Innocence Lost

Party Time

"Dang where are we supposed to park?" I asked Rach as we pulled up to Kara's house.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, I think I'll just part here." Rach shrugged while parking a couple houses down. 

As we both got out of the car, I took a deep breath. I was wearing a backless maroon body suite with short black shorts, ankle boot heels and a tiny lace thong. With that my hair was curled perfectly and my face was caked in make up. I covered my boobs with my arms, feeling as if I wasn't even wearing a shirt, and walked to the house with Rach. 

"OH MY GOSH LOOK WHO'S HERE EVERYONE!!!" My friend Kara screamed. 

Everyone's heads snapped in my direction, making me feel even more self conscious. 

"Uhh.." I stuttered and Rachel nudged me, "umm WHO'S READY TO PARTY?!" I nervous exclaimed.

Everyone shouted in approval and I was led to the backyard were even more people took a double look seeing me at the party. I was so uncomfortable but I made a deal with my best friend and I wasn't about to break it. My friend Neveya grabbed my arm and dragged me through the back yard to the shots table. She filled to shot glasses and said bottoms up. Without thinking I grabbed the cup and felt the liquor burn my throat. Ahhh, that felt good, finally letting loose. As people saw me, they wanted to take shots with me, but after six I couldn't do anymore. 

Later that night after people filtered out, there were about fifteen of us at Kara's house. We all went into the living room and sat on the floor or on the couches. Marcos turned the music down and asked us all the play Suck and Blow. We all sat in a circle alternating genders, except for Rachel and Kara, they had to sit next to each other because of the uneven amount of people. The card started with Kara and worked its way around the circle until it was between the person next to me and the person next to him. As he turned to give me the card, I couldn't help but stare at the god in front of me. 

JAMES FREAKING JAXON. James had been my childhood crush that had never gone away. His perfectly tanned skin seemed to glisten in the light while his dark black hair was slightly messed up but couldn't look more perfect. His hazel eyes were staring at my lips and his muscles in his arms were flexed as he leaned over me. This was it, my crush finally wanted to kiss me. I puckered my lips and closed my eyes as his face crashed into mine. Everyone was laughing as I realized that the card had dropped and I didn't even try. I excused myself to Kara's bedroom, mortified. I found myself a new bottle of vodka in the kitchen on the way there and swiped it from the counter. A while after, Kara came into the room and told me they were going to play a new game. By that time, I was so wasted that I couldn't remember why I was in her room in the first place. As Kara led me back to the living room, everyone cheered again.

"Alright," Maria interrupted, "let's play thirty minutes in heaven. It's like seven minutes in heaven, but for longer. I will be the timer and all of the girls will randomly disperse into rooms. Once they are there, they will have to blindfold themselves. After five minutes, I will assume the girls are ready, and then send the boys off. The time will start five minutes after that. Everyone ready?"

"YES!" everyone shouted.

All of the girls found a room and I was left with the kitchen. I found myself a dish towel, sat on a stool and let my world go black. After what felt like an eternity, I heard the boys wandering around. It seemed as though they had already chosen who they wanted. I was easy to spot as they all said, "Go get her."

"You really need to work on your Suck and Blow skills." I heard a voice say from behind me as arms pulled me off of the stool.

My heart dropped. I knew exactly who it was by the sound of his voice.
