"Mattiaaa", dreaded adela as I missed the cup in beer pong.

All of my friends and cousins were at Elios house playing drinking games like he had said earlier.

We were playing teams and it was Adela and I versus Elio and our friend Maritza. Of course Elio and Maritza were in lead as i was barely getting any balls in any of the cups.

Yet, every time I would get a ball in, Adela would give me a kiss and with every kiss I was determined to win.

"C'mon old sport, don't you think you can do better?", Elio mocked, he knew I wasn't much of a player when it came to these games.

"Oh hush Elio", I said.

He had tossed the last ball into my last cup, and the game ended, for he had one the game.

"Good try bambino", both Elio and maritza teased.

Adela grinned and shrugged her shoulders. I walked over with her by my side to sit down on the couch Elio had on the patio.

"Adela, I'm really sorry about the way I grabbed you, I was just...it's just...every time I see you, I know I want you, and I have to have it", I said.

"It's okay darling, it's in the past, but honestly do you use that for all the girls?", she giggled.

"No, see you're getting it all wrong", I had slapped my forehead when she had said that.

"Im kidding,calm down", she laughed.

"I can be whatever you want Adela, just tell me, and I'll be whatever you want", I said.

"You're drunk baby", she said so softly, it sounded as if her voice was silky smooth.

"I'll be that",I joked.

She rolled her doe brown eyes and rested her head on my shoulder. We watched everyone dance and drink or play games. I felt her head fall to my lap and had realized that she had fallen asleep.

I looked at my watch and saw it was 4 in the morning, and even myself was falling asleep.

I picked Adela up, and walked over to my house, which was only a couple of houses down. The house was silent, but the windows were open so all I could hear was the ocean crashing, and the wind blowing.

I walked over slowly and placed her on my bed, she groaned and turned around, I noticed how she still had on eye makeup, and walked over to her bathroom to get towelettes to clean her face.

When I did, she tossed and turned and moaned and groaned, until I finally got all of makeup off. I let her stay in her dress since her father was still in the same roof as us. I took off my clothes and put on a comfortable shorts and crawled into bed, I had to get her under the cover as well.

I laid there caressing her cheeks with very slow strokes. Her eyes stayed closed and she looked like she was in heaven, I've felt inner peace now.

"Ive never felt so alive", I thought to myself, she was what I needed even when I thought I hated her, she's all I ever think about now.

"Baby sleep", she groaned, I stood up and turned off the lights.

"Goodnight", I whispered.

She puckered her lips and made a kiss sound and fell fast asleep, but here I laid thinking about what was going to happen next?
