-CHAPTER 9-

Ella was busy and made herself occupied, yet she couldn't forget about that cock. 

His explicitly... goodenes. 

And as seniors, Ella and her roommates were pretty occupied for their school org's tree planting until its designated event date. After a blood sweat and tears all for its completion, the graduating students were worn out as soon as the set their shoes to the campus. 

The sun challenged their skin and lungs by thirsting. Stomachs are famished and demands something to chew. It was a heck of a work and duty as members of the organization. 

Saving Mother Earth was never a crime. 

But for the girls, it was an unlocked path of relief and self reward. Kath's been thinking about the upcoming big house party, also Lynn couldn't wait to finally meet Ella's boyfriend. 

 "And finally at last, we are done with this big org agenda, now we gotta focus to the upcoming house party." Kath informed her girl in a sing-song manner as she helped them transfer the materials from their transport service. 

Lynn smiled. "And, meeting your boyfriend this week is also a plus, we can finally see your taste in men hmm?" She bubbly suggested to the occupied Ella by her thoughts. 

That made her blinked a few times from her short  reverie. "Ah yes, I'll make sure of that, like you know, at least you can met him before the big ass party." She awkwardly gave it a chuckle, and encourage the two to help her with the remaining gardening trowels. 

The seniors are in charge of cleaning their materials and organizing everything back to its place. The girls stayed for few more hours. 

"But I am curious to death." Kath initiated the topic. "How did it go with that hook up with barista situation? What exactly that Megan told you?" She was facing Ella and that was an obvious query. 

A spicy question. She wasn't prepared to answer that. Ella channeled her answer after she changed her shirt soaking from sweat. "I ended up not being interested for some reason, but Megan... suggested me to actually date a guy." 

Two of them were puzzled while holding their spare clothes. 

"Bluntly said, sex is good with chemistry. Period." Ella confidently lied and added to her many layers of made-up shit.

The intrigued Lynn didn't expect for Megan to suggest that. "Ella, you can't have sex with a man you just met." Copying Elsa's voice from Frozen, she mocked her friend for her silly idea.

Well, Ella isn't sure about 'creative events'. "It's our actual first date, in a party. Juts calm your tits, I'm sure he isn't that. I know him very well for that." Closing her eyelids while nodding, Ella can already feel her anguish in those lies. 

Silently praying that Theo's patience is a mile long for her made up stories she created today. "Sounds like suicide mission, good luck with that." Kath genuinely hit Ella's arm, causing a displeased and comical reaction. 

They were told to study in advance for a quick class observation by the Dean of College. Their dining area were pretty much occupied as they study hard with the help of pomodoro timers. 

Ella was down to the two remaining subjects to review, the number of tabs in her laptop are increasing as well as the sticky notes to be attached in her vision board. It's been a juicy three hours of reviewing and skimming with a little bit social media. 

Kath closed her Finance textbook due to her distracted thoughts. "I can't do this shit properly, I'm too hyped for the upcoming party this-

"Kathryn Adler, get your shit together wil you, besides we a few subjects left to take care of. It's just a party no biggie." Lynn sliced her sentence, she was busy typing the remaining pages of meeting minutes. 

Relaxed and unbothered, Ella didn't join the conversation. But she isn't safe for Kath's questions. "Especially Ella's suitor, I am so famished I need more description about him."

Lynn fixed her glasses on her nose bridge and nods. "Good query though, spill tea is your thing, sister." She seconded and starts to boost her eagerness as well. 

Ella channeled her thoughts about Theo, recalling how good he looks in simple barista clothing. Her chest doesn't rushed compared to what she expected. "Hmm." She smiled as she paused. 

"He loves going to gym so it's a given for his figure." Their faces shows indisticntive shock as their reaction. "I won't give you guys a hint, but his hair was dyed. Profound nose and jaw, he looks normal all things considered." Ella admit that she gave up describing, it has too much details. 

But for sure she find him handsome. My deepest apologies for you Theo, I am currently exposing you bit by bit. Screw me for being secretive.   

Ella truly acknowledged how her friends trust her in losing virginity the other week. But turns out, Ella decided to flip the story by appearing uninterested to deal with 'the barista' for sex. Lies were her quickest remedy. 

Lynn and Kath once again builded up their anticipation, imagining who could it be. What does he look like? Even predicting his penis size, sex performance and preferences.

