The party is going great and the atmosphere is fun, but what has me worried is the tension I'm sensing between Ian and Zoé. What the hell is going on here that I don't know. Thuso also seems to be looking at him with pure disgust but when she looks at me, its a look of sympathy.
I get up from Ian's lap to go grab some water, I feel no need to drink alcohol because I feel shit is about to blow up and I need to be sober for it.
"Where are you going, baby?" Ian asked me holding my wrist.
"Why does it matter to you!?" Zoé asked angrily, woah!
"I wasn't talking to you Zoé, mind your business!" Ian spat out and Zoé got up to stand in front of Ian.
"You know what Ian, you full of shit! I can't believe you outta all people would do that, how could you be so cruel and selfish. Screw you!"
"Okay...what is going on..." but none of them answer me "Zoé? Ian? Why y'all fighting?" I asked wanting to know, it's rare for them to fight. Their relationship is like a brother and sister but right now they acting as if they've never had one.
"Nothing baby. Zoé is probably just drunk and needs a punching bag to release all her sexual pent up energy and she chose me." Ian answered after a while looking at Zoé as if to tell her not to say anything.
Ian gets a text and hides his phone, he never does that. Yeah, I get the whole privacy thing and stuff but we do at times read each other's messages when we're together so why is he being so secretive now? But its a question for later, I'm really worried about Zoé, she's fuming and Thuso is trying really hard to calm her down.
Zoé storms out with Thuso following behind her but before she leaves she stands by me and whispers something into my ear which has me bulging my eyes out. What the hell is going? Ian stares at Zoé burning holes through her skull with his eyes, he's angry too, and I'm here feeling like a free bird. What a night it is.
"Baby I'll be right back okay." it wasn't a question but a reassurance that I won't move so I just nod. I sit there alone for some time scrolling through Instagram and remember that I wanted water. I stand up and push my way through a heave of people who are really sweaty right now.
I open the fridge and take out bottled water, seems safer to me honestly cause you know how these fucktards do when they want a shag. I chug my bottle of water and throw away the bottle and take another one for later, I walk back to that couch where it was so much fun until Ian came through, but why's that?
On my way back I see him from the corner of my eye and immediately tense up.
Ian is literally sucking throat with Riley! What the hell? I just stand there gawking not knowing what to do. Riley? Honestly as in Zoé's ex. The bitch I truly don't like, she caused a lot of heartache for my best friend and now she chose to bring it home. To me.
I feel a presence near me but don't look up, I can already smell him, damn he smells good but nows not the time. I carry on staring at them without a clue on what to do. I'm obviously not going to make a scene, I can't let it get me.
But hell it is and it's breaking me too quickly but I can't stop staring. I feel as if I turn away that's when I'll break down and I can't shed tears on a guy anymore...but he is going to make me cry and I thought that'd never happen with him, not like this.
"So what are you gonna do?" Khalil asked me, I can hear the concern and worry in his voice that I turn around and look at him.
"I don't know..." I answered truthfully with a smile that doesn't reach my eyes and he returns it. He feels sorry for me and I hate it!
"You want me to beat the living shit out of him?" Khalil tried to make a joke but you can actually hear he's serious which is shocking because he really represents himself as a person who doesn't care for anyone at all. Well maybe he still doesn't care, he is Khalil after all.
"Nah...let him have his fun. It's his night after all."
"Foxie, you can't just stand here and watch him."
"I know, but I can't move. It's numbing."
"Come on, let's get out of here."
After that sentence, Ian and Riley start moving upstairs and I follow, why the hell I'm I doing that? I really don't know...It is like a trance you know and that whole saying 'believing is seeing'. Khalil tugs at my hand to stop me but instead, I grab his wrist and pull him with me.
"Rina! Dude you're only going to get yourself more hurt. Let's leave this place, man!"
"Stay behind if you want. It definitely can't get more worse than it already is..." damn I spoke too soon. They're inside the room now, left the door open a bit pulling at each other's clothes like they starved. I only look away once Riley throws Ian on the bed and straddles him. And fuck did it hurt even more. One point to Khalil my conscious adds.
I turn around to see Khalil disgusted and angry, most of all sympathetic.
"Come on let's go," I say to him and he follows without saying anything. We walk together in silence but he only speaks to me when he sees I'm heading back to the couch.
"Uhm Foxie, what are you doing?"
"Uhm Khalil, can you not see...the nights still young and I'm not done partying," I respond in a duh tone.
"You're not thinking rationally. You're trying to hold on to something that's not there."
