your love spreads like wildfire.

She smiled and opened the door, turning the Tv off before stepping outside. "Hey," she said and nodded in reply, a little bit nervous since this would be her first college party and she wasn't sure how well she would fit in since she only knew Dyland and her roommate Holly. Clara grinned and rubbed her arm, "So how wild do these parties get?" She asked curiously, knowing that college parties were on a whole new level than high school parties and she was right it seemed because when they stopped walking she found them in front of a large house with strobe lights visible from the outside and already a girl puking in the bushes. Eyes a little wide, she scooted closer to Dylan and linked his arm with hers so when they entered they wouldn't find themselves lost or separated from each other.

--

Deric had made sure he looked presentable and even had heated up some of the last chicken fingers he'd found and eaten that since he was pretty hungry as he dressed into some pretty well fitting jeans and another muscle t-shirt he'd found to make him look good. He finished off his chicken fingers and grabbed his keys, not even bothering to attempt and fix his hair before heading out - hoping she didn't get there too early before him. When he got there he grabbed an uncapped beer and looked around before he found her by her blonde hair, dressed stunningly in a blue dress that revealed a little bit more to the figure she his underneath her clothes. He tapped her on the shoulder and smiled. "Missed me, Hails?"

Dylan looked at her and smiled gently. He couldn't tell that she was a little nervous and he wanted her to feel okay. "Hey.." he said gently. "Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." he said as they walked into the party. He looked over at her with a smile on his face. Watching her, he smiled gently. "Do you want a drink or do you want to go dance?" he asked as he held her hand in his own and moved them out of the way of the main entrance. He looked at her as he waited for her to decide. "I know this can be a little overwhelming but it'll be okay." he promised to her.

Hailey looked at him and turned around. She couldn't help but admire him before shaking her heard. Looking up at him, she raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me Hails." she said as she looked at the beer. Knowing that she was taking his drinks, she smiled innocently at him before grabbing it. "Aww, thanks Deric how sweet of you." she said as she took a sip before turning adn walking onto the dancefloor. She began to move her hips to the beat of the music and she kept her eyes locked on his as she licked her lips playfully at him.

She took a secon to get used to the loud house music and shook her head, smiling softly. "It's okay, I'll be fine," she assured him before taking his hand in hers and pulling him towards a large cleared space where a bunch of people were dancing, or pretty much grinding on each other, whatever they were calling it nowadays. "Let's dance," she smiled as she turned around to face him and put one hand around his neck and another flat out against his chest, her body pushed against his since she had led them into the middle of the dancing crowd where people were crowded closely. She but her lip and looked up at him innocently, before she began to actually dance, moving her feet around swaying her hips against his hips in time to the music, sometimes fast, sometimes slow and sometimes not at all.

--

Deric licked his lips, somehow stuck in place to where she ha just been standing a few seconds ago but now she was dancling alone, just teasing him with the way she rolled her hips and shook her body in time to the beating and thumping music. Deric smirked as he followed her out to the dancing floor and yelled so she could hear him above the music. "Well, you sure dont like nicknames, do ya babe?" he asked, before taking a sip of his beer before putting it back in her small hands, grinning devilishly as he did. "Awh, c'mon, Hailey. Where are your manners?" He asked. "You aren't even going to ask me to dance?" he teased as he leaned forward, on arm wrapping around her small little waist before he started moving in sync with her.

(Sorry fell asleep)

Deric smirked as she pulled him onto the dance floor and he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close as they danced. He groaned lowly as her hips brushed against his over and over again. Yep, this girl was going to be the death of him, he decided as he looked down at her and his hands began to move in circles on her hips. He grinned down at her and leaned close to her. "You are quite the little dancer." he said with a smirk on his face as he straightened up after a moment.

Hailey shivered slightly when she felt him touch her as she moved. Looking at him, she smirked lightly. "You have to earn your nicknames." she said. She smirked as he took a sip of his beer again and she took another sip. Looking at him, and smirked lightly. "You just invited yourself Deric." she said as she placed one of her hands on his chest while other, holding the beer, wrapped around his her. She looked up at him for a moment before looking away and began to dance.