This mystery man is making itself such a big deal that they can't wait. And at least for them, it would be fun a triple party date, the more the merrier. 

Theodore already told her to taker her time as he do the same. But she couldn't help thinking it through. 

He was completely mute for days. 

+++

Her aching shoulder and lower hip was bothering her for quite some time but fortunately it continuously heals. Ella to decided to massage herself again with her Mom's ointemnt. Even the scent reminds me of her.    

She just missed her so baldy. If only she could escape academic responsibilities for a while, she'd be home. 

Ella is born ready to see her mom on their Commencement Excercises. And that ignited her might to strive hard to extend her arms for her dreams. She's in desperate need of repaying her mom's sacrifices.  

Ella has no idea for the exact pressure points to massage as long as she felt good with it. That definitely ease the pain from her body, even the stress.

And yet she couldn't forget on person. Theo. 

Her eyes  immediately wide awake from her sensational reverie. Ella knew that she have to keep in touch with him, Theo's silence bothered the shit out of her. 

When she said 'fuck social etiquette', she really mean it and dialed Theo. Who the fuck cares if it is bed time already? She sat comfortably and wait for Theo to pick. 

Pick up dickhead. What's taking you so long?   

Theo's legs were comfortable enough to make hims doze off. However, his phones sudden prolonged vibration bothered him to hell. His brows narrowed when he sa Ella's name, which he picked up. 

Before he could take a breath to say a word, the other line interrupted her. "So are you going to show yourself this week? What the hell Theo." 

Theo admitted his short comings. "Chill woman, take it easy." A smile appeared on his lips. "Don't worry, I'm going to meet your friends just like you mentioned the other day." 

The sarcastic expression was evident on her face. "Well thank you for remembering details. Can you just please return your shit here already? I'm pretty anxious that you might let me down."

"Oh chill honey bee. Trust me, will you?" 

Ella have to take a pause and check his caller's name on her screen. "What the hell with the endearment?" 

Theo get up from his bed and smiled, he's already hooked. "Might as well call you that. Aren't you my girlfriend? Mhm?" It wasn't worth laughing for Ella, she was about to say a word but he cut her off. "I'm pretty sure you you enjoyed my package the other day? Should I send you some more to let you sleep?" 

Her nose fumed as she was insulted shamelessly. "Your dick isn't worth staring-

"Lets say, I'm well endowed down there. I have pride on that." 

She draw her tongue on her lower lip. "I despise that idea sir, you can't just send your dick to someone." Talking about her dick make her legs trembled as if it was the cold breeze from the window. 

And then suddenly, Ella couldn't sit properly. 

Theo's lips pursed and forced his smile to appear. "I guess your body right now is saying otherwise. Let's not be liars here Ella, we can freely boost our sexual needs. Besides we agreed upon this, isn't it better to spice things up beforehand? Mhm?" 

There was no way to express how she felt ensnared with his question, Theo surpassed her boldness. Her breathing staggered as she took a pause. "Yeah, sounds cool." 

"I suggest you should embrace your carnal needs more, it doens't cost any. You'll need more of that, honey bee." 

She's pretty sure that he's having fun. Her cheeks flushed and hardly composing the jigsaw pieces of her self. "It doesn't have to be this serious." Her fac flatten. 

"Oh c'mon honey bee. You're no fun, anyways it's getting late. Imma doze off." His lips arched as he gazed the plain cream wall, fully aware of his charm. 

That made her scratch her nape for being frustrated. "Are you gonna be there?" 

Theo laid down to bed pretending that he's seeing stars. "Of course, I'll be there. Good night, Ella." A simple chuckle was released from his mouth.

"Goodnight, Theo." She said in a lone tone, even though the line is already dead.

+++

These are the rare times that they can actually forget about studying. They've been dying to try some clothes for the party, it's thursday night.

The girls gathered in their neatly cleaned living room with their entry clothes to fit. They purposefully tidied up their living room just to pile their clothes together, girls will be girls. 

"I really did expect for him to come last night as he promised. I'm dying to see his face Ella." Kath dramatically explained while holding her sequin top that looks exxagerating for the upcoming event. 

Lynn thought the same, she agreed. "He actually apologized last night, don't worry. He'll make sure that he will be around straight to the party itself, I did sent him the deets." Ella replied as she scrolled through her messaging. 

Theo wasn't responding for the last few hours. What could go wrong? 

