Nini entered the house with Aiden on her side,noticing it was already fully packed,loud music echoing from the speakers and people on the dance floor dancing and drinking.
''Hey,let's go the kitchen,Kourtney said they were there.'' Nini said over the music and he nodded.
They started making their way towards the kitchen before Aiden spotted a friend of his on the crowd.''Hey,do you mind if I go say hi to Jake?Or come with me.'' he said.
''Oh,it's okay,go and find us when you finish up.'' she said and leaned up to leave a peck on his lips.
As she kept walking she felt two hands sneak up on her,softly grabbing her by the waist,his familiar scent invading her space.
''Hi.'' Ricky said close to her ear,the familiar goosebumps rising on her skin.
She turned around to see him staring at her in his leather jacket.''Hi.''
''What took you so long?'' he said pouting.
''I took a bit too much to get ready.'' she said studying him,noticing how he slightly slurred his words.''Are you drunk already?'' she giggled.
''What?'' he gasped,putting a hand on his heart.''I just had three shots.'' he said,showing the number three with his fingers.
''Oh well,you don't have the best intolerance to say the least.'' she laughed and threw her hair behind her shoulder.
As she did that,he let his eyes rake over her figure,noticing how gorgeous she looked in her dress,not missing the way her cheeks were slightly pink.
''What?'' she said.
''Nothing,you just look great.'' he said with a lopsided grin on his face causing her cheeks to flush.
''Aw,thanks you look great too.'' she said trying to calm the racing beat of her heart.
He cleared his throat.''Um,where's Aiden?'' he asked curiously.He was sure they were coming together.
''He is talking to a friend.'' she answered.
''Okay then,let's go to the kitchen,get something to drink.'' he said,grabbing her hand to lead her there.
''Oh,Kourtney isn't here.'' she said looking around.
''Eh,you'll find them in a bit.'' he said as he opened up the tequila bottle and filled the glasses with it.He handed her the glass and they clinked them before both of them downed the liquid.
She felt the bitterness on her tongue and shook her head.''Damn,that's strong.''
''And you say I have bad intolerance.'' he said smugly.
She lightly slapped his chest.''Shut up,I'm not even buzzed.It was just a shot.''she said and he grinned dumbly at her.
The smile slightly fell as Aiden found them and quickly snaked his arm around her waist,pulling her closer.
''Hey Ricky.'' he said.
''Hi,man.'' he said awkwardly.
''Um,did you talk to your friend?'' she asked turning to look at him.
''Yea,sorry I took so long I didn't want to leave you alone.'' he said softly.
Before she could speak Ricky butted in.''Nothing to worry about Aiden,she had me with her.'' he said,a smirk on his face,as he lightly nudged Nini's shoulder.
''Of course she did.'' Aiden muttered.
''What?''
''Nothing.'' Aiden answered,a fake smile on his lips.''Anyway,thanks for keeping her company,we're going to go now.'' he said looking at Nini,who had remained silent,feeling the tension between the two boys.
''Sure sure,have fun lovebirds!'' he said backing away from them.
''Hey Nini!'' he yelled,causing her to turn around.''I'll be on the dance floor for when you get bored.'' he winked at her and turned around to leave,a skip on his step.
