Vienna

chapter fourteen

"You can always just stay in the room if you want, you don't have to come downstairs," Ethan says for about the millionth time.

Daisy shoots him a menacing glare, "I did not spend an hour on this masterpiece just for no one to see it."

It's true, Daisy is magic when it comes to makeup. In just an hour, she somehow transformed both Hannah and I into models. She even had time to come up with the perfect outfits for us, even though she had to borrow a couple things from Ethan.

I was currently wearing my bodycon lace hem striped skirt, paired with one of Ethan's white button ups. However, I left the shirt unbuttoned to show off Daisy's cute black lace bralette. With this outfit and Daisy's amazing makeup, even I had to admit I looked hot.

Ethan sent me a worried look, "You sure you want to leave the shirt unbuttoned?"

I roll my eyes at him. "Ethan. I will be fine. If anything happens or I want to leave, all I have to do is walk about fifteen feet upstairs to my room. Plus, I know you wouldn't let anything happen to me. Just chill," I reassure him. 

"Alright, alright," he sighs. "Just find me if you need me, all of you."

We mutter a thanks, and push him out of the room so we can take selfies together before heading downstairs.

Even though it was only about 9:30 p.m., the house was already packed with people. The couch in the living room had been pushed aside to make room for a dance floor and DJ table, which I spotted my brother controlling. Figures.

Daisy and Hannah squeal in excitement and grab my arm to drag me to the makeshift dance floor. Needing something to drink before I could actually let loose, I pulled my friends closer to me. "Can we grab a drink first?" I asked above the music.

The girls nodded in agreement, and the three of us made our way through the crowd to the kitchen. The kitchen counter had been turned into a bar, littered with various bottles of hard liquor and seltzers alike.

"So, Daisy, when are you going to see Aidan?" Hannah wondered.

"Tonight, I think. He said him and his friends were planning on coming to the party," Daisy explained excitedly.

"No glove, no love," I nudge Daisy with a wink, making her giggle.

We took a few shots from an unopened bottle of Tito's, then each grabbed a seltzer for the dance floor. By the time we left the kitchen, I was definitely starting to feel the alcohol. I wouldn't say I was a lightweight, but after three shots and half a seltzer I am definitely tipsy.

Which is perfect, because I am much better at socializing tipsy. 

"Oh, hey Daisy, there you are," Andrew winks at her, running his eyes up and down her body. He leans in to whisper something in her ear, to which she giggles and nods at.

He grabs her waist and leads her into the crowd, probably to go dance. She turns around to mouth Just one dance at us, then disappears into the crowd.

Hannah and I share an amused look and giggle with each other, "And then there were two."

Once Hannah and I were on the dance floor, we immediately started moving to the beat of the music. I was thankful my brother was on aux since we have a similar taste in music, so I knew every song that was playing.

I was dancing freely, swaying my hips to the music sensually with my best friend when I from the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of eyes whose gaze was burning through me. 

I turned my head and my eyes widened in surprise when they met the gaze of the intense green eyes I had unfortunately come to be familiar with. What is he doing here?
