Chapter 5 A kiss

Steve's P.O.V

Anger; anger is what I'm feeling right now. How dare he talk to me like that. How did Ariel even end up him? not my problem though cus they really fits each other and both rude. I really need water to cool myself down.

"I can see you're a Christian and you probably know what happened to Steven in the Bible when he broke the rule....They stoned him to death" I could still hear his damn voice in my head. Coming to this party is the biggest mistake I've made. I must say she really have an amazing voice even if the song she was singing is not my type of music; I even did'nt know when I was smiling when she was on stage.

"Where can I get water?" I ask some random girl. She seems fine, sobber and not really pretty

"Oh come with me" she says and walk away. I stand for some seconds wondering if I should follow her or not. Seeing I can't stand the dryness in my throat I decide to follow her.

"He is thirsty" she says to a strange muscular lady. She definitely look like man to me.

"Sure" the muscular lady reply and turn to bring me water I think. I don't even know what time is it. The watch in my hand has stop I guess I'll fix that when I return home. My eyes move around checking if I'll see any wall clock in the house. I finally spot one at the entrance. 4:15am? What the fuck! I thought I've used only one hour here, how did it turn out to be 5 hours already. I really need to leave now before my mom wake up.

"Here" the muscular girl hands me a glass of water. I gulp in one goal without checking what she gave me. Feeling a strange taste in my mouth I look at her and can see a smirk on her face.

"What did you..." I couldn't finish my word when my body starts to feel weird and my stomach upset.

"Easy boy...wanna play" the girl who bought me here says almost as a wispher. She move closer grabbing my trouser close while trying to unzip it. Her lips comes close to mine. Fuck! She smells horrible. I quickly push her away and make my way into the crowd while she curse at me calling me a gay.

My vision is getting blurry and knees weak. This is the first time I'm taking achohol not just achohol but a strong one. Not even a sip but a whole glass! The pain in my stomach grows worse making me want to puke. The house is still packed and the music is so loud. I don't even know where the bathroom is.

"I'll be back I need to go to the washroom" I hear someone says, I don't even care if it is a male or a female voice. I can't even see clearly as my vision keeps getting blur.

I manage to follow the person to wherever he or she goes. The person stop and enter a room in which I did the same. Thank God it's the toilet, I enter one of it and throw up everything in my stomach. Feeling a little bit relax I sit on the floor. My mind is still fuzzy and sight blur. I shake my head several times as if it would clear my sight but it didn't. I could hear someone running water in the same toilet.

I need to get out of here before thing gets worse. I stand using the wall for support and open the door slowly. My knee becomes so weak, if it's not for the walls, I would have probably fall.

"Oh my God" I try raising my head when I hear a female voice. I guess I entered the female bathroom. I raise my head slowly to see who it was. A girl with a rose tattoo comes in view, seeing she is not putting on any cloth apart from her undies I move my sight quickly.

"Steve?" Oh great! She knows me.

"Put on some cloth. Will you?" My voice comes out like an old drunken man. I hear her chuckle.

"What are you doing in the female bathroom. Did a girl drag you here to give you a blow job?" I hear her ask.

She says another thing but I couldn't hear it because everything went blank.

...

I groan while trying to wake, wondering why my mom haven't come Knocking at my door yet. Opening my eyes slowly, it takes me a while before I realize I'm not in my room. The memory of last night comes by, one after the other.

"Fuck!" I jerk myself up and regret it immediately. My head is banging seriously, holding my messy hair I hiss in pain. I look around the white room. Ariel's pictures are everywhere. Her childhood picture is the one that caught my attention the most; she looks aderoble unlike how she is now with all those peircing and black make-up.

"If you're done staring at my pictures, you can tell me" I hear someone says and turn to see Ariel at my back. It seems she had been standing there for a while.

"Here's your hangover soup, I'm sure your head is banging right now" she tell me handing over a bowl of soup to me. I made sure I stare at it well before putting it in my mouth.

"First time?" She asks.

"Hmm?" Not sure of what she is asking.

"Is this your first time drinking?" She asks. She really have this captive beautiful blue eyes one could not stop staring at.

"Yeah" I look down at the bowl of soup and drink as it is still warm.

"I can see that...you do have zero tolerance for alcohol, how did you even get it?"

