Roommates

chapter eleven

It was Sky's birthday today so that obviously meant she was throwing yet another party.

Time has slipped by since my date with Luca and we had been acting like a normal couple even though it wasn't official ever since. 

"Ugh I don't know what to wear to Sky's birthday, I don't even want to celebrate that bitch," Isabella says while rummaging through her wardrobe.

"Then we don't have to go right, I hate her as much as you do," I reply.

"I guess but Luca's going to be there, don't you wanna go to spend time with your boyfriend?" She asks smiling, she loves the fact I moved on from Jason.

"I don't know what we are yet Izzy, we haven't sorted out any labels or anything yet."

"I know but you guys are just so cute, and Sky hates it so, bonus," she replies.

"I don't know why, Kade and her are like a thing so why does she care so much?"

"It's just her natural bitch personality, can never be happy for someone else."

I laugh and hold up a short black dress from Izzy's wardrobe. "Your right, I do wanna see Luca so, how about this for you to wear?" I ask and show her the dress.

"Perfect and you can wear this blue one, Luca won't be able to take his eyes off of you," She squeals and hugs me.

The party's already going by the time we make it down there.

"Hey Izzy, Alina!" Marina says walking up to us and handing us two red cups.

"What's in this?" I ask, peering down at the reddish liquid.

"Cranberry and vodka, bottoms up," She says and we all drink. "Come, the guys are over here," Marina says and leads us towards a seating area.

Sky is sitting on Kade as usual and Luca next to them in conversation with Adrian. Sky spots me and grins but not in a kind way. She turns to Luca who has also noticed my arrival and whispers something in his ear. He laughs and looks back at her smirking. What the fuck is going on?

"Hey girls, what about truth or dare?" Sky asks in a malicious way.

"Ugh boring, why do we have to play that at every party?" Izzy asks rolling her eyes.

"Shut up Isabella, everyone else wants to play," Sky retorts.

"Okay soo Adrian ask Marina something," Sky says. I look between her and Luca who seems to have shifted closer to each other. My eyes narrow and I see Kade watching my reaction. 

"Okay, now its my turn hmm, Luca truth or dare?" Sky asks and grins again at Luca.

"Dare," Luca says and smirks.

"I dare you to kiss me," Sky says and Luca chuckles before wrapping his hand around the back of her neck and kissing her. What the actual fuck is going on? And why is he still kissing her?

"What the fuck?" Izzy says and Sky pulls away to look at me, a smug expression on her face. 

"Sorry Alina, did you really think Luca would like an ugly bitch like you over me? Come to think of it, Jason didn't like you either, I wonder if you could pull anyone," Sky says and laughs before continuing to make out with Luca. Tears well in my eyes, why couldn't I catch a fucking break. Are all guys such assholes? Shit, I don't want to cry in front of everyone.

"Alina, truth or dare?" Kade asks me.

" What?" I ask confused looking at him.

"Truth or dare?" He asks.

"Why the fuck are you asking that now?" I say motioning to Sky who is now moving on top of Luca.

"Just answer the question."

"Dare, I guess," I say, my voice wobbling slightly.

"Dare you to take a shot," Kade says and I look at him confused. I reach for the bottle but he stops my hand and takes it from me. He walks around me, behind the chair I'm sitting on and tips my head back. 

"Open," He whispers and I open my mouth. He takes a mouthful of vodka into his own mouth and connects our lips, pouring the vodka into my mouth and I swallow. He pulls away and I lower my head, too shocked now to notice Luca or Sky or anyone else. 

"I have to go," I say and rush towards the bathroom. 

"Alina!" Isabella shouts my name but I'm already through the door. I reach the bathroom and stare at the mirror. What the fuck just happened. Luca cheated, I don't even know if I could call it cheating, I mean, were we dating? Everything just seems fake now. And what the hell is wrong with Kade.

The bathroom door opens and I turn to tell whoever it is to leave when I see Kade.

"Please leave," I say quietly, looking at him, searching his eyes for glee about what just happened.

"Are you okay?" He asks,  concerned.

"What?"

"Are you okay?" He repeats.

"Kade, why do you do this? You confuse me so much. Your cruel to me, then bring me ice cream and comfort me after Jason, then you nearly kiss me, then your cruel again. And now this? Why did you kiss me?" I ask and am met with silence as I realize how I probably would have cried and started to break down if front of everyone if not for Kade shocking me out of my senses with the kiss. "You... you..." I start and push him lightly in the chest but he grabs my wrists and holds them against him. 

"Kade, why do that for me?" I whisper looking into his eyes.

"I don't know," He answers and frowns, like he's actually confused.

"You don't know?"

"No, I- I have to go," Kade says and starts to walk out of the room into the hallway.

"Wait," I say grabbing his wrists.

"What," He says turning back and looking at me.  

"Thanks for it, with Luca." I say and he raises him hand up, brushing a strand of my hair out of my eyes and making me catch my breath.

"Your thanking me, Alina?" He asks, slightly caressing my lip with his thumb.

"Yes, thank you," I say breathlessly.

"Shouldn't you be pushing me away right now, don't you hate me?" Kade smirks. I should, I really should but his touch just felt so good. "Do you want my hands on you, Alina?"

I nod but he shakes his head a smile playing on his lips.

"Words, darling. Do you want my hands touching you right now, do you want this?"

"Shut up already," I let out before smashing my lips onto Kade's. He places his hands on my wait, trailing them further up to pull me closer. I start to kiss his neck, slowly and teasing.

"Fuck, just like that." He says throwing his head back. I groan into his neck, kissing harder.

"Oh! Sorry, I'll come back." I turn my face away from his neck to see Isabella's shocked face and I push away from Kade. 

"No Izzy, it's okay. Um, what did you want?" I ask.

"Um, are you okay? I didn't think Luca was so much of an asshole, I'm so sorry all guys are fucking dicks to you," She says, also looking at Kade pointedly as to say 'you too asshole' and he coughs to conceal a laugh.

"Yeah it's fine, I've been distracted from it anyway..." I say looking at Kade who smirks at me. "Let's go though Izzy, I want to get away from this party," I say and she nods.

We start to walk away and I look back at Kade who was watching me walk away. I turn away conflicted. God, why does he have to be such a confusing person?
