Fresh Air

Stepping outside a cool breeze hit my face, the backyard of the house was still very populated however it was also much more quiet and intimate. People more talking one to one or in close groups, this was the spot you came to not be bothered. It doesn't take long for Amber to come back with drinks, and I take one in my hand. I have no fucking clue what it was but taking a sip I immediately wince at the taste.

"You're not much of a drinker are you?" Amber says smiling at me.

"What gave it away?" I sarcastically respond.

"You're cute"

"Well I try"

"Clearly, now come on lets find a good spot before someone snags it"

Amber leads the way through some people before finding a spot for us to hang out along a planter. I take larger sip of my drink, still wincing from the taste.

"You know you don't have to **** yourself to drink?" Amber said.

"Well I kind of feel obligated you came back with two"

"How do you know they weren't both for me?"

"Yeah, both the drinks for you, the major alcoholic."

"You just met me, I could be a major alcoholic for all you care" she replies.

"Fair"

"Okay so why are you at this party?"

"What do you mean?" I ask back.

"Well clearly you don't know anyone here, doofus"

"That obvious?"

"Yeah, that obvious"

Taking a moment to respond I decide the best course of action would just be to tell her the truth. "I came here with my sister, she said I needed to get out of the house but I found out in the car she just wanted a designated driver. To make a long story short, we got into a fight and she ran off and I'm just stuck here till she wants to leave."

"You make a shitty designated driver," she pokes fun at me trying to lighten the mood.

"Clearly," I respond back taking another sip of my drink, "Why did your friends ditch you?"

Amber sighs, "They went off with their boyfriends and their girlfriends to go to either go to another party or are fucking somewhere around here"

"And why didn't you leave?"

"You really like asking questions, don't you?"

"To be fair, you asked first" I responded back, "Now answer the question"

"I was waiting for my girlfriend," Amber responds.

"Oh you're waiting for another one of your friends"

"No, I mean, GIRLFRIEND"

"Oh you're gay?"

"I'm not gay, I just like men and women, so I guess that makes me bisexual."

"Okay, well when do you think she'll get here"

"I don't know," Claire's smile goes away, "She should of been here by now, but she's kind of ghosting me I guess. Like I text her and say 'when are you going get here' and all I get back is a 'Soon.' Then I ask 'are we finally going to come out as official tonight' and then she responds 'not tonight, I don't want anybody knowing.'" Claire sighs, "Like what's that supposed to mean am I not good enough to be with her, with her; or am I just an easy fuck and a secret."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of asked"

"It's okay, I think I needed to get that off my chest."

"You good" I ask.

"Yeah"

"Good"

"So I have a proposition?" Amber says.

"Lay it on me"

"I don't think I really have a relationship anymore, and I'm bored, so wanna fuck?"
