Broken Glass | D.M.

When we go downstairs, "Promiscuous" is playing loudly through the speaker. Most people have already arrived, but the party was just getting started.

After a few minutes of searching through the crowd, we walk over to Raina and Draco's friends, who are occupying the area of sofas and chairs by the fireplace. Charlotte, Esme, and Blaise are doing lines off the coffee table. I could tell that Draco and Theo were tipsy, but not quite drunk yet.

"Hey Rain," says Alexander, Raina's boyfriend.

"Arly, Carter, grab a drink!" Nott tells me and Raina.

"I'd rather have some coke," I state, smirking at Draco. He raises his drink at my glance, and smirks back. Despite my recent weight gain, I'm feeling sexier than ever.

"Alright Carter!" Says Esme as she prepares me a line.

Charlotte hands me her roll of paper, and I lean down towards the coffee table and sniff. I feel the effects almost instantly.

"How about a little game of never have I ever?" Theo asks.

"I'm down," says Blaise.

"Yeah, me too," says Charlotte.

"Okay then, everyone get a drink. I'll start. Never have I ever fucked someone," Theo says. Clearly the alcohol has sunk in.

"Woah, way to start strong," says Esme. "But it has to be something you've never done," she smirks at him.

"Ah, shit. Someone else go then, I can't think of anything."

"Okay, never have I ever had a threesome," says Raina.

Blaise and Theo drink.

"Oh shit!" Charlotte says.

"Alright, never have I ever fucked a girl," says Charlotte.

All the boys drink immediately.

"Ugh, B-O-R-I-N-G," says Theo. "Draco, go next."

"Umm... okay. Never have I ever fucked someone-"

"Oi, C'mon mate, we all know that's not true," Blaise cuts him off.

"You didn't let me finish," Draco responds. "Never have I ever fucked someone who's playing this game."

To this one, everyone drinks, except for me and Draco.

"Oi, looks like we got a virgin on our hands," Blaise says. "Maybe that'll have to change tonight.

"Oh, relax Zambini. The question was about people in this game, not in general," Raina says trying to protect my status, her words beginning to slur from the alcohol.

"Alright, we need to get Thiz to drink," Esme states. "Who's got one?"

"Never have I ever done coke," Raina states

To this one, I have to drink. And so does everyone else except for Raina and Xander.

"Speaking of which, give me a bump," says Draco. He goes to get a line, and with that, the game begins to fall apart.

I snort another line, immediately feeling a euphoric rush. Instead of sitting back down on the couches with the rest of the group, I go outside.

Just as I finish lighting my cigarette, I hear the door to the balcony open and close.

"Since when did u start smoking, Bee?" Draco calls out.

"Since literally forever?" I respond.

"I don't think I've ever seen you smoke before," he replies, leaning against the wall.

"I don't do it that often," I tell him. "Want one?"

I hold the carton out towards him, but he shakes his head. I take a drag.

"So, are u like stalking me?" I ask.

"What makes you say that?"

"I went outside, you went outside..."

"What, I'm not allowed to hang out with my girlfriend?" He asks playfully as he grabs me by the waist and brings me close to him.

He takes the cigarette out of my hand and throws it over the balcony.

"Hasn't anyone ever told you that smoking is bad for you?" He says as he leans in for a kiss.

I pull another cigarette out of the pack and light it.

"You can go back inside, you know. You don't have to have eyes on me 24/7," I tell Draco.

"Fine, but come in right after you've finished... that," he says gesturing towards my cigarette.

Finally some peace and quiet. And true peace because I'm so high that my brain has stopped being annoying. This is the sheer bliss I've been searching for my whole life.

I go back inside and stumble over to Draco, who's sitting in a dark green velvet arm chair. It looks like all of our friends have moved somewhere else, probably to go fuck or something. I sit on Draco's lap and kiss him passionately and he moans softly as he picks me up easily and leads me to his room.
