"I heard that," he calls from the living area, but I ignore him as I hear the front door shut behind him.
My first night, and I'm getting treated like a child who is still living with her crazy mother. Just for that, screw them. I'm going to the dock party.
I walk up, tugging at the ends of the dress I didn't realize was this short, and my eyes fall on all the drunken fools acting out. Everyone is completely wasted right now, and I haven't had a sip. This could either be really fun, or incredibly annoying.
"You came," a voice says from behind, and I turn to meet the guy who invited me, though he's staggering drunk.
I don't even know how he recognizes me with his heavy duty beer-goggles on.
"I thought we had a moment."
"A moment?" I muse, stifling a laugh as he reaches for me and misses.
"Yeah," he says as he tries to figure out which of the many images is actually me.
"Seeing double?" I giggle out.
"Seeing quadruple," he jokes while shaking his head. "It's fucking wonderful since there're four of you and one of me."
When he finally finds me, his arm wraps around my waist to pull me to him.
"Hey, whoa. Easy, Romeo," I say through my snickers while escaping his hold.
"I can show you Romeo," he slurs while leaning toward me again, and I take a step back, bumping into someone.
I look up to see Kane towering over me, and my heartbeat quickens to the point of feeling like I'm going to explode.
"I thought you weren't coming," he says with a deviously sexy smile.
"I changed my mind," I mutter softly while turning to face him, and his eyes fall down to my chest before popping back up to meet mine.
"Yo, dude, she's with me," the drunken mess murmurs while tugging at my hand.
"Please stop," I huff while struggling to pull my hand free.
Then I feel Kane leaning over me and freeing me from the grasp.
"Actually, I think Alyssa is with me, considering I'm sober."
"So am I," he says while laughing ridiculously hard. "Alyssa is a pretty name."
I'm tempted to make his hand go crazy and splash his beer in his face, but I refrain from using magic.
Kane pulls me back behind him, tucking me safely in his grasp, and then he gently murmurs, "Actually, she's my girl. Better luck next time, Mark."
Mark huffs and slumps down to the ground. Fortunately, he's too drunk to even try to counter. I smirk as Kane pulls my hand in his and leads me toward the bonfire.
"Your girl, eh?" I tease.
He laughs a little, and then he looks over his shoulder.
"It worked, didn't it? You're here without anyone to help you rebuff their attempts, and you're wearing that," he says, motioning to my dress, his brow rising.
He offers me a glance that makes me blush, and he smirks before looking away.
"Are you trying to say you like my dress?" I flirt, and his smile grows.
He props up against the side of a truck and studies me intently, making me feel a little on display. The intensity of his green eyes is mesmerizing, and the way his dark hair plays with the wind is breathtaking.