Ella sighed, hopefully her friends understand her as well. Lynn grabbed two pieces of top clothing and compared it through the vintage mirror. "Of course we're still looking forward, you already told us that he went on a family event. It must a biggie."  

"Guess he's family oriented, what'd you think?" Kath hit her Lynn's arms with an intrigued manner that made them crack a laughter. "Well you can say that." Ella responded and confirmed. 

They continued fitting until Kath found the perfect look and glam for tommorow's event. They've been laughing for how terrible Lynn looks with sequin pants. 

Ella looked at her from head to toe, disgusted. "And who the hell would wear shit like that?" It just doesn't look right for Kath that she squealed in laughter and throw her friend a pillow. 

"That is not 'it', get changed Lynn. Goodness my eyes!" Kath was disappointed as well. Lynn rolled her eyes and proceed to her options. "And sure gotta some skirt because girl, yo boy needs good access." Kath humored the confused Ella 

She just raised her middle finger while staring at the mountain of clothes. She's been eyeing this clothing combination that she got from pinterest, because might as well utilize the internet. 

I hope this isn't too silly to wear. I'm born pretty after all. She boasted, smirking. 

"Not this shirt, pencil is nah, straps are not-ish and this pants looks stupid." She seriously tossing her clothes behind one-by-one as she looks through. Kath was actually impressed, it was once in a blue moon to see her get serious with clothing. 

Ever since highschool, she was admired for her simplicity. 

They even finished an entire album of Taylor Swift but still have no clothes to wear for Lynn and Ella. Girl just wanna have fun. 

"This blouse look great with these high-waisted shorts, what'd you think?" Lynn asked everyone while showing it to them. Lynn just wanna make simple for an easier fit especially went drunk. 

Well everyone planned to be wasted. Including Ella who has special plans. 

"That looks like partying on the beach on Florida, not to mention you like your hair in bun. Maybe try another top, shorts looks good though." Ella suggested from afar despite of being focused on picking accessories. 

Kath dangling hoop earrings was melodramatic. "The bitch was right, maybe try another top and you'll be good for sure." She commented and their laughter obviously cracked the silence. 

The girls didn't even noticed until Ella showed up to the front, trying some clothes on.

"Hmm. Ten over ten for the skirt and I gave it a nine for the top. Good enough." Kath was impressed of comfortable this looks for a house party. A wine cropped sweater that's not to long for the sleeves and a dark-toned purple tennis skirt. 

Their astonishment was wordless, it was reasonably comfortable for her. Lynn complimented her look. It took them another hour for them to be satisfied for their wardrobe. 

Ella has never been excited for a party like this, and she keep checking up on Theo. 

No text, nor calls. 

The next day went smoothly on their campus, everyone was excited for the party when they dismissed the class. Kath giggled she got a text from that engineering guys whatever the hell he is, Ella couldn't care more because still no sign of Theo. 

Is this betrayal already?

Her mind runs deep as she devoured the club-house sandwich that she ordered, well it was Lynn who treated them in a fast food. The girls left no choice but to take a quick dinner, spending the rest of the afternoon glamming. 

It hits different when streets are soaked in rain as its aftermath, the breeze was cold but it doesn't stop them from partying. The night is still young. 

Bloated yet defeated, they step out of the fast food chain while holding their acidic drinks. Meet never felt so good without Coke. 

Their shoes streamed the soaked sidewalks to freshen up themselves since the party is twenty minutes away, they have enough time to stroll around the nearest park. 

Well at least they have some time to take pictures under the warm lights of the lamposts. Ella was too occupied checking her phone. 

Hey, still going?  She texted. 

Truth is, they expected for him to come over for their quick dinner. Lynn and Kath expected for his presence, again. But they comforted their girl instead. They are still holding on for his appearance at the party. 

She slid her phone in her pocket. What a complete asshole. She forced a smile and pose for pictures, they make use of Kath's polaroid. 

So many captured moments was also taken by their phones, they had fun running around the lonely park. It was calming to see such empty park after rain, they feel like they owned this place for a while. 

The solace breaks when Lynn and Kath both received text messages, fluttering. "He said to come over, they were having a blast for the past hour. OMG, lets get in to the car." Kath bolted with her beaming energy. 

Even though she's upset about her friend being ditched on a date. 