Clara grinned as the music changed to some sort of sultry salsa, taking a few steps away from him, her hands still holding on to his fingers. She licked her lips and almost laughed. She probably shouldn't like it so much, but there was a way that he just looked at her like he wanted to eat her up and at the moment she didn't really mind. "I was a ballerina, could you imagine that?" she asked, moving her hips fluidly before twirling and bringing herself back into his arms but this time her back pressed against his chest and when the guitars loudened, she dropped her body low before working her way back up, moving her backside against him, twirling her hips once or twice, before standing again. It was dark, and you could hardly make out a thing except for the occasional strobe light or disco flash that would give you a bit of sight. "How's that for dancing at a party?" she asked, turning around so she was facing him, her hands gripping his hips.

Deric threw his head back and laughed. Hailey was proving to be quite the handful - he could hardly keep up with her, even within the first hours of meeting her. This was new to him, and he had no objection to new - it was good, it was change, and he needed some change in his life without the loss of excitement or anything. "And how do you want me to earn these nicknames," he growled lowly, playfully into her ear just the way she had done to him at the park, his nose brushing against her neck as his warm breathe lingered on her ear, his tongue catching her line for a split second before he let his hand drift towards his chest and continued dancing. With his hands on her sides, he moved to the best until funnily enough, a slower song came on, probably so the drunks could catch their breathe. He pulled he in closer and wrapped an arm around her, one of his hands, holding her back lightly.

Dylan watched her closely. He couldn't even focus on anything but the beautiful dancing girl in front of him. She was absolutely breathtaking, he thought. "yeah," he said. "I can definitely see the ballerina in you." He could barely hold back a groan as she danced up his body. Hearing the song change, he smiled when a slow song came on and he pulled her close. "If you could try not to kill me when you are dancing, that would be great." he whispered in her ear before he pulled away and looked down at her. One hand was on her hip while the other was on the small of her back. "You are keeping up nicely." he said with a smirk.

Hailey looked at him ad couldn't help the soft gasp that escaped her when he came close to her. "I'll know." she whispered softly before looking up at him. He was unlike any other boy she had ever dated and she couldn't deny that she was attracted to him but she didn't know if he was the right guy for her. Probably not, she thought as she bit her lip. The slower song came on and she looked at him with wide eyes as he pulled her to him. She rested her hands on his chest gently. By this time, she had figured that he would have lost interest in her already. She looked anywhere but at him as she moved her hips against his to the beat of the song, which resulted in slow and lasting brushes against him.

She let out a small sigh, laying her head against his chest and tilting it a little so she could still look into his eyes as they slowly swayed to the music. She game him a fake confused look. "You mean don't do this?" she asked, swiveling her hips so that she slowly moved against his hips strongly, while she could hear a couple other people still grinding fastly to a slow song but just after a few movements of her hips against his she stopped and snickered softly. "I am a fast learner, aren't I?" she asked before adding something else. "But you should get me a drink after this slow song ends and stop hiding me away from everybody else - I should mingle after all right?" she teased him for having only danced with her and not doing anything else at the party but secretly she didn't mind very much. Her blood was rushing and her heart was definitely pumping and all without even a drop of alcohol. She could feel his warm hands on her and with her bad judgements and the fact that she hasn't been this close to a guy this intimately since her last boyfriend, she was a little too excited for her liking. Heck, if she was drunk, she'd probably drag Dylan back to her dorm room but she also was still sober, if not clouded with lust, and knew that as enticing as sleeping with him sounded, she would run the risk of losing him as a friend.

--

He thought salvation would come when the slow song started playing but lord was he wrong. If seeing her dancing in her snug little outfit had been bad, having her dance against him was worse, and the slow dancing that they were doing now was the worst out of everything. If his pants hadn't been right before, they definitely were now and he could feel himself twitching with every turn of Hailey's hips. "God almighty," he murmured and shook his head. This girl was really testing him. "You should really stop that before you find something uncomfortable between my legs," he warned her, a playful time in his voice but quite serious. As muh as he liked her, he was still a guy with raging hormones and with a girl grinding on him he would no doubt get a boner or some shit. Shit, dudes got boners from the most simplest things! He was glad he had enough self control to not rip the girls clothes off at the nearest closet, with her willing consent of course. But Deric moved his palm to the curve below her hips, and buried his face into her neck so that she wouldn't see the somewhat pained and blissful look on his face with her continuous movements.