"Not at all K. If you wanted to see irrationality I'd be upstairs right now causing havoc and beating Ian into a pulp. But I'm not, I'm sitting on a couch with you waiting for the games to begin. So if you want to leave..." That's when I turn to look at him with an empty stare and I'm sure he sees it "Leave!"
About an hour passes with us just sitting there, watching the party still going on strong. Ian and Riley came down about half an hour ago, but separately just to be safe. Bunch of fucking idiots! This girl Tiffany that I met tonight suggests we play a game, finally!
We all agree but still dispute choosing one.
We all say no to '20 questions, truth or dare and 7 minutes in heaven.' So we decide on actually mixing the games. You ask someone a question which is more like a statement which has to be true if your statement is wrong that person comes up with a dare for the person who asked you the statement. It seems like fun but to me, it's more about truth. We sit in a circle but mixed up, I'm sitting in between Khalil and Jordan. Ian between Riley and Tiffany and more people I don't know.
The game is all fun and lit till Tiffany asks Jordan a question.
"So Jordan, it is true that you've let Riley suck your dick while you were at 'dinner with your parents ' right?" Jordan immediately tenses and goes pale and I have a feeling that that 'dinner with your parents' was a lie. Tiffany and Jordan dated but broke up a few weeks ago.
Jordan swallows nothing and nods his head, I see Tiffany look like she's about to break down but instead sighs and drinks more of whatever that is. Shame man and she looks like such a nice person. Yeah, girl, worst shit happens to the best people. Now it's my turn and y'all guessed it, I go for the head of the snake.
"So Riley, it is true that you've never been able to be a lady and close those legs." and what I get is some other stare that could kill and Ian tries to look relaxed but it defeats him. Yeah, what's up bitch I know!
"I'm a hoe and everyone knows it." She responds in a purring voice and looks at Khalil and winks, thee only guy she hasn't slept with in this place. But I must say, she's got balls to own up.
Now it is Khalil's turn and who he chooses was not who I expected at all, I really thought he'd go for Ian but I guess trying something twice is a charm.
"Riley, it is true that you've had STD from excessive hoeing." I don't know why but I burst out laughing, K is on some other tonight.
Riley looks offended but answers " Fuck no. I've never had STDs!" and I'm truly disappointed.
"What an achievement for you, but I wonder how long that would last." Khalil claps his hands slowly and rolls his eyes.
"Argh shut up...I get to give you a dare." and she's got that 'I'm about to show you flames' look. "I dare you to kiss Rina. Like heavy type of shit." Well damn, this bitch is crazy. Ian glares at her and she bats her eyelashes. eye roll
"How thirsty are you really that you get off watching people make out?" Khalil answers in a bored tone but looking at him now, he looks conflicted.
"Dude come on its just a kiss, it's not like I'm asking you to show us your dick. But you could do that if you'd like." I think I've run out of words to describe her, it is no longer insults it is her personality.
"Whatever." K says, what the hell does he mean 'whatever'? 'Whatever I'll kiss her or whatever I'll show you my dick?' But that's soon answered when he turns his body towards mine and I freeze!
He looks at me for an answer and I remember it's payback time, I glance at Ian and see he clenched his jaw sort of begging me not to do it through his eyes. Sorry baby and all I begged you to do was shower me with love and be honest but we don't always get what we want.
I look back at Khalil and as if he got his answer he cups my cheeks and leans in slowly, oh my it's really happening isn't it, before he kisses me his lips hover over mine "You can end it anytime. Relax." After he said that I realized how tense I was, I let go and his lips touch mine.
And I thought Ian could kiss, boy was I wrong! Khalil knows what he's doing it's scary and incredible. No wonder why girls always after him!
His lips are soft against mine and move in such a rhythmic manner. He doesn't rush it and I'm glad because I'm trying to savour this moment, he bites my bottom lip and damn it feels good that I let out a slight moan.
He licks the lip as if asking to gain access and I give it to him. I open my mouth and let our tongues play. Saliva exchanging and fighting for a dominant role which is mind-blowing. His hand started to move lower and I didn't notice that we were both kneeling already.
They reach my waist and stay there for a while and they move further downwards as the kiss deepens even more than it is already. He grabs my ass which earns a gasp from me and I bite his lip which earns me a growl.
And I had forgotten all about what Ian had done and that we were making out in front of people! This was a dare, but it felt so natural. Ian had to take us out of our bubble of pure bliss.
"She didn't say have sex!" And that's when we stopped, heavy breathing and racing hearts.
He moved towards my ear "I hope that was a good enough payback for you." his voice comes out husky and I'm soaking wet now. I give him my best smile and sit down thinking about what a skilled kisser he is.
