Chapter Two

And finally I got to finish my exams. I was still waiting for the results though.

That meant the end of high school for me. I was so ecstatic. And that was good news. I didn't have to face those mean people anymor.

I saw my phone ring on my dresser, Cheryl was calling.

"Hey Cher, how are you doing?"

"I'm cool. But first I've got an invitation for you. There's a party going on at Jake's place tomorrow. I'll be there and I want you to come along". Oh no. I don't think she knew who she was talking to?

"Err.. Cheryl," I called out, "I guess you called the wrong number. You see, this is your best friend you're talking to".

"Silly," she let out a small laugh. "I know for sure that I'm on to the right person, my best friend".

"Cheryl, you know I've never been to a party before. How do I even leave the house? Just carry on without me. Have fun and enjoy yourself."

"Haha, funny. I'm not going without you. You could tell your dad you're staying at my place. And exams are over no need to still bury yourself in books. You're such a boring person." She said trying to convince me.

"You still love me that way." I replied sticking out my tongue like she knew what I was doing.

"OK. Fine. Let's make it work. But if anything goes wrong with me at the party, you're as good as dead". I said in response, finally agreeing to her persuasion.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~

Getting dressed up for the party. I put on an off shoulder top and a blue jean mini skirt. I put my hair in a ponytail. Then Cheryl helped me with the makeup.

Cheryl wore a high waist jean and a pink crop top. She let her hair fall on her shoulders.

After getting dressed, we decided to use Cheryl's car not that I had one. I got into the car still a bit tensed.

"Cheryl, are you sure everything is going to go well? This is my first time attending a party."

I said placing a hand on my chest.

"Take a chill pill, girl. Everything's going to be fine. Just act normal." She said smiling without taking her eyes off the road.

"Just promise not to ditch me at the party tonight. Please!!!" I pleaded in a croaked voice.

"Ughh... Fine. Just don't spoil my fun." She rolled her eyes.

"Thanks, you're the best."

"I've always been." She chuckled.

When we arrived, the party had already started. There were so many wasted teenagers. Some where making out at different corners of the house. Others were on the dance floor. The place was so loud and I could barely hear myself.

I gripped Cheryl's hand as though my life depended on it as we walked towards the bar and all of a sudden, I lost her. I groaned and mentally hit myself. Now I was all alone at this party.

I didn't know where she entered and I also didn't know how to start searching for her. Why the hell did she leave me all to myself? That meant I'd be alone for a couple of hours.

I walked down to find a seat, a comfortable one. When I was settled, I brought out my phone from my purse and used it to keep myself busy.

Just then someone tapped my shoulders and I turned with full force. When I turn around it was Jake Parker. My crush.

"Easy there. You might break your neck." He said and I blushed.

He was dressed in a faded jean and a V-neck shirt with a leather jacket on his shoulder.

He looked so handsome, almost like a god. His hands were tucked in his pocket and his eyes held a certain shine in them. He looked as though he was posing for a photoshoot. He smiled sweetly at me and I felt my heart do a somersault.

I didn't even realize I was staring until he cleared his throat. "I guess we've met before, right?"

I quickly nodded. "The name's Nicole."

"Yeah. I remember now. Are you looking for anyone?" he asked staring intensely at me.

"Uhm.. Yes my best friend. She ditched me." I answered without taking my eyes off him.

"Don't worry I'm here to keep you company". His words shocked me. That was the last thing I expected to hear from him.

"No", I refused the offer even though I wanted it. "I'll do just fine."

"No. I can't just let a pretty girl like you stay here all alone. Don't feel left out." He insisted and pulled me to the balcony.

He then put his hand on the small of my waist, pulling me into him. I closed my eyes and tried catching my breath. This boy will be the death of me.

When I opened my eyes I just saw him staring at me with a smile on his face.

"Nicole? Are you shy?" he asked me.

I couldn't even find my voice and then I just shook my head to avoid embarrassing myself.

