Baby I'm A Sinner novel Chapter 49

By the time the clock turned seven, I was getting dressed in the bathroom, right after I purged everything I'd eaten that day just a few minutes earlier.

I dressed up in a jean skirt, a crop top, some cross tights and my blue Vans, before I put on my jacket and texted Luke that I was ready for him to come and pick me up.

As I checked my hair in the mirror downstairs, my mom started interrogating me about where I was going and with whom. As soon as she heard Luke's name her face spread out in a giant smile and she started praising him like he was the best human being on earth.

I had no idea why she always idolized him; I guess it was just one of her typical cougar outbursts, where she'd compliment every single good-looking guy she knew.

Luke stopped the car in front of my house. It was a black Toyota, the one his father owned, and I could see Sean in the back with Kylie, smiling at me.

"I'll be back tomorrow, you don't have to come pick me up."

"Alright. Your father and I are leaving for a party anyway, and Jade's going at a friends', so take your keys with you."

"Thanks." I smiled and she nodded, before I took the keys, put it in the pocket of my jacket, and finally left the house.

Luke was tapping his fingers against the steering wheel in the rhythm of the David Guetta song that was playing on the radio when I got in the car.

"Hi." I greeted and he smiled, leaning over to kiss me before actually greeting me.

"Hey babe."

Sean and Kylie also greeted me, and then Kylie began talking about some makeup he saw at Mac, and I zoned out, staring right ahead after I put my seatbelt on.

Their parents' lodge was about an hour away from my house, which wasn't really that convenient but still.

The ride there was okay; Kylie was occasionally making idle chat with me, Luke would lean over and kiss my cheek from time to time, and even Sean asked me a couple of questions about myself.

If I didn't know better, I'd have said they're up to something. But I brushed off the feeling as I continued chatting with Kylie, Sean, and Luke. We got there soon enough, and I wasn't even surprised to see that the lodge was huge.

It was built out of wood and it had a giant back yard with a small playground, a gazebo, and a grill. I knew we wouldn't be using any of it though, because it was really cold outside and they probably wanted to drink and get high anyway.

The inside was luxurious; the small hallway led either to the stairs or the living room, which then led to the kitchen.

I took off my jacket and hung it up by the door, before I followed them over to the living room. I sat down on a loveseat next to Luke, who put his arm around me.

Kylie took a seat on the couch across from us, while Sean walked to the cupboards and opened them.

"Who wants to do some shots?" he asked as he took out a bottle of Jägermeister and four shot glasses.

"Me!" Kylie said excited and Luke also agreed.

"Dani?"

"Um...I'm not really in the mood for it."

"Of course you are babe! Come on, just a shot." Luke said and pouted at me.

I sighed. "Ugh, fine. Just one."

"And a joint."

"I can't drink and also smoke weed. I'll get sick."

"I've done it before, you'll be alright." Kylie assured me and winked, just as Sean came over and kneeled down at the table to pour a round of four shots. I hated Jäger with a passion, but what was I supposed to do?

"Alright."

Sean gave each one of us our shots, before he sat down right by the table and held up his glass.

"To a night full of surprises." He said cryptically before he winked at Luke.

"Cheers." Luke added, and then all of us downed the shots.

My throat burned, and I felt like I was about to throw up since my stomach had just been emptied two hours ago. Sean's face didn't even flinch as he downed another right after, then sat down next to his girlfriend.

"How about we play truth or dare?" Kylie suggested excited, a bit later, when everyone had three shots (Sean had five), and Luke was just lighting up a joint that I wanted no part in.

Sean took a drag and let it out in Kylie's face, before agreeing with her idea.

"Mmm. This is really good bro." Sean told Luke, who smirked. "Best one you've ever given me."

"Holy shit." I said when I saw everything. There were bright neons on the ceiling and the temperature wasn't cold, nor hot.

"I assume your parents don't know about this."

"They don't." Luke laughed, brushing his hand over a couple of leafs. "They don't have a key to the basement and they don't even come here often. We mainly use this lodge for parties and such."

"Oh. Cool."

"So you don't have a problem with this?" he asked me once we were back upstairs into the living room.

"Why would I have a problem with it? As long as you're careful it's okay."

Luke smiled and leaned over to kiss me.

The truth or dare idea had been long forgotten when Sean started snogging Kylie into the couch. Luke turned his head to look at me for a moment, before he leaned over and we started kissing too.

I didn't mind it at first, not even when he pushed me on my back against the armrest, but the moment he slipped his hand under my dress, I stopped him.

"What are you doing?" I asked against his lips, turning my head to look at Sean and Kylie, who were now staring at us.

"Don't you think you should lose your virginity before you turn eighteen?" he asked and I felt my heart clenching.

"Yeah, but definitely not here."

"Then let's go upstairs."

"Is this why you brought me here?"

He sighed.

"Excuse me. I have to go the bathroom."

"Upstairs, first on the left." He mumbled and I sat up before I rushed upstairs, trying to reach the bathroom before my makeup would become a mess.
