Chapter 11: 11 Bad Boy Kisses

With the music blasting from downstairs and people talking, I thought I heard him wrong. Then I felt stupid because he was only about a foot away from me and it was quiet upstairs. That only meant one thing then. I couldn’t help the surprised look that overcame my face. The question was no longer, ‘did I hear it him right?’ but ‘did he really just ask me that?’

My answer was immediate. “No.” I started walking towards the stairs when Jared gripped my wrist and pulled me back into the semi dark hallway.

“What? Where are you going?”

I need more alcohol, I thought to myself. Then I rejected that thought because if I was intoxicated I would probably have thrown myself at Jared. I wouldn’t lie, I was attracted to him but I definitely didn’t feel anything for him and I don’t want our weird friendship thingy to be jeopardized.

“I’m going back to the party. I mean that is the reason why I came.” I said a little snippy. I couldn’t help myself. Why would Jared want to kiss me? Was he really being so nice to me and goofing off with me just so we could hook up? I didn’t want to read to much into it so I dropped my thoughts and tried to move around him again.

He put a hand on my shoulder and stopped my get away. “You can’t just give me that short answer and leave. Explain.”

I gave him a dirty look. “What do I need to explain? I said no because I don’t want too.” I shook my head and pushed his hand off of me which he let me do. “I shouldn’t even be explaining myself,” I looked him in the eye, “because I don’t need too.”

“What’s so wrong with kissing me?”

Were we really going to fight about this when my abusive ex is the room right behind us? Jared didn’t know that though so I guess we were. “Look, I just got out of a relationship, I just started talking to you, I just started accepting you as a friend and,” I was gritting my teeth by this part, “I just want to go back to the damn party and have fun.”

Jared bit his lip trying to hold back a smile and that just infuriated me more. “You are hot when you are feisty.” He moved closer to me and placed his hands on my hips. Our chests were flushed together. I could smell the axe cologne he was wearing.

“You aren’t getting anything out of me Jared. Not now and not ever.” I spoke with confidence lowering my eyes to his lips to see they were millimeters away from mine.

“You seem so sure of that Emilie. So then why are you staring at my lips?” The humor in his voice wasn’t hidden.

“I have a thing for lips.”

Jared and I both made weird faces at that statement and then started laughing. That had to be the dumbest thing I had ever said. I pushed myself away from him and smiled at him. He was shaking his head and ran a hand through his hair.

“You are weird, you know that.”

I shrugged still laughing a little. “And you’re a jerk.”

“Touché.”

I winked at him and then poked his chest. “I won’t kiss you because you are my friend—“

He cut me off by placing a hand over my now stilled lips. “You are considering me your friend now?”

I wrapped my fingers around his hand and took it off my mouth. “Yes. I will probably regret it later but yes for right now we are friends.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Don’t I have a say in if we are friends or not?”

“No.” I put a finger to his lips to shut him up. “Now since we are friends, kissing you would be weird and I don’t want that from you. So, I have a way to thank you for ‘saving’ me tonight.”

“Twice.”

“Excuse me?” I asked dropping my finger that was tingling from the breath that blew on it when he talked.

“I saved you twice.” He corrected smirking. I felt my hand twitch to slap him but held it back.

“Okay.” I bit out giving him a forced smile. Amusement clouded over his face when he saw that I was getting frustrated. “For the rest of the night I am yours.” I quickly put up a hand to stop his dirty thoughts from escalading. “What I mean is, I will dance with you, talk with you, hangout with you and not give you any attitude. I will make this a fun night for both of us. Deal?”

“What do I benefit from this? I would rather you kiss me.” 

“You get to be with me and pretty much control me.” I shrugged. “I will be all yours tonight. You want to dance, I have too. You want to play the games; I will be your partner. You want a drink; I will get it for you. I will make this night an easy one for you. No attitude included.”

He stared at me for a while and I was slowly losing my patience. “I still would rather have a kiss but!” He quickly went on as I raised my hand to hit him. “I guess what you are offering is okay. I mean it does save me a lot of energy.”

