“If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween??.”
— Douglas Coupland
The day was going so monotonous without mom. I was standing on the balcony waiting for my mama because of today's s**t, I need her more, I need her here in my arms. I was missing her too badly, then suddenly Emma enters with her dashing steps.
Hey, my darling!! What's going on??? Emma asked with a cheery smile.
“Nothing babe just stressed about something…” I replied in a low voice.
Why What happened to you now ??? Emma asked me while looking into my eyes and holding my hand…
My father, wants us to spend our future with him and want to give us the same agony again. I just don't understand, what to do. Should I tell my mama about this or not?
Okay, babe, just relaxed. You don't need to overthink. I am here for you to disappear all your concerns for now. I am gonna tell you something, you will be exhilarated to hear that. Emma said jovially.
Heyyyy, really then please don't waste our time babe… Just tell me now without wasting any seconds. I only want to run out of my all worries for now. I asked Emma with inquisitiveness…
Okay, alright, so go and get ready.
My boyfriend Ryan is throwing a Halloween party, and you are invited there. We are going, babe. There will be boys, there will be liquor, and lots of s*x. We will have so much fun.
Parties are commonplace, and we can use them as an excuse to go wild and do all the stuff we never felt free to do at home. Our parents will never allow for such types of parties.
And the great thing is that Harry Potter is the theme of the Halloween party. Honey, It can be more of a traditional Halloween party, but perhaps a little classier.
We will be dressed in witch and wizard costumes. Glittery skulls, cobwebs, spiders, dripping candles, ravens, gourds, and skeletons would all be great items for our space. As a bonus, play some black-and-white horror films to close out the night.
Parties lace these events with excess, i.e., too much alcohol, drugs, s*x, and everything. Emma told me everything with great excitement.
Halloween! I love Halloween, the sweet smell of pumpkin pies, the cool, and crisp fall air, and especially the dressing up and trick-or-treating.
Emma, you know what, the best Halloween I ever had was at my cousin Dexter’s house in Nevada, and it was completely remarkable hanging out with him and his friend Duke.
That's also how I communicated with Emma about Halloween.
“Okay babe, now I am going to Ryan's home. He might need me there. Don't be late and come wearing some scary costumes. See ya. “
She left after hugging me.
I was about to close the door after leaving Emma when I noticed that my Mama was standing there.
Heyyyy honey, how are you???
I missed you so much.
My Mama said as soon as she came. She took me in her arms and started loving me.
I missed you too, mama. You can't even imagine how I have passed 2 days without you.
I replied to mama in a nostalgic tone while giving hugging her back.
Emma reached Ryan,
Hello babe,
How are you?
What about tonight's party??
Emma questioned Ryan.
Heyy, My chatterbox, my sweetie pie, my honey, where were you??
You didn't miss me, either.
I'm not gonna talk to you now.
Ryan's replied emotionally.
Emma went close to Ryan, She grabbed the collar of his shirt, and pull him towards her. Now she can feel his warmth of inhaling and exhaling. After getting too close, she closed his eyes with her soft hands and said,
“Oh come on, babe, don't get so angry.
Saying this, Emma parted his lips and start sucking them passionately.
Ryan's lips mashed against her as if trying to flatten and destroy her mouth. She hungrily pushed back, her mouth open, tongue pushing past his clenched teeth to the moist space within.
The bristles of his beard scratched against her soft cheeks as she gripped his head firmly as if to keep him from escaping. He worked his mouth against her, their tongues battling back and forth like wrestlers, each trying to pin the other.
Then, she whispered in Ryan's ear, "Do you still have any grudges against me?”
No, my love, how can one have such a stone heart? Ryan replied while tucking an open hair behind Emma's ears.
Yes, but that was a very short kiss, if I could have got a little longer… Ryan said while ticking her stomach.
You, i***t, come here and tell me about the evening party. Emma asked him with a puffy smile.
Okay, okay, come here sit beside me, I explain to you.
Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday of the year.
Probably because it’s hard to be too over-the-top when you’re decorating for Halloween.
So, I get to go all out!
Therefore, my annual Halloween party is the biggest bash of the year.
My Harry Potter party was one of the most popular Halloween party themes I’ve ever done. And yes, the people were all adults! That's my favorite thing…
There will be no shortage of girls, drugs, and alcohol.
I think it’s because there’s just so much to work with.
I turned my living room into the Great Hall complete with torches (fake flames of course) and all the house tables. Then added a Honey Dukes candy bar because what’s a Halloween party without candy?
The costumes are easy, too. I already supplied Harry Potter eyeglasses and clip-on ties for the people who can't afford to wear a costume.
And you come here on time to see the rest of the things. Ryan explained everything to Emma while putting his hands on her shoulder and trying to push her towards him.
Okay, I have to get ready; otherwise, I'll be late. I gotta go. See ya at the party. Emma escaped from there after saying this.
