La vie en Rose (Flowers #1)

Chapter 4

We could hear a car honking outside.

"The taxi's here!" Livy shouted from the window that overlooked our street. "Let's grab our shit and go!"

I threw back the last of my pink drink. A couple of hours ago we decided our girl's night pre-party situation needed something more than pizza, so we started making up cocktails together. We made some delicious mojitos and then Livy grabbed the vodka, rum and basically all the heavy stuff she could find. Now standing up from my seat, I know it definitely wasn't such a good idea.

I started giggling as I looked to Vi's concerned face. "I'm gooood Vi! Don't give me that mom look." I stood up straight and took a deep breath focusing on the task at hand. Grabbing my purse. Getting into the taxi. Going to the party. Finding some hot piece of ass and then getting laid tonight. I definitely needed to let off some steam from all the stress I'd been through these past weeks and what better way to do that, then to loose myself in a wild night of crazy dirty random sex?

We turned off the music and got our coats, ready to head out as Livy hurried across the living room to grab her things. Her clumsy, and a little drunk ass, tripped on the rug almost falling face down. I burst out laughing with the scene and at first Violet looked concerned but then joined me as did Livy. Moisture coated my eyes as I tried to control my breathing.

"Are you okay, Olivia?" Vi finally asked. "I think someone had too many pink wet dreams!" she teased. Yup! That's the name Livy gave her magical pink concoction. She was a genius and surprisingly an outstanding bartender.

The car outside honked again hurrying us downstairs.

"Guys just hurry up before the taxi leaves!" Violet shouted from the door. Why the fuck was Violet in a hurry? She hates parties! Every time she went out she delayed us as much as she could and yet she would leave early, just as soon as we were drunk and stopped paying attention to her whereabouts. I really wish she enjoyed going out more. I always loved getting tipsy with my friends. Dancing all night so much so that my feet would hurt the next morning and my voice was gone from all the singing. It was the time where we could go wild and let loose.

The three of us got into the backseat of the car and Livy gave the driver the directions to the guys' house.

The driver was a man, who appeared to be in his fifties, but he was really cool. He put some great jams playing on the radio and sang with us on the way. Windows opened. The music blasting all around us. The wind blowing in my face felt so good I had to put my head out of the window and in that fraction of a moment I felt free.

As we stroll in, the heavy scent of alcohol, sweat and smoke reached my nose. The windows were already foggy from the temperature difference created by the bodies inside and the freezing cold of the winter night outside. The apartment was packed with people. Some were dancing together in the mocked up dance floor in the middle of the living room, some playing what looked like beer games by the kitchen table, some chatting over the loud music, and others were making out under the dim light that illuminated the room. The apartment was spacious and by the look of the stairs near the kitchen I would say it was a duplex.

"Hello ladies! Welcome to the crib." Colton - the playboy - Barker greeted us with his perfect white smile and sneaked in a wink at me. "You'll find the booze on the kitchen counter. There's beer, vodka, gin, you name it. Help yourselves to whatever you want."

Colton was wearing all black and the tight fit left his incredible physique on display. I followed him with my gaze appreciating his muscular back as he joined his friends by the kitchen. There were a lot of familiar faces in the crowd but I focused my gaze in the three drop dead gorgeous guys. Colton, Hayden and Nicolai. Hayden's messy curls made him look effortlessly hot and I could make up his ripped chest through his white shirt. Nicolai was also dressed in all black adding to his mysterious persona. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that the three hottest guys in our year were best friends. They're such eye candy!

"Rosie, please wipe the drool sweetie!" Livy teased me waking me from my thoughts. "It looks like you're looking to the last slice of pizza on earth. Or must I say slices!" She snickered, wiggling her eyebrows at me. Ugh. I really need to get laid.

We removed our coats and set down our belongings on a couch. I took another peak at the guys and at the same time Colton locked eyes with me. My cheeks immediately heated up and I felt this frenzy on the pit of my stomach.

"Oh look Livy! She's blushing!" Violet mocked me.

"It's probably just the alcohol's fault or Livy's pink wet dreams!" I said averting my gaze.

"Rosie, Rosie, Rosie don't you mean your wet dreams?" Touché, Olivia, touché. They were both laughing as we walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup filling it with some vodka and soda.

Lifting my gaze I noticed Colton was still looking at me. But I wasn't the only one who had because next thing that flew out of my two friends' mouths was: "Someone is getting dick tonight!"

I really can't bring them anywhere...
