Chapter 13- Hot!

___LUKE'S P.O.V___

"Hey man, where were you? I have been searching for you for quite sometime now." Jackson shouted in my ear handing me a glass of vodka.

"I got stuck with some girls." I shouted in his ear with a knowing smirking and he laughed. I'm not one of those boys who hook up with different girls in every party but he doesn't need to know that. This playboy facade will only help me in future and imma keep it that way.

"That's my man" He said patting my back. I wanted to ask him if he saw Jeremy but some chick came and took him with her. Hm! I shrugged and started searching for Jeremy myself. I gave a head nod to boys here and there on my way. Ah that rascal! I gave him one work to do and he couldn't even do that. Just when I was crossing a room I heard some girls talking. I didn't mean to eavesdropping but this voice was sort of familiar and froze me on spot. Curiosity got the best of me.

"What do you guys think you are doing." Someone said.

"Well, I wanted to have a serious conversation with you." Another one said.

Hm interesting. Are they like a couple? Am I intruding in someone's relationship? I started getting scenarios in my mind and wanted to get on my way until...

"I don't see what's the big deal if I have never kissed anyone." the first girl said. Okay not a couple for sure.

"So you have never dated?" second girl asked. I was getting weird looks by people passing by. I took out my phone and pretended like I was on it doing something.

"Yup." First girl said. Her voice is so familiar, I just couldn't keep a finger where I have heard it. Only if this music ain't so loud I could remember where I have heard her voice. And just when I started to drive my memory lane...

"You are 18 years, soon to be 19 old Su and you have never dated or kissed?" second girl asked. WHAT!? Su? As in Susan? I was gob-smacked. She has never kissed or dated! I mean why? Boys would kill to date her! Not that I want to date her or anything.

"Why?" second girl asked. How much I wanted to thank her for asking this question. I got a lil more closer to the door for better hearing. I just hope I don't get caught. Not that my luck has ever been on my side.

"I don't know. All the guys I have talked, I never felt like I should date them. I don't know how to explain this." Susan said. Mhm. Makes sense, maybe?

"Hey man. What's up?" Some jerk shouted from around the corner. Argh!. I should leave before girls come out. Why the fuck this dude has to come now! You see how wonderful my luck is? I marched to that guy, grabbed his hand and took him downstairs.

"Whoa whoa whoa easy dude! What were you doing up there?" That drunk ass asked.

"I was searching for my friend. And why am I even telling you this. I don't even know you." I said irritated and went to the kitchen to make myself a drink. Much needed!

"Hey Luke! Here you are" Jeremy said making his way to my counter. Looks like I finally found him or maybe he found me. Nonetheless, he's here and I hope he did what I asked him to do.

"You did what I asked you to?" I said taking a sip of my cherry vodka.

"Yeah man. I'll tell about the details tomorrow. To the sober you!" He said eyeing me. Ehh man is he gay?

"Whatever." I said dismissing the topic. All I had in my mind was the fact that she has never been kissed and she has never had a boyfriend. Ahh I really wanted to know why but that asshole! Worst timing ever. Atleast I got away.

People were either shoving their tongues into each other's throat or dancing and shouting and getting drunk. Everyone was wasted. Well not everyone but most of the people were wasted. I decided to stay in the kitchen. Atleast it was a little peaceful here. No matter how hard I tried my mind wander to that same thought. Again and again. She has these beautiful curved cherry lips. Who won't want to kiss her! Ah! my head was throbbing with all the thinking about the same thing and I blame alcohol for it. I sat on the counter resting my head on the wall behind me. I heard people shouting. No one, literally no one can let me rest in peace! I opened my eyes and hall was empty. Everyone gathered around the pool area. I get off the counter and walked to the pool area. I heard a shriek. I female voice. I rushed to the front making my way in the crowd and then I saw what happened. I immediately jumped in the water to rescue her. It was like my legs got mind of it's own.

Water was medium cold but the pool was a bit deep. I snaked my arms around her waist. She clinked on me like her life depends on me. Like i was the air her lungs needed. Her touch was strange. It felt strangely good! But it was a different good. A weird different good. I don 't know if it makes any sense or anything makes sense at this point. I helped her getting out of the pool and her friends came with towels immediately.

"Oh my god are you okay Lucy?" Susan asked hugging her friend. She has tears in her eyes. That maroon dress clinked to her body. She looked so hot! I was mesmerized by her eyes. Ocean blue eyes, deep and pure, glistening with tears. They held so much in them. Like an ocean has so many secrets in it, just like that her eyes held secrets. A mystery she was which I wanted to solve. Like a puzzle with lost pieces which I wanted to find and put together. Like an incomplete soul which I wanted to complete. All these thoughts in my mind just by looking at her. Just by a glimpse of her. I diverted my gaze before completely getting lost. I saw Jaimi slapping some girl. It must be her who pushed lucy in the pool. The crowd started getting inside of the house continuing there party. Assholes, None of them made a move to save her from drowning. They just wanted to watch the drama. It made me sick to my stomach. How can people be such an asshole?

"Thank you." I looked in front of me saw her standing. Looking at me.

"Huh." I said unaware of anything.

"I said thank you. Thank you for saving her. It means a lot." She said giving a faint smile. Those cherry lips! I shaked my head.

"It's okay. Take care of her." I said politely nodding in her direction.

"I will. Thank you." She smiled. A bigger smile this time. Just when I was about to compliment for her smile someone came and snaked his arms around her shoulder.

"Here. Drink some water you'll feel good." She took the glass from his and and smiled. Is he her boyfriend? That can't be it right? Few minutes or probably an hour or two ago she said she never had a boyfriend.

"Thanks man." He said nodding at me. I nodded back. He took both the girls inside. His hand on her upper back guiding her. She's not a little baby who needs to be guided. That jerk! I heard someone coughed beside me that broke my stare from them.

"Hey." Jaimi said looking in the same direction I was looking.

"Hi." I replied looking at her.

"I hate to say this to a jerk like you but thank you." She said shrugging. I chuckled at her words.

"Your welcome. How is she?" I asked.

"Who, the one you saved or the one you had your eyes on?" She said raising her eyebrows on me.

"You got some nerves, don't you." I said laughing.

"Oh you have no idea." She said in a serious tone. "So who?"

"Lucy." I replied.

"She'll be fine. Susan is with her. She's good at taking care of people." She whispered the last part. Before I could ask what she meant by 'she's good at taking care of people' she left inside joining her friends without any other word. Although these words might be just regular words but something the way she said made me feel like there was much more meaning in those words, something so deep. Everything related to Susan is so deep, and everytime I think about it, I want nothing more than to get lost in the deep, to let me myself drown, buried into her deepness, just so I could be with her. This is not healthy, not right, but I can't help it. I don't want to stop. I don't think I can. Not now.
