looked over at the two of us with a growing smirk, trying to get my blood boiling, but failing miserably. I had the most gorgeous girl under my arm, and if he thought that having her of all people dancing with him would make me jealous, he was wrong. But what really got my fists curling was the fact that he was trying to make evelyn feel guilty, she didn't deserve that. She'd done nothing to him, it was all me, and I regretted it with every part of me.
My thoughts were cut off when evelyn turned back around to me with a smirk. She stood on her tiptoes, her hands trailing up the side of my arm as her lips got closer to my ear.
I shivered at the feeling of her hot breath fanning against my neck, a feeling that I couldn't tell why affected me so much. But it really did, and I was close to giving in, close to pulling her towards me right here in the middle of the dance floor.
It was when she whispered the words seductively into my ear, that I lost control, taking her hand into mine, and pulling her through the crowd and up the stairs of the large home. My heart was beating out of my chest, and my breaths were filled with need.
the need for evelyn.