"If you're shy don't be. Feel free with me. I don't bite. Or maybe I do." he chuckled.

"No... I... I'm not shy. Why... why should I be." I mentally scolded myself for speaking.

And then for a few minutes he talked about himself and even slipped the University he applied for. Guess what? It's Boston University too.

I said a few things about myself. Not like I had an interesting life though.

"Close your eyes", he said and moved closer to me, closing the gap between us, "I want to show you something." and I looked at him and swallowed before closing my eyes.

I felt him move close to me and my breath hitched. He then sent trails of kisses on my neck and I let out a soft moan.

When I opened my eyes I felt my face turn red. My heart for once felt like it was going to jump out my throat.

He then cupped my face in his hands and lowered his head, bringing his lips very close to mine as though he wanted to kiss me.

Using one hand to bring my head closer to him and the other fell to my waist, pulling me into him.

He sucked gently on my lower lip then roughly. I opened my mouth and let him in. He kissed me with so much passion and before I know it, I began to kiss him back. Our lips moved in a perfect rhythm.

This was my first kiss. And it's with my crush. This felt like pure bliss then he pushed my top up a little and caressed my belly. That was it, he was going too far and before I realized he had cupped my breast. I stopped him and pushed him away even though I wanted it so much. I just wasn't ready.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I... I... You... " I couldn't even make a sentence in this state of mind. I just shook my head.

"You want me to stop?" He asked with a pleasure stricken face.

I tried to reply but my voice was too low for anyone to hear. What exactly did I want? Him or the door? I wasn't sure.

Jake moved close to me and touched the nape of my neck. I recoiled and shrunk back. I guess he noticed because he pulled me into his arms.

At this moment I could barely breathe. He said a few words in my ear and kissed my earlobe seductively. I couldn't stop myself anymore. I ran my hands up and down his chest and that was his cue to kiss me.

He kissed me very slowly this time, no rush. He kissed my earlobe again and bit my it. I moaned and pulled him closer to me till I could feel the bulge in his jeans.

His lips sent kisses to my neck. He sucked the skin on my neck so softly making me press myself to him wanting more.

Then he stopped what he was doing to look at me. His eyes held so much that I couldn't even decipher what it meant.

"Come to my room?" that sounded more like a command than a question. He panted out of pleasure. Was this what it felt like to have someone all over you? I nodded my head and he led me to his room.

We finally made our way past the people around to his room and we even got a few stares.

Firstly, he bent down to remove my strappy high-heeled sandals. Then he faced me again. Kissing me more passionately this time. I loved the fact that he was giving me so much attention.

He moved his lips to my neck again and down to my slightly exposed cleavage. He then looked at me like he was trying to ask for permission and I just nodded.

He held me close to him and unzipped my top. Trailing kisses to my breast, he pressed his face between my breast and I ran my fingers in his hair as I moaned softly.

Then he lifted his head and I felt his tongue tease the tip of my hardened nipple, drawing it between his teeth until the sweet ache in the pit of my belly grew so intense and I found it difficult to breath. I kept letting out soft moan with each new wave of pleasure.

He moved closer to me and I felt his erection against my thighs. So hard.

He roughly rid me of my skirt and my hands found its way to his shirt ripping it off. And he unbuttoned the waistband of his trousers letting it fall to the floor with a soft thud.

He lifted me and put me on the bed. Then we joined our bodies as one and made love till we were out of breath.

By the time we were done, we collapsed beside each other.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a virgin?" Jake asked after a moment of silence.

"I thought you would reject me when you knew." I replied and Jake was silent for a while.

"Was I too hard on you?" He asked and I shook my head in reply.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No, I'm just a bit sore." He nodded and looked away when I replied.

We were silent for a long time and when I turned, Jake was already asleep. With that I dressed up even though I still felt sore.

I tapped him and he woke up, "Jake, I'm going back to the party." He nodded in reply.