Dylan looked down at her with a smirk on his face. "Youa re quite the fast learner." he said as he pulled her close and placed a ghost of a kiss on her neck. "But so I am." he said as he pulled away with a mischievious look on his face. He looked around and shrugged. "Sure, hey," he said as a smile spread across his face. "You can come meet my best friend." he said as he looked down at her happily before straightening up slightly. "You keep this up and I might very well hide you in my bed tonight." he said as he looked down at her with a hungry expression on his face. His eyes darkened slightly in lust as she moved against him again.

Hailey couldn't help but savor the effect she was having on him for a moment before she stepped away gently. Her hand left his chest and ran up his back as she rubbed his neck gently, playing lightly with the hair there. "Awww, I won't torture you anymore." she said playfully as she moved so as she dance, her body no long touched his except for his head on her neck and her hand on his. She couldn't help but shiver at the feeling of his breath on her skin and goosebumps ran up her body. Biting her lip gently, she took the last sip of the beer and looked around for somewhere to throw the empty bottle. She didn't realize it but she had continued massaging his neck.

"The one you were talking about before? I'd love to meet him," she grinned ecstatically before she felt the ghost of his lips brush against her neck, causing her lips to part slightly and her fingers to hold on to him even tighter than before. She pressed her chest to his and held still for a while as she felt his warm breathe caress her skin. Payback was a bitch so she decided to stop being such a tease, for now anyways. "Sounds like fun," she teased at his little threat of hiding her, "but wine me and dine me first, y'know? Hope your familiar with the dating concept," she snickered, patting his chest with her hand before taking a step back and moving a little away from the throng of the people dancing around. Still holding Dylan's hand, she went to a table where she went for some beers, popped it and handed it to Dylan before keeping one to himself. With a cold beer in hand, she found his hand once again and went back to his side.

--

When her body stepped at least a few inches away, he debated grabbing her and pushing his body back against hers in a harsh collision but he preferred not to think with his dick, plus, her hand crept up his back and started kneading the tense knots on the back of his neck and where it met at the very top of his shoulders. He let out a breathless little sigh, eyes fluttering since she felt like a professional massagist although she was doing it in the middle if a dance floor. But you wouldn't see him complaining. Feeling rather than seeing her head turn and swivel, he opened his previously half-closed eyes and saw her awkwardly searching for a place to put down the empty beer bottle. "Here," he murmured into her ear and took the bottle, keeping her at an arms length away, hand at the dip of her spine as Deric stuck out his tinge to the side and aimed before throwing the bottle over a couple of dazed and drunken heads and into a little trash can where the bottle had made a clink sound. He grinned victoriously and turned back to Hailey.

Dylan looked at her and smirked. "You are quite the smartness." He said as he followed her to the table. Taking the beer, he smirked lightly and took a sip. "Thanks." Looking down at her, he took the beer from her and set it down. "As much as I think it is a good idea for you to have a beer. I don't want you to get in trouble on your first night out." He said gently. Looking around, he grinned and pulled her close. "Come on, time to meet my friend." He walked over to where he saw Deric apparently staring at some girl. He clapped him on the shoulder. "Deric!" He yelled over the music before pulling her close to him. "This is Clara. The girl i was telling you about." He said in form of introduction.

Hailey looked at him and smirked before clapping her hands together. "That was pretty awesome." She said as she looked at him. She blushed lightly and looked away before glancing up again when she was Dylan and a girl heading toward them. Dylan introduced the girl to Deric but seemed to kind of ignore her so she decided that this was her moment to somewhat sneak off but she couldn't he herself as she glanced at the other girl. She was goegeous, she thought and much more Dylan and Deric's type. Beautiful and smart and probably a little fiesty, not like Hailey who was just fps art and apparently fiesty around Deric. Turning, she began to walk off the dancefloor, her mind thinking about what she was going to do when she got home.

