I can't believe that Max had the nerve to say those things last night . He has called me repeatedly and texted I am not ready to talk to him . This the man I love and he thinks I could do that be with Pier and Dexter . My feelings are hurt maybe we are not as strong as I thought we were . I call Liv trying to talk her into going with me to Chuck Underminer 's party . But she has a family thing and Kylie is actually seeing my brother for the weekend . I am so glad I was wrong about them . That leaves one person and I know I will have to talk him into it but Dexter will do it .
After convincing my sweet friend to go and arriving at the party I am really tired of Dexter lecturing me . He has went on about not drinking that much to I shouldn't be here without Max . I decided not to tell Dexter about Max's accusation .I just don't know how he will take it , I already don't think they like each other . But it would probably hurt Dexter feelings . As soon as we get in there I am off to the kitchen and grab a drink .
" You agreed you would go slow ." Dexter says as he walks into the kitchen
I hand him a cup and say
" I am just starting and I will be under control."
A hour and 4 cups later I am feeling my drink but also feeling sad over how Max treated me . And on top of all that I am bored .
" Let's find something fun to do ." I suggest
" I have a ideal let's leave " Dexter says
I laugh and get and walk threw the house .
" You said you would go slow and you are not ." Dexter complains
" Lighten up ." I yell and finish my drink . I walk back into the kitchen only long enough to get a new drink when I walk into the hallway I see Marco we are face to face .
" Marco " I whisper
" Hey Mia " he says with his eyes looking me up and down .
" It been a while come and sit with my and some friends ." He says
I know this guy can be a jerk but he is right it has been a while maybe he has changed .
Dexter pulls me the arm and whispers
" You know you don't like Marco ."
Marco walks up and high fives Dexter And says
" Man I thought you said you wasn't coming tonight ."
Dexter and Marco been friends and since I been friends with Dexter we been good at navigating around him with them still being friends I just didn't want to be around Marco . But tonight I don't t know he ain't going to bother me I still know about all he did to my brother the whole Nina situation and blaming it all on Max . But I just want to drink and have fun and this party is boreing it maybe Marco friends can make it better .
" Come sit with us " Marco yells and waves as he walks into the den .
Dexter whispers into my ear
" I don't think this a good I deal ."
I roll my eyes and walk behind Marco anyway.
In this little room there is a sofa where I sit and Dexter sits down beside me . There is also a table with guys playing cards and there is a few girls who is standing and Marco is standing and talking to them .
Marco is playing on his phone . And I again am getting bored , so I say
" Well I am bored so I am going to find something to do out front ." It comes out a lot louder than I thought it would . I see Marco head snap toward me and then he says
" Hey everyone let's play strip poker . "
All the guys cheer except for Dexter of course , Who is playing with his phone .
" How about it Mia ." Marco asks
Strip poker I don't think that could end well .
" I will pass " I say I go to walk out and I am faced with Max .
I am shocked to see him I just figured he wouldn't be here because he wasn't all night .
" Thank God " Dexter yells
I look at him wondering what he is meaning .
" I got here as quickly as I could ." Max declares
" You called him ." I say and I get really mad at Dexter he should not have done that .
" I am just glad you are here she was about to do some stupid stuff she was going to play strip poker " Dexters says to Max and completely ignores my question about him calling him .
" What Mia strip poker really ." Max says and there a hurt look on his face
I was not planing on playing the game I don't want the immature jerks looking druling over me .
" You was going to play strip poker with these these baboons ." Max yells
" Why not I mean I am sure I will just sleep with one later anyway " I say slyly
I see Max's face change color I can tell he is mad . He pulls my arm .
" Let go of me ." I scream
" Mia there is a spot of you want to play ." Marco yells
" Thank you I will ." I say and sit down
Max kneels down by my seat and says
" Please let's just go some where and talk ."
At this point he is giving me puppy dog eyes but I just look straight ahead and ignore him .
" Mia you don't want to do this . Come on let's leave ." He begs
I was not planning on playing this stupid game but Max telling me what I couldn't do made me mad . And I am sitting here so I feel like I have to I guess as long as I leave my Bra and panties on it is like I am wearing a bikini.
I turn toward Max and look him in his blue eyes and say
" I am not going to show anything I wouldn't if I had a bikini on ."
" It is just the thought of it trust me it will seem like more they will try to see more " he says and points to the boys looking at the cards .
" listen I am leaving on my bra and panties just so we are clear ." I yell
Some of the girls laugh and the boys just look until Marco says
" That is cool I am sure they are a hot pair ." And then the rest of the boys chime in saying yeah they are such followers.
The 1 st game some guy loses his shirt then a girl .
About 10 mins later both of my shoes are off and one sock when I lose this hand Marco says
" You have to do something a little more interesting ." I know what he is meaning
I laugh and say " I have pretty toes
I reach down to take off my sock and I tilt over a bit wow I am drunk .
The next thing I know Max is pulling my sock off . Our hands meet we look in each other's eyes . I know he is what I want but he started all of this . If he really thinks I could sleep around that easy then he don't know me and maybe all of this is a lie .
Next hand I naturally lose . " More interesting " Marco says with eye brows up
" You don't have to do this ." Max whispers
I look at him and wonder does he realize what his accusation done how it made me feel . I then stand full of confidence and anger I take off my shirt and the whole table woos I throw my shirt at Marco which I should t have I don't want to lead that a** hole on .
" Mia " Max screams and then he picks me up over his shoulder . I am kicking and screaming " Put me down."
Did he just save me .? Did he do it to protect me ? Or for his own selfish reasons .
