candles and cotton | b.h

twenty eight.

i held his neck and he lifted me bridal style, i opened the door and kicked out my legs and one arm as we went out to the sitting room where the girls were.

"tada!!!"

they turned and widened their eyes, i smiled at them, cheryl let out a snort, "what are you two meant to be?"

i jumped down from ben's arms, "i am a yellow crayon, ben is a blue one."

cheryl and caitlin scrutinized ben, he had his hands in his pockets, an awkward smile on his face.

"let's go, the place where david's party is is far away."

cheryl held ben's arm as we walked out the door, "hey anyone here know how to drive?"

"don't worry,"cheryl said with a chuckle, "i can drive, my car's in the car park, but i'm not being the designated driver."

"i will, i have my license"i said, we walked down the door, getting looks from almost everyone we met, "i don't drink."

ben looked at me oddly but didn't say anything.

once we got out into the cool darkening outdoors we saw her her small red nissan.

we piled into the car, ben and cheryl up front and caitlin and i in the back.

once we got there, the party was i  full swing, through the windows of the large hall, there was flashing lights and loud music.

we walked inside the large double doors into a small hallway, the music was louder inside.

we walked through the door into the main room, music pulsed through the walls, lights danced around the room, as did the guests.

most i recognised from school, but some i didn't know. there wasn't too much people there, just enough, seventy or so.

there was a long buffet table across one wall filled with sweets, pastries and finger foods like chicken legs and fries.

ben and i shared the same look and smiled, i might actually enjoy myself.

"y/n babe!!"

david ran toward me, a little tipsy as he rarely drinks anything stronger than a cocktail.

he was dressed up in drag, he wore a pink and white checkered skirt, with a white sweatshirt tucked inside.

"you look gorgeous, david!"

he blushed, kissing my cheek, "aw bless you, always so nice to me. i love your outfit! but, what are you?"

i frowned, grabbing ben's arm and pulling him toward me, i beckoned for caitlin to go enjoy herself, she smiled and dragged cheryl to the buffet table.

"ben and i are crayons. i am yellow and ben is blue, see?"

david sent a smirk in my direction, "and my GIRLFRIEND just walked away with HIS girlfriend."

ben went to interfere but i stopped him, "i like what you did here, it looks cute."

i admired the huge pumpkins and fake bats.

"so, ben is blue and you're yellow, then do you make green?"
