As she walked out the room, she winked at Jack, and some other boys outside Nathan's door ad she passed. She knows at some point they'll try to find out, but she didn't thought that much of crowd would gather up.

Her hair is unmistakably messy- atleast more messy than it did before she entered his room. And they obviously would notice her cardigan off her, and the shirtless Nathan with his delicious body.

Elena shooked her head. 'I need to get that image out of my head,' she thoughts.

They'd obviously also notice her swollen lips. Which is the whole point of the game, isn't it? If they didn't pay notice to her lips, how would they tell if they aren't both just acting? It's just a shirt, her cardigan, and messing up her hair.

Passing a bathroom, she entered, and locked herself in. She released her breath, and leaned down on the basin. Her heart felt like running a thousand miles an hour, and her skin is still burning. He isn't the only one who needed some cooling down.

She looked at the mirror, seeing how flushed her face is and groaned. She found herself looking ridiculous flushed, and she didn't like it one tad bit.

She splashed her face, taking a towel from the mirror cabinet to dry her face. It's when she tidies up her hair when she realized he'd left a mark on her shoulder. She stiffened for a moment before she groaned.

Numbers of curses escaped her lips, as she stared back at it. "If the heat doesn't kill him first, i certainly will," she mumbled, gathering her hair to one shoulder before leaving the bathroom after making sure she's looking atleast presentable.

She passed the kitchen, looking into the liquor cabinet, before helping herself out by grabbing a bottle, opening the cork, and leaves to the pool.

She drank straight from the bottle, with her feet dipped inside to pool. The living room is still empty. She didn't know whether Nathan has kicked them out, or they decided to continue elsewhere. She just wanted to enjoy her wine, and cool herself down.

But it didn't take long before everyone started to join her on the pool. Some jumped right in, some stripped down first. She just smirked at them, raising her bottle, and pretending she's just partying earlier than they do- which of course, nobody noticed a thing.

The party seemed to move to the pool as the night passed, it also seemed to get more and more crowded. She just laughed, swayed her head to the beat, and her arms up in the air. Some danced by the pool, some made out on the pool, some pushed one another. She just sat there and watch, absolutely enjoying her wine.

Finding everyone preoccupied, she stood up, and walked into the house. Her half soaked dress made her shiver as the the wind blows. Her cardigan? There's no way it could be saved with the amount of jumping happening on that pool.

'Should've left it on the couch, or in his room instead,' her mind spoke, making her wanted to roll her eyes.

'Right, as if he'd let her get back in,' she retorted back.

'Of course, he would. So you could both finish-'

Her mind is stopped from it's incoherent babbling as a voice make her jump.

"Hiding?"

She turned around, meeting the dazzling eyes of that baritone voice that send shivers on her spine.
