Robin's POV
I feel a slight pain in my back for some reason, but in my sleepy state I pay no mind. I am lying flat on my stomach with my pillow covering my head and my arms stretched like a starfish so that I pretty much have the bed all to myself. Where is Sophie?
Then my mind kinda works and the mystery is solved. I feel her hair tickling my back and I also feel her head on my shoulder blade. An arm around my waist, a knee hitting the back of my thigh and a cold foot touching my calf, cooling the skin off. She is sleeping half on top of me and even though the extra weight is trapping me to bed, I adore how her body is so close to mine. If only we were topless, but I have to follow the rules and sleep not only with pajama shorts but also with a tee. I would prefer the naked version, but this would require sex or lead to it which will not happen of course. But I don't complain, we had fun two days ago so I got my fix.
I take a deep breath now fully awake and I feel her groan too above me.
"Mmm.... morning." She mumbles and clings to me.
"Morning babe, it's early I think... can you see the time?" I ask still with my pillow above my head. I feel her head rise off my body and move a bit. I also feel my skin itch somehow, which I find weird.
"It's 9:34, you woke up early, babe. Why?" She comments and lies back on her previous spot.
"I have no idea, baby girl. Let's go back to sleep for some more." I mumble and close my eyes again. The arm around my waist starts drawing patterns, making dozing off easy as hell.
"Mmm... Ro... I don't think I can go back to sleep." She puffs and then I feel her arm move from my waist to my shoulder and a pair of lips on my skin. Then pain comes.
"Son of the bitch!" I yelp and my body jerks pushing Sophie away from me.
"Ouch." Sophie mumbles somewhere next to me but I am in a frenzy.
I sit up on the bed and reach for the lamp on the nightstand in a heartbeat, to turn on the light. "Motherchuker!" I continue the profanities and I proceed by starting to take my tee off slowly.
"Ro, what the hell? What is it?" I hear Sophie speak but my body is in pain and too warm and too itchy. In seconds my t-shirt is off and I turn my back to Sophie. "Oh my god." She gasps and I know that it ain't good.
"How bad it is? It feels awful, is it awful?" I ask kinda concerned. I had sunburns before but none of them has hurt that much. "Do I have to go to the hospital? Sophie, answer me!"
"Oh my god... oh babe... um..." She makes out and after I feel the bed sink a bit, I feel her fingers on my skin.
"Shit, that hurts. Ouch!" I groan again and try to avoid contact.
"Oh babe I am so sorry I didn't mean to hurt you." She says concerned.
"How bad is it? Tell me, I can take it." I say bravely.
"Um... it's... red... the whole thing. Like really red... oh babe..." She starts again not helping me at all with her vague answer.
"Wait." I say and get off the bed. I run towards the big ground mirror next to the wardrobe and the moment I turn around to see my back, I grimace. "Fuck my life... this looks awful. Shit." I groan once more and with shoulders dropped I walk towards the bed again pouting.
"Ro... you were supposed to put sunscreen on! I have 3 bottles of it! I told you to use it yesterday, but nooooo, you wanted to use spray tan! See? That's what happens!" She scolds and I glare at her.
"Sophie, I wanted a tan, how was I supposed to know I would end up like this? It didn't hurt at that time, I felt nothing." I reply fuming at how stupid I was myself.
"Ro, you are whiter that the freaking fake snow white! Your skin needs its time with the sun, you can't go and put spray tan like that! You are supposed to use sunscreen with the highest protection! I specifically explained to you how bad sunburns are like 4 days ago!" She crosses her arms around her chest.
"Ok, ok, listen, I know it was stupid of me but I wanted to get some freaking tan alright?! And fyi you can already see the difference from my tan, look at my boobs, they are whiter than the rest of my chest, I have some tan thanks to the spray." I say and get up to show her my chest. "See? Also look at that." I continue and take of my pyjama shorts. "see? My legs have a tan too, look at the difference. The spray works, I was able to get a freaking tan, so how was I supposed to know yesterday would fuck me up?" I retort lowering the hem of my hipster undies to show her the tan but she eye rolls, clearly uninterested.
"Ro, if you remember correctly yesterday you stayed at the pool from 12 to 4 and then walked around without a tee, just your bikini top, while the previous days we took a swim around 4 and I always applied sunscreen on you a bunch of times and we were extra careful. But you stopped me from doing so yesterday." She puffs annoyed. "Also put something on, it's distracting to see you like this and your tan is barely evident." She narrows her eyes I am confused with the raised voice.
"Why are we arguing over me having a sunburn? I am confused, it's early and I am in pain." I blurt out and sit on the bed again sighing.
"We are not arguing, babe, I am just scolding you, 'cause if you had listened to me yesterday, now you wouldn't be in pain like this. Sunburns are serious, and you don't need a tan, ok? You are perfect like this, white as snow white, there's nothing wrong with that, I am kinda pale too, I don't tan easily." She comments as a matter of fact.
"But babe, a tan is sexy, imagine me naked, won't it be super sexy if I had a slight tan in all the right places?" I pout again. Last year I managed to get a good tan and I really liked how good I looked naked, plus with my blonde hair and my style in general I looked like a freaking indie queen. I was so ready for fucking Coachella! I got 2 minor sunburns last year but that was worth it... it got me a few compliments from some hook ups I had last year, so I figure why not this year? Besides if I got a slight tan now, then I would avoid a sunburn during summer vacations, sue me people, there's some logic in my thinking.
"Um... I would be ok with a slight tan but you are red Robin. Red!" She points at my back. "And put something on, that's the last time I say it, it's distracting and we are not alone in this house." Her eyes fall to my boobs and then back up to my eyes.
"I am wearing nothing, it hurts, babeee, do something." I whine and fall on the bed on my stomach. "Make it go away baby... it itches a bit."
"Fine, you dork, stay here, and don't move." She chuckles and I feel movement. She is off the bed and she opens the blinds, making the room super luminous. Then I hear her rummage through bags and her mumble to herself and chuckle definitely at the situation.
"Stop laughing at me, Ford, or no sex for 2 weeks." I threaten her but she chuckles louder. Why is it that no one takes my threat of withholding sex seriously?
"Yeah sure, Ro... you are so gonna make that threat come true." She mocks me but soon I feel the bed dip next to me. Then I feel I slight peck on my ears. "I am not making fun of you, baby, I just don't like the fact that now you have to suffer like this, 'cause make no mistake, this is gonna be a pain in the butt, no pool for you today or exposing yourself to the sun." Her voice gets this mother-authoritative spark and I eye roll but feel lucky to have that scolding. She is cute when she is worried about me.
"I know... don't ever let me do something stupid like that...it really hurts, and I hate hurting. Kiss it better?" I look at her, face on the mattress while she is sitting up with her legs crossed looking all smug and all.
"I will kiss it better later, now I have to apply aloe Vera, ok? This will cool you off for a bit. Tell me if it hurts too much, ok sweetie?" I nod my head and wait for salvation. The moment her hands touch my shoulder blade, I feel in heavens.
"Oh baby that feels so good... so cold.." I moan at the contact. This is really working, my skin feels cooler and the throbbing kinda stops.
"Dork." Sophie laughs but continues applying the cream lower.
"Ahhh... I feel in heaven, you are so good, babe, keep going." I murmur again and close my eyes at the feeling. "I am so happy right now, this is awesome, I love you, you rock." I continue and she continues laughing.
"Well, I know, but let's not let that happen again, shall we?" Her hands move lower on my waist and I giggle.
"That tickles, stop!" My body jerks a bit at her movements.
"You are making helping you difficult." She scoffs. "Hold on a sec." I open my eyes the moment her figure disappears from my periphery and I feel weight on my butt. Oh... ohhhhhh... she is sitting on my ass. Sneaky Miss Ford.
"Getting comfortable aren't we?" I mock her and she smacks my forearm slightly.
"I am easing the pain, be grateful." She scolds me yet another time.
"Fineeeeee... you are light as a feather so go ahead, baby girl. Chop chop." I close my eyes again as she goes back to business. Her ministrations somehow make me sleepy again and the relief I feel from the sunburn creates an euphoric feeling. I could definitely fall asleep like that. I yawn loudly and Sophie chuckles again but I think I am dozing off 'cause my body feels light.
But then... then there are fingers in dangerous places that make me wake up for good. Sophie is still applying aloe vera cream but now she is applying it to my ribs and her hands go higher than my ribs and her fingers brush my boobs.