The travel time didn't actually matter for the girls. They've been enjoying themselves with the music from the car. Kath maneuvered the vehicle to park and three of them felt welcomed when they stepped out. 

Everyone cheered when the beat of the music drop, there are dj's who are operating the sound system, including the pool area where people are showing off their skin and having their poisons. 

She can't even recognize when they said it was a Mansion, it was packed with saturated lights and muffled blasting music. 

This place... is wild.  

Kath guided them to the bartender to freshen up their stomach, everything looks so expensive as it is very professional to watch. Ella forget what does a party looks like, the colorful lights leaking on the island counter, high-priced drinks, loud bass of music and paired with white people. That made her realize, she having too much of college. 

Guess it ain't wrong to be messed out for tonight. Besides, he won't be coming over. Theo is definitely a scumbag.  

"People are fucking loud and I coulnd't find my date." Kath was loud enough to be heard since the music was blasting as well. Kath was looking for Trevor. 

Both of them were left sitting at the bar counter because Lynn were dragged out to hang out with the kids from another department. Kath insisted on staying, she feel bad leaving her. That leads to her pretending that Trevor wasn't around. 

Ella couldn't drink yet because she was waiting, and with the fact that she doesn't want to be a burden for her friend. "Haven't you seen Trevor? I saw nearby the pool, you can go. Theo texted me already that he's on his way." She spat a lie and both of them gazed with uncertainty. 

Kath fixed her hair and blinked few times. "Well, what about you-

"I'll be fine, I'll just see you around." 

"Are you sure?" Kath seriously stand in front of her while patting her shoulderblades, making her strange. "Are you born ready to be messed up?" She asked. 

Ella removed her hands and chuckled. "I'll be fine really, it's not like were gonna fuck here in front of  this bartender." She purposefully made her self audible to the nearest barttender, he was terrified for such a humour. 

Even Kath's chuckle was too loud. "Shut up, but seriously have fun. Knock yourself out and be waisted, if that guy is bothering the fuck out of you, kick his balls and drain his testosterone." It was a useful reminder from a dear friend.

Well, Ella knows if a friend is rooting for her.

The ten minutes turns to thirty, and eventually progressed to an hour of waiting. She's a bit of a bad girl earlier that glass moved on and ordered mojito. Better make the best out of the 'free drinks'. 

The girl with a cropped shirt and tennis skirt was finally alone for about an hour. It was a good thing that she can walk while drinking, no tipsiness was identified from her system. She stepped out and headed to the pool where people are splashing liquids. 

Greg, the party's headmaster was also present, topless and hanging out with two girlls, prolly call for a threesome. 

"Nice place." Ella whispered as she was amazed with the area that she could stay here forever. Her floating feet playfully step to the stepping slabs near the hedges, it eventually follows the rhythm of the music. 

Oddly, she's having fun on her own. 

"You seem to be alone, miss?"

Ella smiled despite of being dazed and looked at the man in front of him. "You don't look like him." Her face frowned, followed by taking a shot from her glass that simmered down to her throat. "And yes I'm alone, why the fuck are you asking?" She ask loudly. 

The man didn't expect for this aggressiveness, he thought she wasn't that tipsy. "My name's Flynn from from the Med Department." 

Ella's painted nails scratched a portion of her scalp. "Yeah I didn't asked for your name. So, got nothing to fuck huh?" The mouth was getting blunt and brutal but who's complaining? Obviously not her. 

 "I've been watching you from afar, and your honestly pretty." Flynn shyly confessed, she's been striking his interest for the  past few hours so might as well ask her out. "And do I look like someone?" 

"Your hair isn't dyed, your not flirty, and definitely not toned like him." Ella answered as she shamelessly pat her abdomen from her Uniqlo shirt paired with a denim jacket, still looks yummy, "And please mind your business and leave me alone. 

"You seem to be interesting though."Flynn smiled innocently while crossing her arms. 

"You seem to be annoying though." Ella was taunting the stranger and did the same pose that he does. Both of them smirked as if they actually shared the same element of humor. 

Flynn continued smiling and leaned closer to her ear for him to be more audible. "I like you wit, how about dancing with me." The man was quite nervous and still managed to smile, one of his charms. 

Ella pouted her lips forward and think throughly as if she was thinking straight for the past hour. Her fingers streamed her scalp and gave up. She concluded that Theo wasn't coming around. 

