Shiki put the last piece of his pizza in his mouth, chewed it and looked at Caiden. For a short moment his brown eyes met Caiden’s green eyes, and the British guy winked at him. Why the hell did he do that? Shiki swallowed his pizza and raised an eyebrow at him, but Caiden had already looked away.
  “It would be fun to hear you play sometime”, Caiden said.
  “Yeah, it would be fun hearing you too.”

The party was loud, just like Shiki liked them. He honestly couldn’t remember how many drinks he had had, and it didn’t matter to him. He felt funny, a little dizzy from one too many, but at the same time perfectly fine. As if being almost drunk was the best thing one could be. He didn’t know the music, but it had to be something mainstream American shit. Wait, Umbrella, that’s what the song was called. Not that it mattered to him.
  What mattered was the girl next to him, a really pretty girl with long dark brown hair and a top which showed him a nice cleavage. Shiki wasn’t completely sure about her name, but her friends seemed to call her Cass, and that was better than nothing. He didn’t exactly need to know her name, but it could be good to have something.
  She took a strand of his red hair and twisted it around her fingers with a smile on her lips. “I like it, it’s a cool color”, she said, and looked up to his eyes.
  “Thanks, darling”, he answered with a charming smile back at her.
  Cass let his hair go, and put a hand on his chest instead before she reached up to him. He knew what she was doing, and met her lips for a soft kiss. It was just a short kiss, like trying out each other. Their eyes met again, and he knew from the way she looked at him that she wanted more. And he wasn’t going to say no. When Cass reached up for a second kiss, Shiki put his hands on her waist and kissed her back. It didn’t take long before they were making out, and he had her arms around his neck. Through half closed eyes he could see some guys behind her pointing at them. He could taste sweet alcohol on her lips, but he didn’t care.
  “Come”, she said and pulled away from the kiss, only to take his hand.
  Shiki simply nodded at her, and followed her through the apartment. He honestly didn’t know who lived here, he had only been invited to the party by some friends. But she dragged him out from the living room and down a hallway. Like she knew the place. There she opened a door and pulled him in to the darkness inside a bedroom. As they were alone, she let go of his hand and took of her top.
  “Damn Cass, you’re beautiful”, he said with another one of his charming smiles.
