Life isn't like a category or genre one can slip into, if any thing it's like scenes from millions of movies thrown into one.
!!!!I do not support dream and his actions as of recent!
The next few weeks fly by, and next thing I know it's summer. 14 weeks to do absolutely nothing. Ena and nick made official and it'll be coming up to their two month anniversary. Ena and I decide to get an off campus apartment, we pay like 12 grand each a year for a little box, the apartment is a large upgrade, we have a bathroom each, a veranda and even a little utility closet, the only downside is we won't have access to the cafeteria later on during the day. The apartment costs a little over 15 grand for the year amenities included, so in retrospect we get our own privacy, an extra bathroom, so much more wardrobe space for like 7 ish grand less. So we can use that money for food shopping, which we used to do back at the dorm aswell. Ena is a political science major so she was very anal about the whole money thing.
To celebrate we hold a party. I feel all grown up talking to my friends saying "since ive rented my first apartment, I'm hosting a house warming, feel free to bring a guest" I may aswell have popped out my first born and got divorced, that's how mature I feel.
The night of the party comes, Nick and his miserable house mate come a little earlier. I've not seen Clay much since the first date. Not ours. Nick and Enas. "I wouldn't bother clay too much, he broke up with his girlfriend yesterday and is still in a bad mood" Ena pulls me aside. She's wearing a light blue dress with a criss cross neck. I've just got a black dress on, showing my cleavage off, the back is the type of back where you have to lace it up. "Humh when is he not" I grumble, she just shakes her head with a smile, the couple rarely go over to nicks house, I always find them cuddled up at ours.
The living room is filled with people dancing, talking and doing whatever else you do at parties. I shimmy through the crowd making small talk with people making my way out to the veranda to see clay sulking in the corner, hand safely cuddling the red cup in his hand. "Clay, are you okay" he looks up at me but not for long "Yeah, why wouldn't I be" he shugs "Well Ena told me about your girlfriend" I go and sit on the chair adjacent to him. "Ugh, what the fuck. I wish he would keep out my business" "It's okay to talk to people, you know. I know you're not my biggest fan or whatever but it's nice to get an unbias opinion" I place my hand on his arm and rub it "I'm fine, I'll just get fucked" "Come now, don't be silly. If you don't want to be here I can take you home" i don't really want him driving, he looks drunk, his posture is somewhat slumped, his eyes are dark "Don't be so dumb" he shrugs my hand off him. I take the drink from his hand and down it "Listen, if you're going to act like all "woh is me" then I'm not going to stand for it, like it or not you're best friend and mine are dating and from the looks of it, they will be for a long time. Get over yourself" I spit before walking off.
I just down shot after shot, I was so pissed off, how rude. Later into the night I see Taylor go and breech the beast, an hour later I see them snogging. I hope she won't regret this in the morning. As the hours go on the amount of people diminish until it's just Ena and i close friends. I watch Bailey stand up straight. "Yooooo let's play spin the bottle" he slurs, downing his beer, he lays it down on its side, I presume it's for Spinn the bottle "Fuck yeah" Megan, a girl from Ena class says, everyone joins in, I sit on my heels ready for it. I'm young I may as well play a game made for year 8s to get their first kiss. Ena and Nick sit next to me, she's in between his legs. The rest of the troops sit around.
"I'll go first" Max volunteers, the bottle spins and lands on ally. The kiss was short and sweet. Next Craig spins landing on Ena, "Fuck that bro" nick says waving him off "eat a bag of dicks" "I'll go. I'll go" I Spin the bottle, it lands on max. "Max!! Maxy come here" leans in and we peck. Taylor then goes, it lands on clay, they're kiss was a little longer. clay then goes "Oh for Christ sake" I'll give you three guesses to tell me who it lands on "we may aswell hurry up then" I start to crawl over, he looks down my top before coming over, I thought it would've been short, my imagination was correct, the game goes on for a little longer. "Last Spin guys" Ena announces before spinning it, it lands one me. Her hand rests on the side of my face and we kiss, it was a semi long kiss, you know the ones that don't have tongue but could do. Nick let's out a deep exhale "That was so hot" he whispers to Ena. "Alright, that's it parties over guys, time for bed" I know why Nick was wanting everyone out, I'm just glad he did it and it's not awkward for me having to kick them out.
Within 30 minutes everyone's gone. Taylor went home without clay, the only reason I know this is because he's sprawled out over the settee. "One last drink" I say pouring a two shots "Fuck it" he stumbles towards me, standing on the opposite side of the kitchen island, he takes the shot in his hand and we cheers before downing it. He pours two more "Last drink entails that was our LAST drink" "Let's play a game" he has a wicked smirk "you ask me a question, you drink and I answer and vice versa" a sickly smirk plastered his face. fuck it. I may aswell find out why he's got such a large stick up his arse. "Deal honest answers only" He nods in response. I down my first shot "Why don't you like me?" "I do, I just thought when we met it was weird, and I don't trust people" I take a second shot "What happened with you and your girlfriend" "Ex! She cheated on me, fuckin' bitch" I go to take another but he stops me, he takes it instead "Is callum you're boyfriend?" I scoff "not in a month of sundays. He went home with another girl, he would be here if he was my boyfriend" I smile shaking me head. He steps closer to me "So you're single?" I nod "So are you?" He nods, he walks around the island trapping me between him and the marble surface. He reaches round, moving closer, and takes another shot. "How do you feel right now" his voice get horse and deep "Drunk" I gulp shrinking against his height "Don't lie to me Lara" "Hot?" "There we go" he brushes my arms up and down, he leans down do his lips are over mine "How do you think I feel right now?" "Drunk?" "Lara" "Hot?" He brushes his tongue his bottom lip, he's so close that mine gets brushed. I can taste the vodka on his breath "So hot" he adds, his hands grip the back of my thighs and lifts me onto the cold counter top. We stay heavy breathing looking from each other's eyes to lips "You're so fucking hot". And so it starts, the kiss that started seconds ago started to deepen tongues fight for control, we're one large, drunken mess.
