I sat at a corner in the kitchen, no! I'm not hiding from my birthday I'm hiding from Gabriel. For some reason he hasn't stopped hitting on me and I feel like shit because I can't outright tell him I'm taken. This is one of the sceneries where I wished William wasn't so old. It's not his fault so I shake that thought away, I was tipsy no doubt and it would be safe to hail an Uber to Will's house. "Oh hey!" Someone says from the kitchen door frame, I jumped up from my seat startled. I frowned taking in the appearance of Damen Freeman. Damien was drake's best friend, we got along but I won't call us friends. He must be aware of all his friend did and he still has the audacity to show up here. "I know what you're thinking Lizzy and no, I wasn't aware and we're not friends anymore" he seats himself down on the available stool. I was glad the kitchen was big, so I stood as far away from him as possible. "Good for you but I still don't want you here" I slurred, okay maybe I'm more than tipsy. "Can we talk like adults, you have always being one to dramatize things" he frowns. "Are you calling me a drama queen?" I glared at him, seeing red, "No but you're not actually a saint yourself. I mean look at you, I'm sure at some point in that long ass relationship you cheated" Damen stares me down. Guys really need to know when it's not cool doing that, William's stare never made me hate my own skin but his does. "I have no idea what you're talking about Damen but I best get back to my party" I walked out of the kitchen, he was hot on my tail. "What I'm meant to say was let me take you out," I stopped frozen in my spot, weeping my head in his direction really fast. He shivered from my glare, "things with Drake might have ended badly, but I'm not one to roll the sheets with his former best friend" I scoffed before stomping back to where the girls sat. "Hey bitch" Sarah pulls me to her, Sarah initiating contact means she's drunk but I'm too selfish to pull away. "What's wrong?" she ran her fingers through my hair, "Damen came on to me" I murmured. She pulls back to see my face, "which Damen?" Ah right there is actually a cute Damen a few inches from us and Sarah has being hoping to take him upstairs. "Not that one, Drake's Damen," she visibly relaxed before tensing up again, "is Drake here?" "I've no idea but I'm done thinking about it" I grabbed a wine from the cooler popping it open and I felt eyes on me. Looking up I met the eyes of a past lover, Oliver King, he looks smoking hot in that swim suit hanging low on his waist. Gera wasn't wrong college did him fine, his baby cheeks are now replaced with a firm jaw. His abs must be hard from where I am, wait! Snap out of it Lizzy you're drunk I shake my head to relieve the thoughts. Somehow my feet carries me over to his side, "hey birthday girl" his slight Mexican accent coming out strong. I hated that I reacted to it, I know I'm just horny so it's best I get my ass out of here but drunken me seats. "It's being awhile" I say focusing on his brown eyes, "yah but you look" he rakes his eyes over my frame, "wow!" He gasps, "thanks I'm barely wearing anything". "I can see that" his voice lowers, oh god! Why did I say that he might think I was flirting with him which I totally wasn't. "Maybe we can catch up for old times sake later," "why not now?" he smirks moving in closer. Get away before you do something you will regret Lizzy! "Sorry but I have to go" I stood up abruptly, wavering a bit before getting my senses straight. I could feel his gaze on my ass, atleast I know his personality hasn't change, his still the same fuck boy I dated. Hurrying into some warm clothes and grabbing my spare bag I head downstairs while texting the girls to let them know I've left. "Where to?" "No where" I say too quickly before composing myself, "non of you business Gabriel" I add. "It is my business if it looks like you're going on a booty call" he growls, "whatever thanks for everything" I shrugged before walking pass him. I'm not stupid enough to think he would just let me go but I didn't expect his tight grip on my wrist. "Stop fucking playing hard to get and act like the good whore you are" he whispers in my ears, I don't know if that's suppose to turn me on but it repulses me. I pulled away, glaring firm on his figure, "I'm your sisters friend and even if I wasn't I won't settle for a man that disrespects women". I don't wait for his reply before walking out, the Uber arrived on time so I just hopped in leaning my head against the window glass. My mind was in shambles, how can those two be siblings? And thinking up until tonight I thought he was the perfect gentleman. He only did it so he could have sex with me, I'll have to tell Gera, but do I want to be the reason they drift apart? He's still her brother and they're pretty tight, "okay Lizzy you can think about this later" I murmured earning a look from the driver. "You alright there ma'am?" "Perfect" I smiled, he nods but still stares at me wearily. I felt light pats on my shoulders I didn't even know I had dozed off, "oh sorry" I yawned with a blush. "No problem kiddo" then he looks forward, "don't do anything you're not comfortable with". Great he thinks I'm a hooker, "I'm Lizzy Morgan sir this is a friend's house" I smiled. "Oh! I'm so sorry I shouldn't have assumed it....." "it's okay you were only looking out for me" I nodded climbing down. With my small essentials bag, I strolled into the gate. "Belle!" William calls from his front porch, his voice brought tears to my eyes and I ran forward hugging him. Somehow after so many insinuation of me being a hooker I didn't want to have sex. "Are you okay?" "Yay! Just peachy" I smiled pulling away. "Don't lie to me Belle" he lifts my chin so I stared into his eyes, "can...can you just hold me" I sobbed. "Sure please don't cry," he leads me into the house heading straight for his room, I had seen it the last time I was here. I slipped under the covers watching William walk into his bathroom to change before coming back out and joining me on the bed, he scooped me into his arms. "I'm here Belle" he coos running his hand through my hair, "I'm sorry I ruined your night" I whisper. "There is always tomorrow," I'm so grateful he isn't lieing and saying shit like I can't ruin anything, his being honest. "Tomorrow won't be my birthday Will" I sighed, my back was to him so he couldn't see the tears. Damen was right I'm a drama queen, "I don't know what happened today but just sleep, tomorrow I'll make it all better" he kisses my hair. Giving myself into his warmth, I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
