Juliet
“My head is sopainful, how many bottles did I even take last night?” I groaned. I and Zachare seating beside each other on their huge stairs. Zach was holding the videocamera that he saw at the sink on the bathroom that we were in.
“I can’t remember,there are this flashbacks but I couldn’t process everything.” A smile spreadacross his face, “You look hot with only your bra on by the way, you shouldhave just leave it be than wore a shirt above it.” He teased.
Before we even satat the stairs, I took the shirt that is hung on the wall hanger of the roomwhere I last saw some of my friends. I don’t know who it was from but I thinkit was one of my girl friends since it has printed designs of flowers. We didn’tbother waking them up and head for the stairs and selfishly watch the video forourselves.
“Stop it and letjust watch the damn video.” I said.
“Fine, just beprepared of what we find in here.” He said while pressing the play button ofthe video camera.
--
“Are they even on the room already?” Shaun asks. The video camera isfocus on him.
“I think so, let’s go check. Let’s show them this later.” Marcreplied. He was the one taking the video.
Everyone has their ears glued on the door to hear us on the room thatwe are in.
“Zach! What are we even doing! This is not seven minutes in heaven,you’re making me go to sleep you dumb head.” I retorted. My voice could beheard even the door is closed. Well what can I say? I’m drunk.
Chloe started laughing, “I guess we should just drink while we waitfor them to go back, let’s just leave them be.” She said while walking out andall of them followed her.
They went to the wall cabinet and everyone took their drinks. Marcplaced the camera on the table and didn’t bother to turn it off.
All of them are almost drunk to even say anything properly and yetthey are still seated on the floor and blabbering like non-stop.
“Since you’re two best friends are getting comfy on the room, whywon’t the two of you get comfy too?” Steven said to Chloe and Alex who areseated beside each other.
“Nah, don’t date older guys.” Chloe finishes with a drunken smile.
“Don’t date kids.” Alex muttered.
“I’m not a kid you stupid old brat.” Chloe retorted.
“Sure you’re not.” Alex said laughing. He is drunk and it was evidenton the look of his face. His face was red and his eyes are half close.
“If you’re not a kid then prove us that you could kiss a stupid oldbrat.” Shaun said. He was caught in the video making out with Bella but then hepulls out from the make out session when he heard the fuss that is going onwith the two.
“Then I shall!” Chloe said. She pins Alexander on the floor andstarted kissing him like crazy. Alexander didn’t back out and kissed her back.
“Get a room you twooooo, I can’t see this.” Stacy said while holdingthe bottle of the beer high up.
Chloe and Alexander stands up from the floor and took off. While I andZach got back. I was still drunk and my hands are wrapped around his arms, theonly one who isn’t drunk on the room was Zach.
“What happened with you guys?” Zach said with a confuse look on herface.
Marc picks up the video camera and focused it on me, “So how was theseven minutes in heaven?” Marc said, his voice was in the state of being drunk.
“None of your business! Get out of my sight and leave me alone with mylover.” I said in a high tone of voice. “What happened with you guys and why ismy best friend with Chloe?” Zach inquired. No one answered. Zach took thecamera from Marc’s hand.
“Oh, having fun are we?” Zach asks. He walks through the room whileholding the video camera. Bella was on the couch having her tongue stuck toShaun. “By the time you saw this tomorrow, all of you will go bezerk.” He saidwhile holding the camera.
He gets a bottle of beer on the wall cabinet and started to drink.“Zach, stop that. Let’s go back to the room and go like crazzzzzy!” I mutteredunder my breath. I sat down the floor and he chuckles as he focused the camerato me, “Do you like me Juliet?” He asks.
“Yes, just don’t tell anyone.” I said in a soft tone of voice.
“Wait for me. I’ll be bringing you on your bed soon.” He said whileplacing a kiss on my forehead.
Zach started to walk to the boys. Marc, Max, Steven and Bryan formed acircle.
“I dare all of you to take off your clothes! Who didn’t take it off isa gay.” Bryan dared. He started removing his shirt and jeans, the boys followedhim. Only leaving their boxers on.
