Under the Moonlight

Chapter 33

"Come on girls" we heard Nate yelling from downstairs. 

Me and Maria were in my room getting ready for Jackson's birthday party. Nate and Taylor were waiting for us downstairs. My parents and my aunt were having some dinner with friends outside, so we were home alone.
"Vanessa come on" Maria said to me "You are making that hair for an hour" she said.
"But this is real mess" I said still trying to fix my hair.

"It's not" she said. "You look beautiful" she said and took my arm and dragged me out of the room.

"Wait a minute" I said and looked at her. "Let me see you good" I said and looked at her. "Let's remember this night, we both look hot" I said and smiled.

We went downstairs and we left the house with Taylor and Nate.
We went at Jackson's apartment. The party was there.

"Who he invited?" I asked when we arrived in front of the building.

"the whole school" Nate said. It was pretty noisy. A loud music was coming from the apartment and i could say there were a lot of people inside.
We opened the door and we all smiled when we saw a lot of people inside, dancing and drinking.

"High school party" Taylor said "Perfect" he laughed and I couldn't not to laugh too.

"Hey Nate" a girl came closer to us and spoke to Nate. She obviously wanted to flirt with him.

Nate awkwardly smiled at her and she left.
Maria looked at Nate and smiled in not believing.

"I don't even know her" he said to her and Maria looked away.

"I am hearing some interesting talk." she said "looks like the blond one there" she said and looked at few girls standing on the other side of the room. There was some blond girl looking at us.
"I can't hear it though" I said and looked at Maria.

"She says Nate texted her because he likes her" Maria said and looked at me. Nate and Taylor were listening to it too. They all could hear the talk but me.

"It was month ago" Nate said and tried to explain it to her.
"So it was after I was turned into a werewolf" Maria said to Nate. Nate just looked confused like counting the days and looked at Maria.

"I..." Nate tried to talk but he stopped and looked down.

"Amazing" Maria said and faked a smile. She started going toward Jackson. I followed her. We wished him happy birthday and Maria went toward the bedroom.
"Wait." I said to her. She looked nervous. I closed the door behind me and tried to talk with her. In one moment the door opened and Nate came in.

"Let's go" he said to Maria.

"Yeah, I thought the same" she said and faked a smile.

"Come on. Let's don't act like kids" he said to her and got closer to her. He took her hand.
"Don't touch me" she said nervously. "let's go" she added. I realized even when she was trying to act like she didn't want to talk, she really wanted.

They both left and I got back at the party. I found Taylor. He was holding a glass in his hand.

"Are we getting wasted tonight?" I asked him laughing. I saw he was drinking beer.

"I am totally getting wasted. I don't know about you" he smiled. "what do you want to drink?" he asked me.
"I don't drink beer, so I'll just drink water" I said and smiled.

He filled my glass with water.
"Nate and Maria left right?" he asked me.

"Yeah. They are complicated" I said.

"I love that we are not" he said and got closer to me. He kissed me.

"Maybe" I said and smirked.
"I'll just ignore this" he said as he put his glass on the table and kissed me again.
"Well I feel a bit shy, because all school is watching at me making out with my boyfriend on some party" I whispered to Taylor in one moment.
"You are right." He said as he kissed me one last time. "Let's go and find Jackson or any of the boys" he said.
At the end we finished talking with Jackson, Chuck and Se of their classmates from the school. It was funny. It was typical high school party. A lot of games were played and a lot of people got wasted.
The party was still going on and midnight passed. I didn't want to come late home.
"I need to go home. I told dad I'll come back early" I said to Taylor.
"I'll take you then" he said "even when I want to be with you tonight" he whispered close to my ear.
"You can come over anytime" I said and smiled at him.
"Still don't want to have problems with Nate. He is always freaking me out with his pranks and stuff" Taylor said. "But I'll pay some day. I'll find a way to be every night in your room" he said and raised my eyebrows.
"Wow. That's ambitious." I said seriously and we both laughed.
"Let's go" I smiled and after we took our jackets we both left the party.
