Warning: Cringeworthy moment up ahead 😂♡

Just as I was about to look away, he looked in my direction and we made eye contact.

A smile lit up his face as he started to walk over.

"Hey, I didn't know you were coming for this party" He stated on getting to me.

"Neither did I, until recess today" I replied, still sipping my drink, with a smile on my face. For some reason, I was really excited to see him.

"Clover made me come here with her. Thomas invited her" I informed him.

"Really? Freeze and Clover?" He asked shocked.

"Yeah" I replied chuckling as I felt a sting in my head. Ow. Okay what was that?

"Wow, okay" he said "so where are they now?"

"Somewhere around, I don't know" I shrugged as I felt the sting again. What's happening?

"You could've texted me when you were left alone you know" he said "it's not safe for you to be all by yourself in here. All types of people come to Thomas' parties. Ranging from high school students to college guys to junkies"

"Oh wow, I didn't know that and even if I did, I wouldn't want to disturb you" I replied, starting to slur a little. Aw come  on, my drink wasn't even spiked.

"You could never -" he started to say but stopped "Are you okay?"

"Of course I am" I replied "my head just stings a little, oh and wait, you have two heads now? Woah, how'd you do that?"

"Shit, what are you drinking?" He asked, taking the cup from me.

"Oh just fruit punch from the fruit punch bowl, all the way over there" I said pointing over at the bowl.

"Shit" he cursed.

"What is it?" I asked pouting.

"It's spiked Dani" he said.

"That's not true, I tasted it to be sure it wasn't spiked before starting to drink it" I informed him.

"Thomas always spikes the punch at his parties but he uses a special type of vodka. It has no taste when mixed" he replied.

"Ohhhh, my bad. How would I have known?" I asked, hicupping.

"You would have, if you had just called me" he replied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I giggled.

"Is this your first time drinking?" He asked.

"No, but I don't drink" I said, still giggling.

"Come on, let's get you a bottle of water to drink" he said, putting my jacket over my shoulders then dragging me up from the couch and putting a hand on my back to steady me "Luckily, you haven't had too much of the punch, so a bottle of water should sober you up in a little while"

Sure, I hadn't had too much but I've had enough to lower my inhibitions, because now I wanted to dance. I never dance. At least not anywhere that wasn't my bathroom or my bedroom.

"No, I want to dance" I said trying to get to the dance floor.

"No, you're inebriated right now, you can dance later" he refused.

"I'm not abbreviated or whatever you said, I just want to dance" I whined.

"No Dani, we need to get you a bottle of water first" he said, a wide grin slipping onto his face. What was so funny?

I continued to whine until he finally gave in and I ran to the dance floor.

"Wheee" I yelled, as I burst some of my best dance moves in accordance to the up beat song the DJ was playing.

I didn't care about all the stares I was getting from the people around me as long as I was dancing. I looked towards Blake to see that he had brought out his phone and was now recording.

Feeling like a star, I went closer to the camera, put my face in and went back again. All this time Blake was laughing and I still didn't know what was funny.

The song changed to a slow one and I went over to drag Blake to dance with me.

"No, no, dancing is not my forte, Dani" he refused, putting away his phone.

"Please, pretty please and I promise I'll go to the kitchen with you and be inberibated after that" I pleaded, pouting.

"Fine, but after this we go to the kitchen" he said, chuckling again "Deal?"

"Deal!" I yelled and dragged him to the dance floor and we started to move in rhythm to the slow song. My hands around his neck and his on my waist.

"You look really nice tonight" he said into my ear, some minutes into the dance, causing an eruption of butterflies in my stomach.

"Thank you" I replied, blood rushing to my cheeks "You look nice too"

"Thanks" he chuckled and we were silent for the rest of the slow dance which wasn't long because an up beat song was back and I was ready to burst some moves again but Blake dragged me by the hand and took me straight to the kitchen, but not before I stuck my tongue out at him. That serves him right!

He only shook his head and dragged me into the kitchen. He got me a bottle of water but I refused to drink it.

"No, water is bitter" I said, pointing in the direction of the party room "I want the fruit punch"

"No punch for you, now just be a good girl and drink some water" he tried again.

"No!" I said pouting and crossing my arms across my chest.

Sighing, he moved closer to me until he was just inches away. He opened the water bottle, held my chin and before I knew it, he was forcing the water down my throat. I struggled a little at first but stopped seconds later as I stared into his ocean blue eyes. Were they always so pretty? Now that he was this close to me, I noticed how long his eyelashes were and how his thick eyebrows were neatly and naturally carved.

"There, that should get you sober soon" he said removing the bottle from my mouth and returned it's cap.

"Were your eyes always this pretty?" I asked, looking into them like a kid who had just gotten a new toy.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Your eyes, they're so pretty" I said.

"Uh, I guess" he replied, his cheeks a light shade of red.

"Awwwn, Blaky is blushing" I said pinching his cheeks and cooing like he was a little child "Little Blaky is so cute when he blushes"

"Okayy, this could take a while" he said removing my hands from his cheek and dragging me out of the kitchen and into an empty bedroom. Thomas' house had so many rooms, you could get lost. It was just like Blake's house.

He pulled me into the room and shut the door behind him.

"Okay, now sit" he said, pointing at the bed.

"No!" I said pouting again.

"You're such a stubborn drunk, you know that?" He said groaning.

"What? I'm not drunk" I said.

"Yes, you are" he said as he dragged me to the bed and we both sat down.

"I'm just happy, happy to be here with my friends" I said "Don't you want me to be happy?"

"Of course I want you to be happy" he replied, confused.

"I know you're not like them Blaky, you want me to be happy right? They don't want me to be happy. They don't want my family to be happy. That stupid, stupid, stupid, king pin and his stupid, stupid, stupid thugs" I said as tears started to fall from my eyes and roll down my cheeks.

"What thugs? What are you talking about? Please stop crying" a more confused Blake said softly as he held my face in his hands and wiped my tears with his thumbs as they fell even more.

"I'm not crying" I said sniffing "I'm happy, I'm the happiest I've been in a while and now.....now, they want to take that away from me. I don't like them, they're very, very bad"

"Shhh, it's okay Dani, stop crying, I won't let anyone take away your happiness" he said pulling me in for a hug. He rest his chin on my head and rubbed my arm to soothe me.

I'd never felt so peaceful with anyone who wasn't family like I did now, so I let the tears flow.

"It's okay Dani, calm down, stop crying"

Those were the last words I heard before I was out like a light.

Apparently Blake's words, just like food, also solves everything.
