-KITTENS CAN'T SWIM-

Francine's POV

I've never seen such a big house like this in my whole life, well of course Thorn's house are much bigger than this.

Speaking of the devil, I didn't know where'd he went because after Kyle dropped us off the house he quickly walked away leaving me alone and wondering inside this big house like a cave man or should I say cave girl.

Indeed it's a pool party because all the girls are wearing two piece and bikinis and some of them are barely covering their bodies, the boys are half naked and some of them wears only boxer, some are swimming trunks. I'm like an outcast in this house full of rich and liberated classy kids.

I was watching the scene silently when a hand grabbed my arm and started to dragged me. I was about to scream but I choose to turn my head to the owner of the hand that's been gripping my arm lightly only to find Kyle in his swimming trunks, his well toned back is facing me and the muscles reflexed everytime he make a move.

We stopped at a not so small cottage filled with 6 peoples that's busy chatting, making out and drinking around. They're too busy to noticed us until Kyle broke in and made me sat beside him and an unknown man that I didn't bother to look at because I'm feeling so shy now. I can feel all their eyes are on me.

"Where'd you go?" I looked up to find Thorn, sitting on a bench with a girl on his lap straddling him and kissing his neck while he looked at me emotionless. Disgusting.

'Why do you care? Besides, you left me alone and now you're asking where did I go? while a monkey is raping you and you're enjoying every moment of it.' I wanna shout that words at him but I choose to remain silent to avoid any argument. I just wanna enjoy myself tonight.

"You know her?" The girl on his lap spoke using her annoying high pitched voice, her face was caked with make up and her lips are bloody red. She's wearing a two piece and it almost covered her overly big boobs which I think is fake and his bubble butt which of course I think that it's a fake one too, I mean I'm not being judgmental here but it's impossible for a human to have that big boobs and butt. It's just unbelievable.

"Yeah, uh..she's my..step sister." He spoke while looking straight at me, anger is evident in his tone.

I heard the girl said 'cheap' underneath her breath and I mentally rolled my eyes at her.

"Nevermind her." Kyle whispered in my ear that made me blushed, God..his breath is so warm and It smells like mint and alcohol.

"Well, let me introduce you to my friends." He looked at them then clapped his hands earning their attention and I felt my shyness doubled when some of them eyed me up, specially the girls.

"Guys, everyone. This is Francine, Thorn's stepsister as he said a while ago and be nice to her because she'll be my new friend.", Then he winked at me that made me blushed even more.

He pointed the guy with a blonde hair. "This is Bruce, our best friend and beside him is Anne."
He leaned in and whispered." His one night stand for tonight". I smiled at them and Bruce gladly smiled back at me and Anne just raised her eyebrow on me.
A bitch.

He then proceeded on the unknown guy beside me. "He's Chase, Thorn's cousin and also our best friend."
I looked at Chase and he's looking down at me intently. He has an ash brown ruffled hair that made him more attractive and his bare chest is showing off his muscles and hard rock toned abs.I felt like shrinking because I swear..I felt chills run down my spine when he smirked at me before leaning down to kiss the back of my hand and I felt my cheeks turned hot, oh god! I'm blushing..this is so embarrassing. He caught me off guard there.

As he pulled away, he simply whispered, "Pleasure to meet you sweetie."

Kyle continued to introduce me to everyone like he said. And I learned from him that the girls name on Thorn's lap is Jessica and the other one sitting beside Chase is Stef, her friends.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

We've been here for hours and almost all of them are wasted.

Bruce and Anne are already gone and Kyle told me that they're already doing the god knows what it is, and Kyle just basically flirting with Stef.

While Jessica and Thorn are making out on the pool, their kissing each other as if there's no tomorrow..they might end up eating each other if that goes on.

I giggled on my own thought when a deep voice startled me from behind causing me to jump out of my seat.

"You seemed happy." Chase accused as he sits beside my chair that I soon followed.
"N-not really..I mean yes, I guess"..I'm not sure on what to answer, gosh I'm so nervous right now. I'm sure if someone sees me in this state they will laugh at me.

He chuckled then turned his eyes on me while holding a bottle of beer on his hand. "How old are you Francine?"

"20.. turning 21 next month." I twirled my hair using my finger out of nervousness. I don't know why I do this when I'm nervous, I guess it's a habit of mine..a bad habit I think. "And..you?"

"26, same age as Thorn. So are you like, living on their house now?" I nodded my head slowly while looking at my fingers as if they are suddenly interesting.
"Not yet, I mean o-our things aren't there yet but mom just called me a while ago saying that our things have been delivered to their house so, yes I'm living on their house now and maybe I'll unpack my things once I get home."

"I see.. actually I heard from Mom that uncle Matthew will gonna marry a girl. I didn't know she has a daughter tho." I stayed silent until I saw a bottle of beer in front of my face.

"Take a sip." He smiled at me brightly, his eyes are focused on me as if I'm the most interesting thing in this room.

"No thanks..I-I don't drink." He nodded his head in disappointment but then again a smile appeared on his lips making my cheeks burn.

"Can we swim then? Because this beer is making my body hot already I mean not that hot okay.." he chuckled then rubbed the back of his head while his face is slowly turning red. "What I mean is I need a cold water."

I giggled and was about to agree when an icy voice killed the happiness that's starting to grow inside me.

"Kittens can't swim, Chase." I shot a glare at him, feeling annoyed as he ignored it and took a sip from his beer with his girl that's hanging on his neck like a monkey.

He finally looked down at me and his lips slowly started to form into an annoying smirk.

God knows how much I wanted to erase that smirk on his assface.
