Ninth Grade

Part Four: Closer

    "Jack you need to come closer," Sunny said pushing me closer to Urban. God, I hate her right now.
  "Why can't I dance with you?" I asked still dancing.
  "Because I don't want your bits on me," Sunshine said. "It's one, two, three, four step to the right! Move Jack!" Sunny pushed me on the couch and started dancing with Urban. I know this man is trying so hard not to get bricked up.
"Bitch you're not even paying attention!" Sunshine shouted hitting the back of my head then sitting down.
"My dance partner keeps trying to lead!" I argued.
  "I've never followed," Urban shrugged. "Hey, Mrs. Porter."
"Hi, Urban. Sunny you didn't tell me you were having your friends over. Where's Venus?"

"Jack's trying to learn bachata to impress Venus and he's ass," Sunny explained.
"I'm not that bad!" I protested. "She's making me dance with Urban."
  "Sunshine," her mom said with a stern tone. Sunny rolled her eyes getting up and standing in front of me.
"This is as close as you'll ever get," she said under her breath.
"I rather hold a cactus than you believe me," I said while getting ready.

    As the music started playing, her mom began instructing me.
  "Aw there you go Jack!" Mrs. Porter said while clapping.
  "I just had a bad teacher huh?" I said looking at Sunny. Her big footed as stepped on my toes then sat on the couch fuming.
"You should join the circus with your clown ass feet!" I exclaimed while rubbing my foot.
"Mom!"
"You do have your dad's feet," Mrs. Porter laughed. I sat down next to Urban as Sunny went back and forth with her mom.
  "Vee texted you," Urb said while passing me my phone. "Seemed important."

Venus' pov

    Jack ran his hand up my thigh as we made out eagerly. My feelings for him and raging teenage hormones are why I'm allowing him to kiss me, but what's his reason?
"Jackman," I said breaking the kiss.
"Did I go too far?" He asked looking concerned.
"What? No, um I wanted to know about the girl you like," I replied moving off of him.
"You stopped kissing me because you wanna know about my crush?"
"Yeah. Like why aren't you kissing her."
"I'm a sixteen year old boy, I'll kiss whoever has big boobs and a nice ass," he answered.
"You think I have a nice ass?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"A-ah um, w... who do you like?" Jack questioned.
"You're so cute when you're embarrassed! Tell me how often do you look at my butt," I giggled.
"I don't look! I only look at your face!"
"I've caught you looking before! Why are you lying?!"
"I thought we were supposed to talk about the girl I like, not whether or not I look at your peach butt, which I don't!" Jack said.

"Actually I don't wanna talk about her anymore," I said pulling him close to me. "I wanna..." Jackman gulped as our noses touched, his face flushed a bright shade of red.
"...go and get something to eat," I finished pushing him back and getting out of my bed. "I'm paying!"
"You're sick for that Vee," Jack grumbled as he placed his arm in front of himself awkwardly.
"I want barbecue, does that sound okay?"
"Sick! But yeah I'm down for some barbecue," he said rolling out of my bed.
