Falling For Him

14. Hangout

I opened my eyes because of the noises that were coming from downstairs. I couldn't sleep. The music was blasting from the speakers and someone was shouting. I rolled over to the other side of my bed, trying to block the noises out but couldn't. I checked the time and it was 6 in the evening. I tried to get a nap after comig home from school. It was all good until now.

I groaned and got off the bed. I'm gonna chop Liam's head off. I bet it's him and his stupid friends. Liam and his friends usually throw a mini party at our place. I stuffed my feet in my cozy, furry slippers and headed downstairs.

When I reached the living room, my eyes opened wide and my jaw hung low. What the hell is going on? I looked around the living room and gasped at the sighed. The music was blasting from the speakers and there were bottles spread all over the room. The Boys were jumping on the sofas and carpet. They were really high. They all were laughing, jumping, shouting and dancing at every beat.

"Liam!" I shouted over the music but they were too busy to listen. I approached the speakers and turned down the volume. "Liam! What the hell is going on?" I yelled at my brother who way laying on the sofa, upside down.

"Oohhhh hay little ev!" Fred came towards me. He was so damn high! He couldn't even walk properly. While approaching me he bumped several times into the wall, furniture and even tripped down. "Are you guys drinking again?" I asked in desbelieve.

"Water is useful, darling." Drake said swinging his bottle of beer infront of his face. "This is not water." I folded my arms over my chest.

"This isn't?" Drake looked shocked. He looked at the bottle. "Oops!" He took another gulp. What?

I looked around the room and Liam was already knocked out. But there was something that was not right. Cody. He was sitting on the couch at the far end of the room with headphones stuffed in his ears and mobile in hand.

I approached him and yanked the headphones away from his ears. "I'm shocked to se that you're not drinking." I raised my eyebrow.

"Hey Eva." He said, totally ignoring what I said . "I thought you were one of those bad guys who love drinking." I rolled my eyes. He looked deep in his thoughts.

He looked around the room before whispering. "I stopped after that day." I caught a sight of disappointment in his eyes. "What?" I asked and that bought him back to present. "Oh nothing." He stood up and straighten himself up. I looked over my shoulder and all three of them were already knocked out.

"You wanna go grab something?" He asked. "Can you do anything other than eating?" I chuckled at him.

"Well. We can grab icecream and then we can take a walk in the park.." he scratched the back of his neck. "I'm bad at making girls happy, sorry. I don't know any place that can make a girl happy." He shyly said.

"Really? I don't think so because you make me happy with these small treats. I would love to grab icecream and take a walk in the park with you." I smiled and caught him blushing. Aww! He's just soo cuteee.

"Okay then! Lets gooo." He grabbed my hand and smiled.

After about half an hour we were already in the park. We sat side by side on the bench and ate our icecreams in silence.

I looked at him and the event of that day came in my mind when he rubbed his thumb over my lip and made me shiver uncontrolablly. He looked at me and smiled. "What you thinking?" He asked me, talking about her bite of his mint icecream.

"Nothing." I shook my head. How to start a conversation with a boy? My mind couldn't think at that time.

"So. You wanna play 20 questions?" He asked and I nodded my head. "Sure, you start." I said, licking my icecream. I don't know why but I don't feel shy or uncomfortable when I'm with him. I feel like I can do anything without feeling embarrassed.
