"Come on!" Hunter groaned for the umpteenth time.

He had been trying for a solid two hours to get Celeste to come to Jay's party, just as Madison and Nina had been. She had yet to budge - Celeste was dead set on not attending the party. She was up to her neck in school work and she wanted to get a head start on it tonight, and going to a party would just set her back.

"How many times do I have to say no?" Celeste asked not bothering to look up from the latest novel she was reading. 

"You know we're just going to keep asking." Maddie pointed out.

"So you might as well say yes." Maddie's twin Nina added

None of them understood why Celeste continuously turned down an opportunity to go to a party. Parties were the highlight of their semi-small town life. But Celeste had dreams of getting the hell out of Hilton Valley. She was tired of being stuck in this small town that consisted of a total of four clothing stores, three restaurants, a fire station, police station, town hall, a single church, a hardware store, grocery store and two schools. The local high school and elementary and middle school combined. Let's not forget the theater which had a total of three screens. 

Hunter, Maddie and Nina were relentless in their pursuit to get her to go along with them. They even tried to pull the "Jay-would-be-pissed card" on her to no avail. It didn't waver her resolve one bit. She had said no and 'no meant no'. Their constant begging was starting to get on her nerves. Didn't they have a party to get ready for? Why were they still sitting in her living room pestering her?

"Aaron!" Nina whined as Celeste's one and only brother and family member walked past the living room.

"What?" he asked coming to a stop and looking at the group of four who had been best friends since diaper days. 

"Cece refuses to come with us tonight." Nina pouted; that look always worked on everyone, everyone but Celeste.

"Where are you guys headed?" Aaron asked glancing at his sister; a small smile playing on his lips. She was a spitting image of their mother with her oval shaped face framed with long brown hair, gray almond shape eyes, perfect Cupid's bow lips and straight nose. It always made him smile when he looked at her. 

"Jay's party and we all know that he is going to be pissed if she doesn't show." Hunter said as he leaned his head against the back of the couch and looked up at the ceiling as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. "I do not want to hear Jay's bitching when he realizes that she isn't with us."

Aaron chuckled at them. They were the partyer's of the group while his little sister was content to stay in her world of fantasy. She had been that way since their parents had passed away when she was 11 and he was 18. She would rather sit at home and read than be out and about. But, it was Jay's party after all, and Aaron of all people knew that he would be one pissed-off dude if Celeste didn't show up.

"As much as I don't want to agree with him, Hunter does have a point." Aaron said hoping that his sister wouldn't send him one of her signature glares. Oh wait, there it was. 

Celeste could not believe that her brother of all people agreed with Hunter! They hardly ever agreed on anything and he just had to agree on going to the party. She didn't want to go to this damn party regardless of who was hosting the thing. 

"Shouldn't older brothers forbid their little sisters from going out to parties?" Celeste grumbled and shot at Aaron; all he did was grin.

"Why? I trust you and I know that you won't be doing anything stupid. Plus it is Jay and I don't want him coming here at two in the morning yelling for you to 'get your skinny little ass outside'. Do you really want that drama queen waking you up or would you rather just go to the party for a bit then come home?"

Celeste knew her brother made a valid point. Jay did tend to go a bit overboard. She would expect nothing less when it came to Jay. He was the gayest guy south of Vegas but, she loved him like the brother she was glad she didn't have. Feeling her resolve weaken she sighed and placed her book down.

"Fine, but I am only staying there for a little bit. Just long enough for Jay to get drunk and I am out of there." She said

"Yes!" Maddie and Nina screamed causing Celeste to flinch from how loud (and high) it was. 

"We have so much to do and so little time!" Nina squealed pulling Celeste down the hall and to her room; Maddie hot on their heels.

"And you couldn't have gotten ready instead of pestering me!" but she kept that to herself.

Celeste knew that the next few hours were going to be pure torture. Any time she had agreed to go out to a party Maddie and Nina always Maddie Barbie. Maddie couldn't be more ecstatic about it. It had been months since Cece had gone out to a party with them. She was always so caught up in her books that she never gave a second thought to going out. While Nina pushed a very reluctant Celeste into the bathroom for a shower, Maddie went to work at finding the hottest outfit for her. Tonight Cece was going to outshine the rest of the girls in this town. 

"So what will it be?" Nina asked as she bounced over to her twin. 