“Hey Zach! You’re a gay. You didn’t take off your clothes.” Max saidlaughing with his eyes half open.
“Yeah sure, say all you drunkards what you want to say.” Zach saidwhile taking another beer bottle and drinking it.
He focused the camera to Adam and Stacy. “Hey Adam, I thought you arenot going to make out with a girl younger than you?” Zach asks, his voice seemsto be in a drunkard state.
Adam showed him his middle finger and Zach focus the camera on theothers, my girl friends.
“Ro—oocky! I found some good make up here, let’s gooooo have amakeover!” Zoey said while having a bucket of paint on her hand. “Let’ssss goto the room and do some makeeee over!” Rocky replied while she tries taking thebrush and putting some on Zoey’s face as they made their way on the room.
“Toilet paper fighttt!” Sara said. She was holding six toilet papersand was throwing it to Shaun and Bella. They instantly pulled from each otherand started chasing Sara. Skye and Sam followed them and started running likelittle girls like they were having fun.
“C’mon Juliet. Let’s go back to sleep.” Zach said while he was walkinglazily like a drunken man he was and he still was holding the camera.
I took his hand and followed him. We saw our friends doing a lot ofthings on the other room, painting each other’s faces, making out on the floorand some were wrapping each of their selves with toilet paper. Marc, Max,Steven and Bryan started running on the hallway with nothing but their boxerson.
I and Zach went inside my assigned room and Zach instantly fall thecamera when we saw Alexander on top of Chloe, they are under the covers but itwas evident that two are something doing r-18 related because their clothes arescattered all over the floor.
“What the f**k are you two doing?” Zach said.
I took the camera from the floor and started giggling, “Let’s justleave them alone and have our own time together.” I said while I pulled him onthe bathroom and close the door behind him. I place the video camera on thesink.
And then we started kissing each other and I was kissing him back, heremoved his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on while I remove my top off.We kissed and touch each other’s body like crazy and when I push him to getsome air, he fell on the bathtub.
“Hey, you asleep already? I thought we’re doing it tonight?” I ask asZach is unconscious because he hit his head hard.
“Fine, let’s just sleep.” I said muttering under my breath until Ifinally got to sleep. And that is the end of the video.
--
“No wonder my headaches!” He retorted but he placed a smile on his lips, “But I’m glad that Icould finally see that you truly like me and that make out session wassomething I would like to do again.” He teased.
My face is as redas a tomato. I’m embarrassed and a bit flustered. I can’t believe I just didthat. I can’t believe I confessed with him without even knowing it.
“I was drunk! Okay?I didn’t know.” I said, defending myself.
“Sure you do.Drunken people tend to say honest things you know.” He said with a huge smileplaced on his lips.
I was about to saysomething to defend my drunkard self until I heard Chloe screamed. And I andZach knew why that happened.
--
We rushed on theroom where the two were in. Chloe was covering her body with a blanket whileAlexander was trying to wear his pants. His face was a bit confused andhesitant of whether he wants to speak out or not.
“What the fuckhappened?” Chloe spat out. She was not crying but it was evident she was mad.As if she was violated even if she was not. The boys, Max, Marc, Steven andBryan hurriedly went to check on us and were still on their boxers. “What the fhappen dude? My head is so painful.” Steven said.
“Why is our facescovered in paint?!” Zoey shouted angrily.
Everyone seem to befreaking out right now and the only ones who have the answers for that was Iand Zach.
“Guys! Will you allplease calm down!” I screamed on the top of my lungs, “Everyone of you getdressed and we’ll all talk about it on the living room.” I said. I and Zachheaded to the living room and he still didn’t take my advice to get dressed.
When everyone isalready in the living room, Zach connected the video camera on their flatscreen television and everyone watched it. I just kept my eyes close wheneverthe camera was directed with I and Zach because I could feel the embarrassmentflooding all over me.
When the video wasabout to be played on the last part that we are going to make out in thebathroom, Zach instantly shuts the video off to prevent anyone from seeing it,“Basically, that’s the end of the story.” Zach said, taking the memory card ofthe video camera and keeping it to himself.
No one even spoke aword. Neither have I.
