Chapter 3 - The party

Abbey POV

Mum and dad just left to go home, don’t get me wrong, I love spending time with them, but they can be a little embarrassing, they have no boundaries, and they have no sense of leaving me alone to enjoy my time before class start.

“There’s a party today. Do you want to go?” Roxie asks and I nod my head, why not, it’s been a while that uses been to a party, the last one was in Milan. I went with Francesca and Mario. We partied for forty wight hours and then we got the jet back home.

“Where is it?”, I ask, and Roxie tells me that it is at some rich boy house. Apparently she likes to be well connected and only hangs at rich people’s places, great.

One hour before the party, Roxie walks into my bedroom, and she is wearing a black silky dress that hugs all her curves, she looks me up and down, and I am still in my leggings and t-shirt.

“What are you doing?”, she asks, and I look at my watch, jumping out of bed as I lost track of time. I have a quick shower, and I do some light makeup and I grab the first pair of jeans I can find and one of my plain t-shirts. I don’t want to call attention to myself.

“Is that what you’re wearing?” Roxy says as soon as I get out of my bedroom.

“What's the problem?”, I ask looking at myself in the mirror.

“Nothing, you’re just so…. Plain”, she says, and I can’t help but laugh.

“That’s okay”, I let out, opening the flat’s door. We leave the flat, and we meet Penelope at the bottom of the road where she’s waiting for us with another girl I’ve never seen before.

Penelope introduces us, and we all walk to the party. It is just around the corner from where we live, so there’s no point to get a taxi there. Once we get there, the party is already full-blown. As soon as we get there, both Penelope and Roxy ditch me to hang out with their friends. Fair enough, I walk around, and then I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look to see the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen in my life. He is a lot taller than me, his skin is tanned, and his blue eyes are shining with mischief.

I move his hand away from my shoulder; it is not okay to touch someone without their permission, and I am very protective of myself. “What’s your name?” he asks me, and I can notice some girls giving me a dirty look, shit. He is the playboy from Oxford, isn’t he? “Not interested”, I tell him walking away. He is definitely my kind of guy, but I don’t want to start having problems as soon as I get here.

I walk into the kitchen to get a drink, and they only have plastic cups. Great, I pour some red wine into the cup and take it to my lips. It tastes horrible, and I can help but scrunch my nose at it. I can feel the playboy next to me, and he’s looking at me as if I am a piece of meat, not happening, mate.

I walk away, and once I reach the party again another boy comes talking to me, he is blonde with green eyes, cute, but not my type. He seems too sure of himself, and I don’t like that, immediately he traps me between his body and the wall, and it gives me the creeps, so I escape from him.

I walk to meet Roxy that is now sitting on the floor with a bottle of beer. I sit next to her crossing my legs, and she smiles at me, she introduces me to her friends, and we all start talking happily.

“Hey, Henry, come and join us”, Roxy says, and I look up to see the playboy standing next to me. He nods his head and sits between Roxy and me. I roll my eyes, and everyone starts saying about playing truth or dare. great. I haven’t played it since I was around twelve.

“Hey, what’s your name?”, The playboy asks me again, this time blowing his breath onto my neck. I bet he knows that that is sexy.

“Regina Falange”, I let out, and I can hear Roxy bursting into laughter. I look at him, and he looks puzzled.

Everyone starts laughing at the stupid questions and dares being thrown around, and that’s when Henry’s time to ask me truth or dare.

“Regina, truth or dare?”, Henry asks looking at me, and I ask for the truth.

“How many people have you slept with?”, he asks, and I start doing some mental math and give him the number “Four”, I say, and I feel the playboy stiffing next to me.

He looks at me as if I am an alien, I shrug my shoulders paying attention to the dares happening, and that’s when Henry is dared to kiss me. I roll my eyes as he stands on his knees, offering me his hand. Roxy gives me a small smile, and I get on my knees, taking his hand, and he leans foreward and his lips meet mine without any hesitation. They feel warm and soft. I close my eyes, wrapping my hands around his neck, deepening the kiss as he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him.

I break the kiss and I stand up walking into the bathroom straight away. Everyone was cheering and going as we didn’t stop kissing for a while. Argh, there goes my stay low profile for a while, now I’m just another hook up for the playboy.

When I’m done in the bathroom I walk back into the room to find Henry with his tongue down another girl’s throat. classy. I grab my stuff from the floor and Roxy walks to me in a fast pace. “Where are you going?”, she asks

“Home, this party is getting boring”, I say and she rolls her eyes looking at Henry that is now receiving a lap dance from another girl.

“I see, I’ll go with you”, she says and I nod my head.

Once we get home we go straight to out respective bedrooms. I don’t want to be making small talk right now. In the morning I wake up with Roxy singing in the kitchen. I get myself ready for class and I walk into the front room to find a mug if coffee for me at the coffee table. I sit next to Roxy that is now watching something on tv.

“Omg Abbey, What was that yesterday? I can’t believe you did that”, Roxie say offering me a smile as she pulls her hair back into a messy bun.

“What?”, I ask crossing my arms in front of my chest at the same time I cross my legs.

“Did you just Friends Henry?”, she says now laughing.

“He is embarrassing, doesn’t he have any self respect?”, I let out rolling my eyes and leaning forward to grab my mug of coffee from the coffee table in front of me. Flashes of him kissing other girls and receiving a lap dance invade my mind and I roll my eyes.

“Yeah, he is a player, but you didn’t have to say your name was Regina Falange, did you see his face?”, Roxie let’s out still laughing holding her stomach.

“I wasn’t going to give him my real name, that’s for sure, he’s just another stuck up rich boy that thinks the world revolves around his bellybutton”, I say and Roxy laughs harder.

“You really have no idea who he is do you? Do you know how many girl wish he was giving them his attention?”, Roxy asks now on a more serious tone.

“Do I look like I care?”, I ask standing up and pulling my bag over my shoulder and grabbing my jacket with my other hand.

“Come on Abbey, don’t leave”, Roxie says.

“I’ve got classes to go to”, I say walking out of the house.
