The car journey was underway with an eerie silence, the sun was setting, radiant across Gavin's skin, the temperature was still warm, but I imagined the house to be a sauna. WHY AM I DOING THIS?
"so"
"so" I repeated
"Shall we go in?"
I paused. Frozen, my blood felt cold, and my nerves shaken, this isn't me, I don't get why I'm doing this. He opened the car door and climbed out as I followed, as I got up, I pulled down my dress, ran my hands through my hair and took a mint. I nodded in reply
Locking the car door behind him we rang the door bell, music was beaming from inside, the bass vibrations beneath my feet. When finally, after anxiously waiting for an answer, Alice came to the door, this was the first time I'd ever entered her house, and honestly, it was perfect, a perfectly good place to throw a party, but maybe not one like this.
The house was huge, the hallway was dark with spotlights along the wall and as we entered the living room, my nerve began to build, I could feel cold sweat beading down my back, my face red hot, is it visible?
The room was grand, floor was black marble, the walls a humble red and the sofa, a white leather, holding 7 people, and more in the kitchen.
"Kim, Gavin, this is everybody, everybody, this is Kim and Gavin"
everyone replies with a cheerful murmur, were they drunk already or something? But yes, a lot of these people I had recognised, but never really talked to, I smiled at the group of people as I looked down to the floor, blushing under my curtain of hair. Me and Gav took a seat on one of the other sofas as everyone else gradually resumed to their conversations, he took my hand and then it twitched, I jumped a little, nerve was getting the better of me.
"It's okay, Baby"
I smiled, and brushed the hair slowly out of my face and then accepted his hand.
"Help yourself to drinks" Alice said, as she seated herself on the opposite sofa. So Gavin leaned over the coffee table and grabbed a half bottle of vodka, I guess that answered my last question, most of these people were tipsy. He handed me the little shot glass and my eyes widened, I had never had a drink before, let alone getting drunk, and at a party like this? It wasn't a safe zone.
he nodded and repeated "It's okay, Baby" and whilst he spoke he poured my the vodka and then poured his. The taste was revolting, worse than vomit. I shook my tongue and narrowed my eyes.
"Aww, Kayla, is that seriously the best you can do?"
"She's never had a drink before, Alice"
"Aww bless her"
My face returned crimson, and what made it wose?
...Daniel
He came out from the kitchen with a bottle of Jin in his left hand, and a pre-lit cigarette in the other, I looked down, He actually came? To a party? He was wearing black skinny jeans with a white top and black leather Jacket, he looked down at me, his expression tinted with shock, I felt the need to pull this too-tight dress down, I'm not used to this. Gav threw his arm around me after he realised Daniel's contact with me, and I knew that that didn't stop him looking for a couple of seconds longer than he should have, I've never met someone as risky as him in my life, was it good or bad? I knew he was a bit of a rebel- his gothic music, his cloths, his daringness.
15 minutes later
The room felt a little spiny, the shot glasses have been filled at least 7 times, and the music sounds louder and a little like dub step, if this was what drunk felt like, what did...other things feel like? Everyone look Beautiful! so gorgeous, I'm prepared to throw myself at Gavin right now, and I don't even know why.
"Hungry" I shouted, I think towards Alice
"Fridge" she shouted back
Everyone was up and dancing to the music, and I tried to make a beeline for the kitchen, I spun round enough times to finally locate the fridge, and who was leaning there? ...Well I think it was Dan. I opened the fridge and went through the food stuff, and eventually found something colourful, that must be for the party. I knew Dan was still looking at me, now with a slight smirk on his face.
"Wh-what? You ne-ever seen a drunken girrl before?"
"Of course, but I'd never expect to see you drunk miss Prescott"
Wow, he's had quite a few drinks, and not even remotely tipsy, what's up with this guy? seriously.
"right" and then nodded and took my food out from the fridge.
"You are so drunk" He smiled, funny how all these conversations involve shouting over the music
"Wha-at makes you say thatt?" I said, eating
"...Kayla, you're eating cheese"
"...Ohh"
he took something out the fridge for me instead and I started eating.
"You know you should be with me, right?"
"mm?"
"YOU, KAYLA, SHOULD BE GOING OUT WITH ME"
"Why?"
"Because I can make you into something even more amazing"
"That's what Gavin said, and I'm thinking of being with him, I wannna really relationship, not short one"
"excuse me?"
"yes?"
"Gavin?"
"ye, he's a nice guy, and he really wants me"
"well turn around, you really think he wants you that much?"
I turn around and my heart drops, as does my expression, him, sitting on a sofa, surrounded by girls, the one who dislikes me gave me a sinful look, Gavin had his hand on her leg and his other hand on another girls thigh, and in the corner there was Alice with her new boyfriend making out, but Gavin- He came with me, and all the girls saw, he looks so happy; I know what he's going to do tonight.
"He's drunk, it must happen"
"Kayla, look at yourself, trying to make yourself feel better by lying, I wouldn't do that to you, You're important, and you fascinate me, I want you in my life, and I will protect you, in every way. You will be mine, and I will be watching you, taking care of you and slowly falling in love with you until you accept me, I wouldn't do that to you, I mean look at me, half a bottle of vodka and a few glasses of wine, I'm still me, I still talk fluently, I'm able to say fluently right" he smiles, it makes me feel warm inside, I'd never seen him smile and he looks so much more attractive. But then it slowly drops in a blink of an eye to a cold, serious face, which I found very seductive. "And I will fight him for you"
"What do you want from me?"
"Everything"
he held out his hand, I took it, and he led me upstairs, passing everyone, though they were so drunk they didn't even realise us leaving, I still blushed as we walked by. Why am I doing this?
We went into a large room, with black patterned wallpaper and a light grey wall paint on the rest of the 3 walls, the bed was a king sized balck leather, the carpet was fluffy and red and the room itself was very large, with walk-in-wardrobes.