"Sophie?" I murmur swallowing hard.
"Yes..?" I hear mockery on her voice.
"My ribs and boobs are sunburn free." I tell her proud of my resilient 'cause if we were home, I would definitely turn around, sit up, push her on the mattress and give her the best or-..
"I know, but just in case I think I should apply in this area too, you never know." She replies absentmindedly. Don't tempt me, Satan.
"Sophie, I will say this only once. You are diving in dangerous waters right now, and I cannot be blamed if you find yourself pinned on the mattress moaning, so either you stay strictly away from my boobs or continue and enjoy the consequences." I say voice stern but she laughs. She is tempting me.
"Sorry, sorry, ok, I will keep away from your chest area." But then she leans forward and kisses my cheek. "Is the cream helping?" Her voice creates goosebumps on my skin.
"Yeah... it is, do we have yogurt in the house?"
"I am not putting yogurt on your back, I paid a ton of money on creams for sunburns, I will not use yogurt." She says stubbornly.
"Fineeee, I will ask Emma, she will definitely help me with that." That was a low blow, but I am dying to see how she will react.
"Meanie. I am your girlfriend, not Emma. You are mean, stop teasing me." The pout is there, I am fucking sure, so I move under her and she lifts a bit off my ass so that I can turn around. I turn around and sit up in a quick move and grabbing her by her hips, I make her straddle me.
"Good morning." I say simple and she squints her eyes.
"Good morning?" She is confused and I chuckle.
"I didn't tell you I love you when I woke up, did I?" I continue and her eyes sparkle in seconds. She lowers her head and her fingers trail my collarbone.
"No, you didn't, I am hurt, and... your shoulder totally hit my jaw when you got up groaning in pain." She raises her head and her pout is freaking adorable.
"Aww, babe, I hurt you? Oh I am so sorry." I put my arms around her waist.
"Yeah, but you didn't hear me complain, instead I am applying my super expensive aloe Vera cream on your back, but you want Emma to yogurt you, you are ungrateful, Summers, I am hurt." I try to shuffle a laugh, I do, but I can't keep it in.
"Aww, you are right, baby, I am sorry." I don't sound as genuine as I hoped I would because she is crossing her arms around her chest and she puffs. "I will not let our FRIEND Emma 'yogurt me' ok? You are the only one who gets to do that." This is lit, people, I can't believe I am talking about yogurts and creams with a slight kink subtext.
"Ha, ha, ha, very funny." She feigns annoyance but the small smile on her face didn't go unnoticed... at all. I start playing with her t-shirt and occasionally sneak my hands under it.
"Mmmm... well, how about I make it up to you for hurting your flawless jaw, huh?" I remark and her eyebrow is raised.
"That sounds good." She smirks.
"Perfect, but first I think we should totally get even." I wiggle my eyebrows and look at her tee. "This has to go, ASAP. I am naked, Ford, it's only fair." I smirk and she shakes her head disapprovingly, but then, well then, she sighs and in seconds her tee is off. I am super glad she has somehow adopted my mentality of not wearing sport bras during sleep and sleep half naked instead. Well we kinda slept topless before we started having sex, and after sex was established and we spent the night together, we do end up naked, but during our staying here, we have to wear t-shirts, but thank god she is not wearing anything underneath. I can take the non sex rule somehow, but I don't think I can take not feeling her skin in every way. It's so damn soft and smooth and cozy, and warm... I love sleeping spooning her and sneaking my hand on her stomach or her boob. That thing is super soft, I have woken up a few times with my hand on it, I swear I am not doing it on purpose, the hand has a mind of its own!
"Are we even now?" She asks cheekily.
"Hmm... yep, we are good." I lean forward to steal a kiss. We start kissing softly at first, you know, nothing too hot, mild stuff, but soon things start getting heated and my hands travel across her back and my nails scratch some skin lightly. The moment Sophie starts a slow pace of grinding, it is the moment I know things will definitely take an interesting turn. I leave her lips and launch to her neck making her moan faintly and then I proceed to cupping her boob with my hand as the other one holds her by the waist.
I am about to start talking dirty and forget about the rule of no sex with freaking people in the freaking house when everything goes down the drain, 'cause following my moves and deep in her making out phase, her hands fly to my back as well.
"Holy strawberry!" I yell and she jolts off me in shock.
"Oh my god, Ro, I am so sorry!" She brings her hands to her mouth and she looks like a kicked puppy. I nod tearing up from the pain and raise my hand. I take a few deep breaths as we sit in silence.
"I should probably go get the yogurt now right?" Sophie tries one more time.
"Yeah... that would be good." I say in one breath, my skin is fucking burning damn it.
"Ok... I am so sorry babe..." I nod but still unable to say make long conversations. "I will be back right away." She turns around and walks to the door.
"Wait, babe, wait." I call for her and she turns confused. "You should probably wear your t-shirt." I point at the piece of cloth on the floor. "Can't have Grant ogling you, maybe the others are awake." I explain and in her alarmed state she eye rolls at me, but reaches for the tee and puts it on.
"Do you have any preference in yogurt? With peach or strawberry? I think we might have blueberries too." She asks once clothed and if my skin wasn't throbbing, I would tease her to death for her not so bright question.
"Plain, babe... plain. The Greek one." I say and after a short nod,she leaves the room. Once alone, I fall face on the mattress and muffle my loud groan on the pillow. I have zero pain intolerance, I don't know if normal people are that in pain with sunburn but to me it feels like I am being roasted. "Fuck my life, seriously, red looks good on me in clothes not in sunburns, dear Buddha!" I groan again and wait for Sophie and the yogurt sighing in annoyance. Can't I ever have freaking uneventful vacations in this life? What else is coming my way?
Vanessa's POV
"Nessa! Have you turned on the iron?" Emma shouts from the hallway.
"Yes, Em!" I shout back checking once again as she steps into the room with her hair still wrapped with a towel.
"That's why you are the best bestie in the history of besties! Will you do my hair too?" She approaches me while batting her eyelashes in the most dramatic way.
"I will." I answer at her smiling.
"Just like old times!" She wraps her hands around my waist and lifts me up abruptly, a move that leads us both on the floor laughing. "I've missed us, Nessa! Even though my butt hurts a lot right now. Thank God, our fall had style and it was almost harmless. Ouch!" She frowns as she rubs her butt.
"My butt hurts as well. And I've missed us too." I tell her chortling. "But you had to bail on me and move on another continent."
"Aw, someone is getting a little whiny!" She pinches both my cheeks like she always does. "You know me, Nessa. I am not the most rational human being. I am not good at making reasonable decisions. I am good at making crazy ones. Now, get your pretty little butt from the floor and let's get ready. The others should be by now." She stands up first and stretches her hand to help me get up as well. "And we can't stall more than Nina. You've heard the guys, they always complain about that."
"Knock, knock!" I hear and we turn to look at the door, where Robin is standing, smiling at us, but totally not ready for clubbing.
"Hey, why is my batgirl still in her pjs? You gotta hurry up, girl 'cause the guys will eat us all alive." Emma says as she unwraps the towel from her head and starts drying her hair with it.
"Well, hot stuff, batgirl's back is pretty bad, and she is kinda bummed about it... so I am here to tell you that you guys have to go partying without me and Sophie." Robin sighs walking towards the bed.
"Say whaaa?" Emma throws the towel at me and sits on the bed gesturing to Robin to sit next to her. "Oh man, this looks bad!" She says after taking a look at Robin's back by lifting up her t-shirt.
"Yes, this looks kinda bad indeed, Robin. You should take care of it. Have you used any appropriate cream or something? I think I might have brought the one Emma uses when she gets sunburned." I remember putting it on the suitcase, I immediately go look for it.
"And that happens a lot." Emma says nodding her head. "But not this time. Haven't you used sun lotion, Ro? You're almost even whiter than I am. We whites have to take extra care of our precious complexion."
"Hey, I just wanted a little tan, alright?" Robin eyerolls, "but yes, Vanessa, Sophie pretty much put every cream she could find on my back. She came prepared." she chuckles, mentioning her back. "But like I said, it stings a bit and I lost the party vibes."
"Well, we cannot go party without you! I say we're staying in." Emma shrugs and looks at me waiting for my answer.
Robin beats me to it. "What? No you guys, you don't have to do this! Besides, I have Sophie with me, she said she is tired and bored... and... um... I could... catch up with my girlfriend... via phone... I have things to do... I mean, we will get bored.. but you guys can go.