"I don't want to talk about it" I say and finish the bowl of soup"

"You know what, you look better without your glass on" I tap my face and realize my glass is truly gone. She hand it over to me before I can even ask. I can't even remember what happened after I had drink. The only thing I remember was me following a random person to the toilet.

"Hungry?" She asks. Why does she even care if I'm hungry or not. She's the reason I'm in this mess. Remembering my mom; God I don't know what to tell her.

"No, I'm not thanks" I say not looking at her.

"You're sure? Cus you've been sleeping for hours".

Did she just say hours? "What time is it?" Parting my lips.

Ariel stare at me for a while. I notice her eyes on my lips before she quickly avert her gaze. "4pm".

4pm? I slept for a whole day, not just any day but Sunday. What will I tell my mom when I get home. I groan, take my stuff and leave the room. Reaching the bottom of the stairs I could not recognise the place again. It was clean as fuck! It doesn't even look like the place we had party last night.

A woman who seems to be in her forties is busy mobbing the floor. 'Is this her house?' I ask myself when I see a big frame of Ariel in the large sitting looking beautiful.

I storm out of the house, board a taxi and head home. The more I think of my mom, the more anxious I get. I could have made it home early last night if it wasn't for that asshole lady.

Reaching home, I slam the door behind me after paying the taxi driver. I take a deep large breath before entering the house.

"I'm home" I say with an arkward smile on my face.

"Welcome home honey" my mom says with a smile. Wait! did she just smiled. I notice my dad also smiling at me but seriously what's going on? Emma and Abi is not here probably they went to visit one of my aunt.

"You must be hungry" she says and yeah! I'm really hungry right now but seeing her smile made me lose my appetite.

"Uhmmm....mom I can explain"

"Eat first...then we'll talk" she says and goes into the kitchen.

"Evening dad" I greet him trying to get some clues from him but he greet back instead.

"Go and freshen up Steve! You look like a ghost" she says from the kitchen.

...

"Oh my God! Steve what happened to your head?" Chris asks when he sees my head covered in a small bandage. Yeah! My mom deciplined me last night she hit my head with anger.

"My mom find out" just the short word is enough for Chris to understand.

"Oh! I expect it to be more than this if she finds out...it seems she has cool down a little" Chris tease and I hit him on the head.

"Hey guys" Lydia comes to greet us. She look more beautiful and smells incredible today making me wonder if she has a date with someone. I got bored one-day and remember what Chris said about Lydia blushing and i doubt it to be true when I found out what it means.

"Oh Steve what happened to your head..."

"I fell!" I quickly reply before Chris does.

"At the party?"

"Yeah...at the party"

"So how was it?" They both asked at the same time.

"The worse day of my life" I tell them while remembering what happened on Saturday night.

"What happened?" Lydia ask.

"I don't want to talk about it" I reply immediately.

"Is it that bad? I'm just curious...cus I have been to a party once before and it isn't that bad as you say" Lydia says playing with the tip of her bag.

"Trust me... it's that bad" I mean the incident of the alcohol is still on my head. A picture of a girl with a rose tattooed at her back wearing only her undies flash in my memory.

"Ariel?" I wispher to myself. I had pass out before Ariel and she was only wearing her undies. I cover my mouth at thought of it; Johnny is going to kill me if he finds out.

Chris chuckle "what's wrong?"

"Nothing" I say composing myself. Ariel didn't seems to care about it so I shouldn't care either; the problem is Johnny. He won't find out unless I or Ariel tells him.

...

Monday's isn't that stressful since I and Lydia did not have much class so we both leave the school premises together.

"So this is where we part" she says smiling. She had been smiling a lot lately especially when I'm around her.

"Yeah I guess"

"Will you be free tomorrow evening?" She asks.

"Yeah sure" I don't have any appointment with Ariel tomorrow. I'll only be teaching her three times a week.

"That's cool" she smile brightly and blush a little.

Not knowing what to say, she stare into my eyes while her lips is part. I don't know the force of attraction that is between the both of us but somewhere in my heart didn't wish we should just be friends.

Before I could process what's going on, Lydia is already close to me, so close our chest is touching each. I look down to meet her grey eyes. My mind is racing like crazy wondering what will happen next. She crash her lips against mine catching me totally off guard.
