"Lisa!" a few random voices from the crowd yelled as she walked into the room. The people inside were older teenagers, probably all in college, and of that age. There were about ten of them sitting on nice couches and rugs on the floor of a gorgeous suburban home, and they were all white. This didn't really bother Lisa, who is African American. She'd been here before, met these people a dozen times, and was real excited to party with them again.
"What's up, guys?" she asked as she moved into the house and took off her coat. Three people got up to give her hugs and talk closely with her.
"What's in the bag, girl!?" her flamboyant friend Adam asked. She held a brown paper bag over her head like a trophy and said,
"In the bag, my friends, is a gift for us all from my paycheck.." she said dramatically and pulled out a bottle of rum. Everyone laughed and gasped as she put the bottle with the others on the kitchen counter and started mingling.
No one was drunk yet, but Lisa could tell a few of them already had drinks. She started a conversation with a girl when her crush appeared in her sight coming down the staircase. He wasn't what you'd call hot. Maybe not even cute. But something- this THING about him stirred her insides. He resonated sexy. It was all over his clothes, his face, his voice, his body. She didn't realize how bad she'd had it until she heard him scream.
"Lissaaa!!" he exclaimed as he ran to her and hugged her. She nearly dropped her glass as he enveloped her in his big meaty arms. He was about 6'5", and had a good chunk of weight on everyone in the room. They all made cracks about him being bigger and all that, and he was big. And as far as she was concerned, fuckin' SEXY.
"Pauly!!" she exclaimed with a fake enthusiasm. Not that she wasn't excited, she just didn't want to seem TOO into him. "Look what I bought!" she said, showing off the beautiful, expensive bottle of rum she wanted to save for only them.
"Jesus Lisa...you better not let me get too drunk cause I might just bang you all NIGHT LONG.." he said with a chuckle. Her knee quivered and she giggled nervously.
It had been about an hour since Lisa came, and people, including her, began to get tipsy. She decided to slow down for now because it would take Paul at least another hour until he felt it, cause of his height and weight. Meanwhile, she snuck off to talk to her friend Adam.
"So who you diggin on tonight?" he asked intently.
"Well...kinda...Paul!" she said, almost surprised she was admitting it aloud.
Adam laughed, "well, DUH- but anybody else?" Lisa was worried.
"Shit, can you TELL?"
"Well you and Paul always flirt so damn much," Adam justified. "You gonna get some tonight?" Lisa laughed. The only problem was, she wasn't. Lisa was a virgin for a reason- yup- saving it for marriage. But she wanted to do EVERYTHING else with Paul. She knew in her mind she'd never been so turned on sexually before. And she didn't know why. Paul was a metalhead- and looked the part. All his outfits are right out of Hot Topic, and he had a buzzed head, goatee, and played in a metal band. Only he wasn't an asshole like other metalheads she'd met. He was so sweet. He had a kind of rock star presence about him, and that was probably what Lisa found so hot about him, being such a music lover herself. That and the innuendo and sexual banter, the stares, jokes, and incessant hugging- it was all running through her mind as Adam snapped her back.
"Lisa- I SAID- are you lookin to bang that kid all night like he said?" Adam was always embarrassing Lisa, she felt herself turning red.
"Let's go be social" Lisa said and they joined the others in the kitchen.
About a 1/2 hour went by and Lisa felt the first whirl of drunkenness pass by. She chuckled, then wondered where Paul had gone to. He hadn't been around in what seemed like an hour. He completely eluded her because she was talking to other people. "Oh well," she thought as she made her way to the bathroom. After relieving herself, she walked by friends in the living room. She planned to go outside to smoke, but when she got to the garage, she saw the door to the second car addition and considered it to be a great place to be alone with her thoughts. It was where Kelsey's Dad kept the motorcycle, there was a tool bench, and enough room to fit another car. Her, Kelsey and Adam used to hang out there when her parents wanted them out the house. Lisa opened the door, and nearly gasped when she saw Paul sitting in the armchair.
"Paul! I was gonna sit out here, too. I'll go outside..." Lisa started to leave slowly. Paul called after her.
"No, it's fine. Plenty of room right here," he said provoking her, patting the chair's armrest. His voice was deep and sort of raspy. "God.." Lisa gasped inside. She slowly stumbled to the chair, shutting the door behind her. The rum was catching up with her. She slowly climbed the armchair, and ended up sitting sideways on Paul's lap, for fear that sitting on the arm would tip the chair over. She was 5'4", and wore a size 14- thick, and short. Her friends called her "fun size" in high school because of her height and small face. She looked down at her chest because she spilled beer on her shirt earlier, but was relieved she couldn't see it. Her clothes were all black, as were most of those kids' because they belonged to that subculture. Luckily, Lisa and Paul were both not as dark and hardcore as they'd let on. It was mainly a show.
