~Josh's POV~
Late Friday night, the city was buzzing and I found myself at this wild house party with a few of my boys, The music was loud, the drinks were flowing, and I was just living in the moment dancing like the reckless teen I was, forgetting everything else.
I laughed more than I remembered I could, let loose more than I probably should've, my body felt light, movements uncoordinated, my head spinning like a cheap carnival ride, I was dizzy, that kind of drunk where the room sways even when you're standing still, my stomach churned like it wanted to empty itself, but I held it down, I wasn't about to make a damn fool of myself, not tonight.
I took another swig of whatever someone handed me, I didn't even know what it was at that point, then I jumped right back into the dance floor and that's when I saw her,
She stood out like a flame in a crowd with her orange blonde hair cascading down like a sunset dipped in danger and she was staring at me, not just staring but she gave mw the hungry look, her eyes locked on me like she already knew what she wanted, and it was me, I tried to look away, really I did, but she was too damn sexy to ignore, her body moved to the beat like she was the music and before I knew it, she was in front of me, our bodies close up to each other, swaying together like we'd done this before,
Her hands slid to my shoulders and my hands found hers waist almost automatically, it was a blur heated ans sweat rhythm, then she tilted her head and leaned in slowly, her lips inches from mine, and my dumbass? I let my eyes close, drunk, lost, and all caught up,
But just before our lips touched, her face blurred in my mind, and instead, I saw Miley's face appeared,
Miley!!!
Her laugh, her warmth, her beautiful blonde hair and cute innocent face, the way she looks at me when I say something stupid but she loves me anyway hit me like ice water, my eyes snapped open, and reality crashed down hard,
I pulled back immediately,
"Wait.....wait", I mumbled as I was breathless a bit, my hand shot up, gently covering her lips, "I have a girlfriend, I can't do this",
She blinked like she didn't understand English, I gave her a half apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lead you on, you're beautiful but I'm taken",
She didn't say anything just kept staring and honestly, I don't think she cared, but I did, so I stepped back, gently but firmly, and said I had to leave, I could tell she was disappointed and yeah, little part of me was tempted, but that little part? That little part wasn't stronger than the big part that loved Miley.
One of my boys saw I was stumbling and offered to drive me home, and thank God he did because I don't even remember getting upstairs to my room, all I know is I crashed on my bed, fully dressed and I blacked out cold on my comfy soft bed.
The next day, my eyes blinked open, dry and slow, sunlight bled through the blinds like it had been waiting forever, I grabbed my half dead phone from the floor and it was 1:15 in the afternoon,
"Was I that drunk?", I croaked to myself.
My Phone was at 15% so I plugged it in, groaning as I dragged myself into the shower.
After I cleaned up, I went downstairs, stomach growling like I hadn't eaten in days, so I decided to whip up a sandwich, that was the only thing I could actually whip up without setting the house on fire,
Just as I grabbed the bread, I heard a knock on the door,
I groaned "Who the hell—?", I rolled my eyes,
Dragging my feet forcefully to the front door, I opened it and froze,
It was Her!!!
The girl from the party.
She was standing there like some messed up movie scene, in daylight now, all done up and smiling like this was normal,
"I'm the girl from last night", she said casually,
It took me a second, but yeah I remembered,
"How did you find out where I live?", I asked as I was half creeped out half confused,
She gave a shrug, "I asked a friend of yours, I just wanted to see you I think it was love at first sight",
I blinked and scoffed, "Look, I told you I have a girlfriend, this isn't gonna go anywhere, you need to leave",
She pouted, stepping closer flirtously, "You sure?",
"Yes", I said firmly,
I turned and walked away, back to the kitchen, took out the cheese, turkey and whatever I could find, then I smacked my forehead,
"Damn it!!! I forgot to lock the front door", I groaned out loud,
I turned around and nearly dropped the knife I was holding,
She was sitting on the counter, smiling and legs swinging,
"Seriously?!", I snapped at her "What is wrong with you?",
She tilted her head, acting all fake innocent, "Relax man, I just wanted to see you",
I was already pissed, but she pushed it further as she got off the counter, walked up to me all slow and sultry,
"You sure you don't want this?" she whispered, finger trailing up my chest,
I snapped, "No, I'm gonna walk you to the door right now",
I grabbed her arm, trying to guide her out but she pulled me instead, trapping me between her and the fridge, before I could react she kissed me,
And that's when it happened.
The door opened and Miley walked in,
She stopped dead, her expression dropped and her eyes locked onto the scene and in that second, everything inside me shattered, my eyes widened in shock too,
"Miley....wait! I can explain..." I tried to speak as I called out,
Her face twisted into betrayal and heartbreak, she gave me a tight slap across my face, I felt it hard but I didnt react only saw the hurt look on her face,
"WE'RE DONE"!!! she screamed, her voice shaking with emotion and it stung like fire,
"Wait!" I said to her, "Miley please, it's not what it looks like!", I tried to reach out to her but instead she shoved me away,
Then she ran, just ran,
Then she was gone, no second glance, no pause.
I turned to the girl, fury in my blood,
I saw she was giggling like this was some game, some silly joke,
"Get out" I growled. "Now!!!!"
She blinked as her smirk fading, "Ooohh common—"
"GET...OUT!!!" I yelled,
I shoved the door open and pointed, she finally gave up seeing the angry look on my face, and she tossed me a fake sad look over her shoulder as she was going,
I slammed the door behind her, breathing hard, my hands shook,
What the hell just happened?
I tried calling Miley, no answer,
I texted but still nothing,
Soon I realized I was blocked, I knew it, I knew it.
Now all I could do was sit there, my sandwich half made, the kitchen smelling like perfume that wasn't hers,
Did I just lose the girl I love over something I didn't even want?
God...I had to fix this, someway or another...