“Time for breakfastthen.” Zach said and he exited the room.
This day is goingto be a lot of awkward.
--
Breakfast becameawkward. The girls are seating at the opposite side of where the guys are.Alexander, Chloe, Stacy, Adam, Bella and Shaun were quiet. Well who wouldn't beafter seeing the video that they are having their tongue stuck to each other.What's more worst is that Chloe and Alexander did it. It's not like Chloe justlost her virginity, she lost it two years ago but the thing is, she just hadsex with someone older than her and that she doesn't know what really happenthat night because she was drunk. Besides the fact that I told everyone I likeZach, Chloe and Alexander's situation is much worst than ours. And I couldalways defend myself by saying I was drunk. I am seating opposite where Zach isseated. He kept on smiling everytime I take a glance at him. The others whohaven't had any make out sessions just kept their mouth shuts because theydon't want to be a bother to those who have done it.
Steven coughs,"So what should we do for today?" He asks after wiping his mouth withthe table napkin.
"I don't know,what do you want to do guys?" Bryan replied. He ran his hand to hischestnut brown hair and stare at Zach who still is eating but kept on smilinglike a sneaky cat.
"We could dowhat happen last night again if you want." Zach jokes. He chuckled softlyand no one seems to be delighted on his suggestion.
I kick him on thelegs and he groan in pain. I glared at him and what he did was smirk back atme.
"How about wehave this session where me and my girls will stay on one room and talk aboutsomething and you guys do the same. And when the awkwardness has been remove,we could go meet up the living room and think about something we can do?"Sara said. Others nodded and agreed to her suggestion.
After the awkwardand silent breakfast, all of the girls went to my room. I don't know what roomthe guys went but I'm positively sure that they are going to have a talk.
All of the girlssat down at the carpeted floor, their faces are just serious except for Stacy,Bella and Chloe who looks a lot of gloomy.
"I don't thinkthat anyone is to blame because obviously, we are all drunk." I stated.
Chloe let out afrustrating groan, "Yeah we're drunk and I can't believe that I just hadsex with someone who I barely even know."
"CorrectionChloe, you already know him, just not entirely." Rocky fusses. She's justmaking it worst.
"Well, I can'tbelieve that happened last night. But I'm happy that it didn't turn to be likewhat Alexander and Chloe." Bella stated while staring at both of her feet.
They are seriouslymaking it hard for Chloe to accept everything in.
I held Chloe'shand, "Let's talk. Privately." I muttered.
She nodded andfollowed me to the bathroom, I shut the door behind me.
"OhJuliet!" She leans on my shoulder and started to feel horrible abouteverything.
"It's nobody'sfault. I too made a ridiculous statement and actions last night. And I couldn'tbelieve we almost done it. But I'm glad he hit his head too hard." Ichuckled.
I felt her lipsform into a smile. "Yeah, I should've done that to Alexander too whilewe're on the bed together." She muttered.
"To tell youthe truth, I think I had the most bad experience hateful thing ever last nightbecause I just admitted to the guy that I like him." I sigh. She removesher head on my shoulder and look at me worriedly, "But you don't like him,right?"
I didn't respond, asmile formed into his lips, "I knewwww it!" She scoffs, "But whydo you keep on denying it when Marc and Max teased you after they watch thevideo?"
I rolled my eyes,"Duh Chloe? Why will I admit them that I like someone who I hated so much.And besides, I don't really intend to tell him that. I will keep it in and letmy feelings flush down the toilet." I said sternly.
She shakes herhead, "No, you can't do that. You like this guy and positively sure helikes you because I can see it whenever he looks at you." She said boldly.
"No, hedoesn't. He's just that playful to girls." I protested.
"If she reallyis, then he should be flirting with our girl friends right now." Sheemphasize the word girls. She folded her arms against her chest, "AndJuliet, this is the first time I could really see your face brighten whenyou're with that guy. I'm totally okay with him!" She squealed.
"Stop it Chlo,that isn't going to happen." I shifted the topic to her, "And let'sstop talking about us, are you okay with you know?"
