Bound by Two

[Chapter 3]

The girls were in my room getting ready for Halloween. I was at my vanity desk working on my makeup. I kept my makeup natural and simple. I added a bit of glitter to my eyelids, and I put the shade rouge matte lipstick on. I fixed up my hair and the put on my dress and heels. I put the devil ears and wings on. I decided to go to my full-length mirror and take a picture.

"See, you look fucking hot." Cat whistled and I laughed. We took a picture of us and then went down to see Liam and Andres at Liam's car. Liam was a playboy bunny and Andres was pirate.

"Woohoo, party time. Let's go bitches." Cat cheered. We got in the car and head to the party. We were jamming out to music but for some reason the weird feeling in the back is creeping up.

I hope nothing happens.

I had this unsettled feeling like something was wrong and off about tonight. I haven't gone partying since my sophomore of high school. I'm a junior in college now and maybe it's because I'm nervous because it's been that long, or I just really need a drink from stress.

'If you don't want to stay long then I can drive you home.'

I replayed Liam's words in my head, and I didn't realize how bad I was in my thoughts just mentally flipping out and on the verge of a panic attack from my nerves until Cat shook me lightly.

"Let's go, girl. Party time." We got out of the car and started walking down the road to the house that had over 30 cars, music blasting so loud that I'm sure the neighboring community can hear the music, and all the people dancing and drinking. They were definitely playing the best party playlist you can think off. Throwback music of the 2000s. What better way to liven up a party. We walked in and went to the alcohol table. I just grabbed a red solo cup with the juice that I know for sure is mixed with vodka and tequila but isn't going to taste like alcohol at all. Cat dragged me to the dance floor with the rest of our group following.

"Do you think he will show? He lives in this neighborhood." 

"I hope so then maybe you can make out with him." I rolled my eyes.

"He doesn't seem like the party type." I spoke.

"You never know now sway those hips." Danzo Kuduro came on and that made Cat go all crazy. I chugged my drink and danced with her dragging Celeste to us. Cat was singing along with everyone in this house. We were dancing for a while, and I glanced at Liam. He mouthed, 'Are you okay?'. I smiled and gave him a thumbs up. He went back to talking to Andres while stealing a few glances at us to make sure we were okay. Liam chose to only have one drink to be sober just in case if one of us needed a ride. Mostly me. We were singing to the songs playing and I finally loosened up and was actually having a lot of fun.

"Hey, I'm going to get another drink." I told the girls and left to the kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of whiskey and took a shot. I shook my head and then took another shot before grabbing another drink. 

"Hey." I turned to see a guy.

"Hello. I was wondering if you wanted to dance." He asked. He was pretty good looking. I turned my eyes to my friends to see Liam and Andres talking to a couple other guys, assuming they all have the same classes. I see Celeste and Cat dancing with guys. 

Okay, I am by myself.

I turned back at the guy, and he smiled lightly. I smiled back.

"Sure. Let's go." I walked ahead and took a sip of my drink before turning around to start dancing with him. While we were dancing, I took a few big gulps of the drink already feeling buzzed from a full cup and 2 shots of whiskey. 

"What's your name?" I asked while looking at his face to study him.

"My name is James and yours pretty lady?"
