It was a long night, but fun nonetheless. Samuel Rivers was throwing a three night long house warming party to celebrate moving into his own home, and I was one of the first to be invited to the party. And by the time the party began, Samuel was hosting over thirty guests, including myself, Rachael Ellis, Sarah Gibbs, Jordan Andrews and even my girlfriend, Rebecca Keane. The first night of the party was the most fun that I've ever had, and it was also a showing of things to come for the rest of the party.
Early in the night however, Rebecca had to leave, stating that she had to be at work in the morning and that she would not come back to the party until the following afternoon. And so after giving me a kiss goodnight, she left the house, leaving me to continue drinking and having fun at the party. The term "When the cat's away, the mice can play" could not be more accurate, because as I drunk more and more, I started to feel a connection with a girl from my English class, Hayley Watkins, but because I was so drunk I couldn't tell whether she felt the same way about me or not.
However this was later confirmed after a discussion with my mates. "Dude," Jordan explained to me, "Hayley is so flirting with you!"
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah," Matthew Miles exclaimed, "You should ask her out! She's a total hottie!"
"I can't do that," I said, "I've already got a girlfriend! If she found me with her, she'd kill me! And besides, Hayley just got dumped didn't she?"
"Oh yeah, that's right, Hayley was dumped only a week ago, and the worse thing was that just a couple of days later her ex-boyfriend had already got another girlfriend! The poor girl must be heart broken!"
A thought then came to my mind. "That's most probably why she's here. Trying to drink her problems away. Could you imagine what it would be like if her ex-boyfriend was at this party?"
"I know," Jordan said, "Lucky Sam didn't send him an invitation."
"True."
"Well I still think that you should go for her," Matt continued, "I mean you've been closer to her tonight than you've been with Rebecca! You both really like each other. I can tell!"
I considered Matt's suggestion for a brief moment, only to make a decision. "Maybe. Let's have a few more drinks and let fate take its course." And with that said, we all gulped down another can of beer, and indeed Hayley and I drew ever closer the more drinks we had. Late at night we even found ourselves cuddling with each other on the sofa!
Later into the night everyone at the party fell asleep. It had been a long and fun night for everyone, particularly for Hayley and myself. However what we both did not expect was that the night was over, but the party was just about to begin, as we were about to find out in the following morning.
