"You wanna talk about it?"
She shakes her head no as she continues to stare at the floor. Still hasn't moved from the edge of her bed.
"You know I'll always be there for you, Regina."
Silence.
"Okay, we don't have to," A smile starts to creep up my face. "You wanna get drunk tonight?"
Her head snaps to me, "How?"
"Get dressed, we are going out." I gesture to what I wore. Which made me feel kind of confident for the first time, considering how revealing it was. My white sheer cris-cross halter corset, with a fitted V-front mini skirt to match. Normally I don't wear heels but this probably won't happen for a while so, why not?
"You look hot." She takes in my appearance.
"I know." I toss my high pony tail over my shoulder. "So get dressed because tonight is about us."
She finally smiles-and like a real genuine smile- not a fake one you use so people would stop questioning you type of smile.
I left the room so she could get dressed. I slowly made my way down the grand staircase. Not realizing he was at the bottom waiting.
When I finally got the courage to look up. His eyes were already wandering all over my body. His lower lip pulled between his teeth as he drinks me in. I felt my cheeks begin to heat up as I cross my arms over my chest.
"You look-"
"Too revealing... too slutty?" The words falling out of my mouth. I look down at my white heels that wrapped its way up, ending right below my calf.
"I was gonna say confidence is beautiful on you," he muses with a smirk. "And revealing is good."
I could feel my cheeks start to heat again.
No one has ever said that to me before. Not even my family.
"You're not bad yourself," I try to recover, hopping he wouldn't sense my nervousness.
His deep red short-sleeve button-down shirt clings slightly to his torso, the fabric pulling taut over his broad shoulders and upper arms. The outline of his muscles is visible through the thin material, particularly where his biceps and triceps press against the sleeves, straining them just enough to create a subtle tension.
A few of the top buttons are undone, revealing a glimpse of his tanned chest beneath. The open collar frames the strong lines of his chest. His white pants fitted around his muscular thighs but loose at the end with red and white high tops.
He thanks me with a wink, making heart rate pick up.
"You're the babysitter for the night?" I tease, looking up the stairs, hoping she'll be out soon.
"I'll be around but I have a few things to take care of. But I will have eyes all around to keep watch," he informs as he looks down at his watch. "Don't you worry, beautiful."
"I won't."

Normally the colorful flashing lights, the ocean of sweaty people, and the loud music can be overwhelming for me. However, after being 5 shots and a AMF in- you stop giving a shit about anything.
Regina and I danced against each other as lollipop by Lil Wayne played through out the building. I leaned my head back against her shoulder as she wraps her arms around my waist. Letting the music take over and the buzz of the alcohol flow through my body.
