To Love, And to Be Loved

High

"Where's your friend?" Draven asked.

"I'm sure she has left already. She met up with her boyfriend."

Draven raised his brow. "They left you alone?"

"Well, no. I actually left them. Being the third wheel sucks, so her boyfriend decided to bring his best friend for me."

Draven gave me a weird look, but he didn't say anything.

"Who I'm not very fond of."

Draven's expression changed. He looked..relieved?

Maybe I'm just high.

"Do you want to dance?" I blurted out.

Wow Zor, what the fuck was that?

Draven laughed a little. "Uh, I don't really dance, but you seem like you want to so sure."

Draven stood up. "Lead the way."

Ok.. this is happening.

I stood up and stared up at Draven. He stared back.

I held my hand out for him to take and I led the way.

My breathing became shaky, and each step we took towards the dancing crowd, more eyes lurked.

"Relax." Draven said.

It was so loud in the room, but I heard him as if he was standing on my shoulder.

It felt like it was just me and Draven. I released his hand and turned around to face him.

"I love this song." I said. I closed my eyes and started swaying to the music.

"You would get me so.. high all the time

High all the time

I wanna be...high all the time

Would you come with me?"

I felt hands grip my waist.

I opened my eyes to see Draven watching my movements. His eyes were low and full of hunger but he didn't say anything and I didn't either.

I wrapped my arms around his waist as well since I couldn't reach his neck.

I closed my eyes, and continued to dance to the lyrics.

"Used to stick together

You're my best friend, I'll love you forever.

We could be the greatest

Doesn't matter if we're never rich or famous.."

Something about this felt right. I felt my adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I felt alive.

I felt the thing I was looking for.

A pull.

"Do you wanna get out of here?" Draven leaned down as much as he could and whispered in my ear.

"This is your house." I said with a quiet laugh.

Draven's lips pressed against my temple and I bit my lip.

I wasn't sure if it was hot in here or if I was hot.

"These people will be here all night, they won't even notice I'm gone."

I opened my eyes and stared at Draven's figure. I grabbed his hand and placed it on my bag where my keys were held.
