It was Saturday and I was scared as shit.
"Are you almost ready?."
"Yeah! Just give me a second." I looked at myself in the mirror. I was never really that big on makeup but I settled with some mascara and nude lipstick. I threw on my dark grey jeans and a black crop top with a white kiss mark in the middle and then a white sweater, and white allstarz. It's probably not good to wear white to this party but at this point I don't really care. I grabbed my phone and slipped into my back pocket and headed toward the living room.
I twirled and gave a few poses.
"So, how do I look mademoiselle?"
She smiled
"Oh fabulous darling."
She flipped her hair and gave me a devious look causing us to both to burst into small giggles.
"Alright let's go." She said and I followed right behind her.

"Do I really have to go?" I asked
"Well duh, we're already here silly come on."
We got out of the car and the cold air nipped at my skin causing a few goosebumps to arise. I pulled my sweater closer to me as we began walking to the front door of the house. There were a few people sitting on the porch, there weren't drunk but they did have drinks in there hand as they talked. Maybe this party wasn't going to be like what I thought. I could hear music coming from inside as we approached the door but it wasn't to loud. The door swung open before Julia could reach for the handle. A tall and very nicely tanned boy with a tight grey shirt and jet black hair came out, a girl following behind him.
"Zayn?" Julia said
"Hey! Julia." He gave her a quick side hug.
"Here for the party huh?"
"What other reason would I be here?" She said and they both chuckled, then his eyes traveled to me.
"And who's this?"
He looked to me.
"This is Melanie." Julia said
I gave a small smile and placed out my hand which he took.
"My name is Zayn."
"Hi." I said back before placing my hand back at my side.
"Wait, you must be Liam's girl right?"
My eyes widen and I felt all the blood rush to my face.
"Uh-um."
"Yes she's Liam's girl." Julia answered for me.
"He's in the kitchen." He says to me with a smile. Before saying goodbye and walking off with the girl.
I slapped Julia's arm.
"What the hell was that?"
She rubbed her arm but kept that stupid smirk on her face.
"I was making it official, you already know that it was going to happen."
I rolled my eyes.
"Text me when you're ready to leave, I'm going to go find Louis."
"Wait-"
But she was already gone into the crowd. I let out a tough breath and began walking well trying to make my way to the kitchen as warm bodies were clashing against each other almost knocking me down a few times.
I was finally able to squeeze through and make it to the kitchen to only find out that it wasn't that much better. I looked around and spotted Liam leaning over the counter as he poured a drink. I let out another huff of breath before walking over to him.
Am I really doing this?
"Hi Liam."
I say as he turns to me immediately smiling which was so contagious I couldn't help but give him that same excitement back.
"I'm glad you came." He says as my eyes travels to his lips as I watch him slowly lick them.
"Y-yeah." I bet I'm as red as a tomato Goddamn it.
"Do you want a drink?" He asks
"Oh no I'm fine." But I was already too late he was already pouring it.
"Here you'll like it I promise."
He hands me the cup and I took it. It was red like fruit punch and smelled like it too.
"Go on try it." He says.
I lift the cup up to my lips and take a sip. There was a slight burning in the back of my throat as I swallowed but it really didn't taste bad at all, In fact it did taste like fruit punch with an extra...punch. I gulped that down quickly I had a rush of energy all of a sudden.
"Can I have another one?" I ask and he smiles at me.
"Sure."
He pours me another cup.
And another.
And another.
Now my head is spinning, but I have so much energy. I looked around my vision was blurry. I felt a hand snake around me to rest on my lower back pulling me closer until our noses were touching. His skin is so soft.
"Dance with me baby." My skin tingled at hearing his new nickname for me. His voice was husky but smooth, sending jolts of electricity through me.
I followed his lead from the safety of the kitchen into the heated crowd that I had battled through earlier only my feelings toward it were different now Once we got far enough into the crowd a slow and steady song played. I had never really danced with a guy before, anyone actually at least not how we were going too.
He clamped both of his hands onto my waist rubbing soothing circles into them. And I wrapped my arms his neck as we stepped side to side. After a while our bodies began getting closer and closer until I was able to rest my forehead with his. I closed my eyes as I was still a little dizzy from all the drinks. I felt as his hands turned me around so that my back was to him. He once again wrapped his arms around my torso and pulled me firmly against him.
"You dance so well baby." I hear him say but his voice was much deeper now and raspy. I smiled as I leaned my head back to rest in his chest, my eyes still closed.
"Melanie!" I popped open my eyes to see who had called my name, although my vision was a little blurry.
"Come on babe we're leaving." I finally realized that it was Julia as she tugged on my arm. She was moving a little too fast I tried to say goodbye to Liam but at this rate that was nearly impossible.
"Are you drunk?" She asked
"I guess." I say as I hiccup god how many drinks did I have?
"Yup you're drunk. Good thing I'm sober." She says.
We get I to the car, my head's still spinning so I close my eyes, squeezing them shut hopping it'll just go away.
"Let's gets you home." Is all I hear before I fall asleep.
