Kane's POV:

We enter the house where the mentioned party is held.

We look around for a while but soon we settle around the made 'bar'. Which is a countertop in the kitchen with various drinks in bottles or cans. With alcohol and without. I chose the one without any alcohol.

I look over at Dom. He finally released his gorilla grip on the bag but now he is being sure there was a big enough gap between him and Sienna.

"Next time don't do something she doesn't want to," I say.

He snorts. "As if I ever listened."

I smirk coming closer to him so we are out of the girl's hearing range. "I don't see you doing the same to Cheryl."

He coughs. Clearly, he didn't expect me to say that. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Suuuuure." I tease.

I see how Dom steals an occasional glimpse of Cheryl. And she does the same. It's comical how they don't realize.

"Then why doesn't she react?"

I lift my eyebrows. "Pardon?" I look at Dom.

He grunts. "To the signals I'm sending her?"

I look even more confused. What signals? "You were sending her some?"

He gives me a look.

I sigh thinking about how to help him. "You need to love others in their love language. You can't be upset with them for 'not feeling loved' if you only show it in your love language. The same goes for catching their attention or 'sending signals' which to be honest I think is stupid."

"Sending signals is stupid to you?"

I give him a 'duh' face. "They do not read your mind how are they supposed to know? The only thing it can do is confuse them."

He sighs. "You are too old school for this."

I laugh. "Don't drink too much. Your thoughts are starting to be weird."

As the good listener he is... Not. He drinks from his beer in a can.

He is lucky I like him.

As a friend.

Bromance.

People remember B R O M A N C E.

I look over to Sienna who is completely zoned out but nods occasionally to what Cheryl is saying to her. But to my surprise, she does answer accurately to what Cheryl said. At least someone is a good listener. I look over to Dom who has another drink in his hand.

I sigh and switch his drink with a nonalcoholic one when he isn't looking. He doesn't know his limits and I seriously don't plan to drive him to the hospital today due to alcohol poisoning.

When I am sure Dom has the nonalcoholic one in his hand and is still close so I see him in my peripheral vision, I look over to the girls who seem to be okay. Well about Sienna I'm not sure. That girl changes her attitude in seconds. I can't read through her. She smiles but I have this feeling she isn't happy. She acts mad but at the same time, I know she is holding back.

I lower my head so I don't stare at her any longer. The last thing I want is to look like a stalker and for her to be mad at me. Especially after that... Situation with Dom. Which I still find funny and amusing. He had it coming.

And God I might sound like a total asshole but I'm simply attracted to her. She is so pretty. I saw her multiple times before the project. And she was pretty from the time I first laid my eyes on her. I groan internally.

I love women. Especially the ones who are not labeled as 'wifey material' by a person. Women who smoke or drink, women with high body counts, and women with anger issues. I love women who are misunderstood and viewed as crazy. Women who are mean to men. I love women who have no desire to be perfect. Women who are independent and strong. Women who are fierce and sarcastic.

And oh my does she fall into that category.

I'm fucking creep.

I look at the can I'm holding making sure it is not the one I took from Dom. I sigh in relief when it's indeed nonalcoholic.

But that means my thoughts are completely sober.

Sienna's POV:

I feel eyes burning to the side of my face so I look around but catch no one looking at me. Weird.

But the thing I noticed is Dom keeping as much distance from me as he can. So I now occasionally go closer and closer and watch him shift 'sneakily' away.

Cheryl finds it extremely humorous so she took a video of it.

To be honest it's his fault and he did this to himself. I was defending myself from a very brutal attack.

I decide to leave Dominic be for now. I will jump-scare him later.

I don't know if it's the alcohol but I catch myself looking at Kane while my mind is drifting to the time we were dancing in the rain.

Damn you tipsy mind.

But I still wonder...

Does he notice?

Yeah, he might have called me pretty or he hangs out with me included but did he notice how I always play with my necklace? Or how do I tilt my head when I get confused? That I might have a bad relationship with dad? (Okay Sienna maybe that's hard to notice.)

Shut up my subconscious self.

Does he notice my smiles with all my teeth? Or that I cover my mouth with my hand when I eat? Or the fact that I constantly look at my nails? Does he see how I'm often adjusting the collar of my shirts because I feel like they are suffocating me? And how I zone out during lessons? How do I get uncomfortable with men yelling? Does he see I'm happier outside of my own house? Did he notice how I never say the word 'home'? Yeah, he acknowledges me but did he notice that? Notice me?

I sigh.

Can my mind and thoughts just shut up?