I rolled my arms and grabbed his arm. “I knew I was going to regret becoming your friend.” I mumbled going down the stairs.

“That was actually probably the best decision you made Emilie.” Jared mocked and I swung my arm back, hitting him in the chest.

“What do you want to do?” I asked when we reached the bottom. I turned to face him. “It’s all up to you.”

I scanned the room and it seemed that more people had showed up. It was a lot more crowded than before in the dancing area and unfortunately that is where Jared wanted to go first. He grabbed onto my hand and started dragging me to the overly crowded dance floor.

I had to hold back begging to go somewhere else because Jared was in control tonight and since it was my idea, I couldn’t really say no to him. He pulled me to the middle of everyone and held me close. His hands gripped my hips and my arms went around his neck. The music was fast and up beat so I started moving my body against his to the beat of the music and smiled when he followed my lead.

His fingers dug deeper into my waist making the material of my dress cling to my side as I moved slower and harder against his hips. Our eyes locked and I felt my heart pick up. I could get lost in his eyes they were so unique. I bit my lip as I ran my hands down his chest and pulled him impossibly closer by his belt.

He didn’t fight it and we laid our foreheads against each other’s. Our bodies still moving perfectly against one another and I lost myself in the music, closing my eyes. Jared’s hands moved over my back and tangled in my hair.

Opening my eyes I saw him staring at me. My arms were around his neck again and they seemed to have a mind of their own because my hands tangled in his hair pulling his face closer. His eyes dropped to my lips and I was so in the moment, I didn’t want to fight it.

Maybe, I needed to kiss someone else. Maybe I needed to have one night with no regrets which meant making out with Jared. Just on night, one time is all. It won’t be awkward because I wouldn’t let it be. And since Jared already wanted to kiss me, I doubt he would make it awkward either.

I was thinking too much when I should just be taking action.

I flinched back last minute when two red cups were thrusted in between Jared and mine’s face. I looked to my left to see a random boy smiling at us holding the cups. “Take them! We’re having some special moment and everyone needs a cup.”

I took the one he thrusted in my face once again and watched as he walked away raising his cup in the air. “Weird.” I mumbled to myself.

I turned back to Jared who looked annoyed but I didn’t ask because I had a feeling why. I was actually thankful that boy came because even though I said I needed one night of fun, kissing Jared would only cause me problems later on.

I smiled at him and clanked our glasses. “To whatever the hell we need cups for.” I laughed taking a sip and was happy when Jared smirked and also took a sip.

The DJ called for everyone’s attention and we all turned to the direction he was in. “The host of the party would like to make a speech.”

I furrowed my eyebrows. That was weird. Speeches usually weren’t made at parties. Louis jumped onto the little platform that the DJ was located at it and grabbed a mic from him. “What up party people!?” Everyone cheered raising their glasses. I joined along and noticed Jared just standing there. I nudged him and he gave me a dry look and raised his glass half ass. I rolled my eyes at him.

Louis held up his glass indicating everyone else to follow. “I was announced something earlier and knew it had to have a toast!” People cheered again and Louis whipped his arm through the air telling everyone to quiet. “So let’s raise our glasses to Emilie Grey and Jared McKingsley and their new relationship!”

Cheers erupted around the room and glasses were raised as music pounded through the speakers again. Everyone held their glasses up as they danced around celebrating mine and Jared’s ‘new relationship’. I was pushed around as the dance floor was in motivation again.

My eyes were wide as I stood staring at where Louis just was. Who the fuck told Louis that Jared and I were together? And why the hell did he have to announce it to everyone like it was some amazing thing? My palms became sweaty as thoughts ran through my head. Conner came bouldering through my thoughts and I felt like vomiting. He wasn’t going to like this when he hears.  

Jared wrapped an arm around my shoulder and smiled down at me. Clinking our cups together he raised his to his lips, “Now that I will definitely drink too!” Then he chugged back his drink.
