“I’m Sara,” she says with a bright smile.
I rake my eyes over her body, liking what I see. She’s clearly confident. She’s not shy in talking to me like so many others are, she knows how to move her body, and damn it’s a sexy one at that. Yep, she’s perfect for tonight.
“Do you need a drink?”
Sara bites down on her lower lip as her eyes greedily rake over me. “I need so much more than just a drink.”
My mouth pulls up in a half-smile, liking her energy. “Why don’t we start with a drink?”
She nods and I break away, heading for Lauren’s dining table that’s been overtaken by bottles of alcohol, tubs of sodas, red cups, and snacks. I get busy pouring her a chick drink and as soon as that’s out of the way, I find something for myself.
I pick the cup up off the table and turn to make my way back to Sara when something stops me. I spy a girl sitting on the end of the dining table cross-legged, making herself at home with a bowl of candies and ignoring the party around her. My eyes narrow at her. Who does that? It’s a fucking party.
I go to walk by, but find myself holding back. Why does she look so familiar? I try to figure it out but come up blank, yet I can’t let it go. One thing is for sure though, this girl is fucking stunning. Sara’s got nothing on her.
I make my way around the table and she clocks me with my first step. The closer I get, the narrower her eyes become. “Ummm…yeah?” she grunts suspiciously, not affected by my attention in the slightest.
Hmm, strange. That never happens.
I raise my chin and give her the full effect of my dazzling smile. “What are you doing over here by yourself?”
Her eyes cut away from mine as she focuses on her bowl of candy. “Keeping away from guys like you,” she tells me though there’s a clear smile in her tone.
“Guys like me?”
“Yeah, the ones who are getting around here trolling for pussy. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. I can see the roll of condoms in your pocket. I’m not going to suck your dick, so you should try your luck somewhere else.”
Well, damn. No one’s ever shut me down like that before. I’m not going to lie, I get shut down just as much as the next guy…okay, maybe a little less than the next guy, but instead of moving on like I should, I find myself oddly intrigued by this strange, beautifully sexy girl.
Challenge accepted.
I place the drink I’d made for Sara down in front of her despite the array of drinks already covering the table. “What are you really doing sitting here by yourself?”
The girl looks down at the cup with a raised brow and I realize that I’m a stranger handing her a drink and if she’s smart, she wouldn’t accept it. Though she has nothing to worry about with me. My morals might be all sorts of fucked up, but I’m still a decent guy under the surface. She glances back up at me and realizing that I’m not about to leave her alone, she lets out a sigh. “I don’t know anyone here.”
I can’t help the laugh that bubbles up my throat. “Well sitting on the fucking table like a loner isn’t going to help.”
“It will if I’m not interested in getting to know anyone.”
“Dare I ask why?”
“From what I can tell,” she says, looking out at the crowd of grinding bodies around her. “The girls are all whores, and the guys are only interested in getting their dicks wet.”
I nod. She’s not fucking wrong. She’s absolutely spot on about the guys, but the girls…while she’s mostly right, there is a small bunch of chicks who have my stamp of approval.
I lean against the table, finding her more intriguing than any of the other chicks at the party, yet she’s the only one who hasn’t attempted to drape herself over me. “Alright, Tiger. Calm down.” Her scowl deepens and I resist laughing. “So, if you don’t like anyone here and would rather sit on fucking tables with a scowl, then why the hell did you come?”
The girl shrugs her shoulders and I realize that I’m desperate for her name. “I’m sticking it to my brother.”
She gives me a tight smile and I realize that’s all she’s going to say on the topic. I creep in a little. “Really? That’s all the explanation I’m going to get?”
She considers me for a moment before giving in, though I don’t miss the interest that’s slowly growing behind her eyes. “I’m pissed off with my brother. He fucked around and cost me a friend and not knowing where I am right now would be killing him, especially because we’re new here and he doesn’t trust any of you fuckers.”
