Only from a distance.

[Mariah's POV]

Chapter Thirty -

Mariah.

This isn't too bad. This is new. This is different. This is fantastic.

I ran my fingers through my hair as sweat ran down my forehead.
Brookelle laughed and said, "Working up a sweat already?"
I nodded and smiled a real smile.
The song faded into Spending All My Time by Aaron Fresh.
Brookelle interwined her hands into mine and we began dancing together. A few random girls joined us.
I was having way too much fun when my eyes locked with Brian's.
He winked and nodded. I noticed that he was holding two drinks. I left the dancing and walked to him.
"Having fun?" He asked.
"This is the first party I've ever been to."
"Seriously?"
"Well, I've been to those ritsy parties, but that's nothing compared to this."
He smiled. "Uh, I got you a drink."
"Thanks." I took one sip and my chest burned. The burning was probably the best feeling I've ever felt.
I had finished off thirteen beers before I knew it.
I couldn't stop laughing.
The next thing I knew, I was ontop of a guy's shoulders.
I couldn't control myself.

And yet, the most beautiful part was that there wasn't any control.
