Once in a Lifetime

Chapter Three

As I stared down at my iPhone I cursed my stupid heels yet again. They were so pretty but don't let their appearance deceive you. They're like Devils in disguise. Why couldn't they be easier to walk in? I had already been walking for about five minutes and there was still no sign of the large building that Skye had said the party was being held in. Maybe the directions my iPhone was giving me were wrong?
Two minutes later and I could hear the low thump of music. As I got closer and closer, it got louder and louder, until I turned the corner and a large building loomed ahead.
Cars were parked haphazardly along the adjoining streets and college students were everywhere, either talking, dancing or making out with each other. Some of the guys had no tops on and almost everyone had a red plastic cup in their hand.
I walked up the cobbled path, struggling with my heels on, until I found myself outside an open doorway. The music was pounding loudly and I could feel the vibrations as I leant against the doorframe.
Taking a deep breath I steeled myself before entering the madhouse. It was even worse then I could have imagined. The rooms were dimly lit and smelled strongly of smoke, beer and sweat. There was people everywhere. The couches had been pushed to the side to make space for people to dance, although I couldn't call it dancing. The were just grinding on each other. A rap song was being blasted out of an impressive speaker system, the loud noise making me wince. I quickly left the room and continued on down the hallway.
The next room I saw seemed to be a game room. A giant ping pong table dominated most of the room and there were people gathered all around it, their chairs behind them forgotten. Red plastic cups were everywhere, most of them half full. The cheers of support and groans of misery filled the room as someone missed the ball and grabbed one of the cups, chugging the whole thing down. I was oddly fascinated. So this was beer pong.
"Alex!"
A high pitched voice squealed and before I could locate the owner of it, a thin pair of arms were wrapped around my middle. I tensed instantly, waiting for them to let go of me. As soon as the did, I spin around.
"Oh hi Skye. Great party," I said, letting out a sigh of relief. She was dressed in white skinnies and a see through gold top. Her black heels were at least six inches and I pitied her. Her feet were definitely gonna hurt tomorrow.
She beamed in response to my comment and giggled shyly.
"Thank you! Even though it's technically Adam's party, he didn't do anything to prepare for it! I did all the work! Well, he actually bought the beer but whatever!" she cried out. I had a feeling that she had been thinking about this for a long time.
"Ehh-."
She cut me off. "Never mind that. It doesn't matter now. Anyway, what would you like to drink?"
"Em.. A coke would be good," I replied hesitantly.
"Oh my God no. That's so boring! You have to have a drink. Hold on be right back," she managed to get out before running out the room in the direction of, what I assumed was, the kitchen.
I sighed and took a seat in one of the plastic chairs that had been strategically placed around the room and watched the game taking place in front of me.
Not long later, Skye came back with two red plastic cups and two small cups. She handed me one of each and I curiously looked into them. In the red plastic cup was a pink drink. After smelling it, I got a hint of cherries. There seemed to be no alcohol in it so I took a big gulp.
As soon as it touched my tongue, I moaned. The drink was nearly sickly sweet but not quite. There was a strong taste of cherries and a slight taste of something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
"Mmm Skye this is delicious thank you," I said while taking another big drink. She beamed at my compliment.
"Thanks Alex! I made it myself."
When I looked back down I remembered I was holding another small cup.
"Eh Skye. What is this?" I asked while gesturing to the tiny paper cup in my right hand.
"Oh ya that! Ok just bring the cup to your lips. Ya like that. Then open your mouth as wide as you can and tip it back."
I did as she instructed and felt a cold jelly-like substance slide down my throat. It tasted strongly of orange and that other thing in my pink drink.
"OMG this is delicious too! Where are they? I want some more," I said, feeling a slight buzz. Skye smiled at me and towed me out of the room. Pointing down the hall, she explained where the kitchen was.
I staggered into the kitchen where I was greeted with hundreds of those red plastic cups and a few paper ones. Launching at them, I took three and had them consecutively.
"WOOOH PARTY!" I screamed after having them. This party was great! My whole body was tingling and I felt amazing. I grabbed another red cup filled with that amazing pink drink and made my way to the dance room.
The music was so good and I could feel my body moving to it. Pushing my way into the centre, I chugged down my whole drink before throwing the cup away. I raised my hands and started swivelling my hips to the beat.
After around twenty minutes I could feel my bladder screaming for release. I stumbled out of the room and went in search of a bathroom. There seemed to be none downstairs and then I suddenly had a genius idea! There has to be one upstairs!! Giggling to myself, I made my way upstairs.
The first door I tried was locked so I moved on to the next one. That one was a bedroom and there seemed to be two people having sex. Whoopsie. I went on to the next door and thankfully it was an empty bathroom.
As soon as I was finished I stumbled back downstairs and into the dance room. I walked into the room and tripped over someone's foot. Before I fell, someone's arms were wrapped around me and tugging me back upright. I swayed uneasily.
"Whoa head rush," I mumbled to myself.
"Are you ok?" A gentle voice asked me before steering me out of the room and into the open air. I took in a deep breath before looking up at my saviour.
"Timothy?"
"Alex."
He stared down at me with a confused expression before it turned into recognition.
"Come on let's get you home," he whispered before grabbing my hand and leading me away. I stumbled after him. Damn heels.
"Wait!" I called out. He stopped and turned around to look at me. I bent down and yanked off my heels. Finally. The feet and legs were throbbing and I felt really tired all of a sudden.
"Come on Alex," he muttered again before pulling on my arm.
I told him where my house was and we kept on walking. After five minutes, the wind picked up and I shivered.
"Here."
I felt a jumper being put over me and I was suddenly engulfed in warmth and a very masculine smell. I inhaled deeply and couldn't stop the goofy smile spread over my face.
"Thank you," I said happily.
After another five minutes we arrived outside my apartment building. I stopped at the door and took my keys out. Looking up at him, I went to give him his jumper back.
"Keep it." his loud voice rang out and I jumped. His arms wrapped around me before I struggled out of them.
"Thank you Timothy," I murmured while staring into his eyes. It was only then that I took him in. His outfit showed off his muscular physique and tan. He hadn't shaved so his stubble made him look older, his jaw looked sharpened.
My eyes landed on his lips. Before I knew what I was doing, I leaned in until our lips connected. He gasped in surprise and I took that moment to explore his mouth. It was so yummy and I moaned. He suddenly reacted and gripped me tightly, bringing me closer to him until our bodies were in close contact everywhere. I could feel his hard body around mine and I moaned again.
Suddenly I didn't feel well. I pulled away and threw up in the bush.
"Shit."
His hand came round and held my shoulders and hair while I puked and puked and puked, until there was nothing left and I was just dry heaving.
The last thing I remember was my name being shouted before I saw black.
