__________________________
My phone alarm went off indicating it was morning. Or at least my morning that is, 1 in the afternoon. It was nice to wake up and not have my mother complaining that I slept too late and things needed to be done, one plus of being along. Although I was already sick of the silence, I was used to a big family with animals running around; it was odd.
I didn't bother to get dressed out of my pajamas as I started throwing around the empty boxes I had recently emptied of clothing and such. I huffed as I noticed my place was already a mess, but I was glad it wasn't empty. I had gotten this place cheap and yet the previous owners still left the furniture there for me to have. I couldn't have gotten a better deal.
I made my way into the kitchen as I turned on my TV letting whatever was on play loudly to break the silence of my own breathing. I searched through the cupboards for a plate of some sort, washing it off as I made some grilled cheese and ramen. I really could not cook at all; it was a sad sight to see in all honesty. I walked in and plopped on the couch I had as I ate my food and watched the news, being weirded out by the accents, I missed hearing a familiar voice. At this moment I wasn't sure why I was watching the news, it was something I despised but yet there I was.
"Also in the local news, puppies were born under a barn today in Pe-"
"Ugh" I groaned and shut the TV off before standing up and taking my dishes to the sink. What was I going to do now? I had absolutely no idea where to go, or what was even near me besides..Well. The gym and bar, and I was not going back there today. I didn't want to see Luke at this time, or ever really. Sure, he was attractive as hell, and had a way with his words but he was a cocky jerk. I kind of liked it but I would never admit that to myself.
I was interrupted of my thoughts as my doorbell rang, confusing me. I stood up and walked over, suddenly now feeling embarrassed in pajama shorts and a TMNT t-shirt. I opened the door and was greeted by a tall figure.
"Uh...Hello. How can I help you?" I asked the guy and he grinned giving his hand to me to shake.
"Hi! I'm Ashton. I'm your next door neighbor. I heard there was a new girl in town and I had to come introduce myself" He said shaking my hands as he looked at me. "Nice t-shirt" He said giggling adorably. I blushed and thanked him quietly.
"Well, nice to meet ya, neighbor. I'm Genevieve." I said greeting him properly.
"Well if you'd like, I have this small gathering at my house with my three friends, maybe you can come over soon and meet em? I'm assuming all your friends are at home. I can hear the accent."
I bit my lip and thought about his offering, but I wasn't really good with making friends. "That's sweet Ashton but I don't know." I said
"Oh come on. It'll be fun. Come over in an hour, get ready or whatever. Just knock and I'll let you in. I'm not taking no for an answer" He said with a wink as he walked back to the house next to mine. I sighed and shut the door, locking it before making my way to my room. How bad could it be? Just three other people he was with. Hopefully at least one was a girl.
I went to my room and got dressed into jeans and a t-shirt, tying a flannel around my waist. What a cliché outfit, but it was what I felt comfortable in. I didn't want to seem like a slob in case he had hot friends, Like Luke. Good god why was I thinking about him? I needed to stop; he was just trying to get in my pants. Although it wouldn't have hurt to look a bit better when I saw him. For god's sake I was in gym clothing, with messy hair and no makeup. Not to mention I was a bit sweaty and over exhausted.
My hair was straightened, and my makeup was done as I slipped on some random van knockoffs I owned. I was a poor kid, don't judge. Target had some pretty great knockoffs for $5 back home in the US. I grabbed my phone and went outside, locking my door as I made my way next door. I knocked on Ashtons door and bit my lip as I waited for him to answer. Suddenly, the door opened but to my surprise it was not the face I had seen earlier, but rather a different one altogether. He was tall with black hair and a blonde streak or two in the front. He smiled and looked over at my figure.
"Well hello there. Not that I am complaining, but why are you here?" He asked chuckling as I blushed.
"Ashton invited me, I'm uh, his new neighbor" I said getting nervous. Jesus. Hot tall Australian boys were my weakness.
"Oh right! Come on in. He told us about you." He said opening the door completely to let me into the living room, him walking behind me. The sight I saw in front of me made my heart drop and it took everything I had not to run out that door.
I don't know what frightened me more, the fact I was the only girl in a room of 4 hot Australian boys. Or the fact one of them was Luke, smirking at me from his position on the ground.
"Genevieve ! You came, I'm so glad." Ashton said standing up and coming over to give me a side hug.
"H-Hey Ash." I stuttered out with a nervous laugh.
"Come sit down, you can sit next to Luke here." He said sitting back down in the circle they were in on the ground. I hesitantly sat next to the familiar boy and his smirk grew if that was possible.
"Nice to see you again, Eve." He said in his deep voice, a bit of a rasp lingering.
"Wait wait wait. You two know each other?" Asked a boy sitting across from me, he had some oddly colored hair. I liked it.
"Mike, this is the one I told you about; the one training to become a stripper." He said licking his lips before sending a wink my way making me turn bright red.
"I am not training to become a stripper!" I said quickly and Luke held his hands up in defense as the smirk came back. I wanted to slap it right off of him.
