Fuel to the Fire.

“I better see you tonight.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“Dress up!”
I looked over at Jen rolling my eyes. Jen has this big winter party every year; I guess it’s a big thing. I tried my best to avoid it all. Throughout work she would bring up the party, making sure I was going. I tried my hardest to get out of it but she caught me in every lie. I finally got home work to see John outside with Eric playing football, like always.
“She works hard for her money!”
“So hard for her money!” John sang along.
“You guys are dumb”, I said with bags in my hands looking around.
“You got new clothes?!”
“Yes, I had to get an outfit for tonight.”
“What’s tonight?” Eric asked still throwing the football.
“This girl from works party, you guys want to come with me?”
“Sure”, John said throwing the ball back at Eric.
“Can I bring Theresa?”
“Yes you can.”
“Okay cool, we had no plans tonight anyways”, he said throwing the ball back at John.
“Well I need to go get ready; it’s like a fancy thing. Not down to get sexy.”
“I’m down to see that”, John said looking over at me with a wink.
“You shut it, see you guys tonight”, I said walking into the door.
I walked straight into my room and into the shower, shaving my legs in the tub. I always hated shaving, I was more of a Nair person but that shit ran out so this is what I had to do. I got out of the shower and got dressed. I got the small little skirt and longish shit and tucked it into the skirt. I left my hair down and left it in it natural curly mess. I fixed up my makeup, just normal soft make up. I slipped my feet in the pink heels that Emma let me borrow. I looked at myself noticing how short the shirt was, I just shrugged and continued to fix my hair.
“Can I come in?”
“Yeah.”
The door opened and John came in and then he looked me up and down and just stared. I looked over at him and gave him a look before he just laughed and walked behind me giving me a kiss on the neck.
“You’re going to wear this?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re going to get every boy in this entire town”, he said grabbing my hips.
I just laughed and turned around to give him a kiss. He opened my mouth licking off the lemonade chap stick that he loved. I felt his hands go up my skirt grabbing my butt softly. I just laughed in the laugh pulling away.
“Now you’re being balsy?”
“No, you just don’t know what you do to me.”
I couldn’t help but to laugh. We walked out of my room and got Theresa and Eric before going to the party. Once we got there John and Eric looked at me with a weird face, I just stared at them back confused.
“You know Jen?”
“Yeah, I work with her.”
“Oh, weird.”
I just gave them a questioning look but they didn’t say anything in return. We walked into the party and it was out of control, way too much going on. We walked straight to the liquor; I’ve learned that’s the first place to hit up once you get to a party. John made me a drink and I just took a sip looking around.
“JohnOhhh, how the fuck are you?”
I looked over at Jen talking to John; I guess not noticing that I was here.
“Hey Jen”, he said as I watched them hug and exchange kisses on the cheek. “I’ve been good, just school and shit. How about you?”
“I’ve been really good; I really miss hanging out with you. We did have a really good time.”
“Yeahhhh”, he said and by that tone I could tell he was awkward.
“Dylan!”
“Hey Jen”, I said walking over and giving her a hug.
“You look so fucking hot!” she said looking me up and down. “Hotter if you weren’t wearing underwear.”
“Also really slutty”, I said as she shrugged with a laugh.
“I guess I’m really slutty.”
I watched her look over at John, looking up and down and then it clicked. They had sex. Jealousy was building up in me just looking at her. Oh well.
“Dylan this is my friend John.”
“Yeah I know, we came together”, he said smiling at me.
“Oh, are you guys together?” she said knitting her eyebrows together.
“No”, I said quickly before John could say anything.
He looked over at me with a confused look and then I looked over at Jen’s smirk. I just shrugged and left them to get another drink. The one that was in my hand magically disappeared. I found Eric and Theresa standing there talking, obviously about me because once they saw me they stopped.
“What were you guys talking about?” I asked taking a chug from my drink.
“Nothing”, Eric said with a big smile.
I looked over at Theresa and just looked at me guilty. Theresa and I got pretty close through all the times we’ve hung out. Once Eric walked away to get another drink she looked back at me with urgency.
“Okay, I’ll make it fast. John and Jen use to have sex, a lot!”
“I figured”, I said as I watched Jen dancing on John.
“Yeah, sorry girl.”
“Its fine”, I said finishing my drink once again.
Eric came back and I felt awkward with them kissing and acting cute, dancing to the music. I walked away with my empty cup looking over at Jen all over John and of course once John had a couple of drinks he was down for anything, more like anyone; but me. I stood there making myself a drink just staring at them, wishing I had some kind of powers.
“You’re really awkward at parties aren’t you?”
I looked over at Luke and smiled, thank god he was here. I nodded my head with a smile before pouring the fruit punch in my drink. He looked at my drink raising his eyebrows.
“You know that fruit punch has Malibu in it.”
“I know”, I said chugging the drink like nothing.
