Spree

"Shot shot shot shot!!" everyone's cheering for me to take the shot, I leaned into River, shocked evident in his eyes because we are an inch close, but I took the chance to snatch the glass from him and took a shot.

This is going to be a fun night indeed. If you're wondering where the hell is Kale, he's ditched me, he didn't even bother to leave a message like "sorry can't make it" or whatever.

I'm deadly mad at him.

3 hours ago...

I checked the clock, and it says 8:00 pm I only have 1 hour left before kale arrives. I'm in front of my vanity mirror curling my hair and adding some makeup to spice up the night.

Red dress goes with red lipstick! so I stole some makeup products in my parents room since they're not home yet.

shit my masterpiece I look decent for a moment before I heard a loud thud outside. I walk down the stairs to check what's that noise all about.

I walk like an assassin just in case I might die here now, but I probably won't.

"WHo's THere???" I asked while holding a small blade that supposed to be used for my eyebrows.

"Ugh-" I heard the sound and when the intruder stood up I kicked him to my horror he looks somewhat familiar.

"Ouch nice kick princess" he said

"RIVER??!" I shouted

"Hello" he innocently said

I was confused for a moment, I'm not expecting anyone tonight except for Kale of course. I wonder if he sent his brother again as a substitute for tonight or something.

"Why are you here?" I asked. while walking inside the house. "I'm worried that you don't have a date for the party later" he answered. I offered him a glass of water and some snacks, and he gladly ate them.

"I'm going with Kale" I said with confidence to mock him. He just smirked and drinks his water. "Well we have a bit of the problem there" he's contemplating if he will continue or not, so I urge him to go on.

"He's not home and I think he'll ditch you, so I came to the rescue, Ya know like a handsome prince" then he winks. This guy is so full of himself, isn't he?

"Handsome prince my ass" I whispered

"Are you saying something?" he looked at me with his raised eyebrows and amused face

"Nothing whatever" I was walking towards my room when he followed me.

I turn around just in time almost bumping into him, this time I was the one who raised my eyebrows "And why are you following me?" I almost laugh with his scared expression "because your house is freaking big with nobody downstairs but me and your freaking scary figurines"

I let him inside my room since I trusted him now, but I don't know why the change of heart. Last time I remember I'm always furious when I'm with him.

I turned on the television and laughed when courage the cowardly dog is on show. "Funny huh so I make you laugh now" he smirked "whatever scaredy-cat" I threw the pillow at his face made him laugh too.

"So you're not getting ready?" I asked "Nope this is my OOTD" He quoted in the air using his fingers "besides I looked good in anything you know" he turned to me sideways to flex his body

"Arrogant jerk" I said while getting my hair and light make up done. Fortunately he silently watched the cartoon seriously like a kid. I smiled thinking how hilarious he is right now.

So I took advantage of that and went to my walk-in closet to get dress. I decided to change my outfit since I'm with River and not Kale. I put on a simple classy yet chic silk white dress hanging prettily in my thighs. The thin straps perfectly embraced my backed making a crisscross design matching up with white heels.

I went outside to see River quietly watching Catdog now I smirked a little then went over to his place to tell him I'm ready.

He felt my presence and turn his head in my direction. I saw something glint in his eyes but can't figure it out though.

Maybe admiration? does he think you look cute now hmm

"What?" I asked "What?" he repeated. I rolled my eyes at him "I'm ready now" "I can see as well" he said sarcastically "aren't we going now?" I asked " Wait let me finish this first" he said seriously. I looked at him, and he looked back saying he's serious about finishing the Catdog show.

I suppressed a laugh which turned into giggles now he shot a look again in my direction telling me to keep quiet. Man, this guy is really something huh.

I literally fell asleep waiting for him to finish that cartoon show. I suddenly woke up in a scenario where I'm in the passenger seat of a car and him driving.

Am I seeing this right? I bolt up quickly from the shock. "WHat the hell?" I said " Goodmorning?" he replied "WHy- he cut me off quickly and narrate what happened earlier.

Basically, he was waking me up after watching, but I won't budge, so he contemplated on what to do, and yeah I ended up here in his car. "So I decided to carry you here " he's so proud like he did something right "you kidnapped me" I shot back "duhhh as if" he mimic my voice

Then we broke into laughter.

The whole night is super fun and I almost completely forgot about his brother. I snatched the glass shot to River and the crowd cheer.

"Andra! you look stunning" I turned around to see my friend Eya with his boyfriend, Jason.

