Any Better

Party

Holding hands, we arrive at the party. As soon as we step into the backyard full of people, we were handed drinks.

We glance at each other and tap our plastic cups together and take a long sip.

"Woah, that's strong." Malcolm shrieks, with a yucky face. "Really?" I laugh. "Mines quite subtle."

"What? Lemme try."

I hand him my drink and he hands his to me. We sip each other's, and have the same reaction.

"This isn't subtle at all! This is still strong..!" He complains.

"This is still subtle to me!" We laugh. We toss our drinks in the trash and walk into the open garage.

There were plenty of drunk people in there, and they'd stare us down as we walk in. Malcolm and I walked to the other side where there were a few couches spread around. We sat right beside each other. He had his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. He sang me 'Wake Me Up.'

"But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up."

It was about 1am when we decided to head back to our dormitory. I was half asleep, and Malcolm lifted me up so he was carrying me like a baby.

We got into our room and he put me on my bed. I fell asleep in his arms. I was out like a light.

I wake up at 6am with him beside me. I smile and snuggle closer too him. But I notice I'm not in my clothes, I'm in my pyjamas.

He changed my clothes.

He saw me naked.

"Malcolm!" I whisper, trying to wake him up. "Mm, what is it..?" He yawns. "You changed my clothes!" I say, louder this time. "What? Is that a bad thing?" He asks, sitting up. "Well, no, but you saw me naked!" I gawk. He smirks and pats my face. "I did, but it was for a good reason." He laughs. I chuckle and get out of bed.

"Hey Beth, I wanna take you somewhere." Malcolm says, kissing me on the cheek. "Where?" I ask, pulling myself away and grabbing some cold pizza from the fridge. "It's a surprise! I can't tell you!" He continues. I smile and get dressed for class.
