"Betty! Look who f.u.c.king decided to show up"! Patty yells at Clara as we walk inside the crowded room."Whoa, easy b.i.t.c.hy she"s with me" I grin taking Clara"s hand and walked past her to greet our host. Whoa, this room is so huge and the party"s got a hinky taste.
Clara lets go of my hand and head to get a drink for herself. "You came! have a gla.s.s of wine Betty smiled handing me the gla.s.s that looks exactly like what Clara described.
"Aww... So sweet of you... Thanks, I"m indeed impressed". I collected the gla.s.s from her and hurried to where Clara was sitting with a bunch of already wasted students but Betty grabbed my hands, which I f.u.c.king didn"t like. Be cool. I tell myself.
"Hey... It isn"t fair to give a drink and not be appreciated". She beams.
Whoa, this is gonna be tougher than I expected " I did... I said thanks, didn"t I? Or is ya mind blocked?" I breathe.
"Well, let"s make a toast then... It"s your first party here and you ain"t f.u.c.king gonna turn down my request, are you?.
"Of course yeah not. well then. "" I smile bringing the gla.s.s closer to hers. Clara rushed from where she was sitting and pushed herself to me making the gla.s.s fall and spill on Betty"s dress.
"f.u.c.k!! Who invited this fool here! Betty yell and raised her hand to hit Clara," What"s wrong with you! She says in a soft but harsh voice as everyone stood surprised looking at her. Some like me might be wondering Betty being rude? She can"t even shout!.
"I"m sorry. It"s just that... Lara, your dad called, he said your grandma is sick and she needs you in the hospital". Clara mumbled nervously.
Grandma? Clara is really smart " Oh, Nana... I knew her health wasn"t strong but not this immediate call, oh my G.o.d.. Hey! My phone... I need to call home. "" I say to Clara and turn to face betty.
"I"m sorry on Clara"s behalf. Betty don"t take it to heart. It"s just a drink. I tell Betty who is already walking out probably going to the bathroom cause her dress is messed up.
"Hey!, you did a great job, if you hadn"t come... I would have ended up drinking that ew! The thought of it makes me wanna regurgitate".
"I told you, it ain"t easy and I almost bite my tongue while forging that lie! Clara Laughs trying to cool her anxious mind.
"What are you laughing about, may I join you, ladies? Stephen asks from behind.
"Wow... Here comes our plan b. I whisper for only Clara"s hearing." Hey, nice seeing you here! I smile fakely.
"Yeah, thanks but you don"t have to smile at me when deep down, you didn"t mean it.
"Sorry? I even... Clara pinched me making me take back what I said. "Sorry, care for a drink?". I ask him.
"Hey Clara, he smiles and extends his hand to Clara for a hand check. "Let"s go then. We walked to get a drink and didn"t notice when Clara sneaked out leaving the two of us here. Clara! I mutter through my teeth.
"Are you alright?" Stephen ask
"Yeah am fine... Thanks for asking. While am I suddenly speechless in front of this guy. What is wrong with me!
"Hey "". he breathes and places the back of his hand on my forehead. Suddenly the rock and roll song turns to a soft song which everyone is now in pairs dancing. "Dance with me, please Lara, don"t say no to me for once. Please. "" He extends his hand waiting for mine.
"Sure". I smile and take his offer. We walk to where others were already dancing and he brings his hands to my waist, his eyes piercing deeply and asking lots of questions which only I know the answers to. We followed the steps of the song slowly.
***
Stephen got carried away by the romantic song that fills the air and brings his lips to kiss mine when the song was halfway to end. which I turn my head over his shoulder and whisper to him. "Could you do me a favor?.
"Anything for you Lara". he says softly.
"I.. want you to get Christy drunk. Could you do that for me, please?
"Uhm. How am I supposed to do that?". He asked confused.
"Stephen? use your boyish charms!
"My boyish charms? They ain"t even working on you!.
They are! But he doesn"t need to know. "Um. It"s not like she isn"t into you already, so it ain"t gonna take much more than you expected. Just ask her to dance with you. Don"t get too close like we are now. Later ask her for a drink.
"Sure, I will".
"Find her once we are out of sight okay... We won"t take much time".
"Who"s we?" He asked eyeing me carefully as if trying to get answers from my eyes.
"Clara and I".
"What are you guys up to... Lara?". He asks softly
"I will explain everything later okay? " I say and pulled him closer to me for a hug. Showing how truly grateful I am for asking him this favor." This room is so d.a.m.n big! It can contain the whole school party". I laugh.
"Yeah, it is". He says holding me tightly to him.
"Jezz we are standing here alone when the dance is over already!".
