Party Disasters

[Jailah's P.O.V.]

I grinned from ear to ear as I sat on my bed, feet dangling over the edge as I swung them back and forth, elated. The ringing of my phone echoed off the walls, sticking to my promise earlier, I was calling Kaitlyn to tell her how Benson and I's date went. Only saying it was wonderful was way too much of an understatement.

"Hey girl!" Kaitlyn enthusiastically answered.

"Hey," I said, drawing out the 'y'.

"So, how did the date go?" She asked with a grin.

I couldn't help but smile at the remembrance of last night's events, "Well, it was really really fun. After we had dinner he brought me to this place and we sat on the trunk bed of his Jeep and watched the stars." I gushed and felt heat flush my cheeks a light shade of rose red.

"Awww, that's so cute. Did anything else happen?"

"Um, well, we kissed." I sheepishly smiled, watching Kaitlyn's jaw drop.

"Oh my God! That's - What!"

"I know." I laughed, "But, then he was like whenever it gets dark just remember all lights can be turned on by the flip of a switch." I spoke attempting to imitate a deep gravely voice.

Her jaw fell open in shock, "Girl," she exasperated, "He just needs to ask you to be his girlfriend already."

"Woah!" I exclaimed, "Kaitlyn, we just had our first date."

"Yeah, and ya'll kissed, the chemistry is there obviously." My thoughts came to a halt when Benson's name flashed across the screen.

"Hold on he texted me." I said, fighting back a smile.

"Read the text." She ordered, I opened the message and skimmed over it before reading it aloud.

"Hey Jai, how you doing? Also I was wondering if you wanted to come to a party tonight? I'll be there obviously and you can bring a friend if you want."

Her lips curled into a smile, "You can bring me," she beamed.

"Yes, I can." I laughed.

"Crap, my mom's calling me." She quickly ended the call and left me alone in my thoughts with a pleasant smile on my face, when I saw Benson send another text.

[Jailah's P.O.V.]

Kaitlyn and I walked into the party, music blasting as people danced in a tight knit mob. My eyes immediately began intently observing the room for Benson's familiar mop of curls.

"I'm gonna' go get a drink, I'll catch you later." Kaitlyn spoke over the music before she disappeared into the kitchen. My feet carried me over to the foyer where a punch stand sat atop a table. I was pouring myself a cup when I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder.

I looked up to see Benson with a warm smile on his face, "You came." He spoke, his smile deepening.

"Yeah, I figured it'd give me something to do." I shrugged. His hand rested on my lower back as he guided me around the house granting me stares from people I didn't even know.
