I  got the house as well as the car key and taking a deep breath, i tugged my phone and headed out of the room

I  got the house as well as the car key and taking a deep breath, i tugged my phone and headed out of the room. the hallways were so quite. i overlooked the gate where the warden would be sitting but there was no one. great. i instantly hurried towards the gate and reached the other side.  thanks to daniel's coaching. but this time it was so much uneasy to do with the damn skirt i was wearing. 

i ran towards the parking  looking out for eliza's car. i squeezed the unlock switch  on the car's key and the last car on my left side beeped. i took off towards it and got into it. okay maya, you have got this. dad did teach me driving when i was back home. i sighed heavily as i started the car. i prayed to god to not get caught. i am going to sue eliza for this. 

11:25 pm

eliza had sent me the address of daniel's house so it wasnt much difficult for me to find it. it was very close. i parked the car in front of his massive house. many cars were parked here too. the lights of the house were all turned on and there was music cracking up from the house but the song seemed faint. as i got into the lawn i cringed at the sight of it. all red cups were laying over the grass. he is going have a tough time cleaning that.

 i went in front of the door and pushed it. it was open. as soon as i got in i saw a bunch of people wasted. 

there was no charm to the house at the significant moment. the only thing i could sense was beer. i took a glimpse around the room and found no familiar faces. 

i chose to dial eliza since it was becoming almost ridiculous to find her now. her phone rang a few times and she picked it up. 

maya- where are you?

eliza- i am in the bathroom

maya- are you ok?

eliza-i dont know.

maya- where is the bathroom?

eliza- its on the fi-

i tried to call her back but the only response was 'the phone is switched off'.  i knew that ass didn't charge her phone. i began to look around for the washroom. i climbed up the stairs and started gazing around. everything seemed so dull and dark. the lights on the first floor were dimmer. there was trash all over. there were probably 3 rooms here. each of them having big wooden doors with small knobs. there was at least 8 feet distance between all the rooms.

 between the distance were tables on which some pathetic quote or pictures were kept. no family pictures. it was almost 15 minutes since i entered her and i still didn't find the restroom. i sighed as i leaned against one of the tables. i turned back and saw another picture kept there. on taking a close look at the picture for a while i figured it was actually a painting. the painting seemed way to real. the details were placed down perfectly. it didn't have any sign of the painter.  just when i was about to pick up the potrait and feel it, i felt a hand pull me back and hit onto someone's chest as i whirled around. 

''ouch'' i whined as i looked up to find Daniel. standing way too close than necessary. i would be lying if i said he didn't look heavenly. he was wearing a sleeveless tank top and black jeans. his platinum locks falling up on his face, partially covering his dominating eyes.

  ''i thought you didn't wanna come'' he spoke as I pulled a little away from him. i shifted aside, standing with at least 2 feet distance in between us. ''well i didn't. but Eliza is her and she called me to take her back since your bestie cant even take care of his girlfriend'' i answered him, crossing my arms. his eyes traveled my body up to down. classic Daniel. a sigh left his mouth as he saw me wearing that skirt.  ''where is she?'' he asked me as he shifted his gaze away from me. ''restroom'' as soon as i informed him he started to stroll away and i followed him. i figured out the where the bathroom was. 

i rapidly scooted into the washroom with concern and found Eliza sitting on the floor. i got low on my knees. ''Eliza?'' i recited as i softly moved the damp hairs on her face. ''MAYA! you are here!'' she spoke up as she got up fumbling and trembling. Daniel stood at the door looking at us. Eliza was super drunk. like super drunk. she called me all the way here to deal with her tipsy ass. her dress was completely ruined and her purse was nowhere near in sight. 

Daniel moved towards me to lend me a hand, he held Eliza in his embrace by making her place on hand over his shoulder. ''i will get her to bed'' he mumbled as he grabbed Eliza so she wouldn't collapse. ''take her to the car'' i answered back. 

i cant stay here. ''what? are you stupid?'' he asked me with furrowed eyebrows. '' i will drive her home'' i explained to him and he sighed rolling his eyes.

 ''are you crazy! you dont even have a license!''  he asked being frustrated. 

i looked down dejectedly. i really didnt wanna stay here. 

this place looked very disastrous. '' i am sorry baby...ok i will drive you guys back'' he spoke out. both of us dragged emily down. daniel took the car keys from me and positioned eliza on the back seat.  he sat into the driver's seat and i sat beside him. he didnt speak a thing nor did i. 

i caught him taking glimpses now and then. he has a very sharp glare. and the fact that i was wearing a mini skirt made it worse. 

1:25 am

we got into eliza's flat and headed to her bedroom. she was too gone to remember any of this. daniel insisted that he would place her on her bed. he stood at the end of the bed and took a glance at me. i was by the door. there was something different today. something was unusual in his gaze. 

it seemed darker than before. his body language seemed different.  it felt like he wanted to do something but then restricted himself. even in the car, i saw him sighing over 10 times as he took short glances at me. i turned around and headed to the kitchen and Daniel got away from her bed. he gradually shut her bedroom door. i grabbed two glasses from the counter and poured some water into them. i stood against the counter. Daniel followed in and leaned against the dining table in front of me. i handed him the glass and he took it as our fingers brushed for a few seconds. 

he looked deep into my eyes as he gulped down the water. i glared at the floor since this quiet tension was too much for me. 

i could feel the unusual feeling in my gut.  ''thanks'' i eventually spoke out with all my courage as i looked up at him. ''you know its risky to come out like this so late'' he spoke in a heavy voice as his eyes passed over my skirt and then my upper body back to my eyes. 

i didnt say a word and just sighed nodding. ''why do you have to look all sexy wearing that mini skirt to sneak out'' he let out again making me dumbfound. sexy? woah.

 this is too heated for me to handle. he sighed loudly, ''fuck it'' he spoke before stepping ahead and crashing his lips against mine.
