I hope you enjoy this one

It was Friday night. We all were aware what that meant.

Time to party.

"The fun never wears off.  I mean after all those years of parting you would think we must have had our fill." Jack commented as we made our to the parking lot from Whitney's.

It was an annual thing in our town to celebrate after a swim competition, well after an everything competition. Even the losers attend. No reason to miss lots of fun by being a sore loser!

Everyone was pumped up in adrenaline. They all just looked happy like a pregnant chipmunk.

Who am I kidding? I've never seen a pregnant chipmunk before.

" You girls go get ready, we'll meet you at Kate's in an hour or so." Jerry instructed before getting  in the truck and driving away.

The drive to Kate's was slow and sleep inducing. By the time she woke me up we were already at her place. Her parents were not around so we took the stairs to her room to begin preparation.

My bad.

To watch her throw clothes in all directions as she tried to find an outfit for the night.

At last she managed to secure an outfit that was deserving of her time.

"What's the point of going shopping if you're not comfortable wearing any outfit to the party?"

" There's this thing called dress the part. Have you ever heard of it?" She glared as she begged me to do her hair." You see, there are clothes for going out, for just sleeping and all other events I don't have to explain that."

"Yeah, whatever."

I ended up wearing denim shots with a shirt typed The dark side is the good side in Ariel Black and a black leather jacket paired with white vans. I didn't need much to look good.

Clarke said her mother was home so she couldn't make it. Her mother did humanitarian work in Congo so she didn't spend much time with her, whenever she got the chance she was thrilled to. Maive on the other side was babysitting her younger brother Kyle and couldn't make it either. It was just Kate and I and the boys.

The party was already at peak by the time we arrived. What better time to crash than at the climax? Heading inside, Jack went to get me a glass of what I was assuming was shots. A group of guys were performing body shots but I was in no mood to lick someone's gross sweat. I found an empty couch at the corner of the room and sat there as I watched the people do crazy stuff.

" You can't be just sitting here while people are having fun." Jack slurred.

Man he was already drunk.

"What's your idea of fun Jack? Playing truth or dare?"

"Doesn't matter. As long as its not just sitting alone and looking like I carry the weight of the entire world on my shoulders. Come on."

He held my hand and dragged me to a circle of teenagers who were playing something that resembled never have I ever.  Kate had already ditched us. I had no idea where she went. I was not the designated driver so I had no reason to not get wasted. As we joined the circle the twins sat on either of my sides.

Let the game begin

After a couple rounds of never have I ever, the group suggested we do spin the bottle. A girl spun the bottle and it pointed towards Jerry.

"I dare you to take Ryn upstairs for 5 minutes." The girl said.

Jerry's eyes bulged out. He was terrified and it was funny. With shaking hands, he led me upstairs to one of the empty rooms and ushered me inside. His face resembled an overly ripe tomato by the time I sat on the empty bed. He silently followed suit and sat at the furthest corner of the bed not meeting my eyes.

I bet that's what Nate would have done too. I smiled.

"So... ". Jerry attempted conversation but words failed him. He opened his mouth again but nothing came out.

" You know, the girl said take me upstairs. She didn't say do anything so I'm surprised to see your terrified look." I chuckled.

"Usually when they say that, something is meant to happen." He said scratching the back of his neck and looking anywhere but me. " They will want details."

"Do you want something to happen." I pressed purposely making him more uncomfortable.

"Well maybe, I mean no..I don't know." I laughed then ruffled his hair in time for Jack banging the door open.

"Five minutes have been over for quite sometime now." He glared at my hand in Jerry's hair.

"We were on our way there Jack. No need to be angry." The twins looked at each warily then Jerry stomped off to go back to the party leaving me behind with an angry Jack in tow.

"So I'm not good enough for you but my brother is."
He sounded like a jealous boyfriend.

That just made me smile.

"You're smiling?" That came more like a question.

"Its funny how jealous you are. Do you still like me?" It was long since we talked about him liking me." I thought we already established that we can't be together! "

"But you can... With my brother?" Drunk Jack was a feely one. " I mean..were practically alike, besides he's more nerdy than I can ever be. You told me you didn't like the good ones last time. I'm more bad ass now." He was smiling now.

" Your brother and I were just talking, you of all people should have known."

"You were touching each other what was I supposed to think?"

"So I'm not allowed to touch people now?" This was getting borderline possessive.

"I've been trying to stop thinking about you Ryn. I have. But damn is it difficult. All I think about is just kissing those lips, even if just for a single night. I want to put my fingers in that mass of red volume and just tug it all night long. I want to do a lot of stuff to you and for you but unfortunately the only thing I can is watch from afar. You think I haven't noticed you looking at that Nate dork when you think no one's watching. I notice all those little things Ryn because I like you its killing me."

"Jack.....

" No Ryn no. You don't get to silence me. I won't have it. You think I love the feeling of liking someone who doesn't like me back? Huh! Look at me. You think I do? You think I want to pine after you like the loser that I am. I just...give me one chance to show you that you can be happy with me, that I am worthy of your love...anyone's love. Everyone sees me like the funny guy nobody takes me seriously. I want to feel alive for once in my life."

"That's enough Jack, stop, please. I know you like me alright I get that. And I like you too...just not as much as you do. And I don't enjoy seeing you suffer. But that's just who I am. Bad, heartbreaker, heartless call me whatever you want. But for the first time in my life I  want someone in a way I thought I never could and I don't know what to do?"

" I don't believe you. You're just saying that to make me go away."

" Which part? That I like someone else or that you and I can never happen. "

" You don't know that! There no way to unless we try. I don't understand what you see in him anyway. "

He drew closer our faces were almost touching. Just one more step and we'd be locking lips. He caught a tendril of my hair and twirled it between his two fingers. His eyes were an azure blue and he held my gaze like his life depended on it. With a tip of his fore finger he lifted my chin up, I could feel his hot breath on my lips.

If only things were different. I wouldn't mind kissing you Jack.

" I heard that. See...even you can't fight your attraction." He was now smiling. I didn't know I was thinking out loud. He traced his thumb on my bottom lip and I trembled my breath hitching.

"Let's pretend things are different as you say...for now. For one night. "

Then he planted his lips on mine for a few seconds and drew back. The look on his face was of pure lust. Desperate to have more. The next thing I knew my palm connected with his face then I grabbed the collar of his shirt and slammed my lips to his. The kiss was desperate and hungry. His hands were allover my my body and mine tugged his hair as he released a breathy moan. I shifted my lips to his neck where I left a trail of sloppy kisses to the spot where I could feel his pulse and sucked hard. That earned me a loud moan.

I stopped. Then burst out laughing at Jack's flushed face.

"You are such a girl."

With that I left the room and banged the door on my way out.

A few kisses and you're breathing like a strangled cat.

Poor thing
