It has been an hour since the group started playing truth and dare and an hour since I got bored out of my life, watching them continue making out from one another, I feel like I need to sanitize my eyes, I guess I would have died in disgust if I had to suck someone's mouth like that, Gross! what if they smell bad? Or worse, What if they don't brush their teeth!?! Eww, Eww
As if understanding my apathy, Chase came and flopped next to me.
‘’Bored?’’ he asked
‘’not really, just tired’’ yeah I just told that, What? I couldn’t just say, Not really, what could be more amusing than watching you guys eat each other? Right?
‘’So what are your plans after school?’’ he asks and I laugh
‘’ Really, you are asking me that? But well, the answer to your question is that I didn’t think about it’’ I say and look up when I feel someone gaze on me but I only see Christian flirting with the girl on his lap. Weird I knew someone was looking at me.
‘’Uh-huh, I thought a girl like you has everything already planned out for the future’’ he says sounding amused.
‘’looks could be deceiving you know’’ I say with a wink
‘’uh-huh’’ he says with a flirty tone and then suddenly someone flops on the little space between us and it was none other than James, Gosh he's such a child!
‘’hey! You didn’t flirt with me like that?’’ he accuses in his childish way.
I laugh and say ‘’he didn’t ask me to solve him an accounting problem the moment I met him, you know’’ I say and he rolls his eyes
‘’Come on!!’’ he whines, like the kid he is.
‘’excuse me for a minute, I am going to the washroom’’ I say and stand up.
‘’I can come with you’’ Chase suggested
‘’No you can just tell me the directions it’s fine’’ I say waving off his offer.
‘’no, I insist-‘’ he was interjected by Christian
‘’Hey man, your phone’s ringing’’ I shot Chase a small smile and usher him away to take his phone call, but he leaves after telling me the directions to the bathroom he mouths me ‘’sorry’’ and I just wave him off saying no problem.
The journey towards the center of the earth was so exhausting! Yeah, my bladder was about to burst that it made me feel like I was traveling to the center of the earth as the bathroom was nowhere close to the room I was in!! Relief washed over me when I saw a door slightly open at the end of the hall, I quickly ran and opened the door wide open only to see a girl on her knees sucking a man’s dick! Oh god! I lost all my innocence in one friggin night! Why is it always me?! This is soo embarrassing!!
Muttering sorry I close the door and start breathing heavily, I didn’t even notice that I had caught my breath for this long!
‘’what are you doing?’’ a familiar deep voice asks, and I look up and see Christian standing in front of me arms crossed, making his arms bulge, god those bulging biceps, shut up!!
I snap out of my thoughts and say ‘’um-um, I came to use the bathroom’’ pointing towards the bathroom
‘’So why aren’t you’’ he asked raising an eyebrow in amusement.
‘’Occupied’’ I say, slightly disgusted to the thought of why it was occupied.
As if reading my thoughts, he said, ‘’follow me, I will take you to a better one’’ he starts walking away and I follow him. after walking for like a minute or two, he opens a room’s door; which was huge and had a king-sized bed a television on top of the ceiling, and on the right there was a big bookshelf, cutting away my thoughts Christian opens the bathroom’s door and motions me to enter. Without giving a further thought, I ran towards the bathroom and locked it and heard Christian chuckling lightly.
After clearing my bladder, I flush the toilet and exit the bathroom. Christian was scrolling through his phone, sitting on the side of the bed and stands up after seeing me
‘’won’t you use the washroom?’’ I ask
‘’no, I already did,’’ he says and I nod
‘’let’s take you home’’ he says before I could further question him about whose room it was.
‘’ wait, what? why? I mean no’’ I say, though I wanted to go home, I couldn't just ditch Cy and Em.
‘’isn’t that obvious, you aren’t having fun’’ he said as a matter of fact
‘’No, who said I wasn't having fun? I was having a marvelous time with Chase’’ Which is a direct lie.
‘’for fuck’s sake! Winter, will you ever stop being stubborn?’' he said with gritted teeth and clenched his jaws
‘’Okay, okay. But what about Em and Cy?’’ I say and he relaxes. Is this his time of the month?
