Along for the ride

Chapter 13

"Whoa," I whispered, as my eyes wandered around the mansion.

There were teenagers everywhere in sight. They were either making out, dancing, or consuming alcohol like it was water.

I wore a white button up shirt tucked into sparkling forest green high waisted shorts. Over the shirt I wore a black blazer that I left unbuttoned finishing the look with dark stockings and black heals with a matching clutch.

This was one of the biggest parties of the year. I intend to make a good appearance.

The music blasted through the house as everyone danced to 'Talk Dirty'.

"Chelle sure knows how to throw a party, huh?" Valorie shouted, over the music.

Right on cue, Michelle walked over to us.

"Speaking of the host," I smiled.

"Hey, ladies! So glad you guys could make it!"

"Thanks, Chelle. Great party!" I shouted.

"Thank you, thank you." She smiled, looking around, "Do you guys want anything to drink-"

"Can I offer you ladies a drink?" a cute dark-haired boy with dimples offered, with two half filled cups in his hands.

Michelle looked over at us, then back at the boy taking a cup out of his hands, "Don't mind if I do."

She raised the cup up before bringing it to her lips.

"How about you?" He waved the cup towards me.

"Nah, I'm fine. Maybe later."

"You?" He asked Valorie.

She shook her head.

He shrugged and helped himself to the alcohol.

"Care for a dance?" He asked, Michelle

"Might as well," She agreed, as he led her to the dance floor.

Valorie hooked our arms, as we made our way towards the bar.

"What can I get you ladies?" A cute blonde with bright blue eyes asked.

"Two martinis, please." I requested.

"Coming right up," he winked then began preparing our drinks.

"Okay, that guy was totally hitting on you!" Valorie gushed.

I rolled my eyes and tried to bite back my smile.

"Gabbie!"

"Okay, I'll admit, he's pretty cute."

She nudged my side right as the boy was returning with the drinks.

"Two martinis," he announced, setting our the glasses down.

"Thank you," I answered, as I took a sip.

Rhyan walked over to us, trailing his eyes down to our drinks.

"I come to say hey and find you guys drinking already?" He groaned.

Valorie rolled her eyes and brought the drink back to her lips.

"Don't get too wasted?" He pleaded,  "Keep in mind that I'm the one who always ends up having to carry your drunk ass inside our house."

"Fine," She hissed, rolling her eyes. "Now can you get off my back?"

"Thanks." He quickly kissed her cheek.

He looked over at me, and smiled.

I feet my heart beat quicken as I smiled in return.