Alivia POV
I was so confused about deciding what to wear for tonight's party. I was pacing here and there around the house. Then suddenly my mama came to me and showed me her handy work. It was perfect!
Mama had helped me put on my costume and do my makeup and hair. Now I was ready for Halloween. My friends had rung the doorbell, and I hastily went to answer. When I opened the door, there they were. They were also dressed scary.
We all got ready and started going to Ryan's house. He didn't live far away from my house. So, it did not take us much time to reach his house. Within 15 minutes, we all were there.
Ryan did very enjoyable decorations for his house. He had kept black darkness in his whole house, furthermore, he had decorated it with dark lights.
He made pumpkin lanterns to decorate his home at Halloween. Not only that, but he removed the inside of the pumpkin, cut shapes for the eyes, nose, and mouth, and placed a candle in the empty pumpkin to make a scary face.
There were people dressed up in the most popular costumes including witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, zombies, and monsters.
I was a witch, Emma was also a witch, Noah was a ninja, Ryan was a vampire and his little sister Morgan was a skeleton. Noah didn’t think to get a costume, so he used a bunch of black clothes and a ski mask, to look like a ninja.
There were many more people, but I mostly avoid interacting with people, so I was just standing in the corner and staring at Noah. He covered his face with a mask, so it was very difficult to recognize him.
There were usually drinks, but they run out way faster, more of a laid-back environment. There was music, but not loud crazy fun because they were most likely trying to avoid the cops.
Almost everyone is tipsy, with a few people in clusters sitting around outside either making out, dancing somewhere, drinking, or just talking.
The occasional drunk person may be stumbling around. Talk about how the place looks as well. Occasionally, having that many drunken people can destroy a house or building.
Inside it was typically hot and sticky and sometimes dark. Girls were taking their shirts off. Emma and Ryan were going to the backyard, perhaps they were going to have s*x. Morgan was also kissing somebody. All were fully drunk, so there were just naked girls and alcohol everywhere.
I think there were also drug dealers who may be in a corner deep in the party or upstairs in a room because sequentially go upstairs and did not come on their feet.
I was standing when suddenly Emma and Ryan came to me and started making me drink. Subsequently, they were taking me to a room.
The messy room had empty bottles laid on the ground, waiting for someone to trip over them. I almost was a victim.
As I stepped over the god-awful mess, I noticed the music playing in the background. The tunes sounded like the music I just recorded in the studio. Emma was right, Ryan did choose my song for his party. All of a sudden, this party wasn’t so bad after all. Well, at least with my voice singing in the background.
Now I was also enjoying it. Then I found Noah in front of me with my blurry eyes.
That's why I don't drink too much because I know I lose my spirit after drinking alcohol. I don't have control over myself. Like I am eyeing Noah and losing control.
WTF? Why is he coming here?? What does he want? I muttered.
At this moment, he had no mask on his pretty handsome face. He was continuously coming toward me. Now he is just inches away from me. I can feel the warmth of his body.
He swept his arms around mine and crushed me tight. He leaned in ever so willfully. Likewise, he was too close to me that I can't breathe easily.
His chest was against my breast because of which my n*****s got too hard. I closed my eyes, breathing in the hot smoky air. I gasped lightly as his lips found mine.
Then he loosened his grip and put his lips to mine. I eagerly admitted as he brushed the tender skin of my lips with his rougher mouth. He parted my lips and licked them sensually. It was soft, like rain, yet it sent a shock through me like lightning.
Then savagely, he kissed me and pulled my head to him tightly. He kissed me like he wanted to be kissed as no girl had ever kissed him, soft and moist and hot and breathy, not trying to defeat a war but seeking closeness and the sharing of one breath, one sensation, one timeless and passionate moment.
He scented smoke and leather and sun. I felt dizzy, and my closed eyes saw stars as the blood thundered through me. Now he pulled back, but my arms remained around him. A shiver ran through my veins, and I was feeling butterflies in my stomach.
“Your lips are so soft," Noah said with wonder in his eyes. “And warm, and …” But now it was me who pulled him tight and my lips sought him again.
We kissed again. We were kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced, and … I felt like I am melting because every square inch of my body dissolves into his.
The next kiss was the kind that breaks open the sky. It stole my breath and gives it back. It showed me that every… kiss I’ve had in my life has been wrong…
You are wonderful, Alivia…
If you don't mind Can, I drop you at home.
I know you are drunk enough that you cannot walk on your feet straight.
Noah offered me a ride in a seductive voice.
I accepted his offer and said, thank you, Noah, for your favor.
The party was also about to end, and most people had gone. I went to Emma, who was still drinking liquor. I went close to her and ask her to go, but she denied it as she wanted to spend this night with Ryan.
So, after saying goodbye. Noah and I left for home.
