The deep sexy voice stranger was just about to leave but Beverly had already made up her mind in seconds. She had promised Payton not to be a prude and even if it meant taking questionable substance from this stranger, she did not mind. She needed to loosen up and this was the only way to do that.
"Wait" She reached out and held his hands. "I'll come with you."
He took a long drag on his vape stick, blew the smoke in her face, smiled and said, "Good girl." then led her to the sofa where a few guys who were obviously under the influence sat and just watched everyone else.
As soon as they arrived, he said, "Guys, meet..." turning to look at Beverly to ask her for her name but deciding not to, he turned back at his friends and said, "She's the hot one."
He gently led Beverly to the sit and as he sat beside her he whispered, "Make yourself comfortable, we won't bite. I'm Desmond by the way."
Beverly chuckled and said, "Beverly". As she say among them, she just thought about how she didn't think she'd come back to this life. Watching the different substances on the table and the shisha bongs, the "kush" pot, it all brought back memories she thought she had buried with her ex boyfriend. It felt like she was reliving her experience with him and it scared her. She closed her eyes and tried to go to her happy place. She used to imagine herself in a different world whenever things got overwhelmed with her ex boyfriend and his overuse of these substances. Ten minutes into being around everyone on the sofa, she begin to notice that she might be having "second-hand" influence.
Oh no, not this again! She thought but she couldn't leave because she couldn't will herself to get up. She tried to look around for Payton but her vision was now failing her.
Sensing her discomfort, he gently caressed her chin and slowly brought her face close to his and asked, "Are you okay, moonpie?"
She blinked slowly and slightly shook her head. "I-I-uh-I think I just need something to clear my head."
"Yeah? Wanna leave here?"
She couldn't tell if it was the was he said it, or the sound of his voice but something enticed her to shake her head and say, "No, I'll just stay here."
He smiled and said, "Good, because I have something to ease you up a bit.", he reached for a fannypack that was on the table, took out a pill, slid one on his tongue and held out the other one, then he said, "How do you want to get it?"
Beverly from two hours ago would have said no, but not this Beverly. She had been dying to know what his lips tasted like and if this was the only chance she'd get tonight, she was willing to make it happen at all cost. She leaned in, tilted her head slowly and went in for both the pill and a kiss.
With the way his tongue waited for hers to meet his, she concluded that he was a gentleman and was waiting for her to come to him. After taking the pill, she moved her face from his but he smiled and leaned forward beckoning on her lips to meet his. She smiled and leaned in for the kiss.
It was the deepest, most gentle yet sensual kiss she had gotten in a while. He matched her slow rhythm, they complimented each other and like longtime lovers, it felt like the whole world had stopped spinning for them. Then, Beverly felt his hands reach and gently held on her thigh. He moved it in a circular motion, almost purposely avoiding her inner thigh.
Ouuu, a gentleman, she thought.
Just as their kiss deepened, he broke off and whispered, "I gotta take a piss, moonpie. Think you can wait here for me? I'll be back before you know it."
He kissed her lightly on her cheeks and then on her lips.
As he left, Beverly began to feel woozy. She suddenly started feeling so excited. And then she started running her palms up and down her hands. Everything felt so good, she was so happy. She felt like dancing. She wanted to spin around. She wanted to run. She wanted to jump. She wanted to laugh because she felt so much happiness.
Impulsively, she turned to one of the guys beside her and then she started seeing rainbows coming out of his face. It made her laugh and then she started touching his face.
He was too plastered to move and he too was under the influence of the Molly she had taken.
They laughed with each other, at nothing and felt euphoric for twenty minutes before she felt like using the restroom.
"Do you know where the bathroom is?" She asked the guy she was laughing with.
"No, but did you know you have rainbows coming out of your ears?" He asked her laughing.
She just giggled and stumbled out of the sofa on a journey to find the bathroom. It took some time but she found herself in the host's room. The door to the room was slightly open, when she entered the room, she saw someone on the bed, and she yelled, "Yo, I-I was just... I-You cannot tell me... I think I know that the toilet is somewhere... there? Have you seen the toilet?... I think it ran away or something but I know that—"
The person on the bed stood up and walked over to her and then said, "Are you okay?"
She looked at him, then squinted to be sure she could see his face but all she saw were goggly eyes. "I think... I believe that if I was not seeing things, you would not have those googly eyes."
He reached out to her and said, "What do you want?"
"To pee. Wanna come?"
"No, but let me help you" He guided her to the bathroom and stood by the door waiting for her to finish.
Beverly started to urinate but then she noticed the decorations on the wall and she started tracing it and giggling happily.
After some time, the stranger called out from outside the door, "Are you done yet?"
"Yeah? But these walls are so pretty"
"Uh huh, well, I'm too high to know that, but um, if you need my help, just yell or something, okay?"
