The crasher (translated)

-Katherina?

I turned myself around when I heard a masculine voice calling my name.

When I did it, my body was like, stuck.

-Ahn.. yea? - I said to Jared, smiling.

Relax, Katherina, he won't kick you out of his cool holiday party. - That you weren't invited to -.

C'mon.. who never crashes into a party with some friends?

Ok. Me.

The guy, the owner's house that the party was happening on, and the owner of the party, tall, blondy, with short hair.. came to talk to me when I was having fun with my girls.

-We haven't met yet. I'm Jared. Nice to meet ya.

-Well.. You already know my name. - I smiled, noticing that the girls were getting away from us. - But huh.. how do you know my name?

-Huh.. I asked a friend that asked another friend. Well, you weren't the only crasher in here, but it was the first one that didn't came to talk to me.

Busted.

-Wow.

I was holding a glass with my drink and drank it all at once.

-Wow.. take it easy!

-It was watter. - he frowned when I said, laughing.

-I sweear! - put my hgands above my head, laughing. - In here you guys only have vodka, beer, Jack Daniels and more Jack Daniels. I was just thirsty. - I schrugled.

-ooh, I see. Don't you drink it all?

-Just wine. - I answered, a little bit embarrassed.

-Really? - I saw his eyes light up a little bit;

-Yep. My dad used to give me beer when I was little and I loved it. Suddenly, I started to enjoy wine a little bit more..

Jared laughed, looking at me.

-You are funny.

-Yea? - I answered more like a question that an answer.

To be honest I wanted to say "yea, I've been told that before", but it would be like: ''yea, I know you want me" and I'm not that kind of girl.. Unless it's about wine. Or shoes.

Whatever.

-Yeah. So.. aren't you enjoying the party?

-Honestly, yes. I'm sorry about coming without an invitation. I feel bad about it.

-Really? Most of the people in here came without one. Are you from Nort High School?

-Yeah! How do you know?

-Yep, another information from my boys. - I raised my brows, surprised.

-If they know the lottery numbers.. I'll be interested on their number.

-If I knew, would you be interested in mine?

-It depends. - I shaked my hair, laughing.

-So.. I have a bad headake right now. - he put his beer cup anove a waiter's tray. - Wouldn't you like to come in?

-Sure.

We walked till the front's house where was a balcony and the entering for the house.

Soon as we stopped at the dor, he looked to his keys and said:

-You know.. Everyone is outside.. there's no one inside. Are you sure you want to come in?

-If you aren't a mutant or a sereal killer...that's ok!

He started to laugh out loud.

-You can't be real, girl.

-Yea, I'm.. but I still can't open doors with my mind, so..- I made a signal for he to open the doors before someone came over here to disturb us.

Jared  laughed once more, shaking his head, and opening the door.

As I thought, we got in trough the living room. I got in carefull, a little bit embarassed.

I stopped at the door, looking that place around.

Ok, his dad was a loyer, I would've thought that hey have money, but not good taste..who knows, right?

I took of my vans - yea, I use them even at parties - and put them on the floor, in a corner.

-What are you doing? - Jared asked me, while closing the door.

-Taking off my shoes?

-Because..

-They're dirty and I don't want to soil your house..?

-Wow, but you are inviting yourself in?

-I just wanted to see your room, but since you said that.. -I got close to him, touching his shirt, just kidding, but I noticed that he was taking it serious trough his face.

-I'm kidding, idiot. - i laughed.

-Oh, Yea.

He smiled, embarrassed and walked in front of me to the house.

-C'mon, I have something to show you.

-Sure.

We got out of the living room and a little distant from it, there were some stairs - really fancy stairs - that was supposed to take us to the next floor, I supposed.

Next to it, there was a bathroom and in the end, the kitchen - I could see - . But he took a different way were there was some stairs that would take us down.

And we finally found a wood door.

He opened ir, slowly, and as soons as we got in, the lights was on. I was behind him, very anxious.

It was a huge cellar.

It has even a lounge in the middle of that millions bottles of wine, with a soffa.

-Oh my God. - I said, looking around while Jared was laying on the door. -I'm in heaven!

-Yea. And I'm your angel. - he said, coming closer and we laughed. - what do you think?

-What do I think? Its.. Its perfect. Im speechless.

-You have a favorite one, or just your dad..

-Nah, I drink it all. But I want to try a new one. What you think?

-As long it is sweet.. I'm ok. - I smiled.

I sat on the soffa while I saw him pick a bottle. He took 2 glasses gave one to me.

-Sorry for asking, but you mentioned the house being empty.. What about your parents?They don't know about the party?

Jared served me and answered:

-My mom passed away last year. - I stopped.

-I'm sorry. I didn't know..

-That's okay. My dad is traveling and.. well, he knows about the party, yes. - he sat on a armchair in front of me, holding his glass up, cheering. - A toast?

-A toast to our good taste for wines. - we cheered, smiling.

-And good company to enjoy them.

I smiled while I tasted it. It was really good.

-If my dad had a cellar like these, everyday I would taste a new wine. - Jared laughed. - I'm serious. It's amazing in here.

-I like in here. My dad made this for my mom, when they move out.

-It's a very personal place for you, I guess?

-No doubt. - he put his glass in the desk, crossing his legs. - I have never brought someone down here.

-What?

-Yea.

-Like I said when I called you.. You were the only one that didn't came to hit on me.

-I'm shy. I couldn't crash into a party and hit on the owner.

-I noticed it. - Jared laughed, looking at me.

I looked to the floor, feeling embarrassed. I've been with a guy before, but I.. I haven't kissed one yet. Yea, I'm a 14 year-old-girl that haven't kissed a boy. He shouldn't know about it.

-So.. you said that this was buildt when your parents move in.. I think you live in here since a long time ago, right?

