Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 50 - Earned It

  "Hi I'm Jake. Nice to meet you Paige." Jake Miller shook my hand, and I almost fangirled.

"Hi Jake! Nice to meet you too!" I smiled.

"JAKE!" Someone yelled over the music. He looked back and spotted the guy.

"Excuse me." He politely bowed his head and walked in the other direction. I've met like 15 new people at this party. I had no idea Matt had so much connections. Even Justin is here- well, I think. I haven't seen him yet.

I set my cup on the counter and began walking towards the bathroom as a Drake song played. When I walked down the hall, the sound of people yelling and laughing and conversating slowly faded.

I opened the door to the bathroom and walked inside. When I shut it, I could hear the booming of the music through the walls. I looked at my reflection. My tight black dress perfectly complimented my figure. My long dark hair was curled, like the best I've ever seen it. My makeup was also outstanding and I was definitely feeling confident.

I sat on the counter and scrolled through my phone.

Totally unexpectedly, the bathroom door opened. I looked up.

"Oh, sorry." Madison looked at me.

"You're fine I'm just scrolling through Twitter." I smiled.

"In the bathroom?" She giggled.

"I've been taking to people the entire night, I just wanted a break from all the noise for a second." I said. She came inside and closed the door.

"Can I tell you a little something?" She got closer to me.

"Yeah.. sure?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Jack flirts with a lot of girls out there." She sat on the counter next to me. "Everytime you're not looking." She looked at her shoes.

"Like, how?" I asked.

"He keeps checking Yovanna Ventura out. Like crazy. He told her she was pretty."

"But who wouldn't? She's like the dream girl for everyone." I tried to act cool about it. Inside, my pulse sped up and I got angry.

"Understand that I'm just trying to be a friend. Do you want to go see?" She stood up.

Hesitantly, I nodded. I gave myself one last glance in the mirror, noticing how much me and Madison look alike. We both walked out together.

"He's in the back." She yelled over the music. I followed her to the back of Matt's house. Who knew he had the power to throw a crazy party like this?! I guess since him and Justin are friends, Justin hooks him up with a lot of his people.

"Look." She stopped at the corner of the wall and pointed towards Jack, who was in fact talking to Yovanna. The most gorgeous model I've ever seen. The way she smiled at Jack was making me pissed off.

I looked around for a moment until Madison tapped my arm. "Look!" She said. I looked over at Jack, who was touching her hair. They were both laughing. Alright, I'm not going to let this happen. No.

I started storming into their direction, and Madison stopped me. "Don't make a scene!" She said. I looked at her for a brief moment, and then I had an idea.

I went into the other direction and began looking for someone. When I spotted him, I approached him as flirty as possible.

"Hey Jake, wanna dance with me over there?" I smiled.

He bit his bottom lip and grinned at me. "Hell yeah!" He walked behind me as I led him directly to where Jack and Yovanna are. I guess Jack thinks that he isn't in a damn relationship tonight or something.

I began dancing with Jake, laughing as loud as possible so Jack would hear. We both were dancing silly, and Jake was legitimately making me go all crazy heart eyes.

"You're a good dancer!" He laughed.

"Definitely not!" I blushed a little.

He took me into a dancing position, as if we were going to do the salsa. I giggled as we swayed back and forth to the upbeat music.

"Ooh, I want the time of my life." The music blasted throughout the house. Still, Jack didn't notice us dancing.

About 30 seconds later, a slow song came on. 'Earned it' by The Weeknd.

"Dance with me?" He held his arms out.

I nodded and accepted his gesture. There were like 9 other couples dancing as well. I put my hands on his shoulders and he put his arms around my waist.

"So, Paige, what's with you and me? I feel like we're bonding." He looked at me.

I giggled. "Um, what?"

"I don't know. You're just so chill. I like it." He shrugged.

"You're pretty cool too." I grinned.

"Yeah, bro? Get the fuck away from my girlfriend." Jack interrupted us. I quickly took my hands off of Jake.

"Your girlfriend?" Jake looked at Jack, then at me. "Jack's your boyfriend?"

"I never told you I was single." I looked at the ground.

"Okay, well I assumed you were? You wanted to dance with me."

"What the hell, Paige? What's your problem?" Jack looked me dead in the eyes.

"Does Yovanna over there know you have a girlfriend?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. She does. She has a boyfriend." He folded his arms.

"Obviously this is a personal matter. I'll leave.. Thanks for dancing Paige." Jake slowly walked away.

"I'm sorry. I saw you touching her hair and laughing and it made me furious." I looked away from him.

"Just because I talk to one other girl on one night does not mean that I'm interested. You've been with me for almost a year now, and you'll be mine forever. Stop thinking different."

He put his arms around my waist, so I put my arms around his shoulder. We slowly rocked back and forth to the music.

"You look stunning. You're honestly the prettiest girl here, I wish you would've stuck my side the entire night so I could show you off."

I smiled and looked up at him. "I absolutely love you. To death."

"I love you too." He pulled me into a tight hug. I closed my eyes for a short moment, and when I opened them I noticed someone in the dark hallway.

Wait.. Ava?
