Today we were supposed to go to a party at Kristen's place, Kristen was home alone because her parents were away on a trip. I honestly didn't understand how she could be in the mood for a party when the exam was so close, at least I didn't until I found out it was her birthday. It was strange that even though I was touching and kissing her I still didn't know what date her birthday was. I was getting ready, it was getting close to the time we had to go. Finn had just woken up from being drunk, he always gets drunk before we went somewhere. He was walking around the room trying to find a sweatshirt. "Don't you want to take a shower first? You smell like alcohol."
"You're right I really should." He goes to take a shower while I was preparing some clothes for him, sometimes this happened, he forgot that he had to take a shower.
The doorbell rang and I could only expect the worst, I already knew who it was. I didn't want to open it, I didn't even know what reaction to expect. In the end, the doorbell was getting more and more insistent and I decided to open it. It was Adelaide. I sigh in relief.
"What are you doing? Are you ready? What does that smell like? Did something happen between you two?"
"We didn't do anything, absolutely nothing. Stop thinking about nonsense."
"I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously. Call Finn and let's go because Kristen is already starting. She has a Jacuzzi so you won't be bored, unless you don't like water which would classify you as miserable ." "Finn!" I call him but he was probably still in the shower. After some time he finally answers.
"What do you want?" He sees Adelaide and quickly changes his attitude.
"Let's go." That's all Adelaide tells him, observing his attitude and probably suspecting that he was the cause of that smell. We go with her, we were lucky that Kristen was living in a house close to ours. In about 5 minutes we arrive, there were a lot of people there, probably all of them were relatives and friends of hers. I analyze all the people and only one stands out. It was Darren, what the hell is he doing here?
It was clear he had noticed me and he was winking at me probably trying to make me feel intimidated. I try to ignore him but I just couldn't ignore him, every 5 minutes I turned my head in his direction. I hated what I was doing, it was ugly how I tried to scare myself that I don't want to see him anymore, to feel him anymore, to want him anymore. I had rejected his last calls, I didn't want to remember the past, but fate seems to take some pleasure in slapping me. He takes a glass of wine and pours it down his throat. I go to get some snacks from the bowl, I take some and eat them, he was looking at me and I was trying to ignore him. He approaches and says.
"Since I haven't seen you in years. How are you?"
I look at him nervously, I don't understand how he still had the nerve to even think of talking to me.
"None of your business, besides, what are you doing here?"
"Am I not allowed to come to my sister's birthday or what?"
"Your sister's birthday? Kristen is your sister?"
"Yes, surprise I have a sister, I'm sorry I have a sister."
He says ironically.
"I didn't know you had one."
"Well,Kristen, she was adopted by another family, your mom took me in because when my parents died, I was older and Kristen was just a baby, her parents are actually her uncle and her aunt. She knows but she doesn't really care."
I understand what he's saying but I couldn't get it out of my mind that the girl I was kissing until now was Darren's sister. They looked alike, I can't deny it, but I had never suspected that they were related.
"Where have you been all this time? Don't you know how much I've missed you?" I don't answer him and I go to talk to the others.
Finn
I was walking around her house, I didn't know most of the people there, only her and 5 other people. I walk over to Carl and start chatting with him.
"Hey how are you?"
"I came to see what Krissie is planning to do at this party. Wouldn't you like to come to the jacuzzi with me? She has a big one. Don't worry, I asked for her permission to use it." I decide to go with him. I was a bit embarrassed to be in the jacuzzi with him.
