part 3: cheerleading

The next day, I was wondering around the halls of the many dorm rooms when I was stopped by two people.
"Heyyy!!!" They practically squealed.
"Erh.....hi" I said. "What's up? I don't think I know you. But it's nice to meet you all." I smile at them.
"Oh the pleasure is all ours." The blondie said. "I'm Denice and this is my friend Sally." She stated pointing at her friend, who had dark brown hair, beautiful golden brown eyes, dark skin and a tom boy figure. On the other hand Denice was fur skinned, blonde long hair done in a bun, rose lips, green eyes and a girly figure.
They looked good in their cheerleading attires. And I mean good.
"We heard how you put Sasha in her place yesterday. It was awesome!!!!!" Blondie -Denice- stated. "Thanks again. I'm Alicia btw but my friends call me Alice."
Alice! We are having a party this evening for the Eps team members and their cheer leaders. And you already know who is the main idea." She said wiggling her brows. I roll my eyes and smile. " Damien of course. If you really want me there I'd gladly be there" I say. It's better to get closer to him in order to protect him, I tell myself.
"Great!! We'll see you there at 6. Don't be late and wear something nice." She winks at me and leaves.

**************

At 5, I was sitting on my bed wondering what in world I was going to wear.
Still thinking, I heard a knock from the door.
"Coming!" I said. When I opened the door I was surprised to see blondie and Sally.
"Hey! What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna get ready?" "We are ready. Now tell us what you are going to wear." "I don't know. I mean I have dresses but I'm confused as to what to wear. Any help?"
"We thought this might occur so we brought you something very nice to wear."

The outfit:

When I come out of the closet I am met by eyes admiring me, looking up and down. I started blushing. The dress was a rap dress, only is was joined at the side permanently. It hugged my body perfectly. It was a shiny wine dress, and due to its rapping, it cut at the right side of my leg.
The dress exposed a bit of cleavage, however it was just right. I matched it with black heels. Overall, I looked fabulous. "Oh I made the right choice. You look stunning. Now let's go!!! We will be late if we don't go" blondie said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We reached there and I already had admirers. I was seriously happy with my look. Of course blondie and Sally too were receiving winks and 'ohhhss' from the small crowd.

We entered the bar to be hit by loud music and a strong smell of alcohol and perfume. "I'm going to get drinks!!!!" Sally shouted. We nodded and blondie pulled me to the dance. I was trying to scan the crowd for Damien and when I couldn't find him, I just let loose and started dancing.

If I don't know where he is how am I supposed to protect him? I thought. "What?!" Blondie shouted. "Oh nothing." Did I seriously say that aloud? I roll my eyes and mentally slap my brain.

We danced for sometime and Sally returned with the drinks. I took three shots but was not drunk yet, although Blondie got drunk full time. Sally and I helped her to an empty seat. She was drunk so bad.
We decided to call it a night even though I still had to find Damien. As we were leaving someone stop me. He looked me up and down before looking me in the eyes. Those beautiful eyes. I suddenly felt heat when he held my wrist.
"Hey. Can you stay with me, I was looking for you but couldn't find you. One of my boys said they saw a beautiful girl who looks like you going out." I blushed when he said beautiful girl. I looked over at Sally who gave me a nod and a wink. What's with all the winking!
"Are you sure you can take her home?" I asked. "Oh don't be a party pooper and get your sexy ass inside."
"Okay okay I'm going. Take care!" I enter the club with Damien and when I enter some of his friends whistle, admiring me. They immediately stopped. Then that's when I realized Damien giving them the death stare.
Aww! He looks so cute when he does that, I thought.
Oh my God what!! Alicia you are supposed to be protecting him, not drooling over him.
He took me to the bar table and offered me a drink. I took it thanking him.

"You look stunning I my must say" said Damien.
"You basically told me that a while ago but... Thanks anyway. You don't look so bad yourself" I reply.

