Fervent Love / Reece Bibby (stereo kicks)

Chapter 3 - how we first got drunk

My head had fallen back and I was staring at the stars while swinging. I looked up for just a second and reached for the vodka, I chugged a good bit and put it back. I felt happier now, I liked being alone surprisingly, I was the only person that could make me feel better. The song changed to don't and I heard footsteps coming towards me, I tried to see who it was but I couldn't and I started to get a little scared I grabbed the bottle of vodka and gulped until I heard

'Hey' come from the persons mouth. It was Reece.

'Hi' I replied swinging my legs to get myself going again. He sat in the opposite swing and just stared at me.

'What are you doing here?' He asked

'I like being by myself' I replied hoping he'd get the hint. I know i didn't have the right to be in any way but I felt kind of pissed off that he kissed that girl, I hate when I get feelings I can't control.

'Do you mind if I stay?' He asked

'No' i said shortly. He was suddenly in front of me and stopped the swing with both hands.

'Are you okay?' He asked, his face close to mine.

'Yeah why?' I said starting to swing

'You seem mad at me or something' He asked kind of worried

'No i'm not haha' I could feel the alcohol really kicking in now, I probably drank too much too fast. Reece looked over to the almost empty bottle of vodka

'Are you drunk Rae?' He asked worried

'Yes' I said back not even trying to deny it. He sighed kind of disappointed, what was his problem? I could drink if I wanted to.

'Are you?' I asked back trying to break the tension,

'Not half as much as you are love' He said smiling

'Come sit with me' he said patting the floor in front of him. I hoped off the swing and sat really close in front of him so our legs were touching and our faces were inches apart.My phone buzzed and we both looked down at it, three texts came up on the screen

'I miss you' 'I love you' 'I need you'. All from luke I sighed and locked it.

'Is that your boyfriend?' Reece asked

'No my ex, he wont leave me alone'

'looks like he still likes you a bit'

'Yeah well we were in love for about 2 years I don't expect him to get over it so quickly' Shit i was telling him more than I wanted to, I wasn't generating what I saying before I said it.

'Do you still love him?' he asked trying to make eye contact

'No' suddenly I felt warm tears running down my face, reece put his hand on my cheek and looked me in the eyes

'are you ok?' he asked

'Yeah i'm just sad and drunk' I replied taking his hand down off my cheek. I held his hand and started to play with it. I looked up at him smiling.

'Whats wrong rae?' He asked softly

'Oh its nothing, I just miss having someone to love' what was I even saying? did that even make sense? He sighed gently and pulled me into a hug. I wasn't expecting it but i was so lovely it was exactly what i needed. He was so warm-blooded my head fit perfectly into his shoulder. After a good long hug he pulled back and got up, pulling me up with him.

'That was the best hug I've ever had' i blurted out, why did i say that? he laughed and took my hand, he could clearly see I was drunk. We walked inside and avoided everyone, we went straight up to my bedroom. I took off my shoes and sat on my bed and he did the same. From then we started talking about absolutely nothing  and everything at the same time. We laughed every other word, it was the cutest thing. I told him things I really shouldn't have considering I only knew him for day but my secrets just kept coming out and everyone he accepted so nicely. My heart melted with everything he said. I looked over at my bedside clock and it read 4.26

'Shit reece we've been talking for ages' I said in amazement

'Ive enjoyed every second of it he said putting a piece of my hair behind my ear.

Before I really understood what was happening he leaned in and kissed me. His lips were soft and warm and he was so gentle. This felt so right. he laid back and pulled me on top of him. We kissed for what felt like ages but I never wanted it to end. Eventually i layed my head on his chest and had one leg between his. He pulled the covers up and we fell into a deep sleep.
