chapter 3

“Winter I am so glad you could make it, you look so damn sexy girl,” Jason said raising his drink in the air, I had a sneaking suspicion that he was bisexual cos at times he acted like a hormonal guy that wants to be in everyone but then other times he would throw comments on how tight another guy’s jeans were that means he is gay right.

“Hey winter happy birthday” some random guy called out to me and I cocked my head to the side

“Umm, today isn’t my birthday it’s tomorrow but thank you, at least you remembered it is May” the guy blushed in embarrassment and walked away. “God I don’t even know the guy why did he have to get my birthday wrong I feel unimportant” I whispered to Zoë

“Don’t mind him let’s dance” Chloe and Zoë pulled me to the dance floor and we started dancing to the pop music after a while of sober dancing someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around to see Alec smiling down at me

“Thought you said you weren’t coming out tonight”

“Between two of us, I snuck out of the house don’t tell my father”

“Don’t worry” he raised his fingers to his mouth and did the gesture that said my lips are sealed and he threw away the key. I laughed

“Do you want to dance?” he asked

“Let me check if my friends are cool with it first” I looked over my shoulder and they were nowhere to be seen “they are okay with it” Alec and I danced all night he was not a bad dancer he was actually really good I felt like Anastasia you know Cinderella’s sister that kept on stepping on prince charming, I was not stepping on his toes, but his dancing was awesome

“Do you want a drink?”

“I would say yes I want to be sober before my birthday” I said

“Then after we can drink”

“Totally”

12:00

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday to you” everyone sang for me and my two best friends brought in a cake, my hand flew to my mouth in shock, they didn’t even know I was coming to this party they must have gone through a lot of trouble to put this together.

As the party went on people were getting drunker and drunker around me, I wasn’t so sober myself I had a couple of drinks already and I was slightly tipsy I was sure going to have a killing hangover when I got out of bed this morning.

I was still dancing with Alec when something caught my eye. Some guys were making a commotion at the door of the house with one of the guys from my school. The first guy was blonde and the third guy was blonde as well they were probably twins since they looked alike. Now Zoë and Chloe can have different boyfriends that look alike. WAIT WHAT I didn’t even know these guys they didn’t go to our school but the middle guy who looked totally different from the other two looked vaguely familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on where I had seen him before. “Alec; excuse me please,” I said sobering up a little then walking to the door where the three boys were trying to crash the party. Up close I saw the guy’s eyes catch mine and he smiled, I was totally captivated by the gold I saw glimmering in the light like he was using some kind of witchcraft on me. I tried my hardest to break our stare but I couldn’t. Was this guy seriously using his eyes to call me right now? I tried again and again just when I broke it my eyes caught how sexy his physique was. My eyes caught his eyes; there was a hint of a taunting smile.

“Hello I don’t think I know you” I intervened for the guy who was trying to ward the guys away

“Winter are you sure you can handle it I was doing a good job already”

“Were you?”

“Bye” he walked away and I looked at the other gentlemen trying not to look at him again so I would be able to get my words out.

“Who are you guys?” I asked

“I am Xavier these are my friends Jax and Jeremy” so we had one thing in common best friends that were twins fan- freaking- tastic.

“But what are you doing here it is invites only” I looked up at him. Weird his eyes changed color. I guess it was the light from the distance.

“We aren’t here to make any trouble” he pouted and my stomach turned to mush “not going to happen with me pretty boy” the guy who I assumed was Jeremy leaned Xavier and whispered something into his ear, Xavier nodded

“You know it is bad to gossip”

“Gossip? we were not gossiping about you princess, we were just talking, talking about you” but that’s gossip, no that is just talking, gossip is a rumor, I think.

“Do I look like a princess” I touched my head “do you see any tiara”

“You certainly do look like a princess, no let me rephrase that a queen” this guy was acting weird like really weird “can we just come in and enjoy your birthday with you I don’t bite unless you want me to”

“Okay you can come in but stop throwing me sexual innuendos I have a boyfriend”

“That guy” he pointed to Alec who was sitting at the bar with another girl then walked past me. WHAT we hadn’t even started dating and he was cheating on me.

“Wait” I touched the guy’s shoulder and there were real electric shocks that went through me, I shivered and pulled my hand from his body almost immediately

“Dude you shocked me”

“I am perfectly incapable of shocking anyone maybe it’s a sign that you are in love with me” WHAAAAAAAT

“No; no; no I am not in love with you, I wanted to ask you how you knew my birthday was today”

“That is for me to know and you to very soon find out my queen” he winked at me, my eyebrows went up and furrowed together, I do not think I appreciate the meaning behind him calling me HIS QUEEN
