Drunk by your beauty

Dia's phone rang. She went to the balcony to take the call. She came back after a few minutes.

"Today is Sameer's birthday. He invited us to a party. Do you want to go?" She asked me while sitting on the bed.

I kept the book I'm reading on the table near me. "Yeah, we have to go right? It's Sameer's birthday." I said using my duh tone.

"Dad wouldn't allow us to go to the party." She sighed.

"Why?" I asked her.

What's wrong with going to a Birthday party? And of course, it's Sameer's birthday right.

"Partying is not allowed. My curfew is 6 pm. And the party is at 9. So there is no way they will allow us to go." She told with a sullen look.

"Uncle is not here and we could ask grandpa," I told her. They like Sameer so I don't think it would be an issue.

"They won't allow us, Amy, this is not the USA. They say it's not safe for girls. But Sameer really wanted us to come. I don't have the heart to tell him we couldn't when he invited. I will message him and say Ryan is not feeling sick or something."

"Why are you using my name? Anyway, We could sneak out. We can finish dinner early and pretend to go to bed and sneak out after everyone retired for the night. They wouldn't know." Ryan sneaked upon us smiling mischievously.

"How long are you eavesdropping on us?" Dia inquired him glaring at him.

"I entered the room but you guys didn't see me so I'm not eavesdropping, you both are blind. And about the party, I think we could sneak out."

"No no I don't think that's a good idea. We are 14. We can't sneak out. What if something goes wrong?" Dia started panicking.

"We could take a cab and go stay for half an hour and sneak back in. Don't forget Jason will be there with us." I am feeling pretty adventurous with the idea of sneaking out.

"So you in for sneaking out?" Ryan asked Dia.

"Yeah, if you both are sure. We are not going somewhere else. We are just going to Sameer's place right." Dia replied still a bit unsure.

"Oh, but we shouldn't tell Jason," Ryan ordered out of nowhere.

"Why?" Dia and I ask him at the same time.

"He won't allow us to sneak out," Ryan replied. Somewhere I agree with him. Jason would never allow us to sneak out. From what I observed he doesn't even like Sameer. He always looked irritated with Sameer's mere presence.

But, who never went anywhere without her parents can't take us, two lost souls in this city. I want Jason to come but then again I'm sure he will just yell at me if I asked him.

I wore a sea-green sleeveless button-up shirt with light cream-colored pants and finished the look with a gold shimmer belt and gold charm bracelet.

Dia wore a simple kurta and leggings. Ryan walked in his T-shirt Jeans and converse shoes.

"Ready to go?" He asked us.

Dia nodded yes. Ryan walked first to check if anyone was in the living room after checking no one was there, he messaged us.

After getting out of the gate, we spotted the taxi that Dia booked for us already waiting. It's a short 10min drive. We reached the house and some guys were standing by the small gate.

The house looked old with paint chipping off from walls, cracks in the ceiling, and wood stained doors. There are some 15 guys in the living room with 4girls. There are photos of Sameer with his parents on the walls.

Sameer entered from Inside and his face glowed after seeing us. He came over and gave a hug to Ryan and then me. He introduced us to some of his friends.

Few guys are sitting and playing video games, Ryan left us and joined them. I felt bored sitting on the couch with Dia. Some of Sameer's friends are trying to make a conversation with us telling us about their college life.

A guy enters with a few cases of beer. I see everyone grabbing a beer. I can't help but think what the hell I'm doing at this party with all the college punks and alcohol.

Guiltiness started eating me that we didn't inform anyone at home before coming here. It's already been half an hour since we came here and the party is boring. It is only about stupid boys and their stupid video games and stupid booze.

We don't know anyone here except Sameer and he is nowhere to be seen. Ryan is the only one enjoying video games. I looked at Dia's face and saw her in the same boring state as me.

"Can we go? I feel awfully bad for coming without informing anyone at home." I asked her.

"Thank God you said that this party is extremely boring. I will go and find Ryan." Dia replies.

"Let me go and find Sameer. I will tell him we are leaving." Saying I wandered inside to the dining and kitchen.

A girl in blacktop and Jeans with her jet black hair tied up in a high bun walked over and said "Are you, Amelia? Sameer is in the backyard. He is waiting for you there." She points to a door at the back kitchen leading to the backyard.

I thanked her and strolled out of the kitchen door to the backyard. I got a text on my mobile. Holy moly it's from Jason.

*Where are you guys?* I read the message.

*Please don't get mad. We sneaked out to a party. 🙈* I hit send.

*Whose party? What the hell Amelia?? Send me the address I will come there asap.*

He is addressing me, Amelia!! That sure tells how angry he is now. Now I'm scared to go back home.

*We are at Sameer's place. It's his birthday. We are just about to start. Don't worry. I will return within 10mins*

I hit send and placed the mobile back in my pocket. It's better to go back as soon as possible before Jason bursts with anger.

"Sameer" I called out to him. The backyard is big compared to the house with so many trees and bushes. I can spot a tree full of luscious guavas. I will ask Sameer to get me some, the next time he visits.

"Amy!! Come here. I want to show you something." he came out of a single room in the middle of the trees and held my hand pulling me to the room which is hidden by all the trees.

It's a tiny room with a single bed and a table with a laptop and books scattered on it. The small light bulb lit in the room gave the room a faint glow. Few of his shirts hung with the help of a wall hanger.

"Do you like it? It's like my personal space. No one is allowed in here not even my parents." he says.

"Yeah, it's nice here. Sameer it's late and we have to go. I thought to say goodbye to you before leaving. "

"Why so soon? You could stay for me for some more time."

Trigger warning for those who can be triggered by sexual assault

"No no, we have to go. Once again Happy Birthday," said I give him a small hug. I moved back breaking the hug but Sameer holds me by my hand.

"I really like you. You are so beautiful." He said grinning.

"What?"

That's all I managed to say. What does he mean by liking me? I tried to free myself from his grip. But it only made his grip on my hand tight.

He smirked and tried to come closer to me and hug me again and his face inching closer to mine.

"Okay enough buddy, let go of me," I said sharply trying to lose myself from his clutch.

"What you have a problem with me holding you now?" The strong smell of cigarettes mixed with alcohol hit my nostrils and it made me flinch my nose. I can feel my heart beating fast, sweat forming on my forehead and my hands turning cold.

"Are you drunk?" I gasped at him.

"I'm drunk by your beauty." He sneered at me.

"Sameer I'm warning you for the last time. Leave my hand and let me go." I gritted my teeth at him.

"Oh, you don't have a problem with Jason or Ryan touching you and hugging you. Why are you acting like a naive innocent girl? I think you already lost your virginity and slept with a few. It's common in your culture. It won't do any harm to you if allow me too." He tried to hug me tight at this point and I slapped his face hard with my other hand, so hard that it stung my hand.
