"Never have I ever made-out in a closet." – Nate
Ella wasn't entirely sure what was happening, but as her back was pushed against the wall, she didn't care. Pasta was knocked off the shelf and she was vaguely aware that her heel had punctured a soda can, causing her to squeal in drunken delight as it spewed in a great burst of foam.
She wasn't exactly sure who this man was, but his dark curls felt nice in her hands. And the way his lips moved against hers was absolutely sinful. But when he would try and say her name, something was just off. It sounded like the L's were Y's or something.
"Ella, la mia bella donna. Cosa stai aspettando?" What was she waiting for?
"Nicoli, I…"
He broke the kiss and laughed merrily.
"No, no. Not Nicoli, Natheniel."
Ella's heart dropped to her stomach.
"What?"
"Nat-tan-yell, that is my name. I tell you all night."
She didn't want it to be his name. But she took in where she was, with newly sobered eyes, and known exactly what she had done.
Tall, curly dark hair, winking brown eyes, and a firm jaw line. She had projected Nate into this fake Nate. She smiled prettily and tugged his collar a bit.
"How about I go freshen up?"
The fake Nate grinned in a drunken stupor, and Ella exited the closet. Exited the party she hadn't been invited too, and went home. She took off all of her pretty things, her pretty make-up, and threw her hair into a half-assed bun and just let herself cry.
And that's how Kendelle found her in the morning, curled up into a little ball on the couch crying.
"Oh Lord Almighty, I know that look." She wrapped the petite brunet into her long arms. "That's the look of regret. What in the hell happened last night baby girl?"
Ella stopped from her sobs long enough to choke out, "I made out in a closet with the Fake Nate, and all I can think about now is making out anywhere with the real one." She cried for a while into Kendelle's shoulder.
"Delle, I want to go home."
"To your house; or to Nate, El?"
Kendelle made a good point. During her shower, Ella resolved herself. While making out in a closet was fun, she probably shouldn't do it with a projection of her dreams.
"Ella! Are you done in the loo yet?" Kendelle demanded banging on the door.
"Uh, yeah, just a sec."
"Well, a sec needs to be just a little faster please."
