After a time, they all started to leave. And at last it was quiet and peaceful. The annoying brat left first and not long after him, Blake left as well with Eugene to prepare for the party.
It was his birthday. Blake was the first of us to hit eighteen. If I remember well, next is Eugene, then I and the youngest would be Theo. It was funny, shortest and the youngest. I take my leave as well in few minutes after them.
Oddly while walking from the café toward my car all my thoughts drifted toward Theodore. He was a short, annoying kid With whom I could hardly ever have a normal conversation. I could pull words from his mouth and it still wasn't enough to make a sentence.
But lately he was acting odd, more odd than usual. I could overlook his cupcake obsession but the drinking one was becoming a problem. Why it had to be me that he called that night; I still wonder from all.
He knows perfectly well that I dislike him, for him being an obnoxious brat. Thinking about him gave me the urge to mentally slapping myself.
"Ty!" I hear suddenly hear my name and raise my head from the ground. It was a bad habit of mine. I like watching down more so than ahead.
The kid sees me and waves. He has a long sleeve shirt and tight black jeans. He was keeping the backpack in his arms.
"Why are you still around here?" I say annoyed, raising an eyebrow toward Theo, who was now playing with his fingers while holding his backpack.
"I... have no money for a taxi." He said looking to the ground. "Could you lend me few?" My jaw dropped hearing this. "Are you freaking serious?" I nearly wanted to shout. He looks at me and those puppy dog eyes he shoots towards me makes me feel guilty to leave him in the middle of the street.
"I'll take you home brat." I mumble while passing him. I pull him from the arm and the moment I grip him I hear him letting out a yelp. I overlook thinking I might of gripped him too hard. He looks fragile anyway. Without saying anything beside a soft thank you we arrived at his place. He got out from the car and Theo vanished in the building.
"Oh! This is the last time I'll take you home." I say letting out some cusses while I turn on the radio from my car and a love song starts to pierce my ears. I shut it down fast and drive silently until I finally arrive home.
A few hours later, I was on my way to Blake's house. My hair looked stylish and not messy. Heck even if I get bald I'll never let it loose. It looked like a patch of bushes without my hair gel in it. I pull the car into the driveway and get out, preparing myself ready for a long night.
"Good evening, Mrs. Sanders." I say to Blake's mom while I smile toward her innocently. She was stunning if I must say. She usually had a warm smile but tonight she had a gloomy expression on her face.
"Evening Tyler." She told me giving me a hug. She was always hugging us, best mommy ever. "The kids are in the backyard." She told me while she was holding a bag in her hand. "Don't tell Blake yet. We will be leaving for few days to my mother's because of some...slight issues."
I nodded and helped her with her bags. She was a single mom raising two boys. Their father left them but they never complained. She was strong and raised them well.
I knew now why she was sad. She had to leave her younger son alone when he was about to become a man, thinking on the last word made me smile. "Nathan, will be here later to take over for my place. You know how young kids are these days. Don't want to be a young grandmother."
Hearing this I covered my face trying so hard not to laugh. She probably wouldn't ever be. Her son was too freaking shy to ask the girl he liked out. It was a slight thing which I will help with tonight. I'm glad Nathan will be here though.
It had been some time since I seen the "head" of the family. After a few more minutes I found myself staring at the car which drives away.
"Home aloneeeeee!" I scream loud doing a happy dance. No parents to intrude in our little party. I look around and I noticed only few people have arrived. Blake was talking with some kids and Kathy was with Becka on the other side of the backyard, near the pool, looking hot in their swimsuits'.
Theo and Eugene weren't around. Blake spots me and waves. I smile and make him a sign that I'm going to go fetch me something to drink.
Once I get my drink I go back outside to get something from my car. The moment I open the door and make few steps, I stumble hard from Theo falling on my back.
"You're an idiot!" I scream trying to get up. "Watch where you're walking." I look up and Theo was acting odd. I try to stand up but I feel a hard push and I'm falling on my back again, now only to be catching myself on the ground with my hands. As well he was barely able to stand. He was drunk; just like he was that night.
"Did you start the party early?" I tell him but nothing I was said passed through his deep amber eyes. He looked at me in a daze. I wave in front of him. There was nothing beside a blank stare... He again had the same clothes after a better look. "You're freaking me out now." I tell him trying for the second time to stand up but once again I was pushed back down.
He might seem frail but damn he was strong. It was a thing which took me by surprise. He never acted like this. He walks towards me and without having time to react; he sits down in my lap holding my head with his hands.
He leans in and tilts his head slightly and suddenly he presses his lips against mine and then drew them back away without opening his eyes. I was shocked would be an understatement, I was speechless. I stared at him with so many uncontrollable mixed up emotions. I try to push him off but he seemed heavy upon me. He leans again and this time slowly he inserts his tongue in my mouth as well as biting my lower lip letting out a moan.
He felt shy and gawky while he was exploring my mouth. Our bodies were linked for a few seconds, perfectly molding to each other. I could feel his warm breath and his heart beating fast when he wrapped his arms around my neck, coming close; resting his head into my neck after that.
The words he said made me freeze before him just before he passed out in my lap. "I love you so much Blake." I felt my heart racing and cold sweat. "Holy. Crap." I nearly shouted loud and freaked out a bit not knowing how to react. What just happened?
Eugene lets out a gasp startling me. I push Theo down from me on the freshly cut lawn making him let out a huff. Embarrassed and confused I look at him and I fight to say something. The only thing came out was that I'll make his balls blue for a week if he tells anyone what he had seen.
"Dude, no, my Becka likes them just the way they look now, perfect." I raise an eyebrow annoyed. The kid was clearly too oblivious to know what really was happening here. If I thought about it, I had no idea either, I just discovered something about our little, innocent Theo.
Eugene was starting to freak out. He rarely saw Theo so drunk and never early in the day. He yells toward me and frantically tried to show me something. I turn around and he was throwing up nearly choking in his own vomit. I rush toward him and slowly I pull him up but he was most swooned.
"Help me take him to my car." I shout toward Eugene who was standing in front of me frozen from the image he had seen just moments ago and seeing Theo struggling to breathe. "He's too heavy you idiot." How the hell a skinny kid could be so damn heavy. I say to myself trying not to hit Eugene who was coming toward me like a snail.
"I'll take him to my place." I say while I took him from his arms and Eugene from his legs.
"Why?" Eugene looks at me confused. "He can stay here or you can take him home."
I look at him and I have a sudden urge to slap that goofy face of his. "First it's Blake birthday and I do not wish to ruin it because of this idiot. Second I know the building but not his apartment. I'm not going to knock on each door with a dead rat in my arms." I let out a killing look and we both started to drag him to my car.
Looking around, to be sure nobody had seen what we were doing; I jumped in the car letting Eugene sit in the backseat holding Theo, telling him to not let him vomit in the car. And if he did know that in the next few hours the police will find three dead bodies on the roadside.