Her beaming smile is still pretty for Flynn. Ella offered her arm for him to cling. "Not sure this is gonna work but, I'll gave it yes." It was smooth for them too and Flynn was delighted, his throat gained another shot vodka. 

He asked for her permission before touching her shoulder, they gave it a shot on the dance floor afterwards. 

The lights beamed at her unbothered eye, Ella was glad for his company. Making friends was that easy. She was glad that someone could accompany her lonely night. 

Spotlights are doing their job so well that they match the mood every song, there were also a bunch of reflective materials as decorations. That made them hazy. 

Flynn was amazed of how active her expressions are, it was accurately matched with the music. Their weightless leaps blended with the crowd while raising their plastic cups filled with beer, vodka and whatever poison they are into. 

Dua Lipa's 'If It Ain't Me' hit the chorus and everyone dance in free style, especially Ella who feels weightless and silly. Her hips swayed carefully enough to not spill her drink. 

Flynn also danced free style and spirited out for the last party before internship. University work was damn hard and it will be worse for the next few years. Like his blockmates, he will make sure to enjoy and knock himself out. 

Damn she's a good dancer. He thought as he had fun staring at her. Flynn find himself lucky, he's pretty sure to hit on her for the next following weeks. His type, obviously. 

His eyes widened when someone grabbed hs jacket from behind, making him dissappear in front of Ella. He was quick enough to see who was it after they leaved the dance floor, the guy was pissed and upset. 

"Fuck!"He cursed ater he received a punch from the man. Flynn was trained in boxing, but he doesn't like being punched for no good reason. This guy in red hair has a pretty fist for fuck sake!  

Still weightless, Ela smiled in carefree. As if she was doing a pony tail she tugged her hair around and jumped harder, regardless if Flynn is still around or what. 

Every subtle leap and sway, she's slowly forgetting her problems away. Like smoked diffused in mid-air. She joined the squealing and cheering for whoever it is in front of her. She became, one of the many drunken-dazed, eager to be happy and soar higher than the alcohol can bring to them. 

This feels good. I'm definitely alive.  

Her dance frenzy is on top of her skull and she's about to dance her mind-made choreography. Until some calloused hand entrap her naked hips since she's wearing a crop.

That made her froze but she continued to dance since the hands also followed her movements, she didn't care more because she know's she's kinda safe with Flynn. 

Ella is aware of the surrounding but she just want to dance the fuck out of it, the hands on her waist followed her movement. She even moved her hair to the side for her neck to be accessible. 

A kiss planted on her neck. That made her smile and close her eyes, that felt good. 

Her goosebumps intensified when a bot breath streaming her neck from behind. "Nice mouth, Flynn." Her tipsiness responded with a slight moan. 

Flynn ain't bad after all.  Her weightless head thought. 

"Who's Flynn?" 

Ella was awoken as if it was from a deep slumber. She looked her side but the he fixed her hips that made her head hesitate. 

That familiar voice spoke. "He must be the one that I punched, too bad he's not here. How is it going honey bee?" Theo smiled while dancing with her hips, body to body. 

Honey bee.  

She didn't see that coming, and her smile grew even more like a total idiot, without any good reason. Ella should be upset and pissed, however, her hips says otherwise. 

Theo went closer to her body while swaying bot of their hips. "Ain't upset? You like this do you? Hips don't lie." He chuckled and brushed his newly shaved chin to the surface of her neck. It's been a while since he nibbled a women.

"My apologies, honey bee. Pretty late." Theo explained. "Glad I found you having fun. Should we extend this fun somewhere?" 

But her mind was awfully distracted by his crotch grinding on her ass. It felt good and new. Theo purposefully grind his boner gently as they dance, her cropped top stirred him up. 

Ella will gave this a shot, she's seeing red. Her girlhood automatically trembled with Theo's touch. She turned around and cling her arms on his broad shoulders. 

A handsome face greeted hers. Theo managed to fix her hips and create distance for his boner to calm down. Both of them saw it denting from his demin pants. 

Ella's smiled shamelessly cupped his package, his grunt was satisfying enough as a response. This bold action of hers will definitely something for Theo.  

"Of course, we should extend the fun somewhere," she answered. Ella wasn't thinking on what she'll do next, everything was fun, happy drunk and horny to her vision. 

It didn't took her a second when her hands pulled her nape and kissed him. Theo immediately respond in French. 

Well that was fast.
