Heartbeat

2- Payback

The drive to the party wasn't long. As I stepped out I already felt the stares and heard the whispers. It did make me feel uncomfortable but I knew what I had to do.

MAKE. XAUN. PAY!

I lifted my head up and walked into the party, leaving Ellie to park her car somewhere. The music was loud as it could be heard from outside. As I entered the building the smell of alcohol and sweat entered my nose, almost making me gag. I stood by a table and waited for Ellie.

"GIRL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Ellie shouted.
"WHAT?!" I shouted back
"IM GOING TO GET YOU A DRINK!" She winked at me and I just giggled and nodded a yes. I mean, I didn't come here to just stand around so what could 1 shot do.

After a while one shot turned to 2 , 3 then 4. I was really tipsy at this point but not drunk. Ellie tapped my shoulder and spoke;
"You know there's a cute guy looking at you right now"

I looked around and noticed a brown haired guy with brown eyes and glasses staring at me. I kept eye contact with him for a bit before looking away.

"Well aren't you going to talk to him?" Elle asked
I looked back again and noticed the guys attention was fully okay on me.
I took another shot and walked straight up to him.

I kept eye contact with the guy up until I came close to him, then I spoke,
"Hey"

He was already looking straight at me, well the cleavage my dress exposed.
"Hey," he replied back.
"What's someone as pretty as you doing here, let me guess.. having fun with your boyfriend?"

I giggled a little bit,
"Oh how I wish, but no I'm just here with my friend, what about you, are you here with anyone?"

"Nope I'm here all alone" he replied,
"It's kinda hard to find someone to come with when they're all busy with exams and stuff."

I understood what he was saying, most people here were either crashing the party, didn't care about school or ahead of their class to even give a fuck.

"Mm I get you" I looked at his lips then his eyes before speaking again,
"So if we were to do something do you think anyone would even notice?" He asked

I already knew where this was going and to be honest I wasn't ready. I hadn't slept with anyone other than Xaun. It sounds sad I know, but I really didn't want to be known as that type of girl.

I took a deep breathe and faked thinking about it, looking to the side of me where I saw Xuan EYEING me. He had a bunch of girls touching him across his chest whilst he sipped on his drink, still of cause, looking at me.

I held eye contact for a bit before returning my eyes back to the guy in front of me.
"This is my chance" I thought.

"Hm I don't think anyone would notice and even if they do, that wouldn't stop me." I said looking directly at the guy.
"Oh really" he replied moving closer to me.
"Yes really"
We both moved closer to each other only inches away before kissing.

The kiss wasn't passionate, it was more rough and desperate. Whilst kissing him I opened my eyes to look at Xaun who was sitting in shock whilst gawking at me. He looked angry. I closed my eyes back and carried on kissing. That was before I felt someone being pulled away from me.

I opened my eyes and saw Xaun gripping the guy by his collar moving him away from me. He looked like he was about to kill the guy.
I ran after him and ended up stopping him but only barley as Xaun already punched him in the face, twice.

"Xaun I'm no longer yours or your priority anymore, stop butting in my life" I said to him whilst pacing around in the toilet. When I finally got him off the guy this was the first place I was able to take him to for some privacy.

"What did you just say?"

I stopped and looked at him when he asked me that question.
"What do you mean what did I just say?"

He came closer to me and grabbed the side of my arms, tightly. I suddenly wasn't able to breathe, all I could do was look at him.

"You are mine and will always be mine, just because we're not together anymore do you think you're allowed to be with other guys, talking them and even kis"-

"Xuan"- he stopped and darted a glare towards me.

"I think you forgot who you belong to, maybe it's time for me to remind you"