"We both know that she will absolutely refuse to wear a skirt or dress to the party. She may have legs that seem to go on for miles at her 5'5" height but, we both know she will out right refuse to wear those." Maddie answered tapping a slender finger against her chin.

Nina knew that it would take up until Cece came out of the bathroom for them to find the perfect outfit. Hopefully Cece wouldn't give them too much trouble on the choice of clothes this time. Stepping around her sister she pulled out a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a skin tight blood red cami along with a black cropped jacket. Cece shouldn't put up too much of a fight with this choice. She laid the clothes out on the bed and went back to grab matching red heels. Now all they had to do was fix up Ce's hair and makeup before the twins could get ready themselves. 

"She is going to look so hot tonight." Maddie commented.

"Yes she will, although she won't be showing off much skin, but it won't matter because the fit will bring out all her curves just right." Nina said.

"I'm finished!" Cece called out as she walked back into her room. "What have the two of you picked out? It better not be anything that will make me look like a slut."

"Are you blind?" Nina asked placing her hands on her hips.

"The outfit is right in front of you." Maddie added, copying her twin.

Celeste looked over at her bed and nodded her approval. To her the outfit didn't look too bad; at least she wouldn't stand out. Most girls would be wearing a lot less clothing; leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination. At least with jeans, a cami and a jacket she would be covered. She quickly got changed into the clothes that her closest friends had picked out for her. Maddie dashed into the shower as Nina got started on Celeste's hair. Maddie had and always would be their makeup guru. 

Nina had everything she need out and ready to go. She used the blow dryer on Cece's hair first to dry out all her natural waves. Once that was finished she used a large curling iron to make large loose curls that hung down her best friend's back. In the time it took for her to do that, Maddie was showered and dressed. All that was left was Cece's makeup. 

Maddie took over where Nina left off as her twin dashed into the shower. Maddie's makeup kit was sitting on the vanity and she set to work. She didn't want to make Cece's makeup too over the top. So she settled with doing a smoky eye, some mascara and blood red lipstick to match the top her friend was wearing. 

"You are... Done!" Maddie said as she swiped a bit of gloss over Celeste's already red lips. "Check it out, while I get ready."

Celeste walked over to her full length mirror that was placed next to her closet. This would be the first time she had ever let her friends go all out on her. Since she was never one to wear makeup or dress up her reflection made her gasp. She twisted her body this way and that; even touching her face. Surely the girl looking back at her was someone else. It had to be!  The outfit covered her body just the way she liked it, but also clung to the curves that she often hid. The big loose curls that fell to the middle of her back felt like silk, and her makeup was flawless. 

"You both are amazing!" she breathed leaning closer to the mirror.

"Yes, we are!" Nina grinned stepping out of the bathroom in a dark purple off the shoulder dress that reached an inch or two below mid-thigh.

"Damn sis, who are you trying to impress tonight?" Maddie questioned as she took in her twin's choice of clothing.

"You're one to talk! Look at you in that tiny blue dress that barely covers that thing you call an ass." Nina joked.

Maddie shrugged off the comment, not caring what anyone thought of what she wore. It had always been that way for her. People could think and say whatever they wanted; nothing would ever change that. As she finished working on her makeup Nina came up and started on her hair. There wasn't much to be done with it since Maddie had the straightest hair out of any of the girls they knew. So all Nina had done was pull her twin's hair into a high pony tail. Nina opted to do her own makeup and simply swiped over her lashes with a tad of mascara and a bit of lip gloss on her lips. 

"Please tell me you girls are ready?" Hunter called out from the other side of the closed door. "The party has already started and I want to get my drink on."

"Let's move it before he throws a hissy fit." Celeste said grabbing her phone and keys off the bed side table. It was going to be a long night she could already feel it.

"I don't know why he's always so darn pushy." Nina grumbled tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

"Probably not getting laid enough." Maddie giggled

"Hardly," Celeste scoffed "He said he was with Dana last night."

"Ew!" the twins shrieked "That. Is. Nasty. Ever heard of TMI?"

Dana was Hilton Valley High's personal bike; everyone got a ride. She never denied the fact either and was for some reason proud of it. The girls filed out of the room to where Hunter was leaning against the opposite wall. Dressed in a dark wash jean that hung low on his hips and a dark gray button up shirt with white sneakers, he pushed himself off the wall and circled around the girls. 