"Yes, for sure. If Sophie stays with you, she can keep you company and help you in case you need anything. We'll see you guys in the morning." I have completely forgotten that this whole spring break situation must be really tricky for Sophie and Robin. They have barely had some privacy.
"You mean you're in the mood for phone sex, huh?" Emma raises an eyebrow at Robin smirking. "We've been here for 4 days already and that's quite a lot time without action for you. I get it. If it was me, I don't know what I would do. But for me it's only been a couple hours so-"
"Em!" I look at her with eyes wide open. "Too much info!"
"What, Nessa? We are human beings with hormones!" Emma raises her hands up apologetically. "I still can't understand why your girlfriend let you come here and spend spring break alone. Anyway, you call her now. If she's available, we'll let you do your thing. If not, we're staying. She has bailed on you for this long and you're not gonna stay in whining over her. 'Cause if you ask me, she doesn't deserve it, Ro. Go on, call her now." Emma proposes as she has zero knowledge on who Robin's girlfriend is. Things are about to get complicated. I mean, more complicated than they already are.
Robin kinda looks at Emma dumbfounded and a bit awkwardly, but she does get her phone out of her pocket and dials a number. She puts the phone in her ear as we wait for the 'girlfriend' to answer... which does not happen, of course. "Um... she is not answering." Robin sighs and ends the call.
"Hey, lose that attitude! Time to cheer up! We're staying in and we're gonna have a blast!" Emma points a finger at Robin.
"Em, um..." I should come up with something but I am out of ideas at the moment. "I don't know if this is a good idea."
Emma looks at me surprised before bursting into laughter.
"Don't tell me you don't wanna miss your night out now. This means you are not gonna make my hair either so turn off the iron. Seems like it is your lucky day." She says winking.
"But Em-"
"Ro, we'll join you in a bit." Emma tells her smiling, stands up and drags me a few steps away. "Nessa, what's up with you?" She whispers. "This is really important. We have to stay in. When a friend needs you, you stay by her side. And Robin is more your friend than mine."
"I just think that we-"
"You're still protesting over this?" She cuts me off again. "Let me say it elseway, so you get the importance of this situation. If I had a douchebag for a boyfriend and he has been totally mia, letting me all alone on spring break with a bunch of drunks around, ignoring the fact that we were indeed into a relationship and that anybody could hit on me anytime, what would you do?"
"Um, I-"
"You wouldn't act the way you are now. That's for sure." She eyes me intensely. "What would you do?"
"I guess I would make sure you have fun. And not think about him that much." I answer shrugging. Things got out of hand.
"Exactly. That's what we are going to do for Robin." She tells me beaming, satisfied with my answer. Emma is the sweetest and has good intentions. It is the fact that she doesn't know about Robin and Sophie's relationship that has created this whole mess.
"Excuse me, girls. Can I borrow the iron, because mine broke down? I am in the middle of a crisis here." Nina emerges at the door's footstep, wearing a tight black dress making me and Emma end our private conversation as we turn to face her, along with Robin, who is still in the room with us looking a bit confused with the whole situation.
"Sure thing. We won't need it after all." Emma reaches for it and hands it over Nina.
"Why? Natural look is great on you, but you can fresh it up a bit." Nina remarks.
"Thanks for the tip but we are actually staying in tonight so I'm gonna give my hair a break. It has been continuously traumatized by the iron these past days." Emma says while tying it in a ponytail.
"Girls night?" Nina high pitches, clapping her hands. "I am so in! Gossip, boys and sex talk!"
Robin tilts her head and looks at me with widen eyes and then back at Emma and Nina. "Damn, that went down the drain fast... girl night it is." She shrugs and shakes her head, clearly resigned.
"I am telling Alice. She can't miss that! I have to tell Matt and kick him out of the house with the rest of the boys somehow." Nina smiles mischievously and leaves.
"Seems like everything is settled!" Emma states enthusiastically.
"Yep, I better go get Sophie... She will be soooo happy about this." Robin grimaces and leaves the room, heading across the hall, with her head hanging low.
In about ten minutes, all us girls are in the living room getting comfortable on the sofas. The boys are long gone now. I don't know if that was their intention or if it was Nina who made them leave. They'd probably left willingly, why would they want to lose a chance to go partying? Meet new people, blend in and have fun? And maybe do more than that. Who knows. Us girls though are not so obsessed with partying as I can see. I mean, I think I needed a break from partying. I am not used at it and we have been doing the same thing for three days in a row now. Robin got sunburned so there's that. Sophie wouldn't let her alone, plus she is not known for being a party freak. Probably, they had imagined this night to play out in a different way and I feel a bit guilty for not doing much to prevent it, but Emma can be quite persistent. And she seems so happy to be helping a friend. Because in her mind that is what we are doing now. Nina is really excited for our night in without the boys. I think she is the most excited of us all. And last but not least, there is Alice who yes, loves partying but I guess she had no problem staying in. Could Nina have made her stay in? I don't think so. And let's not forget that Alice didn't want to come here for spring break a couple days ago so what would she do all alone with the boys? I think she'd prefer staying in with us instead.
"Hey Sophie, where does Joseph keep the booze?" Emma asks as she opens the upper cupboard in the kitchen.
Sophie looks sceptical for a bit before she answers. "Um... not in the kitchen... please tell me we will replace anything you guys drink?" She asks in agony. "Laureen will not be pleased, and Harry really doesn't like people messing with his collection."
"You know what, you could use a drink too, just to loosen up a little. I honestly can't tell when you're joking and when you're talking seriously." Emma says as she keeps searching at the rest of the cupboards. "If it is not in the kitchen, then where is it? Nina, can you take a look at the breakfront over there? Maybe, you'll get luckier than me."
"Found it! Look at that! Scots whiskey. God! Look at the year! It must be really expensive!" Nina exclaims, holding a bottle.
"Yes it is, so can you please put it down and take another one... a cheaper and recently made, one?" Sophie pretty much begs Emma and Nina.
"Yeah! Joseph's dad must really love a good scots." Nina remarks, while Alice comes to take a look at Harry's collection as well. "Vodka check, tequila check..." Nina rattles off taking out different bottles.
"I think we're ok." Alice takes the bottles and puts them on the small table in the middle. "Robin, are we going to make shots?" Robin looks up from her spot on the couch and after a quick glance at Sophie, she gets up and joins Alice, heading to the kitchen area.
"I am so sorry for tonight." I find the chance to apologize to Sophie as the others are debating over the amount of alcohol they are going to use for the shots. "I guess you guys had other plans." Sophie just sighs a bit before giving me a small smile.
"Yeah... well, that didn't go as planned, as we see.. but that is ok, I guess... we can all bond.. it's no big deal." She rests her head on my shoulder and puffs slightly. " I think Robin is not so pleased... I think this secret is tiring for her."
"Oh, you mean..." I look at her and then at Robin who gets a high five from Emma after she drinks the first shot. "Robin knows that this is all new for you and she understands. I think it might be tiring for her sometimes as it can be for yourself too, but I believe she is actually willing to wait till you are ready." Sophie sighs heavily again and links her arm with mine for comfort. She seems like she has been struggling with this thought for a while now.
"I know... but that's not how I imagined it would be... you know.. our first spring break... we don't even hold hands... I miss that."
"That must be hard but-"
"Booze is ready!" Alice announces, getting into the living room, holding a tray with shots.
"Tequila shots! Great! Salud!" Nina takes a glass and stretches her arm, waiting for the clinking.
"Come on, Nessa! Don't be a party pooper! Grab a shot!" Emma gives me an eyeroll as she sits on the floor across from me and Sophie and Robin who has just joined us. "You too, Sophie."
"Actually..." Robin looks at Sophie and then at Emma, "I will take Sophie's shot.. she doesn't like to drink." She winks at Emma taking 2 shots from the tray.
"If you're drinking your bestie's shot, I should drink Nessa's as well but," Emma points a finger at me, "Nessa, you are drinking it. At least this one. We are doing this for fun. Come on!"
"Okay. But only this one." I point a finger back at her as a warning and take a shot as well.
"Let's drink to this memorable girls' night and to the vacations, that never end." Alice raises her shot and we all follow her example.
"It burns." I say shaking my head after drinking the shot. "And it tastes awful. That's why I don't drink. Yikes!"
"This is a girls' night so thank you for making an exception. You should have seen your face! That thing you do with your nose whenever you don't like something is so funny!" Emma remarks chuckling while I shake my head once again trying to get rid of the unpleasant feeling.
