Thread: Chasing the High || Hikari-Koroki & PressHeart

Everything seemed to be happening at the speed of light, and Lauren was having a hard time keeping up. As soon as Zak had lost himself in his own personalized high the newest member of the group turned to her, offering his has and his real name. Not wanting to be rude, despite still being a little uncomfortable, the blonde reached out and took his hand. The grip was loose, and hesitant, but the smile she offered him was warm and genuine. It wasnt long that she could hold his gaze though, her eyes falling to vial being rolled around on the table. Maci seemed to return at the perfect time to make assumptions, actually sounding jealous about what might be happening. Lauren understood none of the terminology, feeling like a small fish in a big pond. Still, the peer pressure currently surrounding her was starting to work. After all, she was with her friends, and they certainly wouldnt let anything horrible happen to her. When she turned to look at El again, she found herself questioning her memory for a moment. Those eyes which had once been a vibrant orange seemed to have settled into a much cooler and calming green. It was hard to deny that the man was attractive, although not the type she usually went for. Which made him all the more intriguing, not that she would ever admit that to herself. I...I dont know Maci let out a sigh as her hand ran up onto the blondes shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. Youll be fine. Better than fine! Youll be great, and Els real good at taking care of first timers. The short haired firecracker tossed El a playful wink, trying to let her jealousy go as it was threatening to ruin her high. It was hard to do though, seeing as she was convinced that she was more Ethans type than the girl next door. With that thought she simply chalked it up to him being friendly and let it go...at least for the moment. Give in. Just a little. It was then that everyone seemed to chime in, egging her on and promising that she would be fine. It was a little overwhelming, and Lauren was quickly starting to realize that saying no was going to be a somewhat impossible feat. With a sigh the blonde looked towards El, and gave a hesitant little shrug. Youll have to walk me through it. There was a small little outburst of cheers from the table, excited to see the perfect little blonde let go a little and live. Lauren would wait for everything to be set up, and instructions on what to do. Although it was hard to hear anything over the pounding of her heart. So nervous she thought it might beat right out of her chest. As soon as the drug hit her though, that first little dip into something new, she would forget all about her initial hesitation. Colors seemed to burst to life around her, everything more vibrant and clear. Time seemed to slow, as she could feel every fiber of her being tingle and vibrate. As if she might just start floating into space. There was something incredibly erotic about it, every sense seemed to be heightened, especially that of touch. The way her hair brushed the back of her neck causing her skin to prickle up and a shiver to run down her spine. Lauren had no idea how much time had passed before she focused back in on the people around her, but it felt like it might have been an eternity. Wow