"How else did I get into this school?" she teased before she felt the bottle being taken away from her, she pouted. She laced her hand with Dylan so it would be easier for him to pull her through the crowd of people dancing around. When he finally stopped in a spot by a couple of couches on the far side and near a patio but still where there were a bunch of people, she bit down on her lip, hesitantly smiling when he pulled her close. Since she was by his side, she rested her head against Dylan's side. "Hey, I'm Clara. nice to meet ya!" she yelled loudly to be heard over the thick beat of the music. "Your uh, girl just left," she pointed out to him, seeing a cute girl who'd been by his side quietly slink away. She wasn't sure why but she gave a little shrug before waving before he left to go after the girl it seemed. It looked like they were together so she just smile since Deric seemed like a good boyfriend although she saw the curious look Dylan was giving his best friend.

Deric heard his best friend's voice so he turned around and smirked, seeing the girl that was attached by his side. He could see the way his friend smirked and he laughed giving the girl a nod, "Pleasure's all mine," he said giving the girl a playful wink. He wasn't really flirting with Clara, it was just his friendly nature and it was hard to get rid of. He wasn't trying to take her from Dylan either because its always bros over hoes but he hadn't even noticed that Hailey had run away until Clara pointed it out to him. He looked around him, confused because with the crowd of people around him, it was hard to see that Hailey had left. "Hey, I'll see you later or not," he added, smirking since who knows? Dylan had been talking about watching over Clara but had complained how she hadn't been so hot but since that obviously had changed Sylan probably wanted to bed her. He grabbed another beer and chugged it quickly, throwing it away before trying to find Hailey when he did, he touched her arm lightly since she wasn't facing him. "Hey, what happened - did you need to leave?" he asked, concerned more than he would be over any girl. He just felt like he hasn't done anything wrong so why had she run away from him again?

Dylan watched as Deric left to go after the girl he was with, Hailey he thought her name was. He chuckled softly and looked over at Clara. "That would be my best friend." He said as he watched Deric go after the girl. "So what would you like to do now?" He asked as he turned so his arms were wrapped around her waist and she was facing him. He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked slightly as he watched her. Reaching around her, he grabbed a beer and began to drink or before looking at her and winking teasingly at her. "Sorry no drinking for the under aged tonight." He said as he grinned at her.

Hailey walked around the party some more and sighed softly. Why doesn't she just go, she thought as she ran her fingers through her hair. Because she hoped to see Deric one more time, she thought hopelessly. She felt someone touch her shoulder and she turned. Biting her lip, she could barely keep the grin off her face at the fact that he had looked for and found her. "I um...I didn't think you would want the nerdy girl around when you were talking to your friends." She said as a blush blossomed on her cheeks. She now realized how shallow that sounded.

"Welllll," she pretended to think as she puckered up her lips and put her finger on her chin, tapping it. "Can we go outside and drink some beer? You haven't let me have a sip all night," she pouted. "And I'm sure if I'm with you, I wouldn't do anything too bad, though I might not be able to stop myself from doing some things," she smirked as she took her hand and trailed it over his stomach, where she could see the outline of his muscles even in the dark. He looked good in the v-neck, especially with the way the fabric clung to his body and showed that he definitely put in some work to his appearance which was always nice, although she was not very shallow. She just liked to admire the fruits of labor, and why not? But she was feeling way too sober for this party; everyone else around her were out of their minds wild with liquor. She didn't want to tire herself out and dance more but she kind of wanted to just go sit outside and admire the stars with a cold bottle in her hands.

