I felt a small pang of jealousy when I noticed Nick and Theresa dancing a few feet away. God I’m so stupid sometimes. Here I am with the guy I always felt something for, and waiting something else. I shook my head and returned to paying attention to what Kevin and I were doing.
“What was that for?” Kevin asked, looking down at me curiously.
“Nothing just thinking weird thoughts again…” I spoke but my words were drowned out by the music. He shrugged his shoulders and returned to grinding against me. I shut my eyes and leaned against him, breathing in his cologne. But it wasn’t Kevin I was thinking about anymore.
**********
The guys had thankfully departed from the table, leaving Aj to do what he needed to do. He looked at Amanda, who was watching with a look of contempt at some couple. His eyes followed hers and felt a sudden rush of jealousy(join the club!). Theresa and Nick were dancing to his song like it was just them!
‘I know what she’s doing! Just get this over with and she’ll be back.’ At least he hoped. He coughed slightly, causing Amanda to turn around to face him.
“What baby, you wanna dance? We can out do them any day…” Amanda smiled, running a hand up his thigh. Aj removed it on impulse. She looked at him in slight shock and noticed the serious tones in his eyes.
“Amanda, we have had a very bumpy relationship from the start and not that I mind bumps, I just don’t like getting whip lash from them. You seriously hurt me when you dumped me for Joey. But it hurt worse when you so easily picked me back up like it was nothing. What I’m trying to say is, I don’t think this relationship is going to work and we’d be better off trying to see other people…”
“This is because of that smart ass blond slut isn’t it? You fell for her, didn’t you? You fell for that stupid little bitch…” Amanda was silenced by Aj immediately.
“Theresa is not a bitch or a slut. I am saying this because I know it’s the right thing for me to do…” The clap of open-palm against cheek rang out in his ears. His face stung like hell as Amanda stomped away and out of the club. “Now to find Theresa…” Aj murmured to no one in particular.
**********
“Come on Nick…” Theresa stated, grabbing his large hand and pulling him towards another couple dancing nearby.
Kevin looked up first, followed by me. Theresa smiled sympathetically and said,
“Sorry, but I have to steal Kevin away from you. Gotta get a favor outta him.” She smirked up at him devilishly and lead Kevin away from me, leaving Nick in front of me. I pulled him to me and rested my head against his chest, loving the calm beating of his heart, I could just be lulled to sleep. Some slow song was on and I just sway with Nick, strangely enough feeling more warmth in his embrace than I had in Kevin’s.
“Steph…” He whispered, loud enough for me to hear him over the multitudes of people laughing and speaking around us.
“Yeah Nicky?” I snuggled my nose closer to his warm chest, inhaling the sweet scent. He smelt like Herbal Essence shampoo and cologne, I’m not sure what kind, but it was alluring none the less.
“Do you mind if I, umm…” There was a slight stammer in his voice and he rested his hands on my ass and pulled me closer. “Is this alright?”
I had no idea what to say. My best friend was groping my butt and I was shivering from excitement. This is nuts. But I nodded anyway, wrapping my arms tighter around his neck, pressing my body against the length of his. I felt him shudder and shut my eyes, wondering what the hell was wrong with me.
**********
Kevin held Theresa waist tightly and moved in a slow sexy manner, leaning into her ear. “I think you’re seriously pissing Aj off, Babe.”
“That’s kinda the point.” Theresa stated, moving a little closer to him.
“Okay then do you mind if I put my hands on your ass?” He smirked.
“Only if I can put mine on yours.” She didn’t waste anytime, just placed both hands on his firm butt and squeezed. He in turn did the same. Suddenly, a hand tapped on both their shoulders.
“Excuse me, but I really must insist that I cut in.” Aj stated, making the two pull apart slightly.
“Oh, well, be my guest, I’ll just go get a drink.” Theresa smirked smugly, trotting away before Aj could say another word.
**********
I yawned sleepily against Nick, closing my eyes and pretending it was just us, dancing alone. I felt myself doze off softly and still could hear most of the stuff around me.
“Steph, you aren’t falling asleep on me, are you?” Nick asked, petting my hair.
“Mmhmm.” I muttered, snuggling closer to him. I heard the soft laughter rumble in his chest.
“Well what do you say I take you home and put you to bed?” He leaned into my ear and whispered softly.
“Mmhmm.” I couldn’t hear much he said just ‘bed’ and that’s all that really mattered.
“Well, I’ll just take you home with me okay?” He knew I was sleeping and would answer every question the same.
“Mmhmm.” He slowly led me out of the club, to his green Durango and helped me into the passenger seat.
**********
Aj made his way to the bar, searching for a short blond in purple. He found her downing a shot of tequila. He sat on the stool next to her and ordered a double of what she was having.
“Theresa, I know you’re mad at me, but I’ve got good new…” He started, only to meet Theresa’s glare. He could tell she was slightly drunk and pissed.
“Oh, let’s hear it for the freaking understatement of the year!” She stated loudly, shot-gunning another drink.
“I broke up with Amanda.” He smiled, until she turned around and gave him the finger.
“Yeah, well guess what! I don’t give a shit! For all I care, you could still be seeing her!” She slurred her words together and began to walk away. He grabbed her arms softly before she could leave though.
“But, I thought…”
“You thought wrong!” She stated plainly, the lie clear in her sharp eyes. But it was too dark for Aj to notice. He frowned and returned to the bar, drinking shot after shot, until his head was swimming.
**********
Theresa stumbled up behind Kevin and wrapped her arms around his waist.
“Hey Sexy, you wanna take me home?” She grinned, seductively placing her hands into his jeans pockets. Startled, he turned around and removed her hands.
“I thought I sent J to talk to you.” Kevin said, noticing her tipsy smiled and sighed, “Lord, you’re drunk, and Aj is too. Oh, this is just great!”
Aj walked towards Theresa and Kevin slightly wobbling. “Hey Kev, get your hands off her. I liked her first.”
“Why don’t you just go screw your girl-friend, Amanda.” Theresa stated, getting right up in his face. To her drunken surprise, Aj pulled her face into a passionate kiss. When she finally pulled away she cuddled up to Kevin.
“You never answered my question, Big Boy! You wanna take me home…” She glanced over at Aj and grinned, “with you?”
Aj looked about ready to beat the holy living out of someone and Kevin grabbed his arm.
“I’m driving both of you back to Aj’s house. Hey Brian come pick me up at Aj’s… NOW!” Kevin stated over the loud music getting a nod from Brian. He slowly led the pair outside to the parking lot. “Aj, gimme you’re keys and get in the car.”
“Oh, no. First you steal my woman then you steal my car! I don’t think so pal!” Aj stated, unaware he was already handing the keys to Kevin.
“Oh, shut up Aj!” Theresa growled, climbing into the back of Aj’s Expedition. Aj gave her the finger then climbed into the car.
“Good, now buckle up you two and I’ll take you home.” Kevin said, fatherly, climbing into the driver’s seat and starting the car.