"You three are going to have me working over time tonight." he groaned after taking in their state of dress. "I'm used to the way you two dress for parties, but, Ce, I have to say I'm going to have my hands full with you."

"Why?" she said looking down at her clothes. "Everything is covered."

Hunter sighed, shaking his head. That girl never saw what others did. Even if she was the nerdiest girl in school she was hot as hell! No matter how many times he or the twins told her that she would just blush and deny it. If he hadn't known her all his life and thought of her as a sister he'd definitely try and hit that. 

"Never mind, let's just go." he said and walked down the hall.

"He's right you know." Maddie commented as the girls followed after Hunter.

"Right about what?" Ce asked confused; she never understood her friends sometimes, this being one of them.

"About your outfit, you may be covered but guys are definitely going to be all over you." Nina answered

"I sure hope not!" Celeste stated. She shuddered at the thought of guys being all over her. 

She had little to no experience with guys even though she was already in her senior year of high school. Relationships and one night stands just didn't appeal to her. She had dreams she wanted to chase and guys just didn't fit into that equation as of yet. Sure she had her little crushes, but they never lasted very long. All that mattered to her was getting through high school, going to college and getting her life together. Dance was her passion and books were her hobby. She didn't have rooms for a boy in her life other than her brother. Not including Jay and Hunter. 

"I should have dressed myself." she mumbled

"And deprive us of the chance to make you look hotter than you normally do? Uh-uh, I don't think so." Nina sassed, tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Please, could you stop saying I'm hot or sexy or anything else for one day!" Ce groaned; she hated when her friends said those things. She knew she wasn't the ugliest girl around, but she didn't like when her friends made her out to be more than she was.

"We will once you stop denying it and see yourself for what you are." Maddie agreed, knowing that she had won this one. 

"You're all insufferable!" she grumbled and made her way to the kitchen to say goodbye to her brother.

Aaron was sitting at the kitchen island eating a slice of pizza. Celeste was always struck with the fact that he looked so much like their father. His black hair and blue eyes were always the first thing she noticed when she looked at him. It had been seven years since their parents had died and Aaron had to take on the role of care taker for her. He never once complained that he had to put his life on hold to raise her and she always tried to pull her own weight to remove some of the burden from his shoulders. He was all she had left in the world when it came to family and she would forever be grateful for what he had done for her. 

At the tender age of 18 her brother had the weight of the world placed on his shoulders. He had just graduated from high school and was on his way to college. Aaron had put everything on hold to care for her. Taking a year off to get everything settled then signed up for on-line college courses. Once she was of age she began searching for a job. There weren't very many options in their small town. So she did the one thing that most girls her age did; she babysat for the neighbors. It wasn't too bad since she had always had a soft spot for kids. Just a few months ago she started teaching a small dance class.

"We're heading out." Celeste said leaning against the counter top.

"Have fun and be safe." Aaron said giving her his stern brother look that always made her laugh.

"I will." she smiled knowing that she would be calling him a few hours into the party to come pick her up. "See you bro, love you." she said and kissed his cheek.

"Love you too!" he called after her just before she rounded the corner where her friends were waiting. "We can go now."

"Finally!" Hunter shouted throwing his hands into the air. "Next time you three can meet me there."

"You always say that Hunt, but you never follow through with the threat." Maddie said as she rolled her eyes.

"Plus, no one says you have to wait for us." Nina pointed out.

"No comment." Ce shrugged.

Less than ten minutes later they pulled up to Jay's house. The music was loud and blaring through the house. Celeste could feel the bass all the way to her bones and she hadn't even stepped out of the car yet. She also began second guessing her decision on coming here. It most definitely was not her scene. People were already drunk and stumbling about the front yard and she had no doubt that it would be worse inside. Hunter was the first out of the car and rushed into the house. The twins squealed and pulled Celeste out of the car and up to the front door that was wide open. 

The house was pack way beyond maximum capacity. Sweaty bodies rubbed and grinded against each other in the living room turned dance floor. Celeste had always loved to dance and did so when she could, but watching the way these people were dancing had her cringing away from the living room. 

"You're all finally here!" the unmistakable voice of Jay squealed over the loud music.

"Jay!" the twins squealed in unison.

"Hey Jay." Celeste waved

"Oh hell no, you did not just wave at me!" he said in mock outrage "You damn well know that I do not do waves; I hug!" he stated pulling Celeste into a tight embrace. "Let's get you girls a drink!"

