Hold Me In Your Everlasting Arms

Part 5: The Party

The rest of the day went by like a dream. A dream that smelled like new pencils and sweaty freshman, or was it me?

I anxiously shook during my study hall, trying to remember the night i spent with him.

I took out my poetry journal and began to jot down everything. By the time i finished i figured out nearly everything.

I had been pregaming with shots at Justin's dorm. Emily was running late, and he was telling me about this girl he was really into, Samantha. . . Jordan. . .  Alyssa? Something like that.

So Emily came and we made our way to the party, which was at some boy Xavier's apartment off campus. We walked in and Justin got us some more shots, and came back with a girl on his arm. "This is Jordan!" he yelled over the beating bass of the music. I smiled and noticed her huge boobs, i looked at Emily but she was already with Rory. I hadn't recognized him.

Justin turned away to talk to Alyssa and I walked over to Emily. "MAUDE MY GIRL" she exclaimed draping her arm over my neck. I was only buzzed then. I laughed and she started swaying, "THIS. . . THIS IS RORY YOU KNOW, THE STUDENT ASSISTANT AT OUR SCHOOL" I half laughed at her but seeing that it was wrong i began to lead her away. "Its fineeeeeeeee" she slurred in my ear. I chugged a beer from someones hand and looked to Justin.

He gave me a wink and led Samantha to a room down a long hallway.

I looked around the small living room trying to find a place to put myself when someone nudged me.

"Come on, i walk into the living room after I grabbed myself a beer only to have it taken away," I embarrassingly turned to look at the boy talking.

His eyes widened and he added, "although, I suppose im not entirely upset."

I noted his features, his preppy outfit went with his golden smirk and piercing eyes.

I smirked half drunkenly and put my arm out.

"You owe me another." He said bending down to kiss my hand. I felt the warmth trickle through me and I suddenly felt drunk.

"Maude!" I yelled and he leaned forward from my hand brushing his lips up my arm until he got to my ear. "Ezra" He whispered. His hot breath left the smell of alcohol on my neck.

I gripped his hand and led him to the strangers kitchen, realizing i didnt even know whos house i was in.

We sat down on two bar stools and i reached over to a keg filling up two  cups for us.

I turned around and saw that he had been watching me the whole time. "Thanks," his voice was sweet and i nearly melted. "Is this your first college party?" a ting of humiliation hit me. "Yeah, im a freshman" i muttered, i remembered feeling stupid but the truth was even worse.

He laughed, "Dont feel bad" his arm wrapped around my waist. "Im a senior." he flexed his free arm, "My hero." I said jokingly swooned.

We sat there and he told me his favorite books and i recited my poetry for him.

Before i knew it he was whispering sweet things in my ear about my giggle and my eyes.

After we finished our beer he said, "You are so beautiful." That was all i needed

I took the initiative and bit his bottom lip before i kissed him fully. He kissed back lifting me onto the bar. I was slightly bending down and he was rubbing his hand on my thigh.

At one point someone yelled for me to get of the bar and i resumed my position, not breaking the kiss.

It seemed like forever before he broke it trailing down my neck, and bringing his hands up my shirt. "Lets go" i whispered and he led me away to. . .

*ding ding*

i hurried and shut my notebook looking around to see if anyone had noticed.

No one was paying attention and i slumped out of my seat, slowly walking to lunch trying to put the last bit of the puzzle together.
