"Ain't drinking tonight", Scarlett politely refused to click a toast over the little celebration of her friend for making a safe landing out of a one-night stand, a relationship.
The handsome boy from that night and her friend, Dylan, were dating. The girl also got to know about this when her friend invited her out for tonight. First, she turned it down because she had to work on the assignment that was due tonight.
The boy persisted saying that there were a few hours before the clock would strike nine at night, the time he would pick her up from her house. She could complete it in an hour as the topic was on electric charges in lightning and thunderstorms and she had a flair for it. The professor, having left with no choice, set to the home straight after their little argument over time travel.
Dylan asked the girl to take her time and make a sensible decision, another reason she was sitting in the club. There she was, withholding the urge to sip on the drink, thinking about everything Dylan said. If she was being honest, the boy was quite pragmatic.
They didn't know what catastrophe had plummeted on the banana for its cover to appear only and it wasn't even peeled. Travelling without being sure about certain facts could lead to an unpleasant situation. They would do as Dylan said and if even after that, they failed to reach a certitude hypothesis, no one would hold her back anymore.
"So, you two are a thing now", she asserted looking at the two boys sitting on the couch placed across where she was sitting with a table positioned in between them.
"I don't have guts to resist this pretty thing", Alex, Dylan's new and first-ever boyfriend replied, his eyes shifting from Scarlett to the boy sitting beside him, his arm resting around on the back of the couch, trapping the boy. Dylan's ears started turning red at the sudden cheesy and cute pick-up line.
To avoid his friend shooting nonplus stares at him, he turned his head to see the expressions on his boyfriend's face and that was when he realized he had made a mistake, a beautiful mistake. His lips got caught by another pair of lips. Alex, firmly yet softly pressed his lips against him and pulled back quickly after leaving a sweet peck.
"I like how your ears turn in this shade", eyeing the red tips of his ears, he mumbled and looked back at the girl who had a bright, wide smile plastered on her face that she quickly replaced with an irritated expression when Dylan also set his eyes on her.
"I watch this stuff in movies. What am I even doing here?", her eyes rolled exaggeratedly, pretending to be zero interested in her friend's date. Well, that was only a little act she was putting on before Dylan.
She was filled with satisfaction and profound happiness watching a boy pecking the lips of her friend dearly. They might say that they were dating to see how things would work between them, the girl could see them already heads over heels for each other. She was happy that her friend finally met someone he deserved. And now, what about her? Did she only come to the world to watch people being lovey-dovey with each other?
"To try that stuff in real life and be more practical", Alex answered the girl.
"Try it? Yeah, sure, I'd kiss myself if I could since I can't find a single a*s for me", Alex broke into an amused chuckle at the girl's response. Kiss herself? She was interesting and hard to be pleased if he had guessed right.
"Look around, beautiful. You're young and hot. I refuse to believe that you can't find someone. There are many who would want to be in your pants trust me", the girl didn't agree with the hot part, not at least today.
After reaching home, she locked herself in the room to complete the assignment. By the time she uploaded it, Dylan was already outside her house. He could wait for her to change but the girl didn't feel like taking her lazy self up to the closet and getting dressed up. Therefore, now she was relaxing on the couch in jeans and a shirt. Hot? If anything, she was looking dishevelled with her hair sprawled over her shoulders.
"I can't just let anyone get into my pants. I've my standards", she slumped back on the couch, feeling a little tired and sleepy.
"I know that. Dylan told me how picky you're when it comes to choosing a boy even if you're looking for a one-nighter", Alex sipped on his drink while Dylan shrunk into his arms, not liking where the conversation was about to go.
"Oh, really? What else you have told him, my adorable, cute, precious friend?", the tone Scarlett let every word out in made the boy sink closer to Alex.
"Don't scare off my boyfriend, sweetheart", it was the second time for Alex to meet both friends but he felt like he knew them for years.
"He's not that innocent you think of him to be", Scarlett didn't believe the one acting all cute was the same Dylan who would talk nonstop about hot boys he watched on the screen, the same Dylan who would jerk off himself while watching those shows.
"Well, I realized that when he screamed for me to go faster", the mouth of the professor dropped open, eyes boring daggers at her friend who hid his face in the chest of the boy.
"One more word from your shitty sex night and I'd be leaving", what were they doing? Making fun of her single self?
Alex chucked adoringly at the girl while wrapping his other arm tight around the waist of the boy in his arms.
When the professor lifted her gaze from the duo and looked around, her eyes caught the hot boy walking up through the stairs, stopping in his track when he felt the same stare.
He rotated his head and their eyes met, again.
