A New Year Kiss

Chapter 2

By the time Juliet and I get to Nate's house my feet are throbbing and I'm pretty sure Im going to have blisters in the morning.

"Just to let you know, I hate you right now." I pant to Juliet, wincing as I walk up Nate's steps.

"No you don't. Just wait, you'll love me." Juliet pants back, I shoot her a glare and let her ring the door bell, hoping that nobody hears it.

Where we parked the car you could hear music a half a block down, so by the time we got to Nate's door the music is so loud it vibrates through my chest. I'm pretty sure I'm going to me half def by the time I drag Juliet out of here.

"Hello ladies." A sleazy football player says after throwing open the huge door. I cringe back when I see his eyes slide over my body, like I'm a price of meat and he's been starving for days.

"Hey Jerry, can we come in?" Juliet purrs, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder in order to give him a better view of her barley covered size D breast. So this is how she gets into parties, flashes a little skin, maybe flirts a little until who ever at the door lets her in.

"I suppose so, as long I get a dance with both of you fine ladies." Jerry says, sliding his eyes once more down my body. I put on a smile, hoping it don't look like a grimace and sliding past him and Juliet.

"You can count on it." Juliet purrs before following me inside. I look back at her for a second before walking down the small hall. On the left is a doorway, I look around the corner to see body press upon body as they dance and grind to a song playing over the speakers. By the wall, in front of the window I spot a white couch moved against the wall to make room for a dance floor. I almost laugh when I see some half drunk blonde girl flop down and spill a red drink on her bare legs, the couch and the guy sitting next to her.

Damn, I bet that's going to hard for the maid service to clean that up in the morning, I think, a small smirk making its way to my face.

"Hey, come with me to get a drink." Juliet says, tugging on my hand. I flash her a smile and follow her further down the hall and into the kitchen.

Less people are in here but some mingle as the pour drinks into their red cups. A huge island counter top is covered in different types of alcohol, ranging from beer to vodka and even scotch.

"What do you want?" Juliet ask, dragging me over to the island and leaning across it to get to cups.

"Um, coke." I say, spotting a case of red coke cans by the vodka.

"Your not getting coke unless you put some type of alcohol in it." Juliet says, giving me a no-argument-needed look. I shrug my shoulders and watch her fill my cup with vodka and a little bit of coke.

"That's more alcohol than coke!" I say, taking her empty cup and poor the rest of the coke in there and splashing in a small amount of vodka. "You know I don't like drinking." I says, shooting her a bad look and taking a sip of my drink. I wince when the liquid slides down my throat, burning its way to my stomach. Ew.

I watch Juliet over the rim on my plastic cup, seeing her twirl her hair and wink at some guy across the counter. I flick my eyes over to see Nate and his best friend Jamie watching us. I see Jamie flash a smile and a wink back at Juliet before whispering something in Nate's ear an heading over here.

"Oh look, Nate's looking at you." Juliet whispers, her breath smelling like a mint and vodka.

"I know, I saw you flirting with his friend Jamie." I say, shrugging my shoulders and taking a sip of my drink. I make a face and turn around just as Jamie slides between Juliet and I, his back towards me. I sigh and spot an open door on the side of the house, laughter filtering it's way through the doorway.