He gave her a bewildered look. "Where did that even come from?" he laughed, honestly not expecting that from her. Hailey didn't seem like the quiet nerdy type. Maybe on the outside, maybe at first when he had met her just this morning but she had been quirky and flirty, and not so hard on the eyes either. "Don't be silly," he chided her gently, and grinned when he saw the light pink haze on her cheeks. "Meeting you was nice today, and even if you were like a hobbit or something I dunno, I'd still probably introduce you to my friends .... but you don't have to worry about that, because you're a solid babe," he comforted her. To be honest, he really didn't bother to introduce a lot of girls to Dylan but the last part of his sentence was true. Hailey was beautiful, the kind where you'd instantly want to love her down but there was just a look about her that said you could take her home to meet the parents and that showed she was the kind of girl to care more about things that mattered than who slept with who or who was best dressed, it was just something deric could sense in Hailey and he liked it. He was a good judge of character and he was trusting himself with this one.

Dylan looked at her and chuckled at her flirting. "Hey, I'm not worried about what you would do if you had a beer." He wrapped his hand gently around her wrist and pulled her tight against his body. "I'm worried about what I would do to you." He winked at her and leaned down. He pressed a kiss to her cheek before letting her go. "You want a beer?" He asked as he motioned to the cooler. "Be my guest." He figured that he wasn't going to win this fight so letting her have one shouldn't be too bad. Taking a sip of his beer, he watched he curiously for a moment.

Hailey couldn't help but laugh. "A hobbit?" She teased with a grin. "That is your go to weird thing a hobbit?" She grinned at him before shaking her head. "Who knew the famous Deric watched Lord of the Rings." She turned and picked up the beer she had been nursing. Looking up at him, she smiled softly and bit her lip gently. "Why are you staring at me?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow. She couldn't help but look away and blush again when he called her a total babe. "Whatever." She mumbled softly.

Clara grinned in victory, licking her lips before grabbing an icy cold bottle and uncapping it before taking a swig. She smacked her lips and relished the taste since she had been thirsty and wanting a beer for a while. She wasn't that much of a light weight though so she wasn't too worried. With the already half-empty bottle still in her hands she settled back in her hands and looked up at Dylan. "Ha, I win," she grinned at the fact that he had tried to stop her from drinking for so long but eventually she had gotten what she wanted. "But it's okay, I'll give you a consolation prize if you want," she added jokingly with a small little wink since he had only been looking out after her when he had tried to get her to not grab a beer or other alcoholic beverage. That and he probably didn't want to carry her if she chose to get completely wasted.

--

He gave her a look. "There ya go again!" he scolded her playfully. "For your information I am intelligent and I think Lord of the Rings is fucking beast!" he laughed with a shrug of his shoulders. He even remembered reading the book when he was in eighth grade and loving it so much. He watched her smile softly and he grinned in triumph since he had been able to be the one that got to make her smile the way that she was right now. "Nothing, I just don't know how you could think that you're not beautiful," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. Some girls complained about self-esteem issues and things like that but even in a day of knowing Hailey, he knew that the girl had her quirks but was still beautiful and smart. She didn't have trouble keeping up with him and catching his references - half the girls he dated didn't know who Gandalf was and that had always irritated him, though he didn't always use Lord of the Rings to determine which girls were girlfriend material or not.

Dylan looked at her for a moment with a raised eyebrow. "Hey, I would take it easy on the whole drinking. This stuff is a lot stronger than your little high school parties and now I don't care how hot you are, I will not hold your hair while you puke in the bathroom." He said as he watched her. Smirking down at her, he whispered in her ear, "I'm going to hold you to that consolation prize." He pulled her right to his body before pulling her away from the stinks and going out onto the porch. It was the back that overlooked an okay sized backyard. Looking over at her, he tucked a pure if hair behind her ear. "Jeez, you are gorgeous." He said sincerity dripping from his voice.

Hailey looked at him and smiled softly. "Lord of the Rings is beast." She said confidently. Looking him up and down, she took another sip of beer. She wasn't drunk but there was a slight buzz, just enough to know that she wanted to do this. Biting her lip gently, she watched him closely for a few moment before she took a step closer to him. Putting her hands on his chest, she felt his muscles underneath his shirt. Leaning up, she looked at him for a moment, her lips less than a centimeter from his. She could feel his breath on her lips. One more second passed before she kissed him.

