Walking inside the party with Keith right in front of me, the smell of cologne and perfume filled my nostrils. The music was typical playing, Return of the Mack, as many people were actually vibing with others, and drinking. I had been to a few parties back in high school and also Wayne State, but being surrounded with people from California, especially those from the Bay Area was a bit different.
I didn't know where Keith was taking me, but she eventually pulled me in front of me towards the kitchen where I notice some people from my Compostion 1 class.
"Ryan!" Looking up I notice Shay walking towards me. "I didn't know you was comin'." I shook it off smiling.
"Yeah, I got invited."
"That's good, I would've invited you myself but I got the info last minute." Waving her off we talk for a bit about the project and also some organization that she wanted me to join. I wasn't much of a conversation starter nor continuer, but I manage.
The whole entire night I manage to let loose a tad bit just for my comfort. I didn't want to be awkward around people and just not do anything, I actually wanted to make some friends and had a good time. As I watch some people dancing to some Aaliyah, I felt a small touch on my shoulder.
"You enjoying yourself?" Keith said coming into view. I smirk at him finishing my drink.
"Well, look who decided to finally came into view. What happen to actually being by my side?" I pointed. He laugh and out his hands up.
"Look, I had to go make sure people weren't messing up the crib." He smiled. As I notice the gold teeth in his mouth my mind drifted off towards his features. Keith is a really attractive person, so I would've be surprised if he had girls hitting him up. Watching as his mouth moves, I blink a couple of times.
"Huh, what you say?" I asked confused hoping that he didn't actually caught me admiring him. Looking at me, she lightly laugh looking down, causing me to blush.
"Follow me." He said grabbing my hand. We both push pass people towards the hallway where he open a door entering inside. Once he closed the door the music was literally soft background music. "Now, that we're away from that," he started. "I said since you are having a good time do you want to go do something this week with me."
"Mm, I don't know." I laugh. "You got a habit of disappearing."
"I know you not putting that over my head, Ry." Shrugging my shoulders, I laugh. "But, forreal though. I was thinking about going to this place down in LA. Good opportunity to show you around certain parts, but not all of Cali."
"Okay." I said without thinking. Lightly smiling, we both look at each other for a bit and lean in before lightly kissing each other lips. Pulling away, Keith smiled.
"It's a date then."
