"Oh my God. It was nothing !" you exclaimed over the music.

"Right so you were just in there for shits and giggles," Bryson teased, slurring his words due to how much he had to drink in your absence.

Ever since JuJu came to get you from C's room, the girls, him, and Bryson have been trying to interrogate you about what happened. But you couldn't even focus on that since you were looking around the party to see if you can see him anywhere. And surprise surprise, you couldn't.

"Okay leave her alone !" Mikasa laughed, shooing your two belligerently drunk friends.

They sucked their teeth and did as she said. "Whatever. Ou ! (y/n)-" JuJu turned to grab the bottle of Hennessy that was on the counter next to where you all were talking. "Wanna drive the boat ?"

You were still pretty high from the events that took place in C's room but you figured you mind as well go big or go home. With a smile creeping on your face, you nodded. JuJu squealed and skipped up to you. You tilted your head back and awaited for the brown liquid to be poured in. When it did, you saw a few camera flashes and heard cheers from your friends, encouraging you to keep going. So that's exactly what you did.

JuJu stopped when he noticed you went on for too long but it was too late. Now, you were officially on ten. Not a sloppy drunk but drunk enough to want to dance to any song. Speaking of dancing, "Bring It Back" aka your party anthem was blasting.

JuJu and Bryson grabbed your hands and led you to where everyone was dancing, front and center. Feeling the liquor hitting your system, you had no problem bending over and throwing it back on JuJu who returned the favor on Mikasa. She was taken aback but went along with it, since she was a little drunk as well. As you were dancing, you didn't notice Bryson went off and found a girl to dance with. Her hair was in a top knot bun and she had piercings all over her ears.

What you also didn't notice, was a pair of eyes staring at you from the other side of the room. Of course, it was C and he was completely ignoring a girl who was trying to talk to him over the music. You laughed at his clear disinterest, even keeping eye contact as you continued to dance.

As the song continued, you felt your knees and waist get a little tired. Your body was also begging for water too. "I'll be right back," you tell JuJu over the music.

"You want me to come with you ?"

You shake your head 'no' and start walking back to the kitchen, where you started your night. On the counter, were water bottles lined up. You grabbed one, cracking it open and holding it up to your lips. "Tired already ?"

You turned around to face where the voice was coming from. Of course, it was C. "A little," you said holding up your fingers in a pinched positioned. You were clearly drunk, not that it wasn't obvious before.

Leaning against the counter, you took sips of the water hopping it would help sober you up but it was no use. "How much did you have ?" C asked.

"A lot," you answered bluntly.

"And JuJu and Bryson-"

"Long gone."

He sighed. "You guys are not driving home tonight."

You laughed, getting closer to him. "Why ? Want me to spend the night ?" you teased

Scoffing, "When you're sober." After his answer, there was a silence in the kitchen. But not an uncomfortable one. "Go ahead and drink up. Your headache is gonna suck tomorrow."

"Boy you're not my dad."

He shrugged. "Fine do you." He crossed one leg over another and looked off at everyone dancing. You ended up doing the same thing, and as the song began to change, you got an idea.

"Wanna dance ?"

"To this ? Seems a little fast, no ?" he looked at you.

"I mean if you can't keep up-"

"Yo ! Cops outside !" you heard one of his friends call from outside the house.

"Shit. Go wait in my room. Grab everyone else," he whispers to you in the midst of all the teenage panic. "Y'all know the drill. Everybody out !"

You started to walk back to where his room was, finding the rest of your friends on the way. You all crowded into the room and took your seats in the different parts. "So out of curiosity. Answer this how you want. But how long are we gonna be in here ?" Ymir asked the blonde boy sitting next to you.

"Usually it's a few minutes."

You sighed and leaned your head against Sasha, who was sitting on the other side of you. Your eyes closed but they didn't open back up for some time. However, when they did, your eyes were greeted by the sight of the floor. It didn't take you long to realize you were slung over somebody's shoulders. "The fu-"

"You're awake ?" the person, you recognized to be Bryson asked you. "You're gonna ride with C. Me, JuJu, and Jean are taking his car."

"Where are we going ?"

"Home, girl. But none of us are sober enough to drive."

"Hm," was all you responded with.

Bryson allowed you to get down before going off to help JuJu get in the car. It's not that he wasn't able to but he didn't want to. Jean was trying desperately get him into the car. "JuJu please just-"

"NO !"

"JuJu you got until the count of three. And if I have to get you in that car, you going in the trunk !" Bryson shouted from across the street.

