specimen. If I don’t march away
now, he will think he can walk all over me like all those other
tramps. And I am not putting myself in that category. Internal debate
over, I’m going to the bathroom. I finally get my wits together
and I walk off. I don’t want to hear his excuses tonight.
I head to Blake’s room to
use his bathroom, as it won’t be as packed. I’m walking
through the lounge room on my way back from the bathroom and I see
Lola and some random grinding on the dance floor. I try looking
around for Blake and I find him standing in the doorway watching. He
looks like he is about to walk out there and pummel the guy’s
face in.
"Blake, how about we go and
get me a drink?" I tell him. He keeps on staring, but then grabs
my hand and we walk back to the kitchen. Josh is still there with a
little blonde. Her tits are hanging out her shirt, trying to rub up
against him. I simply smile and walk with Blake to the bar area. I
look back at Josh and he is smirking at me. God, why do I attract the
bad boys? Arghh!
Brit and I head back on the dance
floor and I’ve been stealing glances at Josh. He has different
women up on him all night. He hasn’t done anything with them
apart from touches on the hips and hugs. He makes me so angry and I
know that’s what he is aiming for because every time I look up,
his eyes instantly lock with mine and I have to pull myself away. I’m
having a great time dancing when I turn around to search for Lola and
someone I was never expecting to see walks through the door. He looks
around, spots the boys in the kitchen, and starts talking and
drinking with them. I’m standing shocked out of my brain. I
don’t even notice Brit nudging me.
"Sasha," she yells in my
ear. I swing around and tell her who just walked in the door. She
tries to look in the kitchen to get a better look. I’m so
nervous at seeing him because Josh is here as well, and the last
thing I want to do is cause a scene.
"Don’t, I just want to
go home," I tell her urgently. The last thing I want to deal
with are two guys I’m attracted to in the same room.
"Why? You’re not dating
either of them. Have some fun."
"Whatever."
"Lighten up, hunny. Oh, my
God, is that him? He is gorgeous and he is coming this way."
I turn around and he’s
standing staring at me. We slowly walk to each other, our eyes
locked. Oh, wow, he looks good dressed in jeans that hang on his hips
and a casual shirt that looks like it cost two hundred dollars, but
he pulls it off.
"Hi, Sasha, didn’t
realise
you would be here."
"Hey, yeah, I know Blake."
"So, want to come get a
drink?"
"Sure, why not."
We’re walking into the
kitchen, where the bar area is, and he places his hand on my back.
It’s such a simple gesture, but it feels territorial and nice.
We’re standing talking when
Josh walks in and does a double take. I can feel his eyes glaring at
me but I don’t turn to look because he just did the same thing
to me, so I choose to completely ignore him till I hear his voice and
my body instantly tenses up.
"Hey, Dyl, I see you have met
the beautiful Sasha."
Dylan looks at me, and then back
at Josh, like he is trying to work something out.
"Yeah, we actually work
together. How do you know each other?"
I’m not sure what is going
to come out of Josh's mouth. He could throw me under the bus and tell
Dylan about how we met, but he doesn’t. Instead, he says, "She
is Lola's little sister. Lola is friends with Blake."
"Oh."
Now, I’m wondering what
really is going on with Lola and Aaron. He said “oh” like
he has just worked something out that I’m missing.
The same blonde comes up from
earlier and starts flirting with Josh. I look up and see he has that
panty-dropping smirk on his face. I know he wants a reaction from me
but I’ve chosen to not give him the satisfaction. I’m
distracted when I feel warmth on my thigh. It’s Dylan trying to
get my attention, asking me if I want to dance. I look back at Josh
and he