As I stated in the beginning, one shot was more than enough for me but the girls seemed not willing to stop. After less than an hour, they have already drunk enough for Nina to look once again at the breakfront where the Nelsons keep the alcohol. Everybody seems to be in quite a mood since they are laughing loudly with Emma's european stories. Now, it might be because I have already heard about them but I don't find them that funny. I think Sophie shares my opinion. We stand there kind of confused seeing our friends drink and laugh while Robin has rested her head on Sophie's shoulder. They are so cute, I never get enough of them.
"So," Emma raises her one hand up to gather everyone's attention, "I know I am an excellent storyteller but I have been talking about myself for a God knows how long now. You gotta spill the beans too, ladies. Time for a game! What do you think?"
"Yeaaaaaah!!!! Let's play 'Never I have ever'. Let's find out any dirty background stories." Nina exclaims, giggling and all of the girls shout from excitement, except from me and Sophie, who opted out. "First question. Something light for starters. Never have I ever lost my virginity in a place other than my bedroom."
"I'll ask question number two." Emma says after taking a shot, which Alice does as well. "Never have I ever, um... had sex with someone whose name I didn't know."
"Innocent children." Robin chuckles and takes a shot, while the rest of us don't. Robin shrugs a bit looking at Sophie. "Well, I found out the name the morning after... and I still don't remember it till this day... next!" She exclaims and nuzzles closer to Sophie.
"I always knew the name, not only by the person himself, but also from acquaintances or friends. So my few one night stands had a full name and last name and a couple of times a middle one." Nina chimes in, still giggling.
"Hey, you've ruined a potential question, Nins! The one night stand one. But good for you for always know the basics. I always wanna know the name too so I can like scream it loud out of pleasure or give the poor guy some guidance." Emma states playfully and then turns to Alice. "Alice, your turn!"
"I really love a guy, who knows how to pleasure a lady." Alice giggles to Nina and her face becomes dreamy. "It's not so hard to find the spot."
"I can't believe what I am hearing tonight." I murmur silently and Sophie gives me an empathetic nod.
"Ok, my turn. Never I have ever been walked in by parents or any family member." Alice smiles.
"Make it multiple family members." Emma drinks up. So does Robin and Nina. "Nessa, do you remember that one time when I was this close to lose my v card and you walked in my room to do our homework together?"
"Oh my God, how could I ever forget?" I immediately facepalm replaying the scene in my mind. It was sort of traumatic and I am certain I changed in a million colours.
"It never gets old!" Emma chortles and rests her head on the table. "You go, Ro!"
"Finally... never have I ever had sex with a guy. Drink, bitches!" Robin raises her hand in the air. Everyone except from me and Sophie drink a shot. Do they find this fun? For real?
"My turn again! Never I have ever kissed someone of the same sex." Nina raises an eyebrow. "Drink up, Ro!"
"Fucking finally! Thanks Nina!" Ro drinks smirking and then goes closer to Sophie again.
"I'll join you, girl! Hand me a shot, Nins!" Emma lifts up her hand waiting for Nina to give her the said shot. Wait, what?!
"Excuse me, I know I am not participating and actually I have never participated in such a game but you drink when you have done what the person just said. Right?" I ask frowning.
"Why else would I drink, Vanessa? I am gay!" Robin remarks giggling. "And hi five me, Em, I love you! Kissing girls is awesome." I think Robin is tipsy.
"You can add that to the things I've done in Europe. I couldn't tell you via skype, Nessa. I wanted to see your reaction live." Emma raises her shot at my direction chuckling before drinking it.
"Okay." I blink a couple times letting them go on with their game. Revelations are made as it seems.
"My turn, yeah! I need a break from drinking. Never have I ever had sex with more than one person on the same day." Emma eyes at the others suspiciously until Robin drinks another shot. I think Sophie stiffens next to me.
"Wow! How many?" Nina asks intrigued.
Robin chuckles but nods at Nina and winks at Emma. "Two actually... and not a threesom... Emma's question was vague. I had morning sex with a girl, and then I slept with another before midnight."
"I bet it was at a party." Alice chimes in intrigued as well.
"Not really, I just met the second girl at the coffee shop and we talked a bit." Robin explains.
"You met her on the daylight and had her in your bed by night? Girl, you got game!" Emma compliments her impressed. Sophie on the meanwhile, gives her a glare.
"I believe we got enough info. Isn't it Alice's turn?" I chime in hoping to put an end on Robin's narration of her wild days.
"Yup, it's me. Let's see, never have I ever had sex at school." Alice says curious and the rest of the girls take another shot. "Ok, name the specific place, now!"
"Janitor's closet." Robin shouts excited.
"The bleachers. Double check for outdoors as well." Emma states cockily.
"Locker room." Nina chirps.
"Ok, ok, my straight friends! My turn!" Robin shouts again. "Never have I ever sucked..." she is about to say something but she grimaces a bit and then continues. "....a penis." She ends and laughs on her own.
"Hey, lesb queen, you're playing dirty." Emma gives her a fake smile. "And we sure need more shots." She adds complaining but Sophie stops her.
"Um... I think Robin has had enough." Sophie turns and takes the glass from Robin, who just looks at Sophie smiling.
"Pretty." I hear Robin murmur as Sophie lowers her head and puts her arm around Robin's shoulders.
"Um, yeah yeah!" I decide to talk as loud as I can to cover her talking. Even though I believe everybody is too drunk to notice. "I think you've drunk enough, girls."
They actually didn't follow my friendly advice and they kept on drinking and giggling for a fair amount of time. Some more bottles from the Nelsons' collection have been consumed, causing Sophie some mini heart attacks.
"Yeah, maybe we should stop now before our head begins to spin and we throw up." Emma suggests and abruptly gets up. It might took them a while but they've come to their senses.
"One last question please." Nina begs in her drunk state. "Let's spice things up. Never I have ever had dirty thoughts about somebody from all of us in the house, except Matt." Nina looks at us mischievously. Alice drinks the shot without hesitation. I didn't see that coming. Emma is the next one as she takes a shot from the table and drinks it eyerolling. I didn't know that either. It's a good thing Sophie and I didn't play from the start. I am kind of relieved the rest of the girls were focused on drinking that they didn't make us play.
"Wait!" Robin shouts again and sits up straight. "I need to drink too." She goes for the drink but Sophie stops her.
"Robin, no." Sophie scolds her but Robin keeps reaching for it.
"But we have to drink, too...Drink, Sophieeee." Robin chuckles once again.
"Um, Sophie, I think it's better let her have that drink." I give her a meaningful gaze and then add in a lower tone, "she's getting pretty chatty." Robin is definitely drunk and the truth might slip from her mouth in any second.
"Just let the girl drink, Soph! She is having a lot in her plate right now. Drink up, Ro!" Emma encourages her.
"Um... no Emma, she really shouldn't." Sophie glares at Emma but then turns to Robin who is smiling weirdly again. "Robin, no more for you, ok? You are drunk." I don't think Sophie notices it when she tucks a hair behind Robin's ear... and just like that, Robin obliges and drops her head on Sophie's lap. Crisis almost avoided for the night.
"I hit a jackpot!" Nina claps her hands happily with her achievement. "Alice, spill the beans now! Who's messed or is messing with your brain?" Alice is drunk as well, but not in Robin's state. She can't stop giggling and her face has a daydream expression.
"I don't think I can say it!" She hesitates, without stopping giggling.
"Come on, Alice! Share your dirty secret!" Nina pushes her. She is completely drunk as well.
"It's indeed a dirty secret." Alice chuckles. Nina's eyes widen in anticipation. "It's Joseph!"
"What?" Nina shouts. "Oh my God! How did I not see this coming?" She seems pretty excited with this revelation. My reaction is blink a couple times. Let's not forget that Alice almost didn't come to this very house which belongs to Joseph. Well, let's just say I, for sure, didn't exactly see this coming.
"Oh boy, I do not need to hear this." Sophie facepalms and Robin chuckles at Sophie's reactions.
"Since when? Spill the beans!" Nina demands.
"Shut up, Nina! I don't know!" Alice hugs a pillow tight.
"And what do you know?" Nina raises an eyebrow.
"I know he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, his face has perfect edges and I have come to adore his cocky smile." Alice admits with dreamy eyes. We are all jaw dropped.
"Okay?" I look at her frowned as a brief laugh escapes my lips. There's a lot of revelations taking place tonight.
