It was close to fall, and the two sat outside in the freezing cold. Nick took off his blazer and wrapped it over Selena as she was cringing from the breeze each time it hits her.

"This is not okay, I rather eat in the bathroom," Selena cursed, as she puts a crab cake into her mouth. Feeling the savoury crab melt into mouth, everything came down fine again.

"At least we get fresh air," Nick hugged himself taking in another crab cake.

"It's not okay to be this cold," she stammers, shifting from foot to foot.

They spent the minutes outside chucking on the delicious crab cakes until the tray of 20 became empty and Nick and Selena were ready to barf their intesteins. Just as they fell back to relief their full stomachs they heard security shooing the smokers to go back inside for the party.

"Shit," Nick cursed, he grabbed Selena by her forearm to a hidden space behind the doors. He pressed her against the cold stone walls as they heard the security walk closer to the barricade.

Selena watched as Nick's pair of worried eyes watched behind her for security. Suddenly she felt a buzzing feeling like butterflies in her stomach. She knew from the beginning how handsome Nick was, but he looked super hot right then and there.

And for the first time, it made her nervous. Maybe it was because Nick never brought her so close to him before, but it was a strange feeling.

"Coast clear!" He heard one of the security say, as they descended from the barricade. It scared Selena out of her thoughts when hearing the men shout.

"God..." Nick breathed in relie, walking back out. He helps Selena back out of the small gap to the door. They walked back in with the tray.

"That was so exciting, did you feel the adrenaline rush?!" Selena beams carrying the tray to the kitchen.

Nick stammers still feeling his heart race, "I felt like, they were going to murder us if they saw us."

"Your parents are the host of this party, why will you be scared?" She smirks, then finding Kevin and Danielle by the dancefloor. Selena runs over excitedly. 

Nick just follows, it was hard to find her in this crowded room. The people stopped him midway, as he tried to reach Selena and his brother and Danielle. The cluster of people got him stuck asking him questions. 

Meanwhile Selena stood by Danielle and Kevin making small conversations.

"How do yo do this?" Selena whined as she tilt her head on Danielle's shoulder.

Danielle just laughs, "Aw, poor Selly."

"Trust me, we don't, these dress shoes are just as awful as your heels," Kevin added, drinking from his champaigne.

Selena pouted, "These heels are killing."

"It's not that bad, by the way you're looking great," Danielle smiles at her softly, drinking some more.

"I thought you said you're going home early to hand out candy," Selena popped her head up.

"You are my saviour," Danielle cried, as she turned to Kevin, "Babes, remember the kids that want the candy? Let's head home."

"What?!" Selena whines, flinging her hands, "You're ditching me?"

Kevin shot a grin at her, "You can always go home to hand out your own candy."

"We live in a condo," making Selena glare at him. 

"Way to run off," Nick huffs, joining them with a heavy sigh.

Kevin and Danielle grins, looking at how close Nick and Selena were, looking like an actual date. Although they were in this occasion. 

"See ya bro," Kevin patted Nick on the shoulder as him and Danielle linked in arms walked away from them.

Nick just nods, turning over to Selena, "Please help me out of here."

"When I can take my heels off, sure," Selena growns, shifting from foot to foot for balance. Those heels anchored the heel of her foot and it killed, they were sore and red.

Nick laughs but he quiets and turns bloodshot when he saw the person standing before him.
