JACE's Point of view
It was 10 pm and the party has already started because the blaring music disturb my nap. So I dressed up and decided to grace people with my handsomely face. I was descending the stairs when my eyes caught sight of Doll.
Doll was in her own world when she entered the room. Her cheeks tinted red when she realised that she's the source of all the boys attention. Doll went behind Kylie to hide herself but I can still see her heavenly beauty.
The thing made me smile and my eyes twinkle was the dress. Doll was actually looking amazingly gorgeous in that dress. I specifically went to buy that one shoulder dress. It reaches just above the knee. My Doll...!
I fastly moved my legs and ran straight to my girl only to pull her to my chest and give her a long hug. She immediately wrapped her small arms around me and said something like can't breathe which made me laugh and I broke the hug.
"You are looking absolutely beautiful"
I said in dolls ear and she blushed hard. I was still holding her through the elbows as if she will disappear as soon as I left her touch.
"Thanks. You're not to bad yourself."
She said and thats when June pulled her hand and took her along with herself.
I rolled my eyes and went to where my boys were chilling at. Even when the party was at my house, I didn't do any preparation, not even a little bit of helping. My brother Danny managed it himself because some of his college friends were going to come also.
"Danny did really well!"
Sam stated sipping on his beer. I nodded and looked around at the sea of people. The room was full and lights were dim.
"Half of the people here are Danny's old friend."
I shouted over the loud music.
"Yeah I saw them all heading to the pool"
Kyle said gaining my attention. My lips instantly turned into a thin line.
"s**t Man.... Now we have to party here. He won't allow us there. Plus he's going to ruin the backyard with the way he party"
I showed my dismay and chugged down the beer in my cup.
"Let's go the basement"
When Sam suggested the basement I was the first one to look at him with smile.
"But first I have to find my girl. Where is she though?
Kyle searched for her but she wasn't in the crowd.
"Bro do you even know your girlfriend?? She probably caking her face with makeup in my bedroom. Last time when mom was here, she found some makeup in my dresser. And she didn't shut up about me having a girlfriend."
Sam laughed and slapped Kyle on the shoulder.
"Not my fault. You spoiled her. You called her your little sister not me."
He said and I rolled my eyes.
"You guys go ahead, I will drag them to the basement."
When I said Sam passed me a knowing look. Like he knew what I am gonna do. I smirked and walked off from there.
.
I bashed on my bedroom door and when it didn't open I bashed on it again. I knew the girls weren't going to open it. So I pulled my bedroom key from my pocket and was about to unlock it when it got open from the other side.
My eye's met with Skyler eyes and suddenly it's just the two of us in the world again. I pushed open the door to get inside and when I entered, I closed it behind me.
"Hey"
"Hey yourself"
I said when she spoke softly. I took her hand in mine and pull her with me to sit on the bed.
"Ky.."
"We didn't get a chance earlier to talk properly"
We both went to say something at the same time but she cut herself off and listened to me. I smiled at that but asked what she was going to say.
"Ohh nothing important..."
I nodded and keep drawing circles on the back of her palm.
"I was waiting all day to see you, meet you."
Touch you... My eyes met her and then went to her soft pink lips. Doll licked her bottom lips and pulled them between her teeth.
In that moment I didn't know what to say. The silence between us was too sweet to break. But someone had to break it.
"Is this your room?"
She asked. Her eyes twinkling with amusement. A smile tugged on her lips as if she found a treasure in here.
"Yupp... Its me with Danny."
I tapped on a pic she was looking. It was a pic from kindergarten.
"You... You look like your father..."
Doll murmured after examining my mom & dad photo. I nodded then realised her focus was not on me.
I pulled her to the shelves where my tortoise was enjoying his day. The moment dolls saw him she squealed and went to touch him.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god"
"Is this real?? I can't believe my eyes. It looks so cute. Woww. I wanna hold him."
She blabbered throwing her hands in the air.
"The it has a name. Atlas. But you can't hold him. He gets a little bitey with strangers."
I said leaning on the side of the shelves. Watching my doll all happy & bubbly.
"Oww... Mr Atlas, I hope one day we can be friends."
I laughed when doll pouted. Her lips jutted out. I can't believe her little action can be so cute.
She looked at me with side eyes and my laugh died down. I pulled her on me and wrap my arms around her waist. She became breathless but didn't put in an efforts to get away from me.
We were looking into eachother eyes. Peeking into one another soul. Our eyes darting back & forth on lips and eyes. And finally she closed her eyes and I kissed her strawberry lips.