"Another girl enchanted by the Nelsons' good looks." Sophie shakes her head eye rolling.
"Well, Joss is super hot! And let's praise his gorgeous body as well!" Emma winks at Alice playfully.
"Did you refer to Joseph too?" Nina turns to Emma.
"That could be the case but," Emma makes a little pause to grab another shot from the table -how many have they made?-, "um, I was referring to Grant!" She facepalms. "I know, I know! There's no logic in it!"
"Um... duh! He is an ape! Oh my god, Emma, no... ew." Sophie makes a disgusted grimace and Robin giggles again.
"I know, I know!" Emma repeats as she takes the shot. I hope it is her last. "But he is kind of, hmm... He has..." she moves her hands in the air, "He is not that bad, is he? Or maybe I am totally wasted!"
"Objectively speaking Grant is great looking, but unfortunately he lacks manners. But he is not a bad guy, otherwise why would Joseph and Mattie have him as a friend?" Nina ponders. "You should know Emma that my sources say that he's really good in bed."
"Hetero don't." Robin groans from Sophie's lap. "Unnecessary hetero info."
"Sorry Robin, but my duty is to inform people." Nina says seriously. "If you like it dirty and you like a real beast, then Grant is your type." Nina winks at Emma. "I think you can make a good pair. You're crazy, he's crazy, you both aren't the restriction kind of people. You can have a lot of fun."
"I don't know! He is so not my type!" Emma exclaims frustrated. "But still there's something about him. As you said, I am crazy!"
"I don't think Grant is that bad. He seems like a decent guy." I burge in the conversation shrugging.
"I don't think he's bad either." Alice shrugs as well. "Oh God! I think I am too wasted!"
"Okay girls, how about putting an end to this lovely night now and go to sleep? I think it will be good for us all." I hope they accept my proposition, otherwise people are going to start puking into the living room in any second.
"But we didn't gossip about Nathan. We can't exclude him." Nina simpers.
"Perfect smile, perfect abs, perfect butt. Seems like nature has been too kind to him!" Emma says chortling. Oh we're really going to do this.
"I know, right?" Nina agrees. "I know I am in a relationship, but I am not blind. Plus he's a celebrity campus. Alice and Joseph took me to a game of his."
"Don't get me started. I didn't know what it was worse, your gossip on every single player or the fact that we lost by this shitty team?" Alice groans, but then giggles again as the alcohol get the best of her.
"But I didn't recall you telling me anything about Nathan. Were you too mesmerized by Joseph?" Nina puts her hands under her chin.
"He's good looking for sure, but I think Joseph is better." Alice argues in her drunk state and Nina chuckles.
"Sophie!" Robin says out of nowhere, but then nothing else comes and she lies back to Sophie's lap.
"Okay, okay. Let's all go upstairs, ladies!" I stand up gesturing to all of them to do the same. It's been a long night and if the conversation goes on, I might be forced to comment on Nathan's looks and I'd rather not. Emma gives me a hug and literally hangs on me to get her to the first floor. Sophie is the one to help Robin do the same while she looks at her smiling like a fool in love. Nina and Alice are the last to stand up laughing really loud. Once we reach our bedrooms we all jump on our beds and after a couple minutes not a single sound is heard, sign that everybody has fallen asleep already. What a night.
Robin's POV
"Stop tickling me, I have to apply my make-up." Sophie complains standing in front of the mirror with her mascara. I laugh and let her be as I check my outfit one more time. Black short shorts that leave nothing for imagination and a sleeveless white see-through t-shirt along with my black chucks. I refuse to wear high heels 'cause we will be dancing to the end of time tonight and I hate suffering. Speaking of suffering, my back still hurts but not as much, so I guess the yogurt and the aloe Vera really worked at the end.
"Looking good there hot stuff." I tease Sophie standing next to her. She is wearing black jeans even though it's hella hot outside, and a silk electric bottom up shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Her hair is loose and her lips are red unlike my dark pink ones. She is, of course, wearing Toms, which is a slight upgrade from her oxfords in this setting.
"You look good too." She stops applying the mascara and, turning her head, she pecks my nose.
"Yo girls, we are ready to go!" Emma yells behind the door.
"Be out in 2!" I yell back and turn to look at Sophie in the mirror. I get behind her and put my arms around her waist waiting for her to be over, and I revel breathing at her perfume. She is wearing one of my favorites on her, the Burberry classic that her cousin Julie got her for Christmas. "Too bad you put lipstick on, I can't kiss you now, we would make a mess." I pout against her shoulder.
"I know, but be patient, the night will end soon... in 3 hours... can't we just go for like 15' minutes and then come back? I am fed up with the parties." It's her turn to pout adorably.
"No, we cannot skip, it may raise suspicion if we both leave, don't you think?" I say and feel a tag in my stomach. To be honest, this week kinda tired me too much with the sneaking and pretending that we are just friends. It was kinda ok for 2 days when we babysat Ben but now, six days in, I am getting tired and sad mostly, like last night. I wish I could just hug her and hold her hand whenever I want... but it is Sophie's choice and I don't want to fight again about it. No matter what I feel, I left it on Sophie. She calls the shots... I just wish she had called the shots already... it's not like Emma, Nina or the boys would have a problem... I mean Emma asked me about my girlfriend already and Nina is super sweet, she won't have a problem and Matt is an angel... I will not talk about Grant 'cause he is an exception in all this, he is bound to say something lame I am sure. Thank god he hasn't tried anything stupid with Sophie so far, I would totally put aloe Vera in his food. No one messes with my girl, but I can't defend her anyway, it would look weird, like I am the obsessed Sophie's lesbian friend secretly in love with her. I am trying so hard to cool it down, but how am I supposed to do that when she is wearing her cutie swimwear or she is sunbathing? It's getting lonely in the closet again at times like this. I can't believe I almost blew our cover last night, the drinking games are not for me when I am holding a secret.
"Fine, but no getting drunk again." She comments and stands straight. "C'mon, I am ready." She walks past me and, grabbing her purse, she walks out of the room. Taking a deep breath, and scolding myself for having a pity party in my head, I turn around take my purse too and get out.
**************************************
Damn my glass is empty. I grimace and turn to look at Sophie, who is playing angry birds on her phone. "Hey Soph, I am going for a refill, want anything?" I ask as I notice her glass is empty as well.
"Um... I will have another glass of wine, thank you." She answers and I get closer to her to grab my purse from the stool. Her hand flies to my back for a moment as I lean forward and a jolt of electricity hits my body. Damn, I am buzzed. One last mojito and I am going back to beers. Absentmindedly though, and out of habit, the moment I stand straight and before I step back I lean towards her cheek for a kiss but she leans away. In realization of what was going to happen, and knowing that the others are kinda next to us, I look up and see her panicked face looking ahead, at the direction of Nina and Matt's. I look at them too in panic, in case they saw us, but thank god they are kissing.
Pfff crisis avoided. I almost had a heart attack for fucks sake!
Then I turn to look at Sophie.
"Um... be right back." I mumble and she nods frantically. Can't say that didn't hurt my feelings, but that's exactly what I will pretend.
On my way to the bartender, who happens to be on the other side of the bar, I notice Emma, Vanessa and Alice dancing, Grant talking with some girls a few feet away from our table and Nathan and Joss standing next to him engaging in conversation somehow. I have to say we are an attractive group of people. Objectively, we are the hottest here. Out of the outfits in our group, I think Vanessa wins the award of best dressed... look at that miss Adams, you got a few guys' attention, including one guy in particular but I won't get into that, I am tired of eye rolling! Emma comes second best, the girl she has a European breeze to her, she rocks. Kudos to her. Alice is sexy looking too and she got a few whistles herself.
As I pass by the boys though, I hear Grant calling my name loudly over the music, so I turn.
"Yo Robin, get your gay ass over here!" He raises his arms animatedly and points at the girls he is talking too.
I raise my glass in air and point it, so that he sees I am going for a refill. Then I turn to look at Sophie, who must have heard Grant call me, 'cause she is giving him death glares. I chuckle at the image and turn around to head to the bar, but the moment I turn though, I see a blonde girl eyeing me a few feet away with a scowl in her forehead. I pay her no mind and pushing through people, I reach the bar after 3-4 minutes or so. This place is crowded as fuck.
I place mine and Sophie's order and after another 10 minutes of waiting, I get our drinks. I walk back to our table holding the drinks on air, but someone pushes me and makes me spill some of the wine in my shoulder. Fucking great, now it's gonna stain. Fuck my life. I march forward the table and after I put the glasses down, I look at Sophie and point at my shoulder.
