Fuel to the Fire.

I looked at my outfit in the mirror feeling like nothing is good enough. I placed the jacket making sure no skin was being showed. I fixed my hair once more, putting a red flower in my ear. I looked closer to the mirror making sure all the make up I had on looked good, the close to nothing make up. I looked over at the door opening up, Emma walking in smiling.
“You look so cute!”
“Thank you, so do you.”
“Why thank you love”, she said bowing down making me laugh.
“So are you sure you want to go.”
“Well John wanted me to.”
“Well okay, I’ll be next to you the whole time.”
“Thank you.”
On cue John walked into the door and stood there smiling at me. I felt my face blush as he just stared. I looked at him with the questioning look.
“What?”
“You look hot, I swear you have the nicest legs I have ever seen”, he said kissing my cheek.
“Thanks?”
“Stop being so damn awkward!” he said with a laugh before slapping my ass.
“Well shit when your slapping my ass, it doesn’t help.”
“You love when I slap your ass”, he said kissing my ear giving me goosebumps.
“Shut up!” At this point my face was beyond red.
“Are you ready babe?”
“Yeah, are we leaving now?”
“Yes.”
I nodded my head and let him grab my hand and pull me out to where everyone was. I gave them all hugs before we all pilled up in our cars and drove off to the party or whatever this was. Once we pulled up to this club like place I gave John a look and he just laughed and rubbed my leg. We parked the car and we walked in, with just a name we were all let in. I looked around at all this pictures of this blond girl who I had no idea who she was. People around us were grinding up on each other, I will never get use to this.
“Who’s party is this?”
“This girl I know”, John said with a shrug.
When he usually said that, its some girl that he hooked up with. I let go of John’s hand and walked over to Emma. He looked back at me and then continued to walk off to the bar. I stood there with Emma and Theresa as the rest of the guys went to get drinks.
“So just to let you know, this is John’s ex girlfriends party”, Theresa said looking at the guys making sure they were out of hearing range, but with this music it was even hard to hear what Theresa was saying.
“I figured.”
They just laughed and grabbed me into a hug. Every minute they would bump their ass into me, dancing to whatever horrible music was playing on the speakers. Finally the guys came back, all holding drinks. I grabbed the mixed drink from John’s hand. I looked into it, before smelling it. I head John laughing on the side of me, being joined by the other guys.
“There’s not roofies in it”, Jared said with a laugh.
“Who know’s with John”, I said making him roll his eyes and take a drink of his beer.
“Hey guys!”
I looked over at Kenny with Hop connected to his hip. I gave him a hug and then grabbing Hope into one too. I looked over at Pat, the other Kirch brother and I guess the drummer in John’s band. I looked at the small thing, just thinking how adorable he was.
“You have two dates or what?” Jared asked looking over at Pat and Hope.
“Where Hope goes, her best friend comes along”, he said looking over at Pat with an annoying look on his face.
“You know you love me”, Pat said with a smile, putting his head on his shoulder.
“Not really.”
We all stood there talking, I just kept looking around at people looking over at John and pointing. I didn’t dare tell him, an ego feed is the last thing John needs right now. I looked over at Emma and she was noticing the same thing. That’s when I saw the birthday girl walking over, she had to be more beautiful in person.
“JohnOhhhh!” I hated that nickname.
“Hey Keri, happy birthday”, he said as they hugged.
I couldn’t hear them talk and it killed me. I looked over at Emma and she was doing the exact same thing making me laugh. I watched as John looked back at me, same with the girl. Then John started to walk over me with an annoyed look on his face. Here we go.
“Is it okay if we dance?”
“I don’t care”, I said completely lying.
“Oh okay then, be back”, he said kissing my cheek.
I watched as she grabbed him into the dance floor, I watched as she grinded against him. The feeling in my stomach was making it hard to keep a straight face. All the guys just talked to me but I couldn’t really hear because in the corner of my eye I was staring at John with some beautiful girl. My insecurities were through the roof.
“I wouldn’t never let my boyfriend do that.”
“He’s not my boyfriend”, I said with a shrug.
“How much trouble is he in when he comes back?”
“None”, I said finishing my drink.
It’s been about 4 songs by now and yet John was still attached to the crotch with that girl. I stood there talking to Kenny and Hope, trying my hardest not to let this whole thing get to me. I didn’t catch her name from my attention being mainly on John.
“Dylan!”
I looked over at Cassie, the new hire at work. We got along more than anyone there. She and Luke were the only ones I liked at work. She ran up to me giving me a big hug.
“What are you doing here?!”
“My friends”, I said as she looked back and nodded.
“That’s why I’m here. I walked in and I was like shit this bitch is everywhere.”
“I know right!” I said lauging looking back at John and Keri.
“That’s here huh? Wait is that John?”
“Mhm”, I said as she looked back at me with her mouth opened looking mad.
“Fuck that guy.”
“Why?” I asked with a laugh finishing the rest of my drink feeling a slight buzz.
“She’s dancing with that ugly girl, you’re way prettier!”
“I told him he could”, I said as Emma walked over.
“Like 6 songs ago”, she said looking annoyed.
“Are you serious?” Cassie said looking from Emma to me with the same shocked face.
“I’m not counting”, I said when I know it was exactly 7 and going on the 8th song.
“Emma this is Cassie, Cassie this is Emma.”
I watched as they shook hands with a big smile and then talking more shit. I stood there wishing my cup wasn’t empty. I reached over for Emma’s cup and downing whatever she had. They both watched me with a laugh, knowing that I was pissed. I didn’t hide my emotions well sometimes.
“Let’s go”, Cassie and Emma said grabbing me.
“Where are we going?”
“Dancing, two can play that game!” Cassie said laughing as we passed John.
I looked over at him and saw he was staring back at us with questioning eyes. Cassie grabbed my hand and pulled me into her, dancing on me. I started to dance around with the beat laughing at Emma and Cassie dancing up on me. We danced around having fun, I completely forgot about John. I looked over at Jeff dancing with Emma. Then some guy grabbed Cassie’s waist leaving me alone, but not for long. I felt arms being wrapped around my waist; I was too drunk to even figure this out. I sway my hips into his as the beat worked up. I could hear his singing along with the song, rapping along. He rolled his hips into me and I started to feel uncomfortable. Suddenly I felt him stop dancing and I saw he was replaced with John. He looked down at me kind of pissed, but I just danced up on him rolling my hips into his. Then I walked away from him, walking back to get a drink.
“What was that about?”
“What?” I asked completely drunk at this point.
“Dancing with that guy, grinding up on him crazy”, he said pissed off.
“We were dancing.”
“Practically fucking on the dance floor.”
“No we weren’t. That was you and that girl.”
“Can we go outside and talk?”
“Let me finish this.”
He looked down at me and watched as I chugged the drink down. Once I finished the last sip, John grabbed the cup and placed it on the table before grabbing my hand and walking me outside. He took a seat on the bench and pulled me down; I practically fell on top of him.
“Wow how much did you drink?” he asked with a laugh.
“I don’t remember.”
“You little alcoholic.”
“I blame you”, I said pointing my finger at him.
He just laughed and reached over with his mouth biting down on my finger making me laugh. He grabbed me into a kiss.
“Be my girlfriend.”
“Nope”, I said putting my legs on him.
“Why not?”
“No relationships.”
“Fine, no relationships”, he said kissing me face. “But I want you to know, I’m falling for you.”
I just ignored him and gave him another kiss, he pulled away looking at me. I just smiled and got up and grabbed his hand.
“Let’s go dance.”
