We are like chalk and cheese.
“Problems with the ex?” I ask Jaden, knocking back a third shot as Crane finally meets my eyes.
Jaden places his muscly arms either side of me, dropping his head into my neck as he exhales. “Mmm, something like that. But she seems alright now, huh?”
Liza is kissing Crane, and for a second, I can’t do anything but glare.
As though he senses me watching, he moves her around so she’s against the wall, holding her hands above her head as he drags the bottle of whiskey to his lips, breaking the kiss to glug on it, before kissing Liza hard on the mouth.
It’s hot as fuck, and I have never envied anyone so much in my life.
Jaden kisses my neck softly, but I move away, nodding at Kiki who matches me shot for shot as we proceed to do exactly what we came here to do.
Jaden slides his hand around my waist, and Crane is still devouring Liza against the fucking wall.
Why can’t I stop watching?!
Crane has her legs around his waist, her heels digging into his ass as he tugs on her hair, exposing her neck.
“Putting on quite the show, aren’t they?” Kiki giggles, smiling as Gregory moves closer to her.
“That’s Crane, a real ladies’ man.” Gregory chuckles, winking at me. “He turned down your drinking challenge, the pussy.”
Part of me wants to demand he come over here right now and drink with me, but I can’t bring myself to do it.
Suddenly, I don’t want to feelanything, so I turn and gaze at Jaden, who wastes no time in pressing his lips to mine, lifting me onto the pool table as someone whoops around us.
Jaden is known for being a player, but right now, that’s all I want.
The buzz I’d felt earlier has truly left the building, and I try desperately to bring it back. I throw myself into the kiss, Jaden’s hands lifting my ass from the table and against him as I laugh into his mouth.
“I’m fucking you tonight,” Jaden mumbles in between kisses, and my heart pounds with excitement.
Phew, I thought I’d lost it for a second there.
“You wish.”
Jaden leans back, his arms wrapping around me as he lifts me into his arms, holding me in mid-air.
“Put me down!” I laugh, gripping his neck as my hair tumbles between us, his eyes locking onto mine.
“Nah, I’m not letting you go tonight, Sierra.”
I’m aware of the envious glares I’m getting from the girls around us, and it gives me a warm glow in my stomach; a senior with one of the hottest college guys here.
“You wanna take me home? You’ll have to wait. I’m planning on getting fucked up, Jaden.”
Jaden grins, kissing me hard on the mouth.
“Sounds good. Sign me up.”
“Kiki!” I call out, dragging my hair into a side parting so it falls down my shoulder. “Let’s finish this bottle.”
Kiki laughs, lifting up the vodka bottle that’s between us. It has to be three-quarters full, and even I know I’ll probably end up barfing at this rate.
But fuck it, I’mliving.
Someone cranks up the music, and I notice Crane and Liza have disappeared.