-Yea, since always. What about you..are you from here?

-Yes. My parents always enjoyed this town weather. Before the divorce they said "let's move in to California and have a lot of kids there".. Instead of, only me was born..tchanann!

We laughed.

-

- I love this song.

It started to play a slowly sdong - Kiss me, from Ed Sheeran. This was my song.

-god, it passed 1am? - he looked into his watch. - Kath, it's passed 1 am!

-God! you got me drunk?

Jared laughed, shaking his head.

-I like to hear you talk.

-I'm a good listener, right? Say I'm a good listener, Jared.

-You are a good listener. - he laughed.

-Okay, thanks. That really conforted my heart.

-My dad used to say "the best companies are the ones that easily can make us laugh"

-Really? - I smiled. - I like that.

-As much as you would like to dance with me? - Jared got up, raising his hand and looking at me, smiling.

My heart went numb. I mean.. we talked for almost 3 hours! He was so cute. I didn't want to say a lost about me and he was really respective about that.

-Not so much. - I frowned and he laughed. - I don't know how to dance. I mean it, Jared. I love this cellar too much to destroy it.

-I can teach you, Katherina.

I love the way he says my name.

-Are you sure? - he scrowled his eyes. - ookay!

I got myself up and before he got my hands, he turned off the lights.

It was when the magic happened.

Inside all of the empty wines was a little light. the room got iluminated in a very special way.

I could only see Jared's silluate.

-Oh, yes.

He raised his hand and I hold it, while I layed on his shoulder. One hand of his was crossed to my and another was laying in my hips.

Before any movement, he whispered in my hear:

-Step on my foot.

-What? - I put myself a little bit away from him, frowning and laughing.

-Relax. Just jump on my foot, ok?

-Ok.

I had already done that a thousand times with my mom while I was dancing with her.

-Yes, that way. - he started to dance really slowly so I didn't lost my balance. I never felt so natural, so good with a guy in my whole life.

-and with this feeling i'll forget,I'm in love now.. Kiss me like you wanna be loved. - I didn't resing and end up singing, leaning against Jared's abdomen.

Bur he slowly stopped and I jumped off his foot.

-As you wish. - He whispered, letting go of my hand and sliding it trough my body.

I guide mine to his neck and in the minute he touched our foreheads, our lips met each other.

And when they did, I felt something inexplicable. I mean, I wasn’t falling in love.. I just met this boy and.. No. It wasn’t posible. It must be a first kiss thing, right?

No doubt, I couldn’t denied that it was worth it waiting all this time to do it. Because it happened in the right place, right time.. and made me feel special.

Our tongues met each other and they soon match each other. It was calm, relaxing and in the music’s rythim.

I sank my fingers into his hair and he squeezed my hips.

Till his phone starts ringing.

But Jared kept kissing me, as nothing was interrupting us.

-Pick up.. – I put together our foreheads, whispering. – It could be important.

-Who’s the mother fucker.. – He scrolled his eyes, catching his phone on his pocket. – Yeah? Ahn.. 

Hey, man. Yep. Aham.. yeah, I came to the cellar. No, im no talone.. Yea. Yes. Man.. A little. Ok, fine. Bye, go home, ok?

Jared as soon as he hang up, he put his phone back on his pocket, and I couldn’t control myself and asked:

-Your cellphone’s really loud and I couldn’t not hear it. I knew you didn’t want to tell that I was the first girl in here, but I heard the surprise on your voice’s friend when you said you weren’t alone in here. Why did you bring me here, Jared?

He came close and put his hands in the back of my neck, smiling.

-Honestly? I like you. And I didn’t notice you just because you were a crasher in my party, I noticed you since the moment you walk in. I was all the time talking to Joshua, the one on the phone, wanting to know more and more about you.. till I finally took the nerve to talk to you.

-The nerv? – I smiled, caressing his hand.

-Oh, Katherina,.. You are beautiful and go to a school that’s really good. What I imagined? That you were the most wanted girl in the school. I got really nervous.

-You are also wanted, you know that, right?

-To a guy is different. It’s rare a girl make him nervous..It’s special.

-And I did?

-In the first couple minutes? Completely. After you started to make me laugh, I was letting my 

nervousness go.. It was akward. My dad was right about the girl that make us laugh.. are the one’s 

that highlight our hearts.

-God. I need to go? – I said looking at my watch, embarrassed. – I said to my mom that I was going to crash in my friends house.. And god! She left!

I said when I looked at my phone and there were 3 messages of Lauren:

“Where are you, gurl?” “Jared is gone too? Hummmm!” “KATHERINA I HAVE TO LEAVE! IF YOU WANT TO STEEL THIS MOUTH’S BOY, CANT BE ANOTHER DAY” and I just got this one:

“My mom came to pick me up and she’s crazy because I was late to call her and having her to pick me! I had to leave. I hope your man take you home! Sorry gurl”

What a friend!

-I imagined. – Jared said. – Everyone’s left.

-how come?

-Because I asked the DJ to play slow songs in the end of the party and..well, I cant’ hear a noise outside. So…

-Can you take me home?

-I crashed my car last month, Kath. You can spend the night in here. – He kissed me. – Please. I can sleep in the living room if you want.

-Are you out of your mind? I came into your house and.. Ok. There’s any other way and I really don’t want to sleep in the street. What if your dad, if he..

-No, it’s ok. He’s going to arrive tomorr.. today in the morning. – He corrected himself because of the time. – Lets go, then?

-I cant believe im doing this.

-I dind’t think it was possible for me to bring a girl downstairs, since the last one was my mom.

-Then I can do this. – Jared laughed, putting his arm on my shoulders.

-I love the sound of your laugh.

-I love the fact that you made me laugh this night more than I laughed in the last 3 months.
