a party at some random guy's house was not the friday night you had in mind. but your friend had invited you to come with her, and you hadn't been out in a while. the house smelled like a mix of alcohol and smoke, and the bright led lights didn't make things better.
you were standing in a corner, red plastic cup in hand, watching your friend go off with some guy she just met (even though you tried to talk her out of it). there weren't many people you knew here, so you figured you should just leave. but your friend was completely wasted, and it would be wrong for you to walk out like that.
you swirled your cup around before pushing yourself off the wall, walking through the crowded house. the lights were too bright and the music was too loud; you needed some fresh air. it was quiet outside, and the cool breeze was much better than the thick air inside. the wall felt cold on the back of your arms. you pulled out your phone to check the time. 1:40 am. sighing and leaning back against the wall, you slide your phone back into your pocket. you stood there in silence, the only sound being the soft chirps of crickets, until you heard the front door crack open. you turned your head to see who it was, expecting it to be someone too drunk to walk stumbling out to their car. but it wasn't.
you had only talked to him a couple of times since you two had a bunch of mutual friends. but from the times you had talked to him, he seemed cool. he was a musician, you knew that, but you didn't know much else about him.
a tight-lipped smile was shared between the two of you as you made eye contact. he stood next to you, but didn't say anything. you glanced over at him, taking him in. his hair glistened under the street light; the only source of light under the night sky.
"didn't know you were here," he said suddenly, breaking the silence.
"uh, yeah. i'm with my friend."
"yeah?" he turned to look at you.
"mhm," you hummed. "came out here for fresh air."
the silence was comfortable but heavy. like there was more to be said. but the two of you remained quiet.
"you, um, you look nice," he spoke up, no louder than a whisper.
you looked up at him, your eyes meeting his. and for a second you didn't see the effortlessly charming hollis you had seen all over social media. right now, he looked vulnerable, exposed, like a deer in headlights.
"thank you," you said softly, a small smile on your face. "you look nice too."
he returned your smile and gave you a quiet "thank you."
and then it was quiet again.
until some guy stuck his head outside, his voice slurred.
"yo hollis, come back in for a sec!," he yelled.
your eyes met hollis' once more, before he gave you a small nod and headed back inside. you sighed and pulled your phone back out. 1:47 am.
for the next hour, you wandered around the house, keeping a close eye on your friend. but you couldn't help but notice the feeling of someone else's eyes on you.
it was 2:30. you were sipping on a drink, and the party was (unfortunately) ongoing. you were about to convince your friend to go home when a man who looked to be about your age approached you.
"never seen you around," he mumbled. his eyes were red, and he held a cup filled with alcohol.
you were quiet for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"yeah, i don't really know that many people here."
"well now you know me." he gave you a lazy smile that you couldn't help but laugh at.
he kept the conversation going, but you couldn't shake the feeling from earlier off. you excused yourself for a moment, heading into the kitchen to refill your drink. and there was hollis.
"is he nice?," he asked before you could even set your cup down.
you scoffed at his question.
"who? that guy?," you said, looking back at the guy you were just talking to. "why do you care?"
"well.. he seems nice." you gave him a small shrug.
you raised your eyebrows at him, but he didn't even look at you. confused, you walked away with your cup. you continued to laugh with the man from earlier, trying your hardest to ignore the stare you felt on you. you were about to say something when you finally figured it out. it was him. you knew who it was from just a second of eye contact.
"excuse me," you told the man.
you squeezed through people, walking towards the set of eyes that had been on you the whole night. but before you could say anything, he spoke.
you looked at him with a puzzled expression on your face.
"i'm fine, but i don't know about you."
"i mean, come on, you've been watching me all night."
"you looked pretty out there. talking to him."
you just stood there, not knowing what to say. what the hell did he mean?
he then nodded towards the man, making you turn around. and there he was, making out with some girl. you felt your stomach drop a little, but ignored it. you rolled your eyes and turned to face hollis. swallowing hard, you spoke meekly.
hollis just laughed under his breath and shook his head. his eyes met yours, and you felt your heart skip a beat. the tension was palpable, heavier than the smoke that lingered in the air.
"what do you want anyways?," you huffed, crossing your arms.
he shrugged, his gaze still on you. his eyes traveled your face, darting from one feature to another.
"hollis, what are you talking abou-," you began, before getting cut off.
"you're too good for him anyways, you know that? he's beyond stupid for brushing you off like that."
"it's really not a big deal, hollis," you said, your voice a bit softer this time.
he tilted his head and narrowed his eyes as he continued to study you. and that was when it clicked. gosh, how could you be so stupid?
"you're jealous," you scoffed.
"i just don't think girls like you should be hanging around people like him," he shrugged. but you could see right through him. the exposed look in his eyes from earlier was back.
you laughed and shook your head, at a loss for words. your heart fluttered when he smiled at you.
"have i told you how good you look tonight?," he said, leaning in a bit closer.
"i believe so." you looked up at him, and you could've sworn you saw his eyes light up.
"well," he began. "you look really good."
and before you could process it, his lips were on yours. his hand came up to cup your face, the other hand resting on your waist. it was the kind of kiss that was soft, but left you needing more. you let yourself get lost in the feeling, letting it consume you.
he suddenly pulled back to speak.
maybe the party was worth it after all.
