Chapter Seventeen: A Spark From A Drunk Fairy
By the time Clementine finished applying her lip gloss. She swiped her finger to straighten the hair on her defined natural shaped eyebrows. She carefully fluffed her curls, creating volume. Turning around in different angles to check herself, she definitely thought she looked okay.
Nothing too much.
She wore a jean skirt, a black tank top, and a pink leather jacket with black boots.
Simple.
A horn blew outside. A heavy sigh escaped her lips. She left her rooms climbing down the stairs. Lee and Carley were in their rooms taking a nap.
Clem went out the door and got inside the car. Seeing Gabriel texting on his cellphone. She awkwardly adjusted her sitting position as she strapped on her seatbelt.
He set his phone down before pulling off.
"How's it going?" He asked.
"It's going. Driving your dad's car. Did he approve?"
"Yeah. I was going to call an uber. But Duck called me to give you a lift because he is getting there a bit late. Anyway, I'm already pre gaming. Trying to get wasted tonight." The end of his lips curled. Clem scoffed.
"You're not babysitting me?"
"I can babysit and get drunk at the same time. I know how to multitask." He told her with sass. Clem narrowed her eyes.
"Multitask my ass." She laughed. What makes him think he can watch over her? Whenever can he get drunk? Clem never witness a drunk Gabriel. He can drink his hairy ass off.
"Sure. If that's what you like." He shrugged his shoulders. He received a smack on the thigh. He cried from the stinging pain.
"I'll get you back for that." He glared at her. She teasingly stuck her tongue at him. He dug behind his seat and pulled out a small bottle of tequila. He passed it to Clem.
Clementine's eyes widen in surprise.
"Pre game with me." He said. Clem scrunched her brows. Took her a second to think about it before gulping down the drank.

At the party, Marlon and Louis were screaming at each other over the ear bleeding loud music. The crowd around them chanted as the two guys arm wrestled at the kitchen.
"LOU! LOU! LOU! LOU!"
"MARLON! MARLON! MARLON!"
A vein formed on Marlon's pink forehead as he huffed and puffed. Both struggling to slam the other's arm to the table. Louis bit his lip, trying his mighty best to beat his friend.
Slam!
Marlon won. The crowd in the kitchen went wild. A few guys slapped the loser back. Marlon bro hugged Louis, patting his back.
"I'll let you win next time." Marlon smiled cheesey.
"Bruh. I let you win this." The teens ooed. Marlon stood face to face at his best friend. Both wearing a cocky grin.
"Just kiss each other!" Violet shouted.
They all laughed. The guys broke away and snickered. Alcohol running through their system.
Brody came up to Marlon and pulled him through the crowd. His lips attacked her neck. Staining her freckles neck with his own kiss markings.
Louis followed Violet to sit with Minerva who was telling a ridiculous story to a group. Louis had a cup and handed it to Minerva. She winked at him and sipped the cup. She went on continuing her story as he left to wonder around.
Louis spotted Mitch, Willy, and Duck. Willy knew damn well he was a sophomore. But they didn't bother to kick him out. He entertains the group. And he's Mitch's cousin.
"Sup biotches!" Ava popped in with a drunk Sophie. Their necks and chest covered with teeth love bites.
Ava saw Marlon and Brody making out. She ran up them. Pouncing on Marlon's back to break up their smooch.
"AVA! I bit my lip!" Marlon yelled. Ava and Brody giggled. Ava kissed his forehead.
"No sex during the party" She whispered in his ear. He shrugged her off. She laughed goofy as she went to get a drink with Brody and Marlon. Talking to them in a slur language.
Sophie spotted Louis. Before he could turn she dragged him to a vacant corner.
"Hey~! Lou!" She smiled. Her lashes framed her squinted eyes. Immediately, he knew she was high. She sluggishly did a one two step as her hands ran up his chest.
"Sophie." He warned.
"You're sooo~ sexy!" She slurred. Her breath smelled like beer.
Out of nowhere, Violet saved him. She took Louis from Sophie. He thanked her with a hug.
"Shit Vi! Thank God!"
"Yeah. Yeah. I'll keep an eye on Sophie. Before Minnie see and starts her shit. This is for Minnie." She poked Louis's chest. He held his hands up in defense.
"Okay. I get it... Cut your fingers." He smirked. She flipped him off.
"I promise you. This one will forever be in your face." She faded in the crowd to look for Minerva.
Louis sighed. He floated through the sea of teens and caught two familiar people. Lip locking, hands groping, eyes shut.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
.
.
Gabriel squeezed Clementine's ass as he kissed over her neck. She let her mind wondered, drowned in the music, alcohol, and his lips. Forgetting the people around them. Forgetting their friends at the party. Forgetting their dignity. Forgetting their friendship, they have.
She gasped when he slapped her ass. A giggle came through her lips.
"So aggressive." Her eyes lowered in daze as she looked deep in his eyes. He trapped her on the wall. He latched his lips on her pumped ones. He pulled back smirking.
"You're so fucking sexy." He whispered in her ear. She moaned. Hearing his husky voice vibrated her soul. Being with him now took her away in a zone she never knew she'll enter. All she wanted was him and his touch on her.
"You think so?" She teased in a flirtatious tone. Gabe chucked softly. Cupping her face to taste her mouth.
"I know so." He mumbled between the kiss.
.
.
"Oh shit." Duck tapped Ava who was busy yapping her mouth. She focused her attention on what Duck was pointing at.
"Is Clem and Gabe back together?!" Her brown eyes bugged out. Duck's shoulder raised then fell. He rushed his way to them, bringing the kissing duo to an end.
Duck pulled them apart, staring at them in shock.
