Fake It Until You Make It

Party Mixing Drinks and Walking Away

I stepped into the house that was thumping with music and packed with people. Bridget was on my arm and people were swarming us. Most of them were nice and asking if Bridget was okay, but some were just shooting her dirty looks.

"I'm going to go get a drink do you want one?" Bridget screamed into my ear which was still hard to hear.

"Yeah do you want me to come with you?" I asked eying one particular red head who looked as if she was ready to stick a cross up Bridget's ass.

"Yeah sure." I replied pushing my way through the crowd and towards the kitchen. I knew where most places were in this house especially Brianna's room. Yeah, we used to hook up until a rumor went around that she had Chlamydia. Usually I wasn't one to listen to rumors, but that girl did get around and I didn't want to risk it.

The kitchen was considerably less packed. By that I mean it was crowded, but you can breathe so that's a plus. Bridget squirmed through the crowd slipping in between people a lot easier than I can. We made it to the assortment of different alcoholic drinks and sodas and she grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniels. She filled the glass about a quarter of the way and then grabbed a coke. She filled the glass the rest of the way with that and then mixed. She turned and looked at me expectantly.

"Captain and coke." I mumbled. It was weird how hot it was to see how well she could mix drinks. She handed me a glass after she mixed it and I took it quickly.

"You're pretty good at mixing drink." I said after I took a swig of my drink.

"Yeah, you kind of have to learn to mix drinks early in my family. I've been doing it since I was ten. Plus you never know when a guys going to slip a roofie into your drink." She said with a wink.

"True, although it's pretty sad when you stoop to the level of drugging a girl. I like to just lie through my teeth and that usually does it." I joked making her roll her eyes.

"I know one day Shawna Brin walked into the locker room saying you read to orphans on weekends. You're lucky she has the IQ of a squirrel." Bridget said as we made our way outside.'

"Yeah not one of my best lines, but it worked." I said smugly. She gave me a pointed look and sat down on one of the patio chairs. I sat beside her and sipped my drink.

"Have I told you, you're a pig lately?" She asked.

"If by lately you mean in the last 5 minutes than yes." I said sarcastically. She punched my arm lightly. Suddenly Nathan walked through the door, or more fell. He looked winded and as if a bruise was forming on his cheek. I stood up angrily and stepped in front of Bridget instinctively. He looked past me as if I weren't their and settled his eyes on Bridget.

"Bee, can I talk to you?" He asked her. I felt like bashing his face in. Before I could tell him to screw off Bridget cut me off.

"Sure, but you get one minute before I kick your balls clean off." She growled kicking her chair back. I tried to block her way but she just rolled her eyes.

"Randall I'm fine, it's okay." She said before pushing me out of the way. I sighed and stepped out of her way. I gritted my teeth has he lead her back into the house.

Fifteen minutes later I couldn't take it anymore, I had to go find them. I was well aware of the probability they were making out or worse, but I had to know. I pushed my way through the house and up the stairs. I began with the first door. Their were two people having sex, but thank god it wasn't the two I was looking for. On another plus side I think I learned a new sex position. A very awkward one that is. I continued down the hallway and every room came up empty. I could finally let out the sigh of relief I was holding in. I shuffled downstairs and continued my search. I stepped outside of the side door, the closest door and looked around. The yard seemed to be empty, but I could hear voices out front.

I stopped walking when I realized who the voices belong to.

"So you're saying Tina broke into your phone and stole the pictures?" I heard Bridget say.

"Yeah I'm so sorry, for all the trouble this has caused. I broke up with her though, we are through." Nathan said firmly.

"Okay well I'm going to go find Randall, he's probably freaking out." I heard Bridget say barely audible.

"Wait Bee." I heard Nathan say. I snaked my head around the corner so I could see them through the bushes.

"I've missed you, I want you back." My stomach dropped immediately.

"Nate, it's over I told you I'm not going down that road again." She said with a sigh and I could feel my spirits rising. Until he kissed her. I felt every muscle in my body tense. I wanted to rip his head off, I wanted to go tell him she was mine. My legs stayed still though as if I was paralyzed. Instead of killing him I took the next best option. I walked away.
