Chapter 7

MITCH POV:

Friday Afternoon.

March the 12th.

Bored as fuck.

I was laying in the couch, my head on the armrest. I was going through Twitter and leaving people confused with tweets that only i got. Some replied to me and tried to guess what i said but failed. Some of them were hilarious, i even cried of laughter. Right when i was about to reply to Kirstie, who had mentioned me, i received a text.

I tapped the notification and read the text.

"Hey"

I was confused, i didn't recognise the number.

"Who are you?" I texted back.

"You'd already forgotten me? I thought we had a really good time yesterday."

"Hi Scott, what's up?" Right, i forgot i had given him my number.

"My friend Kevin throws a party tonight and i thought that you could come with me"

Before i could type any letter Scott added.

"As friends of course. You don't have to come if you don't want to"

I hesitated for a minute but finally i agreed. Scott would come to fetch me at 21:00 pm in his car, it was 19:00 now so i stood up and went to bath.
This was a great opportunity to see who Scott hangs out with. Besides i needed to do something to distract myself for a while.

I dressed myself with black skinny jeans - as always - black boots and a white shirt which had golden patches on the shoulders and black stripes on the rest of it. I went to the kitchen and had a glass of water, my throat was dry as i forgot to drink during lunch. I was in a hurry, Kirstie wanted me to help her pick a cute dress for her friend's party.

Half an hour later Scott texted me that he was about to arrive. I grabbed his jacket, which i planned on giving it back today, and went downstairs to wait for him.
He parked in front of the building 5 minutes later. He exited the car and crossed the road to say hello to me. He was wearing black pants also and a plaid blue-red shirt. He walked fast towards me and when he was nearer he leaned in for a hug which i gladly accepted.

I followed him to the car and soon we were both on our way to the party.

"So where is it?" I asked him once we were a couple of blocks away from my house.

"Just a few more blocks and we will be there" He never stopped smiling. I found that amusing, he was always in a good mood. Anywhere he went, he spread positivity.

It seemed as no one could get angry with him. Except maybe Joe. I laughed when i remembered it, he was so angry until a point were his face was red.

"What?" He asked.

"I was just thinking about Joe's expression when you didn't show up"
I laughed more and turned my head to look at him. He just grinned and parked the car.

We got out of the car and went for the front door. It was open and some young people were already making the line for the elevator, but Scott guided me to the opposite direction. We went past the reception and turned left. We were in front of a big emergency door which Scott pulled open and revealed a stairway.

"It's faster this way" He said. It may be faster but after the 3rd floor my legs were almost burning. Finally, on the 5th floor, Scott stopped and opened a small dark brown door and soon the smell of alcohol invaded my nostrils.

We entered the room. It was crowded, at least 50 people were inside. Some of them were making out against the wall while others were laughing hysterically.
The music was really loud and i was surprised that nobody came to complain. Maybe the other residents were used to it.

Scott grabbed my arm and lead me to the kitchen. He was taking me next to a group of 3 people who were talking with each other. Two girls and a boy.

"Hi Kev" Scott said and picked a red cup filled with some liquor. The smell was pretty strong.

Kevin greeted him and looked at me with curious eyes. He said something to the girls next to him and they soon left us alone.

"Oh yeah, Kevin he is Mitch. My friend" The friend who you kissed not so long ago, i thought to myself.

"Hello" He said and we shook hands.

Scott explained me that they were good friends and that he had studied in prestigious universities and that he was a nerdy. Kevin laughed at his statement but didn't argue. Soon i started to gather the pieces and constructed their story. They were classmates and became friends as soon as they saw each other. Their love for music was what drew them together, Scott added that Kevin was really good at playing the cello and at Beatboxing. Kevin also told me that he was a teacher in an Acapella academy.

"It was really nice to meet you Mitch, but you didn't come here to know my story. Have fun and drink something!" He handed me a cup of who knows what and went to talk with a young man that was calling him.

I took a sip from the cup. It tasted really good, i soon finished the whole cup and went to grab another one. They were playing some really good music, my feet started to move before my brain could process it.

"Do you want to dance?" Scott asked me when he realised that i was moving.

"Yes"

50 people were inside this apartment.

50 people were wasted as fuck.

50 people were dancing and having fun.

And 50 people didn't give a damn about what other people thought about them.

When the music started playing really loud all of us started dancing and jumping. Time went by and i had already drunk 5 cups of this delicious nectar. I begun to feel dizzy but i didn't care. At one point Scott got closer to me and tried to push me against the wall but got interrupted by a drunk couple chasing each other. I lost balance and begun to stumble backwards but Scott caught me on time.

He pulled me closer and leaned in for a kiss. I didn't reject him. His lips tasted like alcohol mixed with strawberry, in that moment i decided that it was my favourite flavour ever. His hands went to grab my back pulling me even closer, as if the thin space between us had to be suffocated.

My mind was spinning and his kisses were drugging me even more. His lips were hungry and i would gladly feed them. We kissed as long as we could, and wen we pushed back we were both breathless.

He cupped my cheeks and leaned in again, kissing me this time with full force. I was surprised by his sudden act and my cup slipped off my fingers and fell to the floor. Lucky for me i had dunk all the liquid inside of it.

I was definitely going to be a wreck tomorrow. Not only because i was wasted but also because Scott's lips never seemed to leave mine and every time his kissed me my whole body became weaker.