"Well that's one way to start the night." Ashton mumbled as he picked at the hole in his jeans.
"Ash, should I get the stuff?" The boy who answered the door asked.
"Yeah, and Calum make sure to get what's in the top shelves as well" Ashton said and I raised an eyebrow.
"You're not killing me are you? At least give me a 10 second start, I'm not a good runner" I joked and Ashton burst into laughter.
"Don't worry we're not killing you" He said as his laughter died down. I saw the Calum kid return with a bag full of things, I could have sworn I saw a bong peaking out. In the other hand he had 2 cases of beer. What the hell kind of small gathering was this? He sat back in the circle and started emptying the bag and my eyes widened as I saw drugs. Luke glanced over at me and scoffed.
"What let me guess. Daddies little princess have never done anything bad before." He said and I hit his arm.
"Shut the hell up Luke." I snapped annoyed already.
"Come on Eve, loosen up. Live a little."
"What kind of gathering is this? You just all get high and drunk?" I asked looking at them all and Ashton looked confused for some reason.
"I'm confused Genevieve..I thought you did this? You do live in an old frat house don't you? I figured you did this."
"Frat house?" I asked confused and all the boys started laughing.
"God she's clueless" I heard someone mutter but I couldn't tell who it was.
"Whatever, I'm out" I said starting to stand up but Luke pulled me back down a bit harsh.
"Sit down, Shut up, and just do it" He said sternly and I frowned.
All the boys started setting everything up and I had no clue what they were doing. But next thing I knew, they had joints and a bong set up as they opened the beers. Being the clueless idiot I was, I hardly even knew what the supplies around me consisted of. I was in for a long night.
_____________________________________________________________________________-
Fast forward a few hours and all the boys were drunk. And by drunk I mean absolutely wasted. The house smelled of weed and booze, making my head spin a bit. I still refused to take a hit of any joint, despite being yelled at by all four guys. Although I was almost positive I had inhaled so much anyways that I got a bit woozy.
I stood up and walked into the kitchen to get some water, not wanting anymore beer. I could hear the boys singing along to the radio loudly, making me laugh slightly. I grabbed water and turned around to meet face to face with Luke, making me jump and drop the water bottle. He backed me up against the counter, one hand by my waist and the other holding his joint.
"Get off me" I said annoyed as I tried pushing past him but he pushed me back against the counter. It was silent between us both, as he looked into my eyes. It was dark in the kitchen, the only light being the just appearing moonlight coming in through the window. I watched him, studying his features as I felt my heart racing fast, I didn't know what to do. I knew if I tried to move he'd only push me back, but I didn't want to stay either. He broke me from my thoughts as he lifted his hand up to his mouth, placing the joint between his lips. He inhaled before using leaning his face close to mine. My lips parted as I went to say something but he took the opportunity to blow smoke into my mouth, making me cough and him smirk with a slight laugh. He brought the joint to my lips and I went to protest but he gave me a slight glare. I reluctantly inhaled the smoke, my throat burning as I blew it back out onto his face which was still close to my own. He bit his lip, making my heart beat faster.
We continued like that for what seemed like forever, us both taking hits of the weed, him occasionally blowing the smoke into my lips. Each time he did it, I felt my skin tingle as goose bumps surfaced. Something about his lips against mine, never fully touching was enough to get my senses going.
"Take the last hit" He whispered raspily to me as he held the joint to my lips. I noticed his eyes were red, and glazed. I assumed mine were almost the same at the time. I parted my lips allowing him to place it in; he never let me grab it myself. I guessed it was an excuse to stay close to me. I inhaled it and he motioned for me to keep it in as he put out the joint, throwing it into the sink as he moved close to me, parting his lips for me to blow the smoke into his mouth. I slowly let it out and he inhaled it, but instead of moving away like he usually did, he connected our lips completely, kissing me deeply. I didn't protest for some reason, my heart beating out of my chest. His thumbs hooked into my pants belt loops as he pushed his hips onto mine, kissing me. It wasn't rushed nor forced, but it wasn't exactly the sweetest kiss. More of like the snog you give to a hot guy you just met in a bar. I liked it.
Our moment was broken apart as I heard a click, and saw a flash of a light. I quickly pulled away from Luke, snapping out my trance as I saw Michael laughing as he held a Polaroid camera. I pushed away from look and tried grabbing the camera from Michael but he held it over my head, waiting until the photo printed out. He held it up and smirked, showing me. It was Luke's arms against my hips, my leg slightly raised as our bodies were pressed together, the smoke from the joint coming from the sink. It was a sight to see.
"Ought to send that to your folks back home. They'd love to see their good girl gone bad" Michael teased and I groaned, going to grab the photo but Luke grabbed it from behind me, looking at it before slipping it in his back pocket. He leaned his head down to whisper in my ear, "Good girls are just bad girls that haven't been caught." He chuckled. "Looks like I'm winning this bet Eve." He said cockily.
I didn't say another word as I quickly walked out of that house, not looking back as I went back to my place, breathing heavily as I shut the door and slid down it. What the hell did I do?
