The Tale of Us

9

Music is pumping over the loud speakers. The song Faucet Failure by Ski Mask the Slump God is playing.

Mia grabs Brayden's hand and goes to start dancing with him, leaving me alone with Alessio.

"Well that was fast." Alessio says/yells. The music is to loud so if he spoke normally you wouldn't hear him.

I laugh. "Let's just hope they both keep their pants on tonight!"

After about ten minutes Alessio suggests we go get drinks, I agree so we walk over to the table.

"What do you want?" He asks.

"Whatever you have."

"I'm gonna have a beer, you sure?"

"Yeah. I'll have a beer." He hands me a drink and I take a sip. I hate beer but I'll drink it anyways.

"Wanna dance?" He yells.

I nod and grab his hand. Heading over to the dance floor.

After we dance for a bit Alessio goes to grab us more drinks and I keep dancing. As a light weight I'm already drunk because I had two cups of beer.

I bump into someone. Ethan. "ETHAN!" I squeal. "Oh my god. Have you tried the beer?"

"No! But I think you should take a break."

"Why? I'm having fun."

"But-" Ethan starts.

"Hey Penny, oh hi." Alessio says.

Ethan let's go of my wrist, "Hi." he starts to laugh nervously. I look at Alessio and he's sizing up Ethan. Ethan walks away.

"Hey what was that for?" I ask/yell at Alessio. "He's my friend." I hiccup.

"Nothing. Let's keep dancing."

After the party I'm so fucking drunk. Alessio decides I can't go home so Mia, Brayden, Alessio, and I all go back to Alessio's house.

"My parents are on a business trip and my sisters are at their friends houses."

When we get to the house I've already fallen asleep on Alessio's shoulder so he carries me in.

We all walk into his room and he sets me on his bed. I wake up, "Where are we?" I ask, still slurring my words.

"My house," Alessio says. "Mia and Brayden are in the guest probably fucking."

"Oh, I'm a virgin! I'm such a good child." I say while hiccuping.

Alessio starts laughing, "Are you a virgin Z, you're hot so I doubt it." I question/state.

"Um," Z looks shocked, "Um, I'm not a virgin."

"I KNEW it. Someone as hot at you can't be a virgin long," he gives me a weak smile. "I'm cold!" I say dragging out the O. "Can I go under the covers?"

"Yeah, I'm cold too." Alessio climbs under the covers with me and turns on the TV in his room.

After about an hour of watching TV I've fallen asleep while cuddling with Alessio. Mia and Brayden walk into the room, and you can tell something went down with them.

"Does Penny's parents know that she's not home?" Alessio asks.

"Yeah, they think she's sleeping at my house and my parents don't care where I am so it doesn't matter that we're here." Mia replies.

"Cool, ok."

7:56 am
Saturday

I wake up and look around. I'm cuddled up to a sleeping Alessio, Mia and Brayden are no where in sight.
