Nova's Erotic Rebellion

I tossed and turned in my seat. I was staring at the crowd ahead of me and I couldn't help but watch them. They were walking around, laughing, talking, getting some food from the buffet table.

I looked at my watch and it was only 20 minutes since the party started. Wow, we must be quite boring if it's 20 minutes for that one guy to get himself a drink.

I looked above the crowd and saw through a glass window with an image of the city skyline behind it to the other side. It was breathtaking.

"Hey, you like our view?" asked someone who obviously didn't feel needed to announce himself first on this occasion.

I looked over my shoulder and saw him standing right next to me, looking right through the window too. He had his hands folded in front of him as he observed the beautiful scenery while I had mine crossed on top of the table with a frown on my face.

He was good looking with fair skin and brown eyes and hair while I had more olive skin than fair skin, brown eyes and black hair. We looked nothing alike but I guess we both got our looks from our different parents in one way or another because no one would ever mistake us for siblings.

"Yeah," he said after he turned back to look at me with a smile on his face that reached his eyes. "It's nice." The tone of his voice matched his smile; warm and genuine, very pleasant to listen to.

"Thanks," I replied shortly with an even shorter tone than his response had been and then turned back to face forward again.

He sighed as if he understood something about what I'd just said before he rejoined me by sitting down in the chair next to mine and in doing so made me turn towards him again because we were now eye level with each other instead of him having to look up at me as he stood behind me earlier.

"So..." he said obviously trying to break the silence between us. "You here with your girlfriend?" His question almost sounded like a joke as he emphasised 'girlfriend' and 'here' but he wasn't smiling when saying it so maybe he really didn't know that was not a funny question at all.

I simply shook my head quickly without looking at him though because I did not want to talk about that subject tonight or any other night for that matter since it always ended up bad for me every time someone asked about her in front of me anymore or thinking she was my girlfriend for that matter, even worse when they thought we were married! How could anyone think that? Why would anyone think that? And why did people keep telling me they thought she was my girlfriend when they clearly knew her? That just made it worse!

We fell silent again after that short exchange so I just sat there fuming quietly while still keeping an eye on what people were doing around me until finally someone else walked up beside us again making me turn towards them this time instead of them having to sit down next to us like the previous guy did.

It was a girl but unfortunately she wasn't alone so I could only see her from behind as she introduced herself to my new companion first before she left us alone again when she introduced herself as 'Liz' which gave away her identity immediately afterwards since there was only one 'Liz' among all those teenagers at this party whose name began with L...

And then it hit me how bad it would be if my little sister suddenly came over here with her friends or even alone now if Liz would tell her about this conversation or anything else happening between us tonight before or after this introduction! She would blow up at me when she realised how embarrassing this whole situation would be for her otherwise! Or even worse: She'd find out later on tonight during her sleepover which would mean she'd have all night long thinking over this terrible experience today! She'd never live it down! She already hated being seen by strangers as much as possible whenever we went out together but now? This? Her whole life ruined because of this? *Oh god* That would be awful! Horrible! Just... *NO!* ...

"What are you thinking about?" The guy suddenly asked making me realise why I suddenly felt so nauseous all of a sudden and realising that maybe it wouldn't have been such a good idea to let those thoughts occupy my mind for so long without doing anything about them beforehand...

"Nothing," I replied shortly without turning back towards him since that response had become kind of second nature after all these years where his sister had put me in similar situations unfavourably whenever she hadn't known something better yet or had forgotten something important but most importantly hadn't done anything about these things even after knowing them either! So instead, I simply turned back towards the crowd once again praying for another distraction from these thoughts before something happened...or someone came...or she arrived... **No** ... **Stay away** ... **Please** ... **Let's not make a big deal out of this birthday party today** ... **Please don't ruin my day like you've already ruined everyone else's day today** ... **Please don't embarrass yourself today like you've embarrassed everyone else today** ... **Just go home** ... **Go home** ... **Please go home** ... **Please ignore Liz's warning** ... **Please don't embarrass yourself today** ... **Not right now** ... **Not here** ... **Not *now*... Not *now*... Not *now*... Not *now*... Not *NOW!!!*"
