Skipping Stone.

“Do you really need to wear that?”

Parker rolled her eyes as she tugged at her dress. “Do I not look good?”

“You look bit slag-ish.”

Her hazel eyes rolled in annoyance as she fluffed her hair. She turned to her boyfriend with a smirk on her lips. She leaned in pressing it just below his ear.

“Just the way you like them, yeah?”

Javier let out a frustrated growl of annoyance as he nodded his head. “What is wrong with you, you’ve been extra bitchy lately. We’re constantly fighting and it’s always because of you.”

She let out a chuckle as she reached over fixing her smudged eyeliner. “My fault?” she asked as her finger swiped away the slight smudge under her hazel eyes. “You’re the one constantly undermining me. All you do is nag, nag and nag some more. It’s rather irritating love.”

“I do anything of the sort.”

“What are you doing now, Javier?”

He watched as his lovely girlfriend turning around, a bright smile on her face. He wanted to say so much but instead he just kept quiet. He nodded his head before pulling his large body up from her black comforter that he hated. He grabbed her hand in his, staring deep into her eyes. She looked into his green eyes and couldn’t help but to let her knees go weak. Javier was a good looking man, hell who was she kidding he was gorgeous. He had model like features and a body straight out of a fitness magazine. He was a successful business man with the money to make proof, but Parker wasn’t really interested in his money. She was more into his looks as well as attitude. She was able to walk all over him, Javier didn’t play well conformation and Parker thrived off it.

“Have bits of fun tonight, my amor,” he spoke before pressing his lips against her knuckles.

She couldn’t help but to smile, he didn’t want to mess her make up so he kissed her hand. Sometimes she wished he didn’t care about her feelings more than his. Sometimes she wanted him to just grab her, kiss her until her lipstick was no more. Grab her hair passionately to the point where it was standing in every which way, but he never did.
She expected him to stay but instead he bowed his goodbye before walking out of her room. She knitted her eyebrows in confusion as she watched him walk towards the door, grabbing his coat in the meanwhile. He was out the door with a slight slam. Parker just threw her head back in annoyance as the two noisy pair of eyes showed up at her doorway.

“What in god’s name just happened?”

Parker just rolled her eyes before shrugging her shoulder. “I need a proper drink.”

Josh walked through the club, his hand clutching on to his girlfriend. He looked down at her small dress and the highest of heels and the bright smile on her face as people stared in their direction. She loved the attention and in a way so did Josh. His life was revolved around attention being spotted on him and he thrived off it.

“Baby,” she spoke into his ear, already slurring on her words. “Come dance with me,” she wined gripping his arm and tugging him towards the dance floor.

Josh simple shook his head, he wasn’t nearly drunk enough. “Later babe,” he spoke pressing his lips against her ear.

“Fine,” she said with a pout.

And before he knew it her hand was no longer in his as she walked out to the dance floor gripping her mates hand in the process. Josh closed his eyes as he ran his fingers through his hair.

“Joshie, baby!” he heard his friend yell out in excitement.

He grinned in their direction as he made his way to the group of guys. “What’s up blood?”

“Just chillin’ like a motha fuckin’ villain,” he spoke with arms spread out and a beer in his hand.

Josh just let out a laugh before looking out to his girlfriend. He watched her body grinding on her friend as they held each other up to keep balance. He shook his head as he turned to his friends who were all watching with bright grins on their faces.

“Your girls going to leave your ass for another girl,” Matt said as he took another sip of his beer.

“You see lesbians, I see opportunities,” he said with a wink. “Threesome bitches,” he said as the rest of them laughed at his words. “Enough about my sex life, I’m going to get a drink.”

“Get me another lager, mate.”

Josh threw his hand up as he nodded his head. He averted his eyes towards his destination and with a sigh he pushed his way through the sweaty bodies. He never did like the club scene; he was really a fan of the small pub scene. As he got closer to the bar his eyes couldn’t help but to direct itself at the small girl in the small dress, his eyes going straight to her ass. He licked his lips with a grin as he looked her up and down and as his eyes fell upon the familiar tattoo’s he couldn’t help but to throw his head back in laughter. He walked up the bar as he leaned his body looking in the girl’s direction. Her eyes everywhere but in Josh’s direction as her fingers clutched the beer in hand.