"Some dimwit made me spill wine on my shirt. It's gonna fucking leave a stain." I groan and Sophie chuckles.
"Um... oh, you can take a few napkins from the bar or you can ask for a wet towel... actually go get a towel and then we can go to the bathroom and clean it. I'll help." She points and I nod. Damn, something is always happening, what the fuck, I hate how clumsy I fucking am. Sighing I turn around again, following the same route to the bar, and after another 5 minutes and holding a towel, I make my way again to the table. The others seem to have gathered around it, talking to each other. Damn how long was I gone for?
A few feet away from the table though, I feel a hand on my forearm tagging me. That makes me stop and I turn around to see what's wrong.
The same girl that eyed me before is now standing in front of me. She has blonde hair to her shoulder, bright blue eyes and really dark red lipstick. She is wearing shorts and a crop top along with a red unbuttoned flannel.
I eye her too 'cause she is not saying anything.
"Um... can I help?" I ask narrowing my eyes.
"Probably." She says and takes a step closer to me. Um... what?
"I am not sure I follow..."
"I am Kayla." She states and stretches her hand.
"Robin." I say but I don't indulge her handshake.
"Nice name... sorry for the straightforwardness, but I heard your friend call your and I quote 'gay ass' and well... I thought we should talk... or dance..." My eyes widen at that in realization. Ohhh no... damn it.
"Um... well, I am really flattered... but I... I will pass." I say giving her a smile. That doesn't stop her though.
"Um... I am sorry I thought you were gay."
"Oh trust me, I am as gay as it gets." I chuckle and she does too.
"Then why not?" She insists playfully.
"Um... I have a girlfriend." I tell her shrugging... I really hope said girlfriend is not watching this right now, 'cause it will def ruin the mood. C'mon girl, just leave me alone.
"Oh... too bad... where is she though?" She asks again smugly. Ok, this is ridiculous.
"She is not here, and I am sorry, I am really flattered but I have to go back to my table, now." I say kinda coldly. Like hell imma tell her the story of my life, I just want her to leave me the fuck alone so that I can go back to my table. Please lady, don't continue this.
"Oh so you are here without her? Dump move... if I were your girlfriend, I wouldn't let you out of my sight... a hot girl like you catches people's eyes. I would be extremely jealous." She tilts her head and her hand flies to my forearm again.
"Listen this is getting out of hand, ok? This is none of your business, so I would appreciate it if you just stopped. I told you I am not interested and I guess you have never heard the word 'trust'." I tell her furiously. I don't even know why I am indulging her in conversation right now but she called Sophie dump, ok, so I have to defend her I guess. I can't stop it, I swear.
"Or maybe she doesn't really care about you that much... I mean if she leaves you alone in a place like this, maybe she doesn't care if you cheat on her, people come here for a reason after all." Her words make me this close to lose my nerve. Damn my kind nature. "C'mon, I am here, you are here, she is not... she doesn't have to know.." She whispers the last part and leans forward my cheek, and I do notice that the towel is no on the floor instead of my hand.
Her movement takes me by surprise and I am kind frozen in my spot unable to move and push her away, plus the mojitos I had, make my head even more cloudy, which explains the whole conversation I started with her. I never should have answered her question, damn it.
As I watch her lips get closer to my cheek, I am about to say something, probably lame... but I don't get the chance.
Sophie's POV
"Hey, where is Robin?" I look up from my phone and look at Vanessa.
"Oh she is..." I stop as I realize that it's been more than 10 minutes since Robin left, and that now everyone is in our table again, taking a break from dancing.
"She is over there." Grant gestures with his head and I look at the direction he pointed at. My eyes squirm in an instant as I see her blond mane and her back turned to me and another blond girl touching her hand. What?
"Um... doesn't Robin have a girlfriend... dude... I never begged her for a cheater." Grant says and my jaw clenches. Shut the fuck up,you idiot.
"Oops..." I hear Emma make out next. "Well it is spring break, who leaves their girlfriend alone, her girl had it coming!" And now my fist clenches... I don't hear Vanessa or Joss speak, but I am sure they are saying something comforting... all I see is this girl getting closer to Ro... my Ro. That's it!
I get up abruptly, making everyone look at me like I am crazy or something.
"Excuse me." I say and without looking at them I march towards Robin. When I get closer, I can make out the things the girl says and my anger is out of charts.
"Or maybe she doesn't really care about you that much... I mean if she leaves you alone in a place like this, maybe she doesn't care if you cheat on her, people come here for a reason after all." And then I watch her lean closer to Ro's cheek.
Ro is just standing there, but I can read her posture. She is stiff I can tell, and caught by surprise. This ends here.
The moment the girl's lips are a few inches away from Ro's cheek, I speak.
"I'd suggest you get the fuck away from my girlfriend." I say and she stops mid action. The words surprise me too. In seconds the girl leans back, and Robin turns around looking on edge.
"Babe this isn't ..." she starts but I raise my hand and stop her. My eyes are on the girl, who now looks intensely at me.
"Back the fuck away from my girlfriend... I won't say it again." I clench my jaw and squirm my eyes, hoping I don't look ridiculous like right. This has never happened to me... I have never threatened anyone seriously like that. I hope I look threatening somehow. The girl puffs and eye rolls but after sparring us a last glare, she turns around and walks away, leaving me and Robin alone. We stare at each other while people around us dance to a song I know... 'How deep is your love.' Ironic I supposes, 'cause the logs in my brain work and a momentarily dose of courage guides me.
"Sophie... I.... i wasn't flirting with her... I swear, she just couldn't stop talking saying things about my girlfriend and I just had to make her shut up... I don't even find her attractive, I swear, this was a misunderstanding, I am not interested in her... I would never che... I would never do that to you." She says in one breath and I know that now is the moment. I take a step forward and I cup her cheeks smiling at her as I say nothing. "Are you mad?" She asks looking sad and I shake my head... And then blocking everything else and everyone else out, I kiss her.
She is unresponsive at first, shocked, but after a few seconds, she kisses me back too with everything she has and at this moment I feel brave... I feel like a badass! She is the one that stops the kiss and cups my cheeks too, giving me a shocked stare.
"Soph... we are in the middle of the club." She points and I nod. "There are people around us... people that saw us." She continues nervously.
"I know..." I tell her simply. "And now they know that I am your girlfriend... and I feel proud of that." I say still feeling like the queen of the world. Her eyes widen at that and in seconds she gives me the brightest smile I have ever seen from her... her happiest smile ever... and I feel proud I did that too.
"You just came out of the closet... I mean... we went public...." She remarks and caresses my cheek tenderly. "Are you ok?"
"I feel like a badass for a reason... free." I say grinning like a wolf. "I feel amazing." I say again and she is the one to kiss me passionately now and giggle into the kiss.
"I love you so much, Soph." She whispers after the kiss. "You made me so happy." And then proceeds to hug me tightly.
"I love you so much too." I hug her back and we get lost in our world. A world of our own, till she pats my back at some point and we break apart.
"I can't believe you actually cursed the girl! Babe, that was so badass!" She comments giggling.
"Well, she was being an idiot and she was touching you without your consent, I had to act!" I say firmly.
"Or you just got insanely jealous." Ro retorts grinning smugly.
"I did... because you are my girlfriend and I should be the one to flirt with you, not strangers." I end my speech eye rolling. I know I have showed her a few times that I don't like girls hitting on her, but she is not mad or anything... I just really hope I don't act like her ex... I know in great details a few things, and I do know she was way too jealous... I just hope I am not making Ro uncomfortable with that...but I can't help it.
"Excellent choice of words, babe, couldn't have said it better myself." She gives me a sweet smile. "Let's face the music, miss Ford. Are you ready? I see the group is really shocked right now." She comments and points behind me.
"If I am with you, I can face everything now." I tell her and I turn around. We take a step towards our table and as I walk next to her, I slip my hand into hers. The ape is the first to talk, with eyebrow raised.
"Shit... that explains why you always turn me down. Man I can't believe it!" He says and I glare at him.
Joseph's POV
Finally Sophie did it! It was about fucking time to let herself out of the closet and reveal who she really is. It must be liberating. Her face is glowing, as I observe her being lovey-dovey with Robin. I haven't seen her that happy since when we were children, and her parents took her to the White House. Afterwards, she had been acting like the USA president for a whole week, getting on my nerves, since she was ordering me around (of course I didn't do any of her annoying demands), but I made her drop the role, when I served her a tea with salt. I chuckle at this amusing memory.
