The Queen Bee

43. Lola

I am a party animal, I can't deny that. Judge me or whatever but dancing through a blaring songs we didn't understand the lyrics and swaying hips in the blinding lights while clutching a bottle of vodka or beer gave me a different vibes, a jolly and carefree vibes. It gave me an extra connection with my own self that I can't explain and a moment to forget everything. Like how Seb hurts me like a bitch.

Ezra gripped my hand tightly and grinned at me while we both dance like there was no tomorrow. Our shoes long gone, I was pretty wasted, Ezra too and we were having the time of our life.

Crashing a cool and boozed-filled party at the beach was amazing!! The sea breeze gave me a chill and super nice mood to get naked in front of a bonfire.

"This is so much fun!"Ezra shouted so I can hear her voice through the loud noises from the party goers like us and the blaring bass of the sound system.

I agreed to her. This was really fun.

"Hey, can I join you girls?!" Someone from behind me shouted and start dancing like a monkey which made both Ezra and I to laugh hard.

The guy was lanky and tall but really really good looking. He has ginger hair like Cara and has dimple on his right cheek.

"Sure. "Ezra said while I nodded.

"Great! Let's do the macarena!"he shouted again as he started dancing a little weirdly. Ezra and I laughed so much that we almost stop dancing.

"Come on, you should follow my steps!"Mystery guy pouted. Ezra gave me a look but smiling playfully and I just nodded as I started copying the guy's weird dance steps. Ezra immediately joined too. Until every other person in the sandy make shift dance floor formed a big circle, circling the big bonfire and we all dance weirdly.

After an hour or so, I felt so chill, tired and thirsty, I told Ezra I'd be sitting somewhere in the bar to grab something cold to drink. The bottle of beer in my hand was long gone, feeling a little wobbly and tipsy, I decided to have some piñacolada for a safer choice this time.

I was about to give my card to the bartender but the guy from before stop me, saying I can have the drink for free and told the bartender to add it to his tab.

"I don't accept free drinks from strangers."I told him playfully while he looked at me like I hurt him.

"Shame because I was about to tell you who I am."He said, playfully sporting a pout. I never thought a pout can be so cute for a guy, but this guy changed that.

"Shame because I might not hear you from all of this sounds."I flirted. He smirked at me then wiggled his brows playfully which made me laughed.

"Shame because I really do like us to talk somewhere not as loud as here."He offered to me, smiling genuinely.

I rolled my eyes at him, still smiling.

Without saying anything after that, he guided me away from the loud party. Him holding a bottle of beer in hand while I still have the glass of my colada, we walked towards the benches near the shore.

St. Vincent was a neighboring town of Riverside, two towns over to be exact. The town was known for its white and nice beaches, full blown parties for teens and young adults like tonight and cool authorities. It was tolerated here to drink boozed even for middle schoolers, but with restrictions like not starting a messy fights, unprotected sex or public sex and doing drugs. It was kind of cool, really.

"So, I'm Bryce."He extended his hands to me, expecting for me to shake his and say my name too.

"Lola."I simply said while shaking his cold hands. His fingers were thin though it were long that my hands felt little inside his hands.
