Theo's house was huge to say the least. It's always the frat boys with the mansions. "Don't leave me." I say to Madi and she just winks and sits in Theo's lap.

For fuck sakes.. why did I come.

I could barely see anything, the house was so dim. I left Madi... because it wouldn't have made a difference if I was there with her. She's too busy getting her face eaten.

I made my why to kitchen and open the glass fridge—this house is way too classy. I take a cold bottle of water and consume a large sip. It burned my throat... I'm starting to think that wasn't water.

"It's vodka." A deep voice says, breaking in between my coughs.

"Yep, I figured." I say, squeezing my eyes shut. "What dickhead puts vodka in a water bottle?"

"Hmm a dickhead that tries to hide it from his parents." He laughs. "Theo might seem like he can drink whatever but he is actually not allowed."

What. That's quite funny if you think about it. I blink a few times before realizing, I have no idea who I'm speaking to. "Who are you?" I quickly correct myself because that sounded so rude. "What I meant was, what's your name?"

"Ouch. You don't know who I am."

"Am I meant to?" I raise an eyebrow, but I doubt he can see me through this darkness.

"Hmm touché."

"Are you going to tell me your name?" I question.

"Nah." He says, taking a sip of his beer.

"Okay then." This guy is so weird. A name isn't that hard to give. I can nearly see his shadow but I take a step forward. "So are you single?"

"I don't label my relationship."

Oh. Well this conversation is going nowhere.

"What about you? Got a boyfriend?... or a girlfriend, if you swing that way."

"No, I don't swing that way, I like men." I laugh. "Not girls, boys... just men." I make clear.

"Good thing that I'm a man then." He clears his throat, making it deeper.

"A man would reveal his name."

"A man wouldn't reveal it unless he knows who his talking to." He whispers, taking a step closer to me.

We're inches apart now.

"Ouch. You don't know who I am." I joke, using his words on him. I lift my head above and he bends down slightly. Our lips hovering each other.

His hand that's occupied with the beer, reaches for the counter, and places the drink down then it's placed on my cheek, to bring us even closer. My back is against the counter and he's in front of me, stroking my bottom lips with his thumbs.

His lips touch mine and our heads move in sync.

It starts off soft, a light brush of our lips, but then his other hand grabs the counter and his body moves in until it presses against mine. Our legs tangle, our chests collide, and the tip of his tongue runs along my lips until I open my mouth and let him in.

A breathy noise escapes the back of my throat and at first I'm mortified, but it seems to encourage him. Desire and heat radiates through the entwining of our tongues. One of his hands grips my waist, just beneath the bottom of my shirt and my nerves jumble. His other hand travels down my side, his thumb tracing my ribs, before resting on my hip. Tightening his fingers around me, he lifts me up. Gasping, I hook my legs around his waist in a vice-grip.

My mind is flying about a million miles an hour. I'm afraid. Do I want this? Do I? The answer is yes. I want it. Badly.

I hope he doesn't notice the anxious tremble of my body as his fingers slip underneath my shirt and he sketches his fingertips along my stomach. As he nips at my bottom lip, I let out an uncontrollable whimper.

He draws back, putting a sliver of space between our faces. His pupils are huge and shiny beneath the stadium lights and his untamed breath caresses against my cheek.

"Mercy!" I hear Madi's voice call. "Where are you? We're leaving."

Fuck. I was so close to leading this kiss to sex with this random guy. I hop off the counter, trying to focus on the guys face but the lights were too dim for me to see any visible features.

"Coming." I hesitantly shout back. "Before I leave, can I get your number?" I ask, and he takes my phone out from the back pocket of my skirt, his hand hovering over my ass. He waves the phone over my face until it unlocks and he saved his number. "Thanks."

Before I leave, he grabs me one more time and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "This could've been so much more if it wasn't for you friend." He whispers in my ear and his voice is so seductive that my heart beat stays pumping even more.

Making my way to the front, where I see Madi looking pissed off but sad at the same time. Something definitely happened between her and Theo.

We head to the car, where I drop her off to her house and make my way to my own.

It was late night now, I've already had a nice hot shower and gotten ready for bed. All I could think about was the kiss and the fact that I have to wake up early tomorrow because we're going to the lake house. Like always, we celebrate all of our birthdays in the lake house. Although I enjoy the tradition, sometimes it can get boring, and all I ever wanna do is spend the day out with my friends.

Damn it, should've asked for his name.
