Teenagers

~Part Three~

There was a moment of silence before James started strumming, the guitar was surprisingly in tune, he played one of his favourite songs, it was slow but had a happy chord sequence. Mid song James looked up and saw Lucy had moved closer, she was staring at him smiling, slowly moving her head side to side to the sound. Before he knew it he had finished playing, he put the guitar down by his side and Lucy laughed "okay I believe you, you're really good!" "Well that's what happens when you start playing guitar when you're eight" James laughed. He had always thanked his parents for pushing him to play an instrument when he was younger, because now, when he was older, he could show off to people like Lucy and had something to put on his CV. The two of them continued to talk for a while before Lucy looked around the room and something caught her eye.   

"No way!" She exclaimed, "there's the alcohol that's been hidden for party, it must be Vicky's parents", Vicky was the one hosting the party in the huge house, it was her seventeenth birthday and wanted to celebrate it. Lucy got up and walked towards to creat half covered with a sheet of fabric and pulled it back, in the creat was around two hundred pounds worth of alcohol, "wow, now I see why they hid it" she said taken back by the contents of the creat, "hey, wanna do something crazy?" She continued to ask James, "yeah sure, you only live once right, what you thinking?" He replied smoothly with excitement. Before James knew it, Lucy had taken a relatively full bottle of Jack Daniels out of the crate, "big whisky drinker?" She asked, "not particularly" James replied laughing, "well neither am I, but iv heard it gets you really drunk really quickly" Lucy smirked, she turned the cap on the bottle and opened it and took a big swig, she pulled a face that could only imply it was not nice.

 She took another and walked back over to James and sat down putting her legs over his at an angle and handed him the bottle, he sat there contemplating if this was a good idea for a second, 'I wonder where this will lead' he thought, but before he knew it he was pulling the face Lucy had a few minutes earlier. The two of them started singing loudly swaying the bottle from side to side, this had been the happiest James had been for a long time, he hadn't known Lucy for more than a few hours but they had instantly clicked and we're getting along perfectly. The night passed on, the two of them were starting to get incredibly drunk, giggly and a lot more flirty.

 She rested her head on James shoulder with her legs wrapped around his, they had almost got through the whole bottle of Jack Daniels before there was a silence, James' stomach sank, he could tell what was going to happen next. Lucy was looking at him, "hey" she slurred smirking, James looked at her and laughed, realising how drunk they both were, "can I do something crazy" James laughed, they both knew where this was going to go. They stared at each other, James pressed his forehead against hers, they were closer than they had ever been, he twisted his head slightly and kissed her, her lips were softer than anything he had ever felt before. They both pulled away smiling "sorry, was that okay to do?" James smiled, Lucy laughed, "yeah it was, now shut up and do it again", James was taken back by this comment but he didn't hesitate to kiss her for a second time, this time it was slower and far longer than the first, savouring the taste of her lips, James put his hand behind her head supporting her neck. After a minute or so they pulled away again but kept their foreheads pressed against each other's, with James hands still on the back of Lucy's head, they were both smirking and laughing.

The two of them fell backwards onto the hard ground with laughter, they were both wasted and they loved it. Lucy checked her phone, "oh my god is that the time?!" Her voice changed, "look I gotta go, I'm getting picked up in five minutes" she sat back up, James did the same, they locked eyes again smiling, "okay okay, but can I just ask you one more thing" he asked, "sure thing Romeo" Lucy teased, "can I see you again?" James' heart was pumping in fear of rejection. Lucy didn't say anything, she simply took James' phone out of his pocket and started tapping on the screen, "there's my number, I'll see you again sometime yeah?" She said passing James his phone back. They both got up, James was so relieved that she hadn't said no. Lucy kissed James on the cheek and said "I'll see you around" before walking away and back down the stairs they had both come up.
