CRUSH RELOADED

Chapter 4

Hannah picked me up just after Lexa called to ask one more time if I was free. I said no and the usual blah, blah, blah. Tonight is my night

"I want you to meet my friends." Hannah said as they walked inside the beautiful space. Everyone was in a suite and gorgeous dresses for the women. "The only thing talk about here how much money they have and how to get more of that."

Laughing but not really laughing. Something keeps tagging at me but whatever it is must be nerves. "The deco was nicely though. You should thank the person yourself."

What?

Everything was fine ten minutes ago. Walking up the stairs were the V.I.P party was taking place I spot the person I didn't want to see tonight. Hannah seems really excited I can't escape because we seem to be heading in that direction.

That's when I see Lexa's friend Alison. My eyes are back on the brunette dancing sexually next to my baby who is just leaning on the railings while nursing her drink. What? Is Ontari giving her a show now?

"You will love my friends, don't take anything Spencer or Alison say to heart. They can be sarcastic and come off rude depending on the move."

"Wouldn't worry about that."

I have bigger fish to fry.

Ontari throws her hand in the air and the shirt she's calling a dress raises, her ass is almost hanging. All it take is for her to pick up something and everything is on display and I don't like how close she's standing next to Lexa.

My hand is pulled through the crowd as I burn holes on Ontari's hand that's pulling Lexa, wanting to get her to dance with her. I'd be mad but my cup is full and about to spill.

"Hannah! You made it." A short brunette woman walks up to us, giving Hannah a hug.

When they part and exchange a few words. "Aria this..."

"Clarke." The woman completes the sentence for Hannah who is smiling like crazy. "That's all she talks about, nice meeting you." We reach the table and Alison gives me a weird look. Bitch I know, relax.

"Alison where is Lexa?" Hannah asked, this was awkward. I mean Alison knows me and I'm sure by how everything is turning up Hannah feels less friendly.

Speaking of the devil she strode right at us. "What did I miss?" her voice thick, alerting me on my next fuck up. I should put a sign on my head

Wait a minute I did nothing wrong.

"Lexa meet Clarke." Her eyes didn't even flitch, not surprised I guess. "Lexa is really smart, girl gives Spencer a run for her money." The group laughs including Lexa who chuckles like there is nothing off.

"Well this a small world. I know her."

"Great, then let's flip this party up." For a second I thought Lea would acknowledge me head on but instead she walked back to Ontari, Alison and Spencer whose being on her phone since we got here get up as well.

Fuck, I should have said something or maybe kissed her.

Damn this is a mess.

This party was defiantly a social networking event. You wouldn't know by the kind of music and how loud it is, I guess business deals can be pulled off at any scene.

After she walked off I did not see Lexa or Ontari. Alison kept her mouth occupied so that I couldn't ask with someone called Emily. Excusing myself from Hannah who was so much fun I decided to look for Lexa.

Not going to lie, a few minutes later I gave up. These heels where killing me so I decided to head to the bathroom. Inside, the mirror had a crack on it. Voices where heard in one of the stall at the far end.

"What the fuck is wrong with her?" It was Lexa's voice.

"Ease up, Becca is here tonight and you haven't talked to her yet so ease up you already busted your arm and you know she goes back to Trikru tomorrow." Silence washes over them, they know someone is inside the toilet but I guess they don't care, as long as they are not seen.

My hands are trembling, I want to knock on the door but I'm ashamed. A hiss followed by a groan sound fills the room. Tears sting my eye. Suddenly they laughing and the click sounds has me bolting from the room.

All the sudden I'm recalling the time Lexa was mad at school when I just got there and Ontari was always there for her.

Always.
