"This dress is way too short," I said, looking at the house where the party was, but Zoe just looked at me and rolled her eyes. "Fine, I like it," I said. It was a red skater dress that I was crazy about. I paired it with a tight fit leather jacket, black leggings, and black high heel boots. I curled my hair in loose curls and had a bit of makeup on.
"Let's party!" Zoe yelled as she opened her door.
Some other kids walking by yelled "Yeah!" back at her and she giggled.
I swallowed and got out of her car.
This was the first party I have ever been to, I never wanted to go to one, but Zoe wanted me here and I couldn't say no.
Only because I said yes and not paying any attention. I had to laugh at myself for that.
As we walked into the house, the size of it stunned me.
"Who's house is this?" I asked Zoe, and she mumbled someone's name I didn't know. She guided us to the kitchen and got some drink for us.
After three beers and two shots, we ended up on the dancefloor.
Zoe and I have been dancing for four songs and we were still going.
I have missed so much by not going out and promised myself to have more fun. Especially with Zoe.
Donovan showed up, and I was dancing on a table with Zoe.
He tried to get us off.
"Gen, Zoe, get off there!" He kept yelling, and we laughed and got off the table.
"Gen, how much did you drink?" Donovan asked me and I shrugged.
He was furious at me for having fun.
"Donovan!" Wrapped my arms around his waist and bumped his hip with mine. "Relax, I'm just having fun for the first time." I smiled, and he sighed.
"Fine, don't take any drinks from strangers." He looked serious, and I nodded and ran off to look for Zoe. I ended up dancing in the kitchen as I got another drink. Zoe found me and grabbed me by the arm. "Dance off! Come on!"
I followed her to the living room, and kids were dancing in the middle. I got excited and Donovan looked me with a smile.
"Have a go Gen, you haven't been dancing all night just to watch." He smiled at me and I gave it a thought and then shook my head.
"No, I'm not that good." I pointed at the guy in the middle.
He laughed and pushed me into the circle.
The guy danced in front of me and I just stood there and watched him. He was confident and then the music stopped, and the guy shouted at the person in charge of the music and a new song started.
I danced and the guy in the circle joined in and we danced together; he followed my moves, and everyone was cheering, and then Zoe joined in.
I laughed and tugged Kevin into the circle, just as he arrived.
We had so much fun, and then most of the kids followed us. When the song ended, everyone cheered, and the guy gave me a high five.
"Round two?" he asked, and I nodded.
We then danced to one of his songs and it was amazing, I missed out on all the fun by staying at home all these years.
The dancing tired me out; I saw Donovan standing by Kevin who gave up after the first song; I walked up to them.
"Hey!" I hugged Donovan, and he chuckled.
"Having fun, Gennybean?" he said against my hair.
"Yeah!" I giggled and placed my hand over my mouth.
"I don't think she had this much fun, ever." Zoe laughed.
Zoe came to ask Kevin to take her home, and he agreed.
"Don't worry, I will take Gen home," Donovan said to them.
"Thanks, Don." Kevin smiled and kissed my cheek and left with Zoe.
I went back to the dancefloor, and I pulled Donovan with me, everyone was looking at us and I just ignored them.
"Genevieve, I don't dance." He whispered in my ear, but still tugged him with me, "Fine." He rolled his eyes and grabbed me by the waist, and my breath caught.
He smiled at me and took my hand, and I place my other hand on his shoulder. We moved to the rhythm of the song.
I giggled, and he swung me around. He had a big smile on his face, showing off those beautiful dimples.
When the song ended, he pressed his forehead against mine and sighed.
"You are making me do crazy things, Genevieve."
I tilted my head back and looked at him.
"But you like it, Donovan." I grinned.
He leaned down and kissed me gently; I kissed him back and with equal softness.
He smiled against my lips. "I love this Genevieve."
He gave him another kiss before he pulled away to answer his phone.
"Rax?... Yes, why?... I have to take Genevieve home... What?... No!" he looked at me and frowned. "Rax, so help me God... Yes, for moments like this, yes... We are leaving now." He ended the call and shoved his hand behind his neck.
"I need to go home quickly, I'll take you home afterward if that's fine?" he cringed.
I laughed at him. "It's fine, let's go."
I took his hand, and we left the party. I phone Jeremey and asked him if I could stay a little longer because I was having a lot of fun and he said I could come home whenever I'm ready.

The drive to Donovan's house was fun; we sang to some cheesy 90s hits.
The alcohol was still in my system, so I was singing at the top of my lungs and danced a bit.
We drove into a nice part at the edge of town and stopped in front of big black gates.
I shot a look at him, "where are we?" I asked and he smiled.
"Home" he winked as the gates opened and drove in. The driveway was long and lined with trees.
I was quiet until we stopped at a massive mansion looking house, his house.
"You live here?" I sounded dumbfounded.
"Yes." He said and got out of the SUV and walked around to open my door for me. I got out and was in complete shock. His home is a goddamned mansion!
He took my hand and guided me towards the giant double doors and opened one for us to enter. There was music playing loudly from somewhere, and it was most definitely my kind of music.
My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, the inside of this place was beautiful!
"Sorry about the music." Donovan cringed, and I rolled my eyes and followed the sound.
It sounded like a live concert, and with every step I took, my heart rate went up.
He followed me, and finally, we ended up in an office.
Finding Raxton with his back towards the doors and was leaning over an enormous book.
I walked over to the couch and sat down and smiled like an i***t, and he had a strange look on his face when he looked at me.
I felt comfortable and tilted my head back on the couch and sang along with the song. I loved music, and it was part of my daily life; I liked different genres and being here listening to this music at this volume made me feel more at home here than at my home.
I opened my eyes and both of them were looking at me like I just grew an extra head; I waved at them and Raxton gave me a weird wave and kept staring.
I laughed, and Donovan turned the music down so we could hear each other.
"You have taste lady." Raxton grinned at me and gave a small nod, and I returned the nod. "I'm getting drinks and then we can get started." He pointed at the books and then walked out.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked as I walked towards the table.
Donovan stood by the table and leaned with both his hands on it and gave the books a look.
"We are doing some research for a project that Raxton has to do." He said while reading.
"About angels and demons?" I asked in a funny tone.
Donovan nodded and continued reading and turning the pages.
I laughed, "this," I pointed at the books, "is mostly just written to scare people." I said.
Donovan's eyes shot up to mine, and he looked shocked.
"Some of them, Yes." He frowned at me. "What do you know about them?" He pointed at the books.
"Well, angels are 'supposed' to be good and demons are 'supposed' to be bad, but I disagree." I pulled the chair out and sat down.
He sat down in the chair next to mine and tilted his head to one side and looked at me with a grin.
"Supposed?" He propped his chin on his fist.
"They are all angels, aren't they?" I asked as I raised my brows in question.
Raxton laughed from the doorway, "What makes you say that?" He looked amused and handed beers to us. I thanked him and took a sip.
"Demons are fallen angels, so they were good once." I raised a brow and continued. "So, angels can still become bad in my opinion." I frowned, saying that and both guys looked at each other with wide smiles. "What?" I asked cautiously.