Just then the dj switches the song to a slow one. Damien turns to face me and asks, "may I have this dance?" He then offers a hand.
I take it gladly. His hands are so gentle and soft! What it can d- stop it ALICIA!!!! Just go dance with him for pete's sake.

We go to the dance floor and he places his free hand on my waist and the other still holding mine. My hands find it way to his shoulder and we start moving to the rhythm.
He stares at me shyly and smiles. I smile back. He is soo cute!!!

Get a grip girl! Focus. I scan the place trying to find anything suspicious. Nope, all clear. As I was about to turn my attention back at Damien I suddenly saw a dark figure lurking in the shadows. Fuck! How did they- oh well they might as well find out.
I quickly let go of Damien only to see that the shadow has disappeared. Shit! I have to get him to safety. I quickly grab his big hands and lead him out of the bar. 
Since I came with the girls, I left my motorcycle back at the campus and who the hell sits on a motorcycle in this? Who am I kidding? I quickly turned to Damien who carried a worried expression. Oh shit I didn't explain, but I don't want him to know. He might find out. I think of a possible way to get out of this situation. Think! Oh aha!
"Damien, do you happen to have a ride back? I kinda feel nauseous" I say feigning sickness. He looks at me worriedly and leads me to his black convertible.

"Hop in" he says.
I oblige and he takes me back home. He walks me to my dorm. Because I was exhausted, I didn't check the time. We stand there and he looks at me with those gorgeous eyes, the ones I could melt in.
"Thanks for the ride" I say smiling.
"No prob" he smiles back. Then he begins to lean in. I also start leaning in but I realize when our faces are inches apart. We can't do this! I can't do this. I have to admit, I like this guy but I just can't ruin my mission. I clear my throat. "I should get going if I don't wanna sleep in" I say.
"Right" his face falls. I wish I could bring that smile back to his face.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" I say.
"Yeah tomorrow" he gives me a small smile. "Bye" "bye" I say. I fumble with my keys then open my door. I walk in and lie on my bed. I have to tell them.

****

Beep-beep-beep went my alarm. I actually prepared for this one because I didn't get sleep the whole night. He plagued my mind without even doing anything special. And now I can tell he likes me too. I'm dancing with happiness right now! I smile to myself but the smile falters. I have to tell them. They have to know. But how am I going to start? Oh I'm so stupid!! I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear a small knock on my door. I check the time. 8:30? I've been sitting here for a good 45 minutes. Great.
I go to open my door only to be pushed down and engulfed in a hug by Denice. I rubbed my bum. It freaking hurt.

"Hey gurl!!!! How are you? And how was your night? I hope you didn't get wasted cos I sure am going to kick your ass!!!" She exclaims suddenly.

Oh look who's talking. I roll my eyes. "Oh lookie here. The great and  famous one who is always sober. Telling me that she's gonna kick my ass if I get wasted. Well FYI, I didn't".

Sally toppled over with laughter. Denice frowned. Her beautiful eyes dart between Sal and I.
Confused, she asks,"what do you mean?"
"Oh nothing. Just recalled yesterday where you got pretty wasted."
She turns pink. "Oh well, not my fault. So what happened to you?"

"Yeah what happened between you and Damien? Did you hit it off?" Sal smirks. Now it's my turn to go pink.

"Yh we did. He even was about to kiss me. But I just couldn't."

"Why?" They ask in unison. I sigh. "It's complicated. Look, I've not been that honest with you guys and I'm sorry about that. I feel really bad but I promise I'll tell you when the I'm ready. Okay?" They both nod giving me sympathetic looks.

"So.... what brings you here?" I ask trying to change the subject.
They give me the 'are you kidding me right now' look. "We have class today". Oh I completely forgot. "And you look like a wreck right now. Get your ass up and move it sweetie! Let's get you dolled up for your prince charming" Sal says, winking. I roll my eyes again, a smile forming on my lips.

Today is gonna be a long day.........
