Need You Now (Watty Awards 2014)

Chapter 5

Just posted a picture of Eddie Newman! LOve yall! <3

             "What about this one?" Chelsea asked as she pulls out a tiny black mini dress that went right above her ass. It also showed way too much cleavage. She looked like a total slut. 

"Chelsea, stop picking out dresses that make you look like a whore!" i snapped as i rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. She sighed and went back into her dressing room. Yes, she has a dressing room. Oh, how i envy her. Next she comes out in something much more flattering. It's a strapless, flower patterned dress that had the cutest brown belt. It flowed a little at the waist down but came to her mid thigh. It was adorable. 

"Perfect. Okay, now i need to get ready or I'm not going," i say laughing as i dig through her closet. Before i could pick something out she pulls out the cutest outfit i had ever seen. It was a white blouse with tiny bluse flowers on it and ruffles around the top. The navy mini skirt was high waisted and with it was a thick brown belt. It was perfect. I put it on and she hurried and did my makeup and curled my brown locks. i grabbed some white flats and we both ran to the car. We had to get there in 10 min. or we would be late! 

                 We hopped into her car and drove off. 

"Is Markis going to be there?" i asked suspicously. I really was going to keep an eye on them if he was. He has a reputation for screwing girls at parties. I would never let that happen to Chelsea. It would screw her entire life up. 

"Yeah. I asked Jacob to invite him. I hope he thinks i look hot," she purred as she looks into her rearveiw mirror and applies more lip-gloss. I roll my eyes at her comment. 

"You don't have to make him think you look hot, Chelsea," I was going to say more before she totally cut me off! 

"I can take care of myself, Sarah! I dont need a second mother watching my every move!!" she snaps as we drive up in Jacob's driveway. I was suprised we could park at all with all the cars here! His entire front yard was full with cars and empty beer bottles. I ignore what Chelsea told me and got out of the car. 

              As we walk into the house all i can smell is sweat, and beer. God it stunk!! I ignored the horrid smell and started to look around for Jacob. I couldn't see him anywhere! Chelsea was already dancing in the middle of the room with Markis. God, they were so gross when they were together. It wasnt even dancing! It was basically sex and dancing mixed together. I rolled my eyes and went to get a cup of red wine. I know Jacob's house like the back of my hand so i open the back cabinet and take out the red wine and pour some into the red plastic cup. I take a sip. God, i loved wine. I only got to have it when i came here because Chelsea's parent's don't keep alchohol in the house. 

           Making sure i don't bump into the people making out in the hallway, i climb up the stairs to Jacob's room. Jacob never really interacted with anyone at his parties. He just had them to keep up his reputation at school. 

         As soon as i opened the door i saw his smile beam at me. He gets up off his laptop and gives me a warm hug. I giggle at how short i am compared to him. 

"You look completely gorgeous, Sarah. I am so glad you showed up!" his eys trail down to my glass. "Is that beer?" He asked confused. 

"No! You know i hate that stuff. This is just some wine. You having fun here all by yourself?" I laugh as i take a seat on his bed. I felt safe already. 

"Yeah, now that your here, i'm having a blast," he smiles at me as he sits next to me. I am already blushing like a cherry. 

                    How could a guy make me feel this alive? How could he do nothing but yet make me feel so safe from the horrible world i live in. Suddenly, before i knew what was going on, he was leaning in to kiss me, giving me just enough time to pull away if i wanted to. But i didnt. I savered the kiss. He tasted like honey, and vanilla. His hand brushes my cheek and our lips are moving in sink. THe feeling from the kiss sends bolts of heat and electricity all the way to my toes. I come up giggling, our lips still touching. 

"You know, when you said you were coming tonight and didn't blow me off," he laughs while tracing his nose cutily on my cheek, "it was seriously the happiest moment of my life." 

"Your lying," i whispered while putting my arms around his neck and pulling him in. 

                  The kisses are now more passionate and its as if he knows that i wont break if he kisses me too hard. I press my lips hard against his and leave room for my tounge to meet his. I swear this is the best i've felt in my entire life. Well, it was until Chelsea walked in. 

"OMG! I am so sorry you two!!!! I was just trying to find the bathroom!" Chelsea squealed as both of our faces turned red. God, this was so embarrasing. 

"It's okay, Chelsea. Its the next door to your left. Can't miss it," Jacob says calmly, giving Chelsea a warm smile so she doesn't feel guitly for walking in on us making-out. Or at least trying to. 

           As soon as she closes the door, i take a huge gulp of wine. Jacob just starts laughing. 

"What's so funny?" I snap. His face hardens with sadness and i immediatley regret getting annoyed with him. 

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get mad, its just, that was really embarrassing," I say, hiding my blushing face. 

     He laughs and takes my hand. He kisses my cheek and starts leading me out of the room. I look at him confused because i honestly have no idea where we are going. I've never been on this part of his house before. 

"I told you i had a suprise for you at the balcony. You thought i was lying?" He explains as he kisses my hand. I felt as if i was on air. As if we were the only people in the world. 

            As we walk up to the balcony, there are white lights everywhere and it makes the fountain in the center light up like a diamond. It was absolutley beautiful. I swear my jaw dropped slightly. 

"Amazing isn't it? Now wait here," He says and it was so cute how excited he was. I giggle at his excitement and wait at the front step. He runs to the fountain and pulls something from behind it but i can't make out what it is. 

        As he runs up to me, he has the biggest grin on his face. Why did he have to be so damn perfect? If only my smile glowed like his did. He pulls out a velvet box. I look up at him with wide eyes and this makes him giggle. Awe he was so cute!!!!! 

          I slowly open the box and in it is a silver chain with a diamond encrested locket on it. 

"Open it," He whispers. I obey him and see a picture of us at summer camp, where we first met. On the other side of locket read , "You and MeI look up at him with tears of happiness at the corner of my eyes. 

"I've been saving it," He whispered. We were now only a few centimeters away from each other and our noses were almost touching. His sweet breath made me feel all warm inside and my stomach did sumersalts. 

"For what?" 

"For when you would finally say you would be mine," he says as he kisses me gently. As he pulls away i nodd. He smiles and helps me put the necklace around my neck. 

               As he kisses me again, all i can think about is how perfect this moment is right now. But in the pit of my stomach, I know this perfect life won't last for long.
