Before // Zion Kuwonu

Chapter 8

It's  mid way through September and things are going great. Currently, I am getting ready to go to the PM house for their party. I don't like to dress up too much so I put on a black off the shoulder bodysuit, light washed mom jeans, and white canvas vans.
Then put on some natural makeup and made my hair slightly wavy.

Dylan enters my room, "ready to go?"

"Yup,"

We go to her car and drive to the house.

Once we arrive, I could hear the music but from the outside it looks relatively normal. We walk up and open the door assuming it was unlocked.

Inside wasn't too many people that it was overwhelming but just enough to be a big party.

"I'm going to find Austin," Dylan says and leaves me.

I walk into the kitchen and pull out a beer from the refrigerator, "Do you need a beer opener," some guy asked me.

"Yeah, Thanks," I say taking the opener and popping the bottle open.

I am underaged but it's not like I abuse the liquid and get pounded. Strangely, I like the taste.

"I'm Gunnar," The guy introduces.

"Hazel"

"So what are you doing here?"

"Same reason you are, I guess. To party," I state and take a swig of the beer.

"Amen to that, you wanna dance?" Gunnar offers.

"Sure," I take his hand and let him guide me to the dance floor where everyone is packed.

We start to dance to the music for a while to some drake and lil pump. After a while, I get sweaty and chose to stop dancing after a random guy almost grinded on me.

I go to grab a water bottle and chug half of the thing then spot Zion chilling on the couch with some of his friends. I decide to not disturb him and spot Brandon.

"Hey Brandon," I greet.

"Hey Hazel," Brandon smiles and goes in for a hug, "you should totally meet my girlfriend!"

"Down," I reply excited.

We walk into the studio where nick, Edwin and some girls hang out with.

"Hey babe!" Brandon calls.

A cute, smaller girl with short dyed blonde hair walks up to him and pecks him on the lips.

"This is our friend Hazel," he introduces me to his girlfriend.

"Hi, I'm Charlotte, so nice to meet you!"

"So your Brandon's girlfriend?" I say with a friendly smile.

"The one and the only!" She chuckles, "sit!"

I plop down onto a separate bean bag and take int the room as everyone chats.

There was computers and speakers along with plenty of instruments.

Guitar. Piano. Drums. Ukulele. Etc.

I notice some spray cans in the corner of the room, "hey, so what are those spray cans for?"

"Well, we were going to spray those walls but only Austin has art talent and we all got too lazy," Nick explained who was sitting next to who I assume was his girlfriend.

"Didn't Zion say you are an art major?" Brandon asked.

"Yeah," I respond.

"Dude, if you want, go ham," Nick says nodding towards the spray paint.

"Yeah we were just going to dance anyways," Edwin says as he gets up and pulls his girlfriend up.

Everyone leaves the studio and Brandon says, "Wow us!"

I look at the wall, hearing the music play and pick up a can.

Zion POV

Im just chillin on the couch with some friend when Brandon goes up to me and says, "Your girl is in the studio."

"Thanks, I'll see you guys later," I say and head towards the studio.

Inside, Hazel is spray painting an image onto our blank wall.

She is so focused that she doesn't even realize I'm in here.

She is too cute.

Once Hazel is finished with her artwork, she stands back and examines it thoroughly.

"Damn, that's one hell of a graffiti," I say sitting on a bean chair.

"Oh hey," Hazel when she finally realizes I'm in the room.

She simply smiles and pushes her hair back out of her face. I bite my lip and stand up to hug her.

I hug her a lot. What can I say, I just like to hug Hazel a lot of times.

Hazel felt cold so I take off my hoodie and hand it to her. She already knows the routine and put the hoodie on that fits too big that it make her even more beautiful if that is even possible.

Hazel turns back to the artwork and continues to examine it so I wrap my arms around her waist and just rest there looking at the painting.

Spontaneously, I do what I've always wanted to do the first day we talked.

I spin her waist around, shocking her slightly and kissed her soft lips.

At first, she didn't respond still in shock but then Hazel starts to move her lips with mine slowly.

We both separated for a little air, but I only pull her closer, wanting more.

She wraps her arms around my neck and slowly leans in for another. I close the gap between us and continue to kiss her soft and passionately as her delicate hands play with my hair.