You laughed before stumbling into the passenger side of C's car. You started to put your seatbelt on but had a hard time since everything looked like it had multiplied. At first, you let go of the seatbelt, ultimately admitting your silent defeat and gave up. However, C wasn't having it, since he had no problem reaching over you and putting it on for you. "You really can't handle your liquor," he laughed.

You sucked your teeth while simultaneously flipping him off.  He did nothing but laugh and turn on some music. "Lovin' You" by Minnie Riperton started to play. The song was a classic. You remember how your maternal grandmother would sing this song to make you fall asleep when you were younger. Every night she did this, as a matter of fact. It was to the point where you memorized it word for word.

You began to sing along to the lyrics. And by sing along I mean trying your best to keep up with the song whilst slurring your words. But hey, it was enough to grab C's attention. He found it amusing, not so much in a funny way, even though it was pretty hilarious. It was in the way where he liked experiencing your true self.

The both of you soon hit a red light. While singing, you peaked over at him, meeting his gaze. The red light shined all over his face, making his low eyes from the weed just as attractive. "Why're you looking at me like that ? Please don't tell me you're gonna throw up."

You snapped out of your daze. "I'm not. And I was looking past you." Liar liar pants on fire.

"Past me ?" he reiterated. You nodded so he turned his head to look out of the window next to him. "What had your attention for that long ?"

"Don't worry about it," you chuckle.

"That's what I thou-" The Bluetooth feature caused for a phone call to be heard all over the car. It was an unsaved number but he sighed before answering, already knowing who it was. "Hello ?" Trying to seem like you were listening, you turned and looked out the window.

"Hey, C. I was trippin' earlier," the female said.

"Yeah. You were."

"Maybe I can come back over or you can come over he-"

You weren't the type to throw up when drunk but at this moment you could make an exception. You sighed quietly, ready for him to hurriedly take it off Bluetooth or either accept the invitation. But it's not like it mattered or anything. You weren't together or anything like that. Right ? Right.

"Nah I'm good," he responded, nonchalantly. As he turned the loud click of him turning on his turn signal, was enough for the girl to hear.

"Where are you ? And what do you mean ? Can't we just talk ?" she responded in a pouty voice.

The more she talked the more annoyed you grew to be but maybe it was the Henny telling you, you could beat anybody's ass. "In the car. And I'm actually busy so-"

"Okay so then after you can just-"

"I'm good Mariah. Bye."

Before he got the chance to press the red button on the screen, she began to say something else. However, you didn't feel like listening. So you were quick to press it and turn back to the window. After, the music continued to play. And that was all you heard for the rest of the ride.

JuJu, Bryson, and Jean met you guys in the front of your house. "Thanks," you say quietly before getting out the car.

"No problem."

Just then, you heard little pitter patters on your balcony door. Confused, you put your phone down and got up, stopping to throw on your long and extravagant pink robe, with feathers on the sleeves and bottom. You opened the glass door and looked down.

As soon as he saw you, he was blown away. You looked like something out of a movie. "Hey," he smiled, hands stuffed in his pockets.

"What are you doing here ?" you responded, not knowing if you should be happy or annoyed.

"The party got shut down before we got to talk," he whisper-yelled.

"We talked most of the party."

"Yeah but then you went to shake ass. Without me, by the way."

You sucked your teeth, getting ready to turn around. "Goodnight C."

"Wait ! I'm serious. I wanted to talk to you."

You looked at the side of your house. It was gonna be hard but there was a way for C to climb onto the low roof that was right next to your balcony. What ? Your dad was a detective. You always needed an escape route. You explained to C how he would go about climbing up and he followed your directions to a T. Plus it wasn't that bad since your balcony wasn't too far from the ground.

"Well you're here. Speak."

"First I wanna apologize for Mariah-"

"You can't control her. No harm done."

He breathed a breath of relief. "So.. did you enjoy your night ?"

You nodded. "It was cool. Thanks for the invite."

"Of course. I like seeing these..parts of you." You tilted your head in confusion so he continued explaining. "Not like that ! As in now I understand why everybody likes you."

You crossed your arms, trying to conceal a laugh. "I'm flattered ?"

"Everything I'm saying isn't coming out right at all," he replied mentally face palming himself. "I'll be honest with you."

"Okay.."

"Tomorrow. I'd like to take you out."

You sighed, "I'm sorry, C. I can't. I have something-"

"No need to explain yourself. It's good," he answered defeated. He pulled out his phone, as if he was checking the time. "Uh it's getting late. I should just probably get going."

"You just got here-"

"Yeah but I have a few.." he looked around behind you to make sure nobody (aka your dad) was around to hear. "..runs to take care of."

You nodded, mouth forming an 'o' shape. "Alright. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Princess."