“You’re full of surprises.”
“I guess so”, I said laughing trying to fix my dress.
“This outfit is hot, but it’s not you.”
“I know, I really just want to wear jeans and a t shirt.”
“With vans.”
“Exactly!” I said pointing a finger at him feeling buzzed.
“Uh oh someone’s buzzed.”
“Just a little bit”, I said taking another drink.
I looked over and saw Jen and John making out, my stomach kind of turned. The feeling in the pit of my stomach was horrible. I looked up and Luke didn’t notice the color in my face leaving but of course he noticed the shaky knees.
“You’re really shaky”, he said holding my waist with a worried look.
“I don’t want to just stand here, let’s dance!”
“Are you sure?” he asked laughing.
“Yeah!”
I downed the rest of my drink and swayed my hips into Luke. He pulled us out of the kitchen and he rested against a wall laughing at my dance moves.
“Do the dice!” I said laughing.
He did it back at me making me laugh, but then the song changed into one of those bump and grind songs. I looked over at John and Jen practically fucking and the anger rose into me. I turned my body around to face Luke and I leaned in and kissed him. He kissed back letting his tongue enter my mouth; I opened my mouth letting his tongue slide against mine. He turned me around so I was up against the wall. I felt my skirt being lifted, thank god he switched us. I pulled away and smiled at him, he just stared back out of breath.
“Wanna get out of here?” I asked with pure lust in my eyes.
“You sure about that.”
I nodded my head and he just laughed before leaning in and kissing me harder.
“I need to go tell my friends I’m leaving and get my keys.”
“Okay.”
He leaned in and gave me another kiss before walking off. I walked over to Eric and Theresa who were just laughing at the mess of people.
“Where the heck have you been?” Halvo asked with a laugh.
“With Luke.”
“Oh em gee, did you guys do the nasty?”
“Not yet”, I said with a laugh.
His face went completely serious before looking over at Theresa. I looked over and saw John and Jen making out, Jen’s ass completely out of her dress. I was disgusted.
“What does that mean?” Theresa asked.
“We’re gonna leave right now”, I said moving my hair out of my face, feeling all hot and sticky.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“It’s a great idea!”
Eric just laughed before giving me a kiss on the forehead and walking away. I looked over at Theresa not able to stay still or see straight.
“How much did you drink?”
“A lot.”
“Obviously”, she said with a laugh putting her arm around me.
“Do you really want to have sex with Luke?”
“I do.”
“Sure?”
“Yeah Theresa, I’m actually willing to have sex with anyone!”
She just put her hand over my mouth making me laugh. I pushed her hand away looking up at her. Then I felt hands on my hips, I looked behind me and saw Luke standing there with a grin, and an unlit cigarette in his mouth.
“Ready to go?”
“Yeah”, I said getting out of Theresa’s arms.
“Are you good to drive?” Theresa asked pointing a finger at him.
“Perfectly fine. I just got the standard testing from my buddy; he’s training to be a cop. I’m good.”
“Take care of her.”
“Trust me, I will”, he said kissing my neck making me laugh.
He grabbed my hand as I waved at Theresa. We walked outside, the cold air hitting us. I felt so much better as I stumbled through the grass. Fuck these heels. I stopped and tore those suckers off.
“You’re adorable”, he said kissing my forehead. “Let me smoke this and we’ll go.”
I watched him grab a lighter from his tight pants and lighting it up. I never liked cigarettes but he looked really fucking hot. Once he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and blew the smoke out, I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. He laughed before leaning in and giving me another one.
“Dylan!”
I looked over and saw John running out to me. I looked over at Luke who looked pissed, he was getting cocked blocked and we both knew it.
“We should have just left”, I said with a laugh watching John get closer.
“Tell me about it.”
“Dylan what the fuck are you doing?”
“Um standing here.”
“Can we talk?”
I wasn’t able to answer before John grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Luke. Once we were out of his hearing range he looked at me with a hurt face.
“You’re seriously going to go home with him at the state you’re in.”
“Yes.”
“Dylan you’re drunk.”
“I know, I’m a big girl I can make my own decisions.”
“Get back inside, please.”
“Why?”
“Just please, I don’t want him touching you”, he said through his teeth with disgust.
“Why, I thought you liked him?”
“I do but not for you. I don’t want him touching you.”
I just rolled my eyes crossing my arms, getting sober after every breath I took. He looked at me with those puppy eyes he always did.
“Fine.”
I rolled my eyes walking over to Luke to tell him that I was going to stay. He wasn’t mad or anything, he just kissed my cheek and drove off. Once inside the party John was connected to me the whole night, completely ignoring Jen. On the drive home I could feel John coming on to me in the back of car, he leaned in kissing me but I pulled away. He looked at me with a hurt face and I just gave him a smirk. “You cocked block me, I’m returning the favor.”