"Sorry,". he smiles and leads me to sit with him on the white couch in the room.
"Here she comes".I whisper.
"Here you are! I"ve been looking everywhere for y..ou. she says and her jar dropped immediately as she saw Stephen while her eyes were totally fixed on him.
"Hey, care for a dance?". Chris asks and her eyes widen.
"Me? Sure... Yeah. "" She smiles and sits between us while using her a.s.s to s.h.i.+ft me.
"Now" I mouth and Stephen nods. Thank G.o.d he understood. I walk to where Clara was busy jumping up and down in the name of dancing and pulled her to me. "Plan b accomplished, let"s head for plan c". I whisper.
"What are you saying! She yelled into the loud music.
"Hey, keep your voice down... Clara, Plan b completed.
"Wow, not that hard to accomplish". she laughs.
"Hey! Are you drunk?" I asked confused.." How could you behave like this when Stephen is already on his and Thompson and others are there, already wasted! We have to get going already". I say trying to talk sense into her.
"I"m not drunk! I"m sorry... I"m gonna head upstairs to check if it"s free, stick to your phone, got that? She ask and I nod.
"Hey, I didn"t mean to be harsh ok?.
"Yeah... Me too. She says and walks upstairs, taking the stairs two at a time.
A few minutes later my phone buzz and everybody in the room is already off, except Stephen." What the heck just happened? he asked lifting Christy from himself.
"I ain"t sure, maybe Clara? I check my phone for any text." All clear and dozed off..off that loud music From Clara. I walk and off the music.
"You might want to head up with me". I say, not even sure if it was supposed to be a question or a statement.
***
"Here it is, Clara says carrying out a laptop under Christy"s bed and inserted her adapter in it.
"She hid it there? I ask confused. Here of all places? No time to waste, let"s begin.
"h.e.l.l, It"s got a pa.s.sword". Clara hissed pacing around trying to crack the pa.s.sword.
"Wait, let me handle that". Stephen says and walks to where the laptop lay on the bed.
...
"Here you go ladies, he smiled extending his hand to where the laptop lay on the bed. That"s my Stephen, my heart sings. And I tried to get my s.h.i.+t together.
"Wow, thank you". I say. "f.u.c.k!, Clara, they named it according to its owner. This isn"t their whole s.h.i.+t! f.u.c.k. Copy everything Steve and delete that one". I say pointing at the one with Clara"s name.
"All done". He beams while Clara carried the laptop back to where it was before."Let"s head out before they wake up". Stephen whispers and walks downstairs while we followed.
On our walk outside to where I parked my car, Stephen halts walking back inside.
"Where are you going! I yell.
"Wait for me... Need to finish what we started.
"Are you guys couple already... Er... I"m so happy for you... You"re cute together.
"Thank you, I blurt." Hey! Not really... Are you kidding me? No!".
"Did I miss something? Stephen asked walking to where we stood waiting for him but stops to remove the white stain on his pants.
"The music? You turned it on! I say almost in a yell and found myself running to where he stood "Thank you, I smile and hug him."You didn"t come in your car so let me do you a favor of driving you home.
The drive was very cool. we told Stephen everything about the DMGIRLS, and what they"ve been doing but to my surprise he didn"t seem surprised as I was, the first time Christy told me about them. He knew already.
Clara was so happy that we opened the roof of my car, standing and yelling into the darkness while Stephen did the driving. We drive Clara home. Now it is Stephen and me.
"Mmm,... I"m still wondering how you made everyone fall asleep, Stephen asked breaking the awkward silence.
"Well, Christy added something in the drinks, except yours, she came prepared as I even imagined. I say as he pulled over in front of his house.
"I"m glad I got to help and hang out with you Lara, I truly hope you... I silence him with the tip of my finger and bring my lips to closer to his." don"t say anything for now" I whisper and he pulled me closer to sit on his lap.
He slowly covers my lips with his, nipping and thrust deeply into my mouth, while I followed every step he takes. his tongue devouring mine and nipping on my lower lip.
My sense flew into the darkness as he puts his hand inside my small crop top, running his hand from my torso to my b.o.o.bs that is still in my bra.
I moan his name as he continues to rub my breast and edged him on. I managed to get rid of his annoying s.h.i.+rt and puts my hand inside his singlet, touching, feeling his chest and playing with his already hard nipples. He bites my lips playfully and brings his head up to look me in the eyes.
"I love you, Lara, I"ve loved you since the day you walked into our cla.s.sroom and also when refused Gabriel"s proposal to kiss him like others were doing in the beer pong game, remember? He asks and I nod." Goodnight, drive safely? Or should I accompany you home?
"No! Goodnight Stephen. That word love scares the s.h.i.+t out of me