“Fancy seeing you here, Miss Parker PJ Johnson,” he spoke into her ear.

Suddenly the girl turned around with curious eyes and then her expression changed to a smile. She let out a laugh before turning her body to face his. Her eyes noticing the same gray beanie on his head along with a plaid shirt and tight black jeans, she let out a laugh rolling her eyes.

“Are you stalking me, Josh?”

“Possibly,” he said with a shrug. “Though, I’m rather hurt that you didn’t invite me out to these festivities. I thought we were best friends, man.”

“I just thought it would be too forward.”

Josh nodded his head with a laugh. “Here alone?”

She shook her head softly. “With a few mates and yourself?” she asked with a nod of her head.

“The same,” he said before looking the girl up and down.

“Please don’t judge me by my slut gear,” she spoke gaining his attention. “I don’t want my boss to think I’m some proper slag.”

“Your boss?” he asked with a cheeky grin. “I like the ring to that; you must call me boss man for now on.”

“Right away boss man,” she spoke with a salute causing the two to chuckle.

Parker grinned in his direction before taking a brief swig of her beer. She looked over at Josh as their eyes focused on one another. The dim lightly making the blue color of his eyes sparkle, she liked his eyes. She found Josh very attractive; he had that charming cheeky grin that she adored on her boys. Just as Josh went to open his lips to speak Parker’s body was grabbed quickly. She turned her hazel eyes to be met with his wide brown ones.

“Why aren’t you dancing, love?”

Parker grinned in his direction before shaking his head. “I’m not drunk enough,” she said causing Josh to shake his head with a laugh. “Jace, baby girl, meet my boss Josh,” she said as Josh grinned up at the obviously flamboyant boy with electric colors on his shirt.

He placed out his hand as Jace did the same. He grabbed his hand for a soft hand shake before Jace decided to bow.

“Pleasure,” he spoke with his flirtatious tone of voice that only made Parker chuckle.

Josh on the other hand just smiled kindly before pulling his hand away. “Easy girl,” she spoke to Jace with a smile. “He’s a straight one,” she spoke as Josh nodded his head vigorously.

“All the cute ones are,” he said with a sigh. “You need to hurry up and get drunk, love. Liz is eating all the men out there like a bloody lion.”

She nodded her head with a chuckle. “I’m almost there,” she said finishing off her beer.

“My god woman, beer doesn’t do shit for you. That’s your fifth beer already,” he spoke as

Josh listened quietly with a grin on his lips watching the two interact. “Handsome!” he yelled over the bar waving his hand about.

The bartender turned around with an annoyed look on his face before stopping on Parker. He grinned at the girl looking her up and down like she was a piece of meat. Josh and Jace both watched with an annoyed expression on their face. Jace was used to guys fawning over Parker; Josh was getting his first taste.

“What could I get you lovely?”

Parker rolled her eyes before looking over at Jace. “He’s talking to you baby girl,” she said loud enough for the bartender to hear.

Jace smiled widely as Josh shook his head with a laugh. “We need shots, Jaeger bombs,” he spoke as the man nodded his head.

“How many?” he asked looking down at the glasses he was already pulling out.

“Two,” he said putting up two fingers before he looked over at Josh. “Oi, mate,” he said catching his attention.

Josh looked up confused but still holding that cheeky smile of his. “Care for one?” he asked as Josh shrugged his shoulder.

He looked over in Parker’s direction, the two of them exchanging smiles. He finally looked away from her hazel eyes to Jace.

“Why the fuck not,” he said with a shrug.

“That’s the spirit,” Jace yelled with excitement.

Parker let out a laugh shaking her head. Suddenly the three of them had drinks laid out in front of them. She took a deep breath before grabbing the jaeger in her hand. She turned to her friend with a grin before her eyes traveled off to Josh. She lifted her eyebrows in his direction with a smirk on her lips. Josh grabbed his glass and bowed his head before lifting his drink in Jace direction.

