Leslie's POV:
Brandon and I walk into this party. I never really liked parties to be honest. I'm more of an indoors type of girl but since it was what Brandon wanted (because everything is always about him) I decided to go with him anyway. Brandon and I had been together for a year now. The first few months we started dating, he seemed like the perfect Prince Charming I'd hoped for. Romantic and all. That was until I realized he was an absolute douche of a guy. I've caught him cheating a couple times, well sometimes I think he did. He'd casually flirt with other girls right in front of me and of course, he would DENY, DENY, DENY. The sex was great.....at first before I started feeling like I was getting fucked by an 90-year old man. I had to get off by myself most of the time. I considered cheating once (wait, would it even be cheating since I was with Brandon?) but I never did. I stupidly gave in to his bullshit time after time after time and at this point, I was getting really sick and tired of it. Anyways, back to the party.
So Brandon leaves me all alone to go hang out with his "bros" at the pool. Great. I head over to the kitchen where I noticed a variety of drinks were placed. I fix myself a strong drink. Strong enough to knock me the fuck out and probably make me forget that Brandon ever existed in my life. I'm standing at the corner with a cup in my hand, bopping my head to the music as if I was having a good time (which clearly I wasn't) when I heard a deep voice in my ear.
"Hi Leslie."
I turn to my side and see Brent, one of Brandon's friends, smiling while sipping on his drink.
"Oh hey. Hi," I greet him.
"Why are you standing all alone here? Where's Brandon?" He asks.
"Umm, he's at the pool with the guys," I reply rolling my eyes.
"You didn't really wanna come here did you?" He asks.
I scoff for a second.
"No, not really to be honest," I reply.
"I kinda figured," He says while taking a sip.
"What about you?" I ask.
"If I wanted to come here?" He asks.
"No, no. I meant like, are you here with anyone? But yeah, that too," I slightly chuckle.
"No I'm not here with anyone. I was gonna leave and then I saw you," He says, "You wanna get out of here?"
Brandon was obviously going to stay at the pool for a while so I decided to leave with Brent.
"If you're cool, we can go to my place and just chill," He says as we walked to his car.
"Umm, sure," I reply.
We're in the car, Brent is driving, I'm leaning against the window staring through the night. It was getting a bit hot so pulled down the window to let the breeze blow through my hair and upper body as I leaned back on my seat. I noticed Brent turning his head back and forth a few times.
"Feels nice doesn't it?" He asks smiling.
