ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ADDISON ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

At the party, Conrad and I joined Jere, Steven, Belly, and Taylor at the entrance. Conrad walked directly to grab a beer, and Steven and Jere disappeared to do who knows what. Belly, Tay, and I stood there until Nicole arrived.

"Hey guys, Happy Birthday Belly."

"OMG Nicole, you look amazing." And it's true, this was the first time I saw her without braids in her hair. She truly looks stunning.

"You look so beautiful too," she said to Belly while grabbing her hand and turning her. I smiled while looking at the two of them.

"Um, Nicole, this is Taylor, my best friend from back home." Belly introduced both of them.

"Hi, nice to meet you," Nicole said with a big smile. Taylor faked one to respond. "Come in, I want to show you guys something." Nicole grabbed both Belly and my hands, and we started walking.

"I think I will grab something to drink," Taylor said to Belly and walked in the other direction.

Nicole took us to a table full of cakes and several desserts. On top of one cake, there was a "16" candle, and on the other, an "18" one.

"Happy Birthday to both of you, and sorry Addi, I couldn't reach you sooner. I asked Conrad for your number on your birthday, but he never saw the message."

"Don't worry, and thanks for all this, but there was no need for it."

"Oh, it doesn't matter. I never lose an opportunity to buy these cakes. These are the best you will ever eat."

Then all the girls from the deb came, and they started singing happy birthday to Belly and me. Then they started talking about something, but I stopped listening when I felt someone's eyes on me. I turned to look and saw Conrad looking at me while drinking his beer, and we kept making eye contact for what felt like hours. I couldn't resist it and looked at my hands and started playing with them.

"I need to go to the bathroom," I told them and walked away. I couldn't resist his look. I just wanted to go where he is and grab his face and kiss him, just like we kissed in his room a few days ago. I can't stop thinking about that stupid kiss and how I want to repeat it, but I can't, and it's killing me. I know I sound dramatic, but it's true. I need to stay as far away from him as possible.

"Hey, are you okay?" Shit, really? Why is this happening to me? I turned to see Conrad.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?"

"You almost ran out of that house."

"There were a lot of people in there. I just wanted to be alone." He totally misunderstood what I said and with a soft "okay," he turned and walked to the house again. "Wait, I didn't mean I wanted you to leave. I enjoy being with you." Again, we were face to face, really close. I didn't even notice where we got this close to each other. This time feels like the last time we kissed.

"Fuck" He whispers 

I wanted to ask him what happened, but before I could even open my mouth, he was already kissing me. He grabbed my face and kissed me hard. I didn't know what to do, but my body did. I started kissing him back, moving my lips with his. We started walking until my back was against a car. He moved his hands from my face to my lower back, and I raised mine to tangle my fingers in his hair. When I felt his tongue on my lower lip, I opened my mouth to let it in. We kept kissing, wanting to be closer to each other. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and he moved his hands to my butt. It wasn't until we both needed air that we parted ways, and he joined his forehead with mine. "Sorry," he whispered with his lips almost touching mine. "I couldn't resist it."
