Mistakes ||Sequel to Party||

Charlie's POV:
I'm having a great time and I think Leondre is too. But I can't help but notice how strange Mike is looking at us. I don't wanna say it and I don't think it is that way, but he looks like he's jealous.

We haven't met in many years, but I still think I can read him a bit.
"What is it?" Leondre asks suddenly and I snap out of my thoughts.
"Nothing..." I answer slowly. I look at him and he seems a bit worried.
"You look a bit distracted..." He says and starts to look around insecurely. I know what's going on in his head.
"I promise it's nothing." I reply.

Leo looks a bit sad and I decide that I have to tell him. I don't want him to think anything that isn't true.
"Okay, okay... I don't know, but every time I look up I see Mike look at us." I start and Leondre immediately starts looking around. And when Mike catches both our eyes, he's looking at us this time too. Then after a few seconds he quickly looks away.

"I think he looks jealous." Leo says while turning his head back to me.
"Yeah, that's what I thought too... But I don't know why though..."
"Well, he probably is because you're the hottest guy in here and I swear that everyone would do anything to get in bed with you." Leo says casually like we talked about the weather. I get a bit shocked, but I can't help but let a grin escape my lips.

"Well, first of all; that's not true, 'cause you're the hottest guy in here and don't even try to say anything els-" I start, but immediately get cut off by Leondre.
"No, I'm not."
"Then you're the hottest girl in here." I grin and he laughs. "And second of all; maybe they would do anything, but there's only one person in this room that can get me in bed."

"Who?" Leondre asks a bit surprised. I roll my eyes.
"You, dumbass." I say.
"Oh... Well, that's pretty cool." He grins and we keep dancing.
Mike keeps looking at me and after a while it starts creeping me out. And it's like he moves closer to us for every minute that pass.

Leondre's POV:
After about half an hour, me and Charlie get off the dance floor, exhausted. We walk into the living room, the only place where you don't have to scream to drown out the music.
"I'm just gonna get another beer." I tell him. "Do you want anything?"
"No, I'm good." He answers and sits down on the couch while I walk out to the loud music again. I wonder what Charlie's neighbors think about this... I walk past dancing young adults, people that are drinking beer, people who are just talking, and into the kitchen where I see Harvey and his girlfriend, Mia.

As soon as I get there, I see Mike too, who seemed to be a pretty good friend with Charlie. Him and Harvey are talking. I immediately walk backwards before they can see me and eavesdrop just around the corner. I know you shouldn't, but I think I heard them mention a familiar name...

"Damn, Charlie has become really hot now." Mike says.
"He's always been hot." Harvey answers a bit confused.
"Yeah, but still..." Mike replies, sounding a bit unsure of what to say.
"Wait, Mikey..." Harvey suddenly whisper/scream. "Do you like him?!"

"I don't know... Maybe a little..." Mike answers slowly. I have to place my hand over my mouth to not gasp. He's in love with my boyfriend?!
"Mikey! You can't! He already has a boyfriend and they are really happy together, you can't destroy this!" Harvey whisper/shout upset.
"I know, I know... I just..."

I can't stand hearing anything else, so I decide to walk in casually to the kitchen.
"Hey Leo!" Harvey says loudly with a big smile, like he's signaling to Mike that I'm here. And he immediately falls silent.
"Hey." I answer shortly. "Do we have any beer left?"
"Yeah, the fridge is full." Harvey replies while I'm walking over to it. I'm thinking of confronting Mike, and I'm actually really close to do it. But that will probably only cause a lot of trouble... And after all it's my birthday so I should probably just chill.

I open the fridge, grab a beer and walk out of the kitchen again. I walk back into the living room and sit down beside Charlie who is talking with some friends, I think. I don't know them.

Harvey's POV:
"I know, I know... I just-" Mikey starts, but suddenly I see Leondre walking into the kitchen. My eyes wide and I quickly interrupt Mikey by talking very loudly while greeting Leo as a signal that he should stop talking.
"Hey Leo!" I say, very loud, like 'most people probably think I'm drunk' - loud. But I ain't. Yet.
"Hey." He answers shortly and walk over to the fridge without looking up at us.

"Is there any beer left?" He asks while giving me a quick look before looking away again.
"Yeah, the fridge is full." I reply and he immediately opens it, grabs a beer and walks out of the kitchen without saying anything else.

Both me and Mikey stand there quiet for a few seconds, both to make sure he's really gone and I think we're both pretty shocked of what just happened.

"Do you think he heard...?" Mikey suddenly asks slowly after a while.
"Definitely."