She half-smiled,"No but it will get rid of my system eventually. This is the day that weshould have fun and not even a drunk mistake could ruin it. So let's go out andmeet those brats." She chirped happily.
--
My girl friendsseems to be in a good mood after having a long conversation that had took us anhour. After promising to each other that we'll never get drunk nor talk aboutwhat happen last night, we all decided to meet the guys in the living room.
They were the firstto arrive in the living room and all of them are watching a football match. Thegirls sat down at the floor.
"Are you allready to swimming?" Bryan asked.
"You mean swimagain to the pool?" Bella ask with a confuse look on her face.
"No, we'regoing in the forest not so far from here and everytime we visit here, we gothere to visit the lake, we tend to do cliff jumpings. For short, it'sfun." Steven said.
"Let's gothen!" Rocky and Zoey replied with a smile on their faces. Well they arealways up for an adventure.
--
The lake is somagnificent, the only people who are in here is us. I'm so glad that we get tospend the outing out here. The girls started stripping and leaving theirbikinis on while they jump on the lake. The guys were also on the pool withtheir swimming shorts.
Before I could evenjump in, I forgot to get my towel in Chloe's car. So I asked for her keys andhead to the car which is just ten minutes of walk from where the lake is.
"Where are yougoing princess?" The deep and husky voice said. You've got to be kiddingme.
"What do youwant now Zach?" I ask and turn my head to look at him. He only have hisswimming shorts on and his towel is hung on his shoulders. He is wet and it wasobvious that he already jump on the lake a while ago.
"I was justcurious as to why you left, I got up and then I followed you here." Hesaid with a smirk tugged on his lips.
I rolled my eyes infrustration, "I was just going to get my towel, you could head back andleave me be." I said, turning my gaze away from him.
He went beside meand started walking, "No can do. Can't leave the girl who likes me somuch." He said. Making his voice loud enough when he uttered the word'like'.
"I don't likeyou, okay? I was just being drunk." I replied back with bitterness in thetone of my voice. We reach the car, I open the passenger seat and took mytowel, when I turn around, Zach was in front of me, he was blocking me in. Hewas too close that I have to seat in the passenger seat while he was blockingthe passage way for me to not get out.
"Let me clearthis up princess, are you sure you really don't like me?" He askplayfully. His eyes are darted at me. His hair was wet and messy, he is toplessand his abs are just there, staring at me. This is the situation that any girlwill wish for if that guy is their husband or boyfriend but if not, then thisis something they want to get out of. And this situation is what I want to getout of.
"I'mpositively and one hundred and one percent sure." I protested. He didn'tseem to believe me and displayed a smug look on his face. "Do you want toknow what you said to me when we're at the beach and you're drunk?" Heasks, he seem to be amused on the expression that I'm showing him.
"What?" Istammered. I'm completely nervous. I wanted to get this guy away from mebecause if I want to dissolve the feelings I have from him, I should be stayingaway from him.
"You told meyou like me." He said proudly.
"I was drunkback then too." I defended, not looking at his eyes. I can't believe Isaid that before. I wasn't even sure I like them then.
He leans closer tome, making an inch of distance of his face from mine. I could see his eyesstaring at my lips and I didn't even move and look at him straight in the eyes."Drunk people tend to say truthful things when they are drunk. Sometimes Iprefer hanging out with someone drunk than people who likes to lie." Hesaid soflty.
I rolled my eyes,"Then go and hang out with drunkard people and get away from me." Ireplied.
"I will afteryou tell me the truth." He said bluntly.
I was so nervousand very confuse that I really wanted to shout and let him get away from me. Ilike him but I don't want to continue any longer because this guy will not evenlike me back and I'm just going to be hurt. I don't need to be hurt right now,I have a lot of things to settle.
"Say it."He said.
"What if Ilike you?! It's not like you truly care and besides you're just playing withmy--" Before I could even say everything that I have to say, his lips arealready glued on mine.
He pulls his lipsaway slowly, "I'm not playing with your feeling Juliet." He smiles,"Because Zachary Thomas Winters likes you too."
And that my friend,made my heart nearly explode. Zachary Thomas Winters likes Juliet Lois Martin.
