"are you sure this is okay?" i ask my mom, looking around at her. with a huge smile on her face she nods her head.
"you look amazing" she smiles.

today's jacobs party and birthday. it's tuesday today, a strange day to have a house party i guess.

"isn't it a bit strange your tutor invited you to his party?" my mom asks, instantly making me stop in my steps.
"i don't know- maybe he wanted to be nice? and plus i'll have joey i won't be alone." i fake a laugh, hoping my mom will fall for it.
last thing i need is her suspicious.

"he's a nice boy i guess." my mom laughs and i smile at her and nod my head.
"he can be at times" i think to myself and laugh at my own joke.

i look at the time. 7:30pm. joey should be here any minute. he's getting dropped off at mine and we're walking- since jacob doesn't live very far away.

——-

as i walk into the party i realise how many people are actually here.
there's definitely more than the original number of 100- i hardly recognise anyone.

jacob walks towards me as he sees me, making eye contact, he smiles at me.
"i brought the present-" joey walks in the door behind me.
jacob stops in his path, rolls his eyes at me, and turns around, walking back into the living room.

"what's up with him?" joey says, noticing jacob walking away.
"i don't know" i shrug my shoulders and walk into jacobs living room.

the first person i spot is a tall girl, around 5'8 i'd say, brown hair, fake boobs- the total boy magnet i guess.
i look to joey, who's obviously checking her out.
part of me feels jealous- but why should i be? i have jacob (kinda), and joey isn't my boyfriend.

"i'll get us drinks" joey finally speaks, walking towards the kitchen. i nod my head, and watch as he walks off.

across the room i spot him. jacob.
picking up the present joey handed me, i walk towards him.
"jacob" i call out, hoping he'll hear me over the music.
he turns around and his attention now, finally, on me. "hey." he says, getting closer to me.

"happy birthday" i flash my white teeth at him, and pull him into a tight hug.
he hugs me back, wrapping his muscly arms around my small body.
"thank you" he winks at me as we pull out of the hug.

"this.. is for you." i hand jacob the bag i made joey bring here. it's a small red bag, only a couple inches big, with a ribbon on the front.
jacob smiles at me, before attempting to open the bag.

just then, someone bumps right into the back of me. my worst fear at parties.
i feel it in slow motion, the alcohol beverage pours onto my dress- wetting the back.
"no.. no!!" i exclaim, wanting to cry.

"come on, let's get you upstairs" jacob says, taking my hand and dragging me up the stairs of his house.

we walk into his bedroom- a place i've never been before.
"i locked the door so no one could come in here earlier" he laughs, locking the door again behind us as we get inside.

i feel the awkwardness as soon as the door locks. maybe its just me-
"there's a bathroom in there" jacob points to the door at the end of his room.
i nod my head and walk into the bathroom.

i look at my dress in the mirror, turning around the back to try see how it looks.
with my head looking like it's on backwards, finally i see the stain.
i pull the dress off my body, and take off my heels.

placing the dress onto the cabinet, i take a cloth with some water and begin to rub off the alcohol.
"are you oka-" no. no. no, no, no.
"i'm so sorry" jacob says, turning away and walking back out of the bathroom.
i freeze instantly.

he just saw me in my underwear. again.
"it's okay. it's okay" i laugh slightly.

jacob walks back into the bathroom, and looks right at me.
"just because it's okay doesn't mean you can walk back in again" i laugh, covering my stomach with my hands, jacob knows i'm self conscious.

jacob walks closer to me.
"what are you doi-" i freeze instantly.
jacob walks towards me, and i step back. suddenly, my back hits against the sink.

jacob comes even closer to me if possible- his arms on the sink at either side of me.
"do you realise how beautiful you are?" he says to me, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

i feel my cheeks blush, and i can't help but smile.
jacob leans forward to my face, and gently presses our lips together.
i close my eyes, enjoying every second of whats happening.

"wait." i say, stopping jacob from taking things further.
"what?" jacob says, opening his eyes as he steps back from me.
"the present. open it." i speak, walking back towards his room.

"the present?" he questions, picking up the bag.
"open it." i repeat, smiling.
jacob nods his head at me, sitting down on his bed before opening the small red bag.

he pulls out the 3 things inside- a card, some love heart chocolates, and-
"no way." jacob begins to laugh. "is that seriously tickets to see lil yachty in concert?" he looks at me.

i nod my head and smile. "i knew how badly you wanted to go so i thought that tickets would be-"

jacob leans over to me, and connects our lips once again. he lifts his leg over me, and straddles me pushing my body back onto the bed.
lying in my underwear, i feel a shiver down my spine, wether it's the cold or jacob i don't know for sure- but i'm betting my money on jacob.

"you're absolutely irresistible, you do know that?" jacob speaks, disconnecting our lips. he lies his forehead on mine.
"happy birthday j" i say once more, closing my eyes, and connecting our lips once again.

knock. knock.
"charlotte? you in there?" a way too familiar voice calls. jacob sighs, and shakes his head, getting off of me.
"why did you have to bring him?" jacob mouths to me. i roll my eyes at him and stand up.

"uh- too seconds." i call out, running into the bathroom to put my dress on.