"What the fuck Duck?" Gabe glared. Duck glared back at him. Seeing Gabe not in the right state of mind pissed him off.
"Why the fuck is Clem wasted? You know better taking advantage of her." He pushed Gabriel. Gabe sneered.
"Fuck off. It's a party. Clem had no problem with it." He pointed his chin at the small girl. Ava, beside her, gave Clem water to drown the alcohol.
"Chill guys. We just..." Clem couldn't think of what to say. The right thing. For her friends' sake. Ava folded her arms. Duck pass a bottle of water and Gabe did not refuse to drink it. Guilt swallowing him up as he drunk the water.
"Clem. Gabe. You guys need...to sort this shit out. I don't want my two close friends be friends with benefits. Ya friends or dating?" Duck scolded. Clem threw her bottle at Duck.
"What you mean?! I'm not going to fuck Gabe. We're just kissing. Kissing is not bad. You have no right to force us to become something. Fuck off." It wasn't their place to force her to decide. She did not know what she wanted anyway. She loves Gabe. As a friend, of course. But being together with him is questionable.
With her outburst, Duck picked up the wasted bottle from the floor. He cussed under his breath as he looked for paper towels.
Louis went over as Ava tried talking to Clem. Clem was pissed.
"Clem, you better than-"
"Can you not, Ava. I'm having a good time. You go find your girl and do the fuck you want." Clem waved her hand. She took Gabe's wrist, but it wasn't his. It was Louis.
She dragged the boy away. Louis looked at Ava and gave her a look. She mouthed 'watch her'. Gabe leaned against a wall further away from the loud music Clementine's previous shouting. Ava helped the Latino to a chair and aid him with water. Talking to him so more to cool him down.
Gabe felt embarrassed, sad, and angry. Each emotion balling up causing to have mix feelings about the situation. He would never in his life try to take advantage of Clem. But once they made it in the party, they were tipsy. They got more drinks, danced for a bit. At that moment, they were facing each other. Gabe couldn't tear his eyes off her adorable face and her lips moved from singing the lyrics.
Thinking back to that fuzzy moment. He was the one who kissed her first again.
Shit.
.
.
Louis stopped Clementine from her track. She turned to see his face. Embarrassed, her cheeks flushed pink. She dropped his arm.
"I'm sorry. I thought you wa- Please say you didn't see any of that back there."
"No... No... Okay. I did. Most of it..." Louis looked elsewhere. Clem rubbed between her brows.
"Shit. I... I'm a fucking mess." Her voice shook. She brushed her hair front to back. Fearing to let any droplets fall.
"Its fine. You're drunk and it was a mistake." Louis said. He took her further out to the back. They made it outside the patio. No one was there but them.
Clem leaned on the railing bar. Staring at the sky for answers. Her golden eyes shining bright as the full moon reflected on them.
"I want to believe that. But... I think... I like him again." She whispered the last few words. Louis caught that. His eyes widen in surprise.
"Again? You two... dated before?"
"Yeah. In middle school, though." She dragged her breathe. Louis leaned next to her and stared at the night sky. Stars twinkling in the darkness.
"Oh. Um. Cool." He didn't know what to say. Thinking back to what Marlon said. Dating Clementine and finding love. He shook that thought out of his head.
Not wanting to stir his mind up and convince himself to force something he did not want to happen. He couldn't visual himself dating anyone. Romance is a waste of time.
Like his father said.
You're either happy or rich.
And making money is where it's at.
"Is that all you have to say? No jokes?" She asked him with a sad smile. Louis struggled a bit. Usually he'll hug Violet or his other friends that are girls. But he barely knows Clem. It would be awkward.
So he bumped her arm. Smiling softly at her. Noticing how shiny and bright her honey eyes are. Her eyes were an open book. Looking at them, he could tell she was deeply hurt and confuse.
"My bad. Seeing a crying Choker is surprising." She rolled her eyes with a side smile.
"Oh boy. I shouldn't had said anything." She said with sarcasm. He chuckled. Her amber eyes glittered, under the moon light.
"Anyway. If you like him, why not...tell him? He seems like her have feelings for you too." Clem shook her head rapidly. Shaking her curls wildly.
"Nooo~... I can't face another break up when he acts... A certain way." Her face hardened. Hurt plastered her eyes as she thought back when Gabe started off lovey dovey to distant and cold.
Being friends is the best thing to be. She tells herself.
"Then move on to someone else. Someone whos... your type of guy." Louis looked down at her. She dazed in his eyes. Thinking. It was hard to when alcohol still in her system.
"There's no such thing as being picky to be with someone base of their character. To me, once you feel that spark... two people click." She smiled dreamily.
"Spark?"
"Yeah. A sense of knowing that you and the other person are meant for each other. Doesn't matter if it's just for a moment or life time...but its special and meaningful. That's how I see it. What about you?" She asked Louis. She leaned her head down as she watched him staring out to the distance.
"Me? Um... I don't know much about relationships. I... I do like someone though..." He admitted. She listened closely to him.
"Of course, she has someone else. I thought we had a...'spark'... But she and the other person had mutual feelings before I can tell her how I felt." Louis said before sighing sadly. Clem frowned. After listening to that, saddened her. Poor guy didn't experience his first love.
"Sorry to hear that. Why not...move on to someone else?" She smiled. Louis chuckled. Hearing her flip his words on him.
Soon as her hand reach his arm, he jumped. Rubbing his elbow, he chuckled as she hissed from the shock.
"We sparked." His eyes smiled. She giggled. Like ...Like a fairy.
Her tan cheeks flushed pink as she nudged his arm with her shoulder.
"Dork." She mumbled. Louis peeked at her to see her small smile on her face as she stared up at the stars. He looked up too. Adoring the beauty with his little drunk fairy.
