A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 62

"For what?" I questioned. Xander's eyes also slowly opened and he looked down into my own when answering.

"To start building the rest of our lives." Xander answered and I couldn't agree more.

*Paisley's POV*

The music was thumping so loudly in the house that I could feel the vibrations in the ground. The smell of alcohol was strong in the air and the many, many people drinking the liquid were stumbling around crazily. The party was in full swing and as I stood outside observing it with my friends by my side I was beginning to wish that we had all decided to stay home instead.

Its not that I don't like parties, because trust me I do, it's just that the last time I went to a party I ended up with a nasty hickey and an even more confused heart. I sighed as these thoughts came to my mind and quickly pushed them away when I felt a warm hand slip into my own. I smiled up at Xander and allowed him to lead me into the house.

With our friends close behind Xander skillfully weaved through the crowd, pulling me along with him. The only reason that I had agreed to come to this party is because of Xander. He really wanted to come, his reason being that every person should end their graduation night with a wild party. I had rolled my eyes when he said that but agreed to come anyways.

After we had finished up stuff at the school Xander had quickly run me home so I could change out of my pretty, flowing dress and into something more party appropriate, skinny jeans, a nice shirt and my black heals. Xander didn't even bother changing out of the clothes that he had on underneath his graduation robe.

Multiple people greeted us as we made our way through the large, sweaty crowd. We smiled in return and tried our best to answer them over the loud music. It was slightly less crowded in the kitchen which was a great relief seeing as I could hardly breath in the living room.

"Do you want a drink Angel?" Xander questioned as we stopped at the alcohol packed counter. I bit my lip and was about to say no when I decided that I might as well have some fun tonight. I simply nodded my head and accepted the red cup that my mate handed me soon after.

Our dancing wasn't out of control like most of the others in the room was but it was fast paced and fun. As the song changed and a slower beat filled the room a smile lit up my face when Xander wrapped his arms around my waist and tugged me closer to him. My hands found their way to his neck and I began to play with the hair that tickled the bottom of his neck.

We were the only people who were slow dancing, my peers were still dancing like wild animals, but we didn't care. I sighed happily and rested my head on Xanders shoulder while he softy ran a hand up and down my back. The song was over far to quickly and with a sigh Xander and I pulled apart. Over his shoulder I saw Lela and Perrie making their way towards us. I smiled at them and looked up when Xander touched my cheek.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I nodded my head at him and watched as he quickly made his way through the crowd and up the large staircase.

"Hey!" Perrie greeted me when her and Lela finally reached me. I smiled and returned the hug that she had pulled me into.
