“Of course you can sweetheart. Just be sure to lock the bedroom door when you go inside. ”
“Will you wait right here until I get back?” Ellie asked as a blush crept up her cheeks.
“I’ll be right here. ” I said as I leaned down and kissed her forehead.
Ellie stopped to talk to Jeff for a quick second. I saw Rachael and Crysti staring her up and down.
Bitches.
Jeff walked over to me and slapped me on the back. “So you think my baby sister is having fun at her first college party?”
I looked at Jeff who was clearly getting himself drunk. “Jeff man what’s going on with you tonight…. you never get wasted like this. You’re leaving me totally responsible for watching your sister and her friends. ”
“It looks like Jeff’s little sister’s friends are taking pretty good care of themselves. ” Rebecca said with a laugh. Crysti and some other girl who I’d never seen before started to laugh as they looked out to where everyone was dancing.
Just then Ari started to walk over to where we were standing. She was out of breath from dancing. I reached into the cooler I was standing by and handed her another beer.
“Whew! I have not danced like that in forever! Where is Ellie? She needs to get her ass out there and dance with us. ” Ari said as she took a sip of beer.
She looked over at Jeff and then noticed Rebecca hanging onto him. This was not going to turn out good. Ari’s eyes traveled up and down Rebecca and landed at where she had her hand on Jeff’s waist.
“Who is your friend dickwad?” Ari asked Jeff.
“Rebecca, this is Ellie’s best friend…. . Squirt. Squirt this is Rebecca…. . a friend of mine. ” Jeff stressed the word friend and I saw Ari’s whole body just stiffen up. What the fuck was he doing?
“Hello Jeff’s friend Rebecca. The name is Ari, nice to meet you. ” Ari said as she reached for Rebecca’s hand to shake it. Rebecca, being the bitch she was, just looked at Ari’s hand and laughed.
Jeff just stood there with a grin on his face. Why in the hell was he letting Rebecca be so rude to Ari, this was not like him at all.
He leaned closer in to Ari like he was going to say something only to her.
“Better be careful dancing like that out there squirt. You’re playing with the big boys now. You might just lose your V card if you keep dancing like that honey. ”
HOLY FUCK! OH shit……. . he did not just say that!
Jeff practically shouted it to Ari. Rebecca and Crysti started to laugh. I just stood there stunned. This was not Jeff. He would never purposely hurt anyone.
I looked at Ari. She just stood there staring at Jeff, the tears where slowly starting to build in her eyes. She looked over at the two bitches who were laughing still.
“Rebecca, knock it the fuck off or you can take your friends and leave. ” I said as I walked in between Ari and Jeff. She looked like she was ready to knock the shit out of him. He just stood there smiling at her. After what felt like forever I saw Ari’s shoulders square off and she stood up tall.
“Fuck you Jeff! It’s not the first time I’ve played with the big boys and it certainly won’t be the last. ” Ari turned and walked over to Jack. It looked like she was asking him to play a song.
I turned and just stared at Jeff. “Rebecca, will you and your friends give us a few minutes please?”
“Sure, I’ll be inside baby. ” Rebecca reached up and kissed Jeff on the cheek. He briefly closed his eyes like he couldn’t stand the contact.
“Jeff, what the fuck is your problem? Why the hell would you embarrass Ari like that?” I pushed my hands through my hair…. what the hell was he thinking? “Holy fuck dude that was a really douche bag move. ”
Jeff just took a swig of his beer and shrugged his shoulders.
Next thing I knew, “I’m a Slave for You” by Britney Spear’s started playing.
Oh fuck…. . this can’t be good. Just then Ellie walked back up and had a confused look on her face.
“What the hell?” Ellie said just as Jeff looked out to the dance floor. His jaw dropped. I didn’t want to turn around but I did.
Dammit……I shouldn’t have……
