969 Words
After school Jasmine and I start to get everything ready for the party. We placed the order for a bunch of pizzas and Jackson and his friends got a lot of beer and liquor also sodas. After setting the house up I decide to go get a shower and get ready for the party. I break down and cry in the shower again it's the only place I allow myself to breakdown. After my breakdown I climbed out the shower wrapping a towel around myself and go into my room.
"Well good evening birthday girl," I hear a familiar voice say.
I turn around and find Ryder standing against my door. He's gazing at me smiling.
Why is he in my room? Ughh and I'm standing her in just a towel.
"Umm what are you doing in here?" I ask.
"I wanted to see you before everyone steals your attention away from me," he says.
"Well now really isn't a good time," I say
"Oh trust me now is a perfect time," he says smirking.
"Nope no it's not," I plead. "Can you please leave so I can get dressed?"
"Why would I want to do that?" he asks.
"Because this is my room and I'm literally standing here in just a towel," I respond.
"Well I'm not leaving. You can get dressed in front of me or in the bathroom but I'm not going," he says.
Ugh this Damn boy. I don't know him well but I can tell he's stubborn and determined. I will not give into him tho and I will not dress in front of him either.
I grab my clothes Jasmine gave me for the party and I headed in the bathroom locking the door behind me. I put the clothes on and head back out to do my hair and make up. Ryder is watching me very intently. I can see that smirk on his face. After I finish my hair and makeup I go to walk out the room not saying another word to him. He grabs my wrist turning me to face him. I back away and right into the wall.
"Your outfiit is missing something," he says.
"Like what?" I ask, as he is stepping closer to me.
He pulls something out of his pocket and places it around my wrist. I hold my wrist up looking at it and it's a beautiful diamond bracelet.
"It's beautiful," I say. "Thank you."
"Your welcome but if you really want to thank me a kiss will do," he responds.
"This is all I can give you," I say as I kiss him on his cheek.
I walk downstairs to meet my cousins and Ryder follows not long after. After a little bit the party is in full swing. People are dancing and drinking and having fun. Abby came to the party as well. Jasmine gets me to drink some just having fun. Before I know it Jasmine her friends me and Abby are all up dancing and just enjoying ourselves. Next thing I know Ryder is behind me.
"Come get a drink and sit out back with me for a minute," he requests.
"Nope not going to happen," I respond.
"Please," he asks giving me puppy dog eyes.
"Ugh fine but just a few minutes," I respond. I follow him outside to the deck and I drink a mixed drink.
"When my drink is gone I'm going back in," I say.
"Okay. I honestly just have a question," he says. "Why don't you want to go to dinner with me?"
"Because I'm not one of those girls who is okay with hooking up. I don't judge others for their choices but me I'm not that girl. I've only ever had one boyfriend and he dumped me. I don't want to get caught up with another boy I just want to finish out school." I respond.
"You're a good girl aren't you?" he asks.
"I used to not be. I used to go to parties and have fun all the time but I went through a couple of traumatic things and decided to stop partying and everything else," I respond.
"So how did you end up living with Jasmine and Jackson and them?" he asks.
I really don't want to get into that conversation. it'll ruin my night and make me depressed.
"I don't want to talk about that. I probably should head back inside," I say.
"I'm sorry I wasn't trying to be insensitive," he says as we step back in the house.
"S**t," the girl who was making out with Ryder just this morning says.
I ignore her and go to find Jasmine and Abby again. By the end of the night I am completely wasted and so is Jasmine and Ryder. The party ends and I head upstairs. I felt myself trip when I felt someone wrap their arm around my waist. I look over to find Ryder there helping me. He walks me to my room and he helps me climb in bed he goes to walk away.
"Ryder," I say as I grab his hand, "Thank you." He turns around to look at me and I lean up and press a sweet kiss to his cheek. He turns to face he has a kind of confused look on his face that quickly switches to that smirk he does.
That smirk is so sexy. Oh my goodness did I really just think that? I mean I'm not lying but he can never know that. He is so cute. Would it hurt to just kiss him once? Maybe this is all because I am drunk but oh well.
I reach up and grab his shirt pulling him down to me and slowly but surely I plant my lips on his.