“Bottoms up bitches!” she yelled before dropping the jaeger into the monster.

And with a quick moment all three brought the drink to their lips finishing it off in one gulp before slamming the empty glass on the bar. Parker brought her hand to her lips whipping away the liquid from her face before giving Jace a wide grin.

“Care for another?”

Parker looked over at Jace before chuckling. She turned her attention back to Josh; he lifted his eyebrows with the cheeky grin on his lips. He nodded his head and that just made Jace yell out in excitement.

She let out a chuckle before reaching over to Josh, pressing her lips against his ear. “You just made his night.”

He watched her pull away with a wide smile. He shook his head before leaning in, pressing his lips against her ear.

“And why is that?”

Parker didn’t have a chance to answer; her drink was pulled out in front of her. She took a deep breath before lifting the shot glass in her hand. She looked over at Jace lifting her eyebrows with a worried look on her face and then turned to Josh to make the same face.

“I’m going to regret this tomorrow,” she spoke before downing the rest of the drink.

They took the shot, all three of them with a strange expression on their face. Wide mouth as well as wide eyed.

“Okay, I’m ready to dance,” Jace announce stretching his arms up and moving his hips to the beat. “Are you two going to join me or what?”

Both Josh and Parker shook their heads with a laugh. Jace simply put up his middle finger before walking off. She turned her attention to Josh watching as he let out a loud laugh shaking his head.

“He’s a very amusing bloke.”

“That’s him taming it down, put another shot in him and he’s bloody Rupaul.”

“I would love to see that.”

“Trust me, you wouldn’t,” she spoke with a laugh.

Josh’s blue eyes looked in her direction with a wide smile. The two just looked at each other, it seemed that time just stretched but in all reality it was a mere 5 seconds. They both shared the same wide smile that was until their small moment was ruined.

“Babe, what are you doing?”

Parker felt her body being pushed back as a girl’s body wedged herself through Parker and Josh’s body. Her hazel eyes went wide before she took a step back gripping her beer feeling slightly awkward. She could feel the girl’s stare as she turned to stare at Parker, her insecurities taking over at the mere sight of the girl.

“Hanna, this is Parker,” he spoke calmly as the girl’s green eyes turned to Parker once more, giving her another look over. “She’s the new designer helping us with the new collection,” he said with a grin. “Parker, this is my girlfriend Hanna.”

Hanna looked at the girl with her judging eyes. “Hello,” she spoke with a bit of an attitude to her voice.

Parker felt uncomfortable under her stare. She watched her settle closer to Josh’s body almost guarding him. Parker took a deep breath as she clicked her red heels together.

“It’s nice to meet you,” she spoke with a grin.

Hanna just nodded her head looking at the girl and then turned back to Josh. She pressed her lips to his for a demanding kiss. Parker merely laughed feeling even more uncomfortable, especially with the awkward stiffness to Josh’s unwelcoming lips. She looked away with a smirk on her lips. Girls would always act this way around Parker, always marking their territory.

“Hanna,” he spoke with red cheeks as he pushed his girlfriend off slightly.

He gave her a look, only to get an eye roll in return. He let out a sigh before grabbing his girlfriend’s hand, lacing their fingers together as a soft sign to tell her that she had nothing to be worried about.

“Do you want to come and join us?”

Parker looked over at Josh and Hanna’s hurt expression. She made an awkward expression before shaking her head.

“I’m good here,” she said with a laugh. “Besides, Jace will be back to pull me on the dance floor.”

“Good luck with that.”

She nodded her head before saluting him off. “Nice to meet you Hanna,” she shouted over the music.

“You too,” she said with a polite smile, almost too polite.

Josh let out a laugh as he tugged his girlfriend. “You’re proper jealous.”

Hanna rolled her eyes as she grabbed his hand tighter. “Did you see her, she’s a complete slag.”

Josh just rolled his eyes with a smile on his lips. He looked down at Hanna. He rested his hands on her thick hips before leaning down and pressing his lips against hers.

“You have nothing to worry about.”

If only he knew how wrong he was.
