Some people were eating small cakes or chips. A few people were already drunk and were kissing without embarrassment. In the center of the living room around a coffee table regrouped Taner, Josh, Vanessa, Tara, Lorie, Isabelle, Bettany, William, Mike, Peter and Jared. The first to see us was William. He whistled wich caught the eye of others on us. Vanessa didn't like the way Jared was looking at me. Taner looked at me proudly. Josh was looking at Taylor the same way.

Taylor arched satisfied and sat on Josh's knees. I just sat next to Taner who put an arm around my shoulders. He stank of alcohol but he wasn't drunk. We were talking when Taylor who was kissing Josh exclaimed:


"That's my favorite song!"


She leaped on her legs and stared at me. I smiled and followed her to the dancefloor. We jumped while shouting the lyrics.

We swayed ourselves carried away by the music. Some guys didn't linger to surround us. At the beginning they just danced around us but when they started to get closer, Taner and Josh appeared at our side and the boys disappeared. Taner took me by the waist and we danced while the music became slower.

Suddenly he whispered to my ear:


"There are empty rooms upstairs..."


I rejected him by reflex and blushed despite me.


"I prefer to stay here..."


He blew irritated and disappointed. He left the dancefloor and I followed him.


"Taner!"


But he continued his race without turning around. I passed in front of the stairs and I stopped when I saw Caleb.


"Caleb! Finally you came!

-Well, a certain person wanted me to come and I didn't want to disappoint her."


A big smile took place on my face. I was so happy to see him!


"Especially when she greets me like that..."


He looked at my outfit.