‘’Jace is there for Emily, he will take care of her and as per Cyrus’s concern, he was making out with some chick when I was looking for you’’ he blurted the last part
‘’you were looking for me?’’ I ask suspiciously,
‘’no!’’ he replies immediately
‘’you just said-‘’
‘’I said when I was looking outside’’ I need to clean my ears.
‘’oh,’’ I say, still slightly confused.
‘’Now, let's go’’ he says, I don’t further argue knowing I want to get out of this place as soon as possible.
‘’wait’’ I say
‘’What?’’ he says looking confused turning back
‘’I didn’t tell Chase, he might be looking for me’’ I say, thinking about Chase, who behaved pleasantly with me.
‘’no need’’ he says clenching his jaws
‘’why-‘’
‘’he’s busy making out with Sally you wanna interrupt that?’’ he asked raising his eyebrows
‘’No. kay, let's go’’ I sigh and follow him
As we exit the house fresh air hits my nostrils and I inhale the smell of nature. Ahh! it smells marvelous!! Who thought after attending a party I would be in love with the air?
Christian walks and I follow him towards a sleek, shiny black car. I was so mesmerized by its beauty that I hadn’t noticed when Christian unlocked his car slid inside it.
‘’are you planning on standing there all night?’’ he said with a smirk without saying anything else, as I was still recovering from my embarrassment for gawking on his car, I slid inside the passenger seat and buckled my seat belt.
The ride was silent but comfortable I was staring at the blurred images we were passing. Leisurely, my eyelids started getting heavy and as I started drifting towards dark Christian’s voice snapped me
‘’So you and Chase huh?’’ he asked
‘’No. I just met him today’’ I said with my eyes closed
‘’ didn’t look like it’’ he said as annoyance was clear as a crystal in his voice.
‘’Why do you sound annoyed? Are you jealous’’ I said with a smirk and yawned
‘’Sleep. Winter’’ that’s what I heard last before getting engulfed by darkness.
I was in a dark room, my hands and legs were cuffed with chains, my mouth was closed with tape. I didn’t understand where I was. I was scared, I was trying to shout but my voice was not coming out. Moving, I tried to wiggle out of the chains but, couldn’t, I felt numb, I didn’t have enough energy. I heard the sound of a door opening, someone entered and that’s when I saw the dark green terrifying orbs. I wanted to scream but nothing came out. He was laughing and held a knife,
‘’you shouldn’t have run away little Katie’’ he said and was stepping closer to me, I was crying I felt like I couldn’t breathe, he kept on laughing on my state, I felt as if someone in far distant someone was calling my name, but I was too terrified to process, he suddenly approached and...
I scream and see a worried Christian shaking me, ‘’Shush, nothing’s wrong it was just a dream, shush’’ he said and hugged me, subsequently, rubbing my back, I didn’t know how it happened, but when all the emotions rushed into me at the same time, I couldn't control anymore, I started sobbing on his chest.
‘’shush, winter nothing will happen, it was just a dream’’ he kept saying and rubbing my back it until I stopped.
‘’I am so sorry’’ I say, pulling back but he doesn’t let me go, instead he grabs me face with both his hands and wipes my tears.
‘’you have nothing to say sorry about’’ he says and places his forehead against mine. For some time, I didn’t know who this was, this was not the jerk Christian I knew, this was not the player Christian who broke every girl’s heart, this was the soft, gentle Christian. A side I am glad I got introduced with. And at that very moment, I forgot that I hated being touched, I forgot that I flinch whenever anyone touches me, it's a natural instinct.
‘’you can talk about it whenever you want yeah?’’ he said softly and I nodded. The rest of the journey was silent yet comfortable what hit me was why I didn’t winch when he hugged me, on the other hand, I liked it, it was different, it was so soothing. As if that was the only thing I needed at that very moment.
I was so covered with my thought that I hadn’t noticed that we were parked in front of my house.
‘’Thank you’’ I say smiling at him and he smiles back, will things be awkward now onwards? I just hope he always stays like this.
‘’tomorrow come to my place, I will text you my address’’ he says
‘’why?’’ I ask furrowing my eyebrows
‘’to do my homework’’ he says in a duh tone
‘’But tomorrow is Sunday!!’’ I whine
‘’exactly and you are my slave you have no holidays until your master gives you one, remember slavy?’’ he says with a smirk and winks.
And ladies and gentlemen the old Christian’s back. Way to jinx it, Katherine.
