Taste of Peaches

Mia pov

I'm not going to lie and say I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I asked Camila for an invitation to a party. But the second we walked in and I saw people drinking and smoking weed I clenched my eyes shut.

Why did I do this to myself again?

Honestly though I could have stayed home today and given out candy to kids but now I was here with a bunch of drunk college kids. Deciding to just make the most of it I pushed the fabric of my dress that had ridden up on the uber drive over down.

Scanning the crowded for the one person I knew I would know I quickly found her taking shots in the kitchen. If I'm being honest I had no idea how we were friends but when she looked up and met my gaze I gave her a nervous smile while she ran over to me and pulled me into a big hug.

"Mia! Oh my god it is so good to see you." she said as she slurred her words a bit.

I looked her over before responding and once finding she was physically fine I pulled her with me over to a couch that looked relatively clean. Although you could never be completely sure at places like these.

Music was loudly playing around us and even now I felt a little light headed. The second a group of collage boys sat down around up and started passing around a joint my stomach dropped, and suddenly I got really unconfutable.

A boy passed it to Camila and she smoked some before handing it off to me, I was hesitant about putting it in my mouth and the second I breathed in I let out a spiral of coughs.

Everyone around us broke out into a fit of hysterical laughter while i dropped my head down and passed it down.

I didn't like drugs, which in a way played in my favor because I was an extreme light weight and couldn't handle the taste of alcohol. It took me three highschool party's to get good at pretending I did.

I only ever drank when I was expected to.

"Hey what's your name, nueva chica?"

[new girl?]

Looking to meet his gaze I found a blond boy with the most striking jawline giving me a curios gaze.

"Mia." I said finding my gaze land on his hands that were wrapped around a half empty can of beer. When my eyes came back to his face I realized he had eyes that almost looked like glass. A silvery blue color if that even made any sense.

"Its nice to meet you Mia." He said and I felt a pit form in my stomach. "Wanna go get a drink?" he asked and I don't know why but I said yes.

I gave a questioning gaze at Camila asking if she would be ok alone and she just kissed my cheek while giving my ass a smack when I got up.

"Find me when your done baby!" she yelled after me and I just gave he a endearing smile.

The boy was waiting at a doorway for me and as I walked up to him I found his eyes trailing down my body before he shook his head and walked me into the kitchen.

"What do you want Mia?" he asked and I looked at the shit ton of alcohol on the table. "Wait no- Let me guess?" he asked and I just smirked a bit while nodding my head.

His eyes raked down my body but surprisingly it made me clench my thighs together.

"You don't look like the beer type... but vodka. I wouldn't be surprised if you were a peach vodka girl." My eyes scrunched up in confusion but as he walked over to somewhere in the kitchen and emerged with a bottle of liquor I suddenly was intrigued.

Honestly I didn't know you could flavor vodka but I was totally up to try.

He grabbed to shot glasses from a kitchen cabinet and I wondered how he knew his way around the kitchen so well.

"Hey... ughh, I never caught you name?" I asked him as he placed the two glasses in the counter and unscrewed the top of the vodka.

"Leo. Leo Wells." he stated and I nodded my head walking up to him and downing the shot that surprisingly didn't suck.

That's a first.

Leo quickly followed my lead unfazed and downed his shot without even wincing. Leo was unalike from anyone I had ever met before but a deep pit in my stomach told me he was bad news...

"Why are you here in Columbia?" he asked and I just gave him a tight smile before jumping up to a free spot on the counter making me a little taller then him. Something I realized right away was the fact that he wasn't tall like Alessandro but maybe 5,11. 

Honestly though it didn't bother me.

"School." I stated blankly not wanting to give anything away just yet to a stranger I had just met.

"Your real talkative you know that?" he said sarcasm radiating off of him like a drug. 

"Am I now?" I said glancing at his lips but quickly everting my gaze to a row of cabinets behind him. I realized very quickly that he had noticed.

"Yes you are." he said before taking a step froward and placing his hands on either side of my body.

"I hadn't realized." I whispered in his ear while gently grabbing his jaw and pulling his face closer to mine.

"Any meaning behind that rose on your wrist." he said is breath hitting the side of my face.

"I got it with a friend a few months ago now." I said and he nodded placing his hands on my waist and pulling me to the edge of the counter before connecting our lips. His were soft and I felt like I could get lost in them forever. He wasn't rough but gentle as he softly caressed my sides and brought us closer together.

As I connected our tongues together I tasted a sweet bliss of peaches.