Robin deserved to be with someone, who acknowledged her and thankfully Sophie showed her true colours, by defending not only Robin but herself as well. It was about time, you stiff.
My eyes move from the honeymoon couple and fall as always to her. Alice! My girlfriend. I still feel the word strange coming from me, but I didn't think about it much when it slipped through my lips the other day, when that jerk played his lousy moves on her. Like he had any chance!
I watch her dancing with Vanessa, Nina and Emma. Her moves are sexy and sensual and she owns the dancefloor. She's so hot when she's moving her hips to the music rhythm in her white shorts , matched with a white halter neckline with a deep cleavage. A victorious smile crosses my face, that this cleavage is permitted only to me and no one else. I wish I could move my body among with hers, touching her hips, her ass being rubbed against my dick.
As I am gawking her, transmitting her confidence vibes, I can't help it, but bring back to my mind our day at the beach. It's still surprising how such a fiery woman can be so vulnerable sometimes. I know that Alice can pull anything on her own, but I appreciate those moments, that she lets her mask aside, and shows to me what's hidden under it. She confided her insecurities in me, something I know it wasn't easy for her to admit, but I managed to erase them. I felt like defeating a difficult boss in a complicated video game. I know the comparison is lame, but I don't know how else to describe it, since I haven't felt and done something similar before. I have no clue why, but I feel this unexplained need to take care of her. To make her feel adored and safe.
Right now, she has put her insecurities away, letting herself get lost in the music. As she's dancing, she throws dirty glances at me, biting her lips, inviting me in. She's such a teaser and I love that about her. I feel my erection come to life instantly. All I want to do is grab her in my arms and take her somewhere remotely, where I will rip off her clothes and make her scream of bliss.
"She's so fucking hot the way she's dancing." Grant's voice interrupts my thoughts,next to me.
"Hot? Who?" I ask confused, since Alice has taken all my mind.
"Emma! She's hot and crazy! That's an irresistible combination." Grants drools, without taking his eyes off Emma.
"Let's stay with crazy. And she has a big mouth. And she is beyond annoying." Nathan eyerolls.
"Big mouth is not necessarily a bad aspect." Grant remarks, making us chortle.
"Good luck with that. She seems to despise you more than me for that matter." Nathan comments shrugging.
"Emma despises you?" I ask surprised. "I thought she was incapable of that!"
"She what?" Nathan raises an eyebrow annoyed. "I believe that is not the case. But if it is, I guess I am just the exception."
"You will have Grant's company shortly, if he keeps latching on her like that." Matt chimes in.
"FYI we danced at a party and I almost got her. But I missed for like 10 minutes and then I found her dancing on a table with a bunch of strangers. I shouldn't have gone to the bar for those fucking drinks." Grant complains.
"When did that happen?" I ask astonished.
"I guess I was wrong and I am alone on the top of her people-I-hate-list. Persistence is the key, man." Nathan gives Grant a high five. "But be careful not to cross the line. By the way, Joseph, was that a rhetorical question? We've barely seen you since like day one." He says smirking.
"Nathan's right dude! I get it for Matt, who's been busy with his sweet/hot girlfriend. But you? What you've been up to?" Grant asks as well.
"You know me, Grant! I am on full schedule on spring break." I smile mischievously to him, trying to avoid any further questions.
"Well, we ourselves are extra busy, yet we happen to see each other around from time to time. You on the other hand have been mysteriously MIA, my friend." Nathan pats me playfully on the back.
"Girls just can't enough of me, man! What can I say? I am an irresistible guy." I answer to him as my eyes find Alice again, who is dancing dirtier than ever, playing with her hair and giving me seductive glances. She's playing dirty, since she's aware I can't do anything in the presence of others. That prohibited sensation is a turn on for sure. I want to take her from here now!
"I can name one girl this rule doesn't apply for. And you have been gawking at her since we got here." Nathan states lifting his eyebrows. Is that obvious, that my eyes are fixed on her? Of course it is. She's licking her lip, while she's moving her hips, driving me crazy.
"Can you blame me? She's fucking hot!" I answer to him and Matt chuckles. That bastard! Only Grant is looking clueless at us, with confusion painted all over his face.
"Who are we talking about?" Grant asks.
"Nobody!" Matt replies. "Keep gawking at Emma." He points towards her.
"Yeah, keep gawking at Emma, Grant. You do have only one day left." Nathan remarks smirking, while keeping his eyes on me.
"She is playing hard to get. I hope she's not playing for the other team, like Sophie and I am wasting my time here." Grant frowns, looking at me for any clues.
"Honestly, I have no idea. She had some flings of male gender in high school, but I don't know if she's been doing any experiments in Europe." I shrug and I pierce my eyes on Alice once again.
She has stopped dancing and walks with Vanessa and Nina to our table. Emma is dancing with a bunch of strangers. I guess that's her thing.
Alice waves her hand in front of her face to cool herself and later picks up her hair in order to get rid of the heat. Maybe she doesn't realize it, but I love that gesture, which leaves her neck exposed.
"Well, that leaves an open window for a threesome." Grant comments,making me return to the boys' conversation. Matt eyerolls, as every other time he listens to Grant.
"You can keep dreaming about that in silence since we are about to get company really soon." Nathan states with a cocky smile pointing with his eyes at some girls who sit across us and are looking at us giggling.
"Who's Emma again?" Grant sniggers, looking at the three girls, who can't take their eyes off of us.
"It's remarkable how immovable you are on your preferences." Matt points out sarcastically, making us all chuckle. My eyes as always return to Alice, who's talking to Vanessa, but still throwing me seductive glances. Since you want it dirty, who am I to disappoint you? I take my phone at hand from the table at once.
I can't stop thinking about my hands on your body, after this hell of a sexy dance. I text her.
Alice simpers to the text, when she sees it and her captivating eyes find mine. Then she starts typing.
"Here they come." Nathan says as he locks with his eyes the brunette who is coming towards us along with her two friends.
"I guess my presence in no longer required here." Matt says, watching the chicks coming closer. "I am going back to my beautiful girlfriend." He informs us and leaves.
"Hi, I am Sheela." The brunette approaches Nathan first.
"Well, hello Sheela, I am Nathan." He stretches his hand for a handshake that lasts too long.
"Nice to meet you, Nathan!" She says chuckling as he brings her closer still holding her hand. "This is Mary and this is Rita."
That moment my phone vibrates.
I imagined your body attached to mine and your breath on my neck.
Oh God! That woman. She has turned me on for good and after this text neither a cold shower nor a dive in the cold sea can help me. I type as fast as I can my next text and I lock my eyes with hers again. Thankfully Grant and Nathan are occupied talking with the girls, so they don't pay much attention to me.
Oh baby you have no idea how badly I want to kiss that beautiful neck of yours and feel your body under my hands. I hit send.
My body is craving for your touch. Some specific spots demand it immediately. I see her sitting in a tempting position, by leaning her head and biting her fleshy lip.
I want to lay you down on the bar and make you scream. Sent.
Do you dare? She's looking at me tantalizingly, undressing me with her eyes. I am sure.
You know I am not joking, so don't tempt me. I smirk.
That's my life purpose. It's such a great pleasure knowing that you can watch, but you can't touch. She's such a sadist, but she has set me on fire for good.
Meet me out now. We will see who's going to beg at the end. You have no idea, where you have gotten yourself into.
"Is your hot friend timid or something? That's why he is not talking to us?" A female voice echoes in the background of my mind.
That second, I feel a hand bumping me on the arm. What the hell? I raise my head from my cell's screen to see Grant glaring at me.
"Dude, Rita is asking you a question." He points towards a black haired girl, who's longing for an answer.
"Well, handsome? Why aren't you joining us?" She asks me. I should come up with an excuse now, like the other times. Why me, Joseph Nelson, who hits on girl after girl, doesn't want to hit on one now?
"Unfortunately our friend Joseph has already plans for the night." Nathan chimes in and raises an eyebrow at me. "But don't worry, we will try to make it up for you, girls."
"You better do." Sheela eyes Nathan from head to toe.
"Will do. Definitely." Nathan tells her smirking. "Why don't you girls let Grant escort you outside? I'll be right there."
"Don't be late. I like your friend, but I like you more." She says winking at him.