"Hiii" I hugged them both and asked where is Nathan "I don't know that guy his acting weird a while ago" she replied I just nodded and informed her that Kale is not here.

"wait what? so who are you with? she asked "Hey andra come hereee" we turned around to River enjoying the play. Eya looked at me knowingly and I just shrug. "It's him" I pointed out "I'll tell you the story after kay?" "Sure lady, better filled me up with information" she demanded

I walked out to go to the bathroom and fix my drunk self, I smiled at everyone who I passed by. I look like a disaster. I hurriedly fixed my hair and put retouched my makeup before stepping out into the bathroom.

I caught Chris alone outside and he waved at me. "Are you enjoying the party?" he asked "Absolutely, this is fun" I giggled "You're a bit wasted there" he chuckled.

"No, I'm absolutely not" Which I know what I said is a lie. I walked towards him and a random drunk guy pushed me. Gladly Chris caught me "Hey careful there guy" he shouted we heard a sorry in response.

"I'm okay thank you" I feel his hands on my waist straightening me to contain my balance. "better watch out from drunk runners" he laughed "Will do sir" then I made a salute gesture.

I left Chris now and went in to find River.

"ALrightttt LAidiesssss and Gentlemen the dance floor is now open everybody gathers around and let the party begin again" I guess it's the DJ who talked, and I guess he's also drunk now.

The music played is an old song which some dislike and some vibe up with

Do you remember, 21st night of September? Finally, I saw him.

"Wanna dance?" I asked smiling widely. "No, never" he glared I dance in front of him until he gives in.

Love was changing the mind of pretenders

While chasing the clouds away

"WHile chasing the cloudss awayyyy" I sang "Comee onnn" I pulled him, and he didn't protest.

Our hearts were ringing

In the key that our souls were singing

As we danced in the night

Remember

How the stars stole the night away, oh yeah

I put both my hands in his shoulder "this is not a slow dance you know" he said amused by my action " I knowww so spin me" I twirl and twirl until I lost my balance. We both fell on the floor laughing.

Hey, hey, hey

Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?

Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September

Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day

"Stupid" he said "that was fun" he admitted "See toldd yahhh" I pulled him in and out then twirl again "Okay that's enough I'm taking you home" he scolded me like a child.

I purse my lips waiting for him to pick his car. I'm so sleepy what's taking him so long? I received a text message from an anonymous sender.

From: Anonymous 2:25 am

'be careful always'

I ignore the message maybe it was spam or a prank something. I was lost in track of my thoughts. When River arrives I quickly hop in the shotgun seat.

"turn on the music first" I demanded "okay madame" he sarcastically said

Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and

Stars are falling all for us

Days grow longer and nights grow shorter

I can show you I'll be the one

"I will never let you fall--" he sang, and I close my eyes letting his voice doze off to sleep.

I woke up feeling my hard pillow beside me, the sun is peeking through my window and the alcohol reeks in my bed. The pillow moved and suddenly a realized it wasn't a pillow. I froze, I open my eyes fully and saw that River is beside me.

"aaaAAAH" I screamed "WHAT WHAT IS THERE A FIRE?" he shot up in panic "WHy are we sleeping together!?" I half-shouted. He looks frustrated and sleepy.

"You don't want me to go home last night because you saw a cockroach" he simply said "A what?" I asked again to confirm if I hear it right "Cockroach" he repeated.

"Can I sleep now?" he pleads "I'll explain everything later, and nope nothing happened to us" then with that he goes back to sleep.

I freshen up and preparing to cook pancakes and order foods from McDonald's. Just in time River decided to go down. I still can't believe that we slept together. This is crazy.

he greeted me a "Goodmorning" before heading towards the water dispenser. I set the table with burgers, fries, a hot coffee, and matching pancakes with chocolate and blueberry syrup.

"hmm delicious" I bit the burger and offered River the other one. "Care to share what happened?" I asked.

"Last night, you keep screaming because you saw a cockroach, and it landed on your face." he sighed

"Unbelievable" I muttered. "Yeah your unbelievable you also cried by the way" he said amusingly.

"Okay stop it" I said now ashamed of myself. His phone beeps and reads too seriously.

STOP STARING AT HIM

I shake my head to bring back my sanity. "hey thanks for the food I'm going now" he said in a serious tone "Oh okay keep safe" I said "You also don't be too clumsy kay?" he reminded me I laughed and nodded at him.

"Also keep our secret safe" he smiled then drives away.

What secret? I can barely remember anything last night. But one thing I remember is last night was absolutely fun.