She didn't feel dizzy or even drunk but she could feel a slight buzz building up so she slowed down like dylan suggested. "All right, I'll take your advice," Clara grinned. she sat on the steps of the porch and looked behind her, waiting for Dylan to do the same. she was a little startled when he was so close to her, and maybe it was the alcohol in her system but did she actually hear sincerity in his voice? she blushed and looked down before leaning against his side. When she looked up, she smiled widely and shrugged. "I guess you're not too bad yourself," she joked. "no, you're actually a twelve on my scale, but we'll keep that to ourselves, yeah?" she playfully told him. He really had everything she ever wanted. yeah, he was a party boy but she did find herself attracted to a bad boy from time to time. She kissed the corner of his lips, teasingly and then kissed his cheek. "But I've always thought you were cute, even when you stole my toys and hid them in your tree house,' she giggled, remembering the memory. Their dads used to make them play together while they watched football, soccer or played cards together.

"Wow, you're going to be my wife and we're going to watch Lord of the Rings movies all day,' he declared, not even faltering a little bit. for all the girls he had hooked up with and dated, and what not, not many of them understood his 'childish' obsession with Lord of the rings or his Dc/marvel comic books. Almost none of them liked the TV shows that he watched like grim, supernatural, criminal minds, etc. he had good taste, he liked to think in what he watched and read but it was rare that the girls he chose thought the same thing. occasionally he found a girl who had it all, looks, books and personality, and Hailey seemed to be the topping on all of the other girls. Plus, the way she looked at him did odd things to his stomach, things he didn't feel often. he didn't hesitate when he pressed his lips back on hers, tilting his head for better access and brushing the hairs on the back of her neck as he held her head gently, fingers brushing against her jawline. He pulled away finally, a little breath taken and looked at her before shaking his head. "And you must be drunk off your ass," he laughed but pecked her lips once again and started leading her outside. he felt that she needed some fresh air.

Dylan wrapped his arms around her waist as she kissed the corner of his mouth and his cheek. He groaned as he felt her soft lips on his skin. Looking down at her, he chuckled softly. "The it reason I took your toys was because I wanted the pretty girl to stop playing with them and to come play with me." He told her honestly as he cupped her cheek. "You were pretty the , now you are absolutely breathtaking." He told her honestly as he watched her. He wanted nothing more than to kiss her but he didn't want her to think he was pushing her or something like that. Watching her, his eyes traced over her features as he memorized her. She was gorgeous, he thought. "You Ryan are unlike anyone I have ever met before." He told her.

---

Hailey looked up at him as he led her out and when they got outside, she shivered. Wrapping her arms around herself she looked up at him. "We are going to get married? You haven't even known me for a day." She teased as she rubbed her arms. Biting her lip, she rolled her eyes at him. "I am not that drunk." She said. "I'm fine." She said before she moved to the corner of the porch and leaned against the wall. It was a little more private. Looking over at him, she waited for him to come. He was very handsome, she thought as she shivered again and bit her lip. Letting her eyes trail over his body, she took the time he was walking over to check him out.

( Ryan? Her name's Clara lol. )

She giggled and blushed at his words, feeling a little satsifaction when she heard the groan leave his lips - she liked knowing that she had that impact on him, because she definitely felt that way now. He needed to stop saying those sweet things in that deep voice because she might just pull him into her dorm room and christen it. She licked her lips and looked up innocently at him. "Well, I can play with you now to make up for lost time. My toys get boring after a while," she giggled, since she had been implying something other than just playing with the dolls that she used to play with and such. She lay on his chest since they were still standing outside and put her hands around his neck, willing him to take the hint and kiss her as fervently as she wanted him to.

--

He didn't even falter when she playfully doubted him wanting to get married. He rolled his eyes t her. "All right maybe I'm jumping the gun a little. But maybe you would want to go on a date with me soon? We can hang out first if you think that's too soon," he added, not wanting to take things to soon even though he had been joking with the marriage thing, although it'd be funny if he bought her a ring pop or a licorice ring or something of the sort. He followed after her when she moved over fo the corner, looking around and enjoying the way the porch lights were dimmed allowing for them to be alone but still enjoy the scenery of the campus.
