The New Girl

chapter 36

Lucy's pov

The guy came back with our drinks Toni handed him the money, she took my hand and led me to where the group was sitting, we slid into the space in the booth across from Ellie and James, I jumped a little from the unexpected contact from Toni placing her hand on my thigh, she smiles at me and I smile back, with how load the music was I could barely hear anyone talking so I just sat the smiling when anyone tried to talk to me, I felt Toni's hand disappear but then appear again on my hand, "hey do you want to dance" I hear Toni say in my ear, I turn to her and smile, she gets up and holds out her hand I take and she leads me to the dance floor where other people are squished together, we find a space Toni turns to me smiling placing her hands on my hip swaying to the music, I place my hands around the back of her neck, we start swaying to the music when I turn around rubbing my back on her stomach wrapping my arm around her neck and my head on the other side, she places her hands at my waist turning me round in one swift move she pulls me closer planting her lips on mine, we break apart for air, when a new song comes on, still holding on to my waist she spins me around again placing her head on my shoulder, dancing along to the song again we glide in a motionless movement, swaying along to the song the song beat changed and the people around us started jumping and moving against each body around them, which we joined in throwing our arms in the air we was joined by the rest of the group jumping and dancing around with not a care in the world, it was the most fun I've had since moving to the new school, I felt Toni's arms wrap around my waist pulling me closer to her I wrap my arms around her neck pulling her closer, we connect our lips together not caring what anyone thought of us.

We carried on dancing for a while, when I needed a drink, I took Toni's hand and walked over to the booth where our drinks are, I sit down and Toni follows placing her hand on my thigh, she turns to me smiling "are you having fun" she asked, I nodded my head smiling "so how did you know about this place" I asked leaning closer to her ear, "the owner told me about it, she should be in tonight as well" she replied I pulled away seeing her smile, I leaned forward again placing a kiss on her lips I pulled away, "hey I got to go use the toilets, I'll be back" she said smiling I watched as she wondered off into the crowed when the gang came back, "we should do shots" Ellie said everyone nodded their heads, "get one for Toni" I say smiling as James and her leave the table to get the tray of shots, "hey so how are you doing Tricia" I ask as she sits awkwardly next to my brother they have both been acting weird since they got here, "oh, uhm yeah I'm good been doing a lot of school work" she said smiling taking a sip of her drink, I couldn't figure it out but there was definitely something up between these two, "what's going on between you two" I said looking at them both, Tricia choked on her drink and my brothers eyes grew wide, when it clicked "are you guys dating or something" I asked smiling at the reaction they were giving off, "you can't tell Toni, yet I want to" Tricia said, I just smiled and nodded, she smiled back and so did Brett.

Ellie and James came back with the shots, "we got tequila" she said in a high pitch voice, Toni still hadn't come back, I looked around the club when I saw her laughing at a girl leaning against the bar, I felt something build up, it couldn't be jealousy, I don't get jealous, I turned back to the table downing the shot, I saw the last one and downed that, wincing at the taste, "wow that was for Toni" Ellie said "well she's not here" I said getting up, walking over to Toni and this mysterious girl the feeling got worse, yeah okay its jealousy I stop just next to them without them noticing me, I stared at the girl wrapping my arms around her waist she jolted in shock "hey babe, didn't see you there" she says with a smile, "so this is your girlfriend" the mysterious girl said, "yeah, I'm Lucy" I said smiling extending my hand out to her she takes it and smiles, "I'm the owner, Kate, Toni's cousin" she said with a smile I felt stupid and a bit dizzy, "hey are you okay" Toni said looking at me, I shook my head "I think I need some air" I said I felt Toni's arms move around me so she could help me walk out with her cousin following behind we walked out to the beer garden, Toni sat me down at the first bench we got to "what happened" Toni asked looking worried, I breathed in and out, "uhm, Ellie and James got shots and I did mine and yours" I said placing my head in my hands, "I feel so embarrassed" I said, I felt an arm go round my shoulders then being pulled into a body, I knew it was Toni by the smell of her perfume, dropping my hands I push my face into her chest, I felt her hand move to my head, "hey it's okay" feeling her rub soothing circles in my hair, I lift my head smiling at her placing a kiss on her cheek I take her hand, "sorry, that we are meeting like this" I said looking up to Kate she smiled passing me a glass of water, "it's okay everyone drinks to much then they should" she said kneeling in front of me.