"I won't." Nathan reassures her and before they disappear with Grant, he whispers at him, "Try to behave yourself and talk as less as possible."
"Ok dude!" Grant nods at Nathan. "Let's go, beautiful ladies." He escorts the three girls outside.
"You almost ruined the whole thing, man. So I hope your reason is worth it. And that all this texting wasn't for nothing. And that she is hot enough 'cause Rita sure is." Nathan tells me pointing at my cell phone.
"I can assure you that she's totally worth it. Rita isn't half as hot as the girl I am exchanging texts with ." I tell him firmly.
"Fine. You go have fun then." He lifts his eyebrows playfully at me. "And before you do that, make sure our girls are not left alone. There are drunks everywhere. Make sure Matt has his eyes on all of them." He semi-commands in a serious tone before he leaves.
"Don't worry! I will make sure Matt will be the guardian of Vanessa..." I take a long pause and Nathan eyes me intensely. "And Emma. Alice doesn't need a bodyguard." I remark casually. Anyway, Alice won't be staying longer here.
"Yeah, you know that better than anyone." He tells me smirking and with that he gets lost in the crowd.
A few moments later, I look at Alice meaningfully and I go out of the club. Thankfully Nathan and Grant are nowhere to be found, so they must have already taken off. After a while, Alice gets out and the instant I see her, I drag her on me, attaching my body to hers and locking our lips.
I let the kiss heat consume me, as I close my arms tight around her. My mouth explores her, while our tongues mix and the kiss deepens. I hate and love the effect she has on me and the need I have for her. I have never felt that attraction about anyone. I wanted to be the one who's being craved. Now here I am at a place, I'd never thought I would.
Our kisses become more and more intense everytime our lips touch, like my need for her. We never get bored of each other, which I find strange and original at the same time. Our lips part, in the need for some air, as we pant loud on each other's mouth. Alice smirks mischievously.
"You're going to pay for tonight." A confident smile, crosses my face and without waiting any response from her, I drag her with me.
I should find a completely isolated and dark place. The things that I have in mind are better not to be displayed publicly. The beach has too many people. Drunk, but still people. Maybe the car is a good idea. It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's a desperate times call kind of thing.
When we arrive at the parking lot I am about to search for the rented car. Good luck finding it in the darkness...
"Am I going to wait long for this payback?" Alice speaks. "I think you're just words."
Her comment drives me nuts, like the times we first met, when every one of her quips, was a challenge to me, provoking me to answer suitably.
I turn around instantly and I scoop her up, in my arms. I support her on a dark wall, while my mouth is already on hers. I kiss her without letting her take a single breath. Her legs wrap tight around my waist and my hands on her hips. Now that I think about it, screw the car. I can do what I have on mind at this very dark spot.
I put her long legs down from me, so I can set my plan on pleasuring her properly on action. Oh baby, you're going to love this. I lower my hand to her cleavage, leaving soft kisses on her skin. She moans and runs her fingers through my hair. I love when she does that.
My tongue trails on her bare skin, making her breath heavier and my dick even more harder. I take aside the white fabric from her right breast and I suck her hard nipple. She lets out a gasp of bliss. She adores having me taking care of her boobs with my tongue and fingers. She confirms me, by taking my hand and place it on her other breast, under her blouse. My hand caps it and I apply the appropriate pressure, in order for her to enjoy it as much as I am.
I take my head from her breast to look at her, as I continue giving her moments of satisfaction with my hand. She's such a sight. It's the most beautiful and sexy view I've ever witnessed.
"You're so beautiful!" I whisper and she smiles warmly. Then I dive again in her cleavage. I raise her blouse to lick her flat stomach. I suck her belly button, something that I craved to do since the first time that I saw it. It's so fucking hot. I kiss all the area fiercely and I stop a bit looking at her centre. A smirk crosses my face.
"Joseph, please don't stop..." Alice's voice is pleading and full of desire.
I bring down her shorts at once and my eyes widen at the sight of her lace thong. Holy fuck! She's so wet and ready for me. I take aside the fabric and I kiss the area area under it. I goose her exposed ass, while I suck her pussy and taste her wetness. Alice lets out a scream, making me more eager to tease her more down there. Her hands grab my hair and then grab tight my shoulders, as I lick her more sensually and bite her centre. I know she's close. I can feel her legs unsteady next to me and her pant more intense.
"Please Joseph, keep going... I am so close..." she begs.
Yeah baby! That's it! My tongue finds her sensitive spot down there and she lets out another loud moan.
"Right there! Don't stop!" she screams and I smirk, fully aware she's on the verge. As she's about to feel herself losing her ground under her feet, I stop and stand up.
She gives me a puzzled look.
"So close and yet so far..." A mischievous smile spreads all over my face.
"That's low, even for you." She crosses her arms.
"You said yourself you waited for a payback. Who am I to disappoint you?" I put my hand on the wall next to her head, leaning closer.
"You're such a sadist." She says a few inches from my mouth.
"You should have know where you were getting yourself into." I tuck her nose playfully. She locks her eyes with mine and we share an intense eye contact.
"Baby, of course I know what I am dealing with. If you are not willing to satisfy me anymore, I can do it on my own." She shows me her hand and she starts rubbing herself at the spot, where my tongue was taking her to heaven a few seconds ago.
What's going on here? I thought I had this under my control. The goal was to drive her crazy for what she did to me at the club and after a bit of begging I was going to give in to her. The tables are turned now. Not only my game failed, but she's the one driving me crazy. The sight of Alice pleasuring herself is way better and way more alluring than I have ever imagined.
But no! I am going to be the one, who's going to make her cum and scream. Not her.
I grab her hand, still rubbing her and I pin it on the wall over her head. Then I dive once again in her centre. I suck it and lick the spot that makes her scream the most. I keep teasing her by biting a bit and then suck more. Her moans and breaths make me nuts. She makes me lose my world. Then her legs start to tremble and her pant become faster. She releases a loud moan and I taste her orgasm's juices.
Once her breathing comes back to normal, I place a soft kiss between her legs and I stand up. It's the most amazing feeling seeing her like that, because of me. Alice raises her shorts and dresses her naked body. A victorious smile is all over her face. Anything seems so new with this woman. Whereas I think I have the upper hand, yet she proves me wrong. Everyday I discover more reasons to be infatuated by her. Life isn't boring with Alice Reynolds around.
"You've won a battle, but not the war." I warn her playfully.
"It's always a war with us, huh?"
"You wouldn't stand it otherwise." I smirk and she knows I am right, by the smile I receive.
"Will you stand what am I about to do right now?" She smirks mischievously and she unzips my jeans.
Suddenly we hear laughter and talking. What the hell? Wait a minute... This voice is familiar. I hear it clearer as it comes closer. Fuck, it's Grant! Why is he here? I look at Alice and by her expression I know she has recognised the voice as well. Unfortunately that's our cue that our fun is over. We are in no mood to be caught by Grant. The teasing and his interrogation will be endless.
"Let's leave, before he sees us." Alice grabs me by the hand and I nod. Fuck you Grant! I was about to receive a blowjob, by the most glorious lips.
After a while we get back to the club, where nobody seems to have noticed our absence except Nina, who throws suspicious glances to us. After one hour we decide to go back home, even though Grant and Nathan hasn't returned.
Emma is wasted, while Nina and Alice giggle non stop being on the good side effects of the alcohol. I believe that Alice was more cheerful and eager to drink after our make out session. She looks more drunk than Nina, at least. I have to admit she's adorable and hilarious when she's drunk. I hear Sophie murmur 'Not again', looking at the girls and when I ask her, what she means she tells me that they were drunk yesterday as well, because of a stupid drinking game they played. That's the reason she keeps Robin at bay from alcohol tonight.
I help Vanessa move Emma, but suddenly Nina shouts, among her giggles.
"I think Joseph should carry Alice." What?
"Nobody should carry me. I can walk perfectly on my own." Alice tries to walk straight, but she flips on her high heel shoes. I instantly leave Emma's side to catch her, before she reaches the ground.
"My hero." She whispers in my ear, making an unwitting smile appear on my face.
"It's settled. Joseph will help Alice. Matt help Vanessa with Emma." Nina orders Matt, who huffs, giving me a warning look.
Finally we return home and after carrying Emma and Alice to their room, I am ready to let myself enjoy hours of sleep. Suddenly my phone vibrates.
"I can't wait for another parking lot session. I still feel you down there baby. Goodnight." I smile at Alice's text, before I answer.
"Soon. Goodnight!"
