I pressed myself through the crowd of sweaty bodies towards the kitchen to get something to drink. It took me a while to get through but when I finally made it, I took a cup and filled it up with some beer.

I wouldn't drink too much today but I also didn't want to miss the feeling of the light tipsiness I loved so much.

"There you are", Collin smiled when his head popped up next to me. "Lilian and Amber just arrived", he told me and I thanked him with a quick nod.

I quickly chucked down my cup and made my way back out of the kitchen. Again I felt the sweaty bodies against mine when my eyes searched for the pretty dark head.

It took some time until I found her but when I finally did a grin started to spread over my lips. She looked stunning. She wore a pretty white dress that on the top showed of the curve of her upper body and spread out on her hips. With her hair pulled back in a dark wavy ponytail the big statement necklace around her small neck stood out. Her face was covered in a thin layer of rosy makeup that got her blue eyes to shine even brighter. Thanks to her white lace high heels she was as tall as me now since I was wearing flat shoes.

A few seconds before I could reach her her eyes met mine. They didn't stay long there when her gaze wandered over my body and for a second I felt self-conscious. I wore a black loose dress and my red lipstick was the only colored thing on me. I took a deep breath and earned back my confidence.

"Like what you see?", I asked when I finally reached her. My voice was loud enough to be heard over the music but still reached only Lilian's ears. "I do", she grinned back and I laughed a little, surprised by her openness.

"You want to grab something to drink?", I asked her.

"Nah, thanks I'm good", she smiled back. "But I would like to go outside?", it was more a question so I nodded and took her hand so we wouldn't loose each other when pressing to the crowd to get outside. Her hand was warm and soft and fitted perfectly into mine. I tingly feeling reached trough my arm but I tried to ignore it.

When we reached the backyard we went to a bench a few feet away from everyone else. The loud music could still be heard but it felt way more silent then anywhere else on this party. We sat down and I could feel Lilian closer to me than it would have been needed but of course I didn't mind.

"Where is Amber?", I suddenly asked her since I haven't seen her best friend yet.

Lilian just shrugged. "Not sure, she went to look for Bastian, I guess."

I smiled at the thought. Bastian could need someone as nice and smart as Amber. "She likes him?"

A small smile spread across Lilian's soft rosy lips and suddenly I wanted to kiss her so bad. "Yeah, she does."

"Lilian", suddenly a male voice said and we looked up. Karter was walking towards us. When I saw him I felt like vomiting. Not only because he was a dick for what he did to Lilian but also because the thought that he has touched Lilian the way I haven't mad me enormously jealous. Of course I knew that it was absolutely over with him but still.

"What do you want Karter?", Lilian sounded annoyed and also a little bit tired something that hasn't been in her voice a few seconds ago.

"Can we talk alone?", Karter asked, now standing in front of us. When saying this his eyes went towards me asking me to leave. "No, thank you, I would like to stay", my voice was cold not allowing any disagreeing. Maybe I should have left them alone but that second my whole body refused to leave Karter alone with the girl I liked so much.

Lilian didn't seem to mind me staying since she didn't ask me to leave.

When Karter realized that I would stay he seemed to just decide to ignore me.

"Lil, please, I want you back. I am so sorry for what happened but I still love you, so please", his voice was broken and he literally begged her to take him back. Jealousy flooded my thoughts but I remained silent. This was not my conversation and it wasn't my decision to make. All I could do was to hope that Lilian would say no to him.

"Did you break up with Riley?", Lilian asked him back and pain flooded my heart. She didn't say no. Does she want him back? I knew that she wasn't completely over him, so would she take him back instead of being with me? Maybe I was just some experimenting and Karter was the real thing.

"Not yet, but I swear I will!", he told her. He still sounded like a begging dog and if I wouldn't have been so scared of Lilian's answer I would have probably shaken my head about his behavior.

"Don't", Lilian said coldly. "What?", Karter asked surprised.

"Don't break up with her. I know, you waited for my answer so you wouldn't have no-one. My answer is no, I am over you Karter and now leave."

A breath I didn't know that I held it left my lungs.

"But ... but I want you not Riley!", Karter kept going. I swear if that guy wouldn't stop now, I am going to punch him in the face.

"Sorry, Karter, but I'm over you. Plus I am taken", she told him and my eyes snapped towards her. Did she really just say that? I'm sure she just made that up to get rid of him... or did she... mean me?

Karter seemed as shocked as I was that moment. "You are?"

Lilian's gaze left Karter and fell on me and it seemed as if she was talking with me. "Yes, and I am very happy with her" And suddenly her lips were on mine. It took me a second to let it register into my had that LILIAN was kissing ME right in front of KARTER. She started to move her lips and when I recognized her soft lips and the sweet taste my eyes fluttered close and Karter was forgotten. The kiss was slow and careful. Both of us to afraid to scare the other one of. Still it felt great. Slowly her hands made their way to my neck while mine lay on her hips. I didn't pull her closer and I also didn't push her away, I just held her.

The kiss seemed to take a while. What only felt like seconds were probably one or two minutes because when we parted there stood no Karter anymore.

Lilian's blue eyes were locked on my dark grey ones, our faces still close, our brains still caught in the moment, but when her gaze dropped to my lips she started to laugh. I was confused but when I saw her lips I had to grin as well. Our lipsticks were mixed on each others lips what didn't only look messy but also very weird.

Lilian pulled some tissues from her rosy purse and gave one to me while she started to wipe the mess on her lips away.

"Who tells those lies about kissing proof lipstick?", she asked still laughing and I joined in also starting to wipe my lips.

"I have no idea!"

Uhhhh
