To Be Free

I See Your True Colors

"P-p-party?!" Sebastian stuttered while I drug him out of my car and into the white mansion with music pouring out of it. I needed a release and I wasn't scheduled to fight for the rest of the month in order to perfectly heal my nose, so I figured, why not?

"Yes dummy, a party. Here you can get completely wasted, dance on top of a table, and screw someone in the bathroom all in a matter of three hours, and not one person will bat an eye."

He started straightening out his shirt that I picked out for him and attempted to pull the black jeans away from his legs. Although I hated to admit it, for being what I thought was a scrawny little nerd boy, he was pretty well muscled, and the clothing I had purchased him fit great.

I opened the door and the sweet, sweet smells of alcohol, sweat, and cigarettes wafted towards me. Sebastian scrunched his nose up in distaste which caused me to chuckle.

"What's wrong baby boy? You scared?" I taunted.

"What the frick frack Kat? What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing. I'm perfect actually. As a matter of fact, I'm going to get us some drinks."

  He said nothing, but his eyes narrowed in annoyance and his teeth sucked his lip up to chew at it. I left him standing there and went to the first kitchen I could find. I poured two glasses of rum and coke, leaving Sebastian's weaker than normal.

As I passed by a crowd playing spin the bottle, they yelled out because apparently it landed on me.

"Aye blondie! Bottle landed on you! Come on over here!" A boy shouted.

I smirked and began to walk towards them. The boy who had to kiss me looked like he was straight out of a bad boy book. Dark and messy hair, tattoos, piercings, and muscles. Some really, really great muscles.

He stood up to meet me halfway, placing one hand on my hip and the other on my jaw to pull my face to his. His lips sealed over my own and the kiss went from surface and juvenile to serious real fast. This boy was a fantastic kisser. We pulled away when his friend cleared his throat.

He stepped back, winked at me and sat down. Yummy.

I continued on my way as if nothing had happened to find Sebastian being hit on by three very, very intoxicated women, and yes, I said women because they were all well into their twenties.

"Thank god." Seb muttered upon my arrival.

"Hey babe, I'm back." I said wrapping my arms around Sebastian's waist. I kissed the corner of his mouth, causing him to inhale deeply.

"Oh yes, hello girlfriend that I am dating."

I kicked him in the shin discreetly, "Isn't this a great party for us to celebrate one year of our relationship?"

"Yes girlfriend. It's great!"

The women walked away, sighing dramatically.

Sebastian turned to me, still a little pale from the encounter, "Thanks Kat, I was ready to pull the gay card."

I snickered in response and shoved the moderately spiked drink in his direction. He skeptically sniffed it, raising an eyebrow at me as if to ask if it was okay.

"Just drink." I ordered.

That seemed to be enough for him because not even an hour later he was singing karaoke with some frat boys.

"Annnnnnd IIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIII will always love yooooooooouuuuuuu." He screeched into the microphone. I was surprised the speakers on my phone hadn't cracked while I recorded the beautiful future blackmail in front of me.

I left Sebastian to do this thing, but kept him in my general line of sight. That is, until a warm hand found it's way to my lower back.

"Well hello Mr. kisser,"I stated, turning around to see the boy from earlier.

"Ahh mí amor, tú es muy bonita." He leaned in and whispered. Goosebumps rose across the surface of my arms where his hands had suddenly found their way to. He drew small patterns across my skin with his thumbs.

His lips landed lightly on my neck, causing me to inhale sharply. His hands switched from my arms to my waist. His fingers played with the seam on the side of my dress, pushing the whole thing up my legs a bit.

Our lips collided in some weird dance that I let him lead me in. I noticed his breath smelled like spearmint. My brain soon faded from his face to a certain nerd's. I continued to kiss him even though it wasn't the hot guy's face I was seeing.

"Kat! What the hell?" Sebastian yelled suddenly yelled.

I opened and closed my eyes trying to clear my vision. Hot guy was staring at me and I realized it wasn't him anymore... It was Sebastian.

"Kat, I'm ready to go home now."

----
He didn't speak to me the whole ride to his house, and me turning up the radio to fill our awkward silence didn't help... Especially not when One Last Kiss came on. No, I hadn't kissed him.

Maybe not, but you sure imagined it...

God subconscious me, can't I catch a break?

Not when you keep screwing up so badly.
---
We arrived at his house close to midnight, and he stormed out of the car without a word.

I watched his retreating form absently; trying to convince myself he was okay. I looked up to the open glass window by the front door and my eyes fell upon the silhouette of Sebastian's mother. Her arms were crossed and she was mumbling something I did not hear at the time, but Sebastian told me later.

"Ohhhhh Seb, you hooked yourself a heartbreaker."
