I was sitting next to a large pool lit from underwater lighting. The effect was mesmerising, so much so that I could hardly take my eyes away from the slightly rippling water which shimmered a soft cyan colour. There was a tiny bit of steam protruding from the surface of the water indicating that the pool was in fact heated. I couldn't believe how rich Tom Wilsons' family must be. After a while, I tore my eyes away from the water and took a long sip of my vodka mix. I shivered a little as the liquid travelled down my throat. It had been a while since I had drunk.
'You all good Noah?' I glanced over at Nick who was sitting on the same bench as me.
'Yeah I'm okay.' I said, quickly taking another sip.
I was keen to get tipsy as quickly as possible. I didn't want to be sober when Corey got there. I'm not sure how I would handle seeing him really so I'd rather do it whilst under the influence.
'What do you think of that chick over there?' Nick asked, pointing into a throng of people flooded by the light from the back door of the house.
'That's Britney isn't it?' I said, recognising the frizzy blonde hair and skimpy attire. 'I think she wants me tonight,' I continued rather dully.
'Shit, you should go for it mate. She's fucking hot.' Nick said, raising his eyebrows.
I laughed lazily and said, 'I don't know man, I'm not sure if she's my type.'
'Dude!' Nick punched me in the thigh, 'Hot isn't your type? You have to get over whatever's wrong with you man. If you don't stop sitting there like that then no girls going to suck your dick tonight.'
Wondering if that would be so terrible, I watched as Britney turned away from her friend and looked over in our direction. Before I knew it, we had locked eyes and she had started moving towards us.
'Shit mate, here she is. Don't fucking blow it.' Nick said, nudging me painfully in the rips.
There was nowhere to hide so I just took a few more sips of my drink before she arrived standing in front of us.
'Hi Noah.' She said simply.
My eyes lingered on her short skirt and protruding breasts as she sat down between the two of us.
Placing a hand on my leg, she said, 'I was hoping to see you here.'
Her breath reeked of alcohol so I had a hard time turning to face her. I wasn't nearly drunk enough for this. Glancing over, I noticed Nick giving me a thumbs up behind Britney.
'Aren't you happy to see me?' Britney said softly, her hand moving noticeably closer to my cock.
'Yeah, sure.' I said, still not looking at her.
I had just noticed a bunch of guys arriving to an array of cheers from partygoers. They were pretty far away and only partially lit by the house but I thought I could make out a short boy with dark brown hair in-amongst the other footy players.
'Do you want to go upstairs?' Britney said more insistently, closing her hand directly on my dick.
I jumped up suddenly, my eyes still fixed on the group of guys who were now moving into the house.
'Maybe later.' I said, throwing a glance at a shocked Britney still sitting on the bench, 'I've just gotta -'
I trailed off, not really knowing what to say. It didn't matter however. I quickly poured myself another drink and tried my best not to run towards the house. Most of the people were standing around the backdoor. Here, there was a radio sitting on a table full of alcoholic drinks of every kind. Some people had already begun to dance to the rock music protruding loudly over the chatter of desperate guys trying to hook up with girls. I moved through the throng and through the backdoor which led to a very messy kitchen. A few guys had ransacked the fridge and were passing food around. A big guy was already keeled over the sink.
Trying not to think about how much vomit may be filling the sink, I moved into a narrow hallway with a few loiterers. A guy and a girl were making out ferociously. He was pressing her into the wall rather roughly and his hand was lost up her skirt. Swiftly, I moved around them and turned to continue up the hall. In front of me however, was three guys I recognised.
I froze.
Lachlan was first, he threw back his hair and glanced at me as he passed. Tom gave me a similarly dark look. I guess they weren't all that impressed that I had left the footy team with such short notice. I was a pretty good player and from what I've heard, they haven't been doing very well since. I didn't really care at the moment however. All my focus instead, was drawn to the last of the boys.
His head was down but just before he passed, Corey looked directly at me. I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything. My mind had gone completely blank. My mouth was dry and I nearly dropped the drink that lay forgotten in my hand. Before I knew what was happening however, Corey had passed as well. He didn't say anything or even have enough time to adopt an expression.
Moments later, I still remained where I was. I considered turning and running after Corey but somehow, I sensed that I shouldn't. If I talked to Corey again, it would have to be alone.
'Oh fuck,' a girls voice squealed behind me.
I glanced around and caught a glimpse of the guy standing in front of the girl, his pants around his ankles. His smooth arse protruding from under his shirt. He was fucking her right there in the hall, his face buried in her exposed breasts. The girl glanced at me and I quickly turned and walked away.