Celeste let Jay pull her through the throngs of sweaty drunken bodies and into the kitchen. The twins pushed through seconds later. They all leaned against the island and watched as Jay worked his magic making them drinks. He was the best drink mixer in Hilton Valley. It's no wonder he was contacted by Bobby who owned the local pub. Everyone in their small town knew about Jay's talents and even hired him to work parties. He pushed three drinks their way.

"Tell me what you think." 

They each took a sip than looked at each other before grinning back at Jay.

"Definitely delish!" Nina said

"Totally tantalizing!" Maddie added

"Absolutely astounding!" Celeste grinned

"Thank you, thank you very much!" Jay said with a little bow.

"What's in it?" Ce asked before taking another sip.

"That my dear little Cece is a secret." he smirked

"Fine don't tell, but keep 'em coming!" Nina shouted with a huge grin on her face; she was so getting trashed tonight.

After two hours of drinking, talking, laughing and dancing the twins, Hunter, Jay and Celeste were sitting in the corner of the living room taking a breather. Hunter and Jay had made sure that the guys stayed away from Celeste; neither of them wanted her to leave just yet. They were all drinking and talking about the Car Wash Fundraiser the school was having next weekend. All seniors were required to participate much to Ce's displeasure. She did not want to be standing around all day washing cars as girls walked around in flimsy suites. That was not how she wanted to spend her Saturday morning.

"Spin the bottle anyone?" Jay asked picking up an empty beer bottle.

"Aren't we a little old for that game?" Celeste questioned, eyeing the bottle in distaste. 

"Who cares, it's a party Cece, live a little!" Hunter cooed nudging her with his shoulder.

"Fine!" she sighed giving in. Little did she know this game would change her life in a way she never though possible.

"Me first!" Maddie shouted snatching the bottle out of Jay's hand. She placed the bottle on the table and spun it. Round and round it went till it stopped on Celeste. "Goody! I've been waiting for this for a long time."

"Lay it on me sister!" Celeste said not wanting to look like a pansy, it couldn't be that bad right? Plus, with her alcohol-fueled courage it wouldn't be too bad.

"You see that chair?" Maddie asked pointing to a chair on the opposite side on the living room in a dark area. "You need to give a lap dance to the next person who sits there."

"A lap dance?" Celeste asked not sure if she had heard her friend right.

"Yep!" Maddie grinned. "There's your mark now."

Celeste looked over her shoulder and sure enough there was a guy sitting there. She took a deep breath and squared her shoulders. This is something she wouldn't ever do normally, but she was slightly drunk and refused to back down. Without a word to her friends she walked through the dancing crowd until she was right in front of the guy. There wasn't much light in this portion on the living room and for that she was thankful. She couldn't see his face and he couldn't see her. She sent a quick text to her brother to come and get her because as soon as she finished this she was out of there.

Celeste moved her body to the beat of the music. Kelly Rowlands' song 'Motivation' floated through the speakers. What a song to be playing right now, she thought. Her hips moved seductively as she inched her way closer to his form. She spun around so her back was to him and shimmied down between his legs and slowly brought her body back up, pressing her back against his chest.

It was safe to say that Nate was in shock. He had come to this party to just check it out. He wasn't on the lookout for anything or anyone. It was barely even five minutes since he got there when some little vixen strutted over to him and began to give him the best lap dance in his life. Not knowing who she was or what made her come over to him, he was frozen. Not to mention he was harder than ever and wanted nothing more than to strip this stranger and take her right in the middle of the dance floor. He had his hands in fists at his sides as she twirled around him running her hands down his chest from the back. One hand trailed along his shoulders as she moved herself to the front of him once again.

Celeste was in her element while she danced for this total stranger. The fact that she didn't know the guys was a moot point right now. All she cared about in that moment was the music and the way her body moved to it. When she knew the song was coming to a close she dropped down in front of the chair and pushed the stranger's legs farther apart and slowly brought her front up along his. 

"Thanks," she whispered into his ear and did something completely out of character to her: she nipped at his lobe. 

Her cell phone vibrated in her back pocket. She straightened herself and turned around to leave. Walking past her friends who sat there with their mouths gaping she sent them a wink and went to meet her brother out front where she knew he would be. She would worry about her actions tomorrow; right now her body was thrumming with satisfaction from the dance she had just given.