Her hands were in my hair, ruining my hairstyle but I don't have the care in world when she's in my arms. I moved and pushed her on the shelves and continued devouring her lips when in a mere second we jumped away from eachother.
"What the f**k is your problem b***h?"
"Stop eating her face you rat"
Kylie and I screamed at the same time. Glowering each other down and challenging to back down. But dare I back off.
"Look what you did! You ruined her lipstick!"
She blamed me and stalked toward where doll and I were standing. Kylie's heel clicking on the tiled floor rapidly.
"Her lips looks better without your stupid dark lipstick!"
I exclaimed and looked at doll warmly. But her eyebrows drew together and she pushed me away.
"Shutup..."
Doll said and walked with Kylie towards the washroom. I shook my head and followed them but when I tried to enter with them Kylie forcefully shut the door on my face.
"Let us fix our makeup Jace. You already ruined enough."
Kylie screamed from behind the door.
"What do you mean by 'us'? The party is outside if you forget."
"We boys in the basement"
I tried again when no one said anything then left the room.
Descending the stairs, I walked straight to the basement and saw the guys settled. Grabbing a bottle of beer and sat my a*s between carter and Sam.
"I can't with these girl and there freaking love for makeup."
I spat the words out after sipping on my beer. Carter snort from my right and slap my thigh.
"You should have known that Jace."
He said over the loud music. I watched kyle as he shoot Sam in the game and got up from the bean bag screaming.
"Yes...!!! YES....!!!"
Kyle jumped and pump his fist in the air like a kid and came to sit on Sam's lap.
"Now boii now..."
He extended his palm infront of Sam and Sam reluctantly gave a bill of hundred dollar and pushed him off his lap.
Kyle literally tumbled down his lap and called Sam a b***h from where he landed. I laughed and jumped on kyle. Crushing him under me. Soon Carter and Sam joined. Kyle squeaky voice said something but we zoned it out.
They were playing game on my PlayStation. Where they bet 100 dollar bill. Apparently Kyle won and dramatically settled himself on Sam laps.
One by one we rolled off of Kyle and joined him on the floor. But soon we heard a loud cheering sound coming from the upstairs. We boys looked at eachother and stood on our feet to go and check what the hell is happening.
When we entered the living area everyone had already formed a circle around the room. Passing through the sea of people, I came to a stop and watched doll dancing with my brother.
Danny and Skylar were both performing a salsa dance. Everyone and I mean every soul in the living room were clapping and some boys whistling at their dance step. Some of them were making video of my doll.
My hands balled in a fist on my sides and I walked from there to the kitchen. I wanted her first dance of today's party with me and she gave my no, our first dance chance to him. Its not like I hate Danny for dancing with her but some experience I don't wanna share with anyone.
Grabbing a whiskey bottle, I took a huge gulp from it and closed my eyes. The whiskey burned through my throat to my stomach but it was nothing compared to what I was feeling from inside.
Images of dolls swaying her hips infront of Danny danced in my head and I opened my eyes. And there I saw her standing in all her angelic self. She was smiling but a frown soon replaced it and she stormed to where I was leaning on the kitchen platform.
"What is this?"
Doll asked taking the whiskey bottle from my hand and examining the label like there is something important written on it. My eyes watched her face like a hawk as her expression changed every nano second.
"Whiskey bottle baby..."
I said slowly like she's a little kid. I wanted to chuckle when doll rolled her eyes at my answer and shook her head.
"I mean why are you drinking whiskey Jace?"
She cleared as if I didn't get her when she asked me before. Pressing the word whiskey like its some illegal thing to drink it.
"You gave our first dance to Danny."
I stated, ignoring her questions or may be answering the question? Depends on how she wanna take it as.
Doll looked down and suppress her smile by biting on her lower lip. She then mimicked my position and looked outside the kitchen. There was no wall between the kitchen and living room. It only separated by the sliding door which I moved to the so these alcohol smitten people won't break it down.
"He insisted Jace."
She said softly and there I melt into a puddle. But her next word made me straighten up and grabbed her face in a tight hold.
"He's handsome, isn't he?"
Her words were like a multiple needle inserting in my heart at the same time.
"Please tell me you are not crushing over my brother?"
I asked. My face only couple inches apart from hers. But still its taking everything in me to not just closed the distance and claim her lips and tell her who she belong. Soon my doll.. soon.
"I don't know???... He's handsome and talented and everything a girl wants in a boy. And look he's not even that old."
She stated. A low dissatisfied growl escaped from my throat and I hold the back of her neck in a firm grip.
"Say that again doll!"
I challenged her not leaving her eyes for a second to make her feel I am gonna back down. But her next word make me loosen my hold on her neck and I took a step back.
