Psycho

{Allison}

'He is so cute!' Olivia exclaims. 'I'm so glad you guys talked.' We've been talking on the phone for over 30 minutes now.

'Me too,' I smile, my cheeks turning red. 'I really like him. He is so nice to me.'

'I am starting to like him!' Olivia laughs, followed by a voice telling her to shut up, Matthew.

'Oh, come on, let me be happy for Allison,' Olivia says to her boyfriend. I laugh at the sound of them messing around.

'So, are you spending new years eve with him?' Olivia asks.

'Yeah, we're going to a party,' I tell her.

'That's nice,' she says. 'All, I have to go. My pet, aka by boyfriend, wants attention. Text me if you need anything.' I laugh and shake my head. I really like their relationship.

'I will,' I say to her. 'Have fun with Matthew.'

When we get off the phone it's almost five. I haven't even had dinner, or lunch. Maybe I should eat something, but I need to get ready as well. I told Evan I'd be back at eight, so I have three hours to get ready. I'll eat some snacks at the party. Skipping dinner once won't hurt me. Although, the alcohol will hit me a lot faster, and harder. But it's new years eve, so it's okay.

When I'm fully dressed it's almost eight, so I leave, back to Evans dorm. It only takes a few seconds for Evan to open the door, once I've knocked on it.

'You look beautiful,' he compliments me, a sweet grin forming on his face.

'Thank you,' I say as my eyes scan his body. He's wearing a black polo, with dark jeans. A watch covering his wrist. I'm living for this look. He looks so handsome in this. 'You don't look bad yourself.' He smiles and gives me a small kiss on my lips. The corners of my mouth raise up, turning into a smile. I can't help it. I just feel happy whenever I'm around him.

'Maybe we should get going,' I mumble against his lips when he tries to deepen the kiss. As much as I want to kiss him back and drag him to the bed, we need to go if we want to get there on time.

'Hmm,' he mumbles back, grabbing my waist as he pulls me closer to him. My body is touching his now. Evans lips leave mine for a moment and his blue eyes stare into mine. His pink lips are soft and full.

'You're so damn cute,' he says, his thumb tracing the lines of my lips. I can't think straight anymore. My head is completely empty.

'We...' I get lost in his ocean blue eyes. He grins before he takes my hand in his and places a kiss on my forehead. It's a simple gesture, but my heart is melting because of it.

'Okay, we can go now,' he says and he closes the door behind him.

We walk down the campus towards his car. His fingers are intertwined with mine. When we get to his car Evan lets my hand go and opens the door for me. I smile thankfully at him and climb into the car.

The party is a fifteen minute drive, so we can still spend some time together alone. For a moment I look at Evan, who is concentrating on the road. His jawline is sharp and he's biting his underlip. I can feel the heat in between my legs and I quickly put one leg over the other to stop it.

Suddenly Evan places his hand on my thigh, his fingers pressing on my skin lightly.

'Evan...' I mumble, closing my eyes when his fingers crawl up, under my dress. I'm about to give in, but then I realize we're in a car and Evan is still driving. So I grab his hand and take it off of me.

'You need to focus on the road,' I say to him. 'I don't want to die before the new year starts.'

'At least you'd have a pleasurable death,' Evan says, shrugging his shoulders. I laugh and roll my eyes. I really like him.

Evan parks his car a bit further away when we arrive at the party. He doesn't want his car to get dirty or broken, which I totally understand.

'Ready?' Evan asks me once I get out of the vehicle. I nod and take his hand that he was holding out. His touch is warm and feels familiar. We don't even know each other that long, but something about him... I feel like we've known each other for years.

I feel a little nervous as we walk inside. A lot of people still think I'm with Asher. I deleted our pictures together on Instagram, though, but not everyone sees that. Stacy also doesn't know about me and Evan yet. I didn't want to tell her through text. I hope she isn't angry about it.

'Are you okay?' Evan asks, giving me a worried look. I nod and smile at him.

'Allison?!' I look up and see Stacy. She is standing a bit further away with Liam by her side. 'Oh my god!' She runs towards me.

'Is this really happening?' she asks, looking at my hand, holding Evans. 'Am I dreaming?' I laugh and shake my head.

'You're not dreaming,' I say to her.

'When did this happen?' she asks. 'Why didn't you tell me right away? Allison, oh my god!'

'I'm gonna steal her for a second,' Stacy says to Evan. 'If you don't mind.' Evan laughs and shakes his head before he lets go of my hand. Stacy grabs my wrist and pulls me towards the kitchen.

'Tell me everything!' Stacy says.

'Well, when I got back from vacation I didn't go to him right away,' I explain. 'I just needed some time. But then I couldn't stop thinking about him. So I went to his dorm and we had sex. But after that we talked about everything. And we're not officially together, but we're getting there, I hope.'

'You are so adorable!' Stacy exclaims. 'You are made for each other.' I smile and bite my lip.

'I really like him,' I tell her. 'He is so sweet to me.'

'Yeah, he treats you way better than Asher ever did,' Stacy mumbles. 'I hope he is enjoying the vacation with your family. I still can't believe what your parents did.' I shrug my shoulders.

'I don't think I'll be speaking to them for a while,' I sigh. 'My mother sent me a text, blaming me for everything that has happened. So I told her to stop talking to me.'

'I'm proud of you,' Stacy smiles softly. 'Your boyfriend is looking at you.' I roll my eyes and laugh before I turn around and see Evan looking at me.

'We should go back to them,' I say to Stacy. 'Liam probably misses you already.'

'I know,' Stacy says. 'I just have that effect on people.' She flips her hair dramatically over her shoulder and walks towards Liam. I laugh and follow her.

Evan grabs my waist en pulls me closer to him, my body touching his. Butterflies are forming in my stomach.

'Were you gossiping about me?' he mumbles.

'Always,' I smile. 'Didn't you know I am gossip girl?' Evan chuckles and places a soft kiss on my lips.

'Only talking about good stuff, I suppose.'

'Of course.'

(So, I'm curious. What do you guys think of the book so far?)
