Part 1
God, fuck why did I have to come to this wedding, everyone knows that I hate being around people, I couldn't stop thinking of excuses to leave this party before I go insane. I feel around in my pocket for my stash and look for an exit to take a breather. I walked to the front doors and as I walked forward I bumped into someone and we both fell. I dropped my stash and she dropped her phone, "hey watch where you're going", she got off the floor and brushed herself off.
I picked up my stash and my phone off the floor, she gave me an annoyed look and walked away back toward the party. As I am standing outside I breathe in that familiar air into my body and I soon start to relax for the first time since this night started. My mind kept going back to that girl I ran into, I haven't seen her before but she must know Daii and Mayo to be here or maybe she is just a plus one for someone here. I'm not sure how long I was standing outside for but then I see the door to the building open and I see Navi poke her head out of the doorway and look around until her eyes land on me.
"Niki, where have you been? I have been looking for you for half an hour." she comes closer and she can see the look in my eyes and knows without asking what I've been up to. She drags me along back inside to the party. "They are about to cut the wedding cake and I've been wanting to introduce you to someone all night. My brain is still somewhat in a fog so I don't notice when we walk up to the person who I was supposed to meet.
"Niki, this is Jazzy, my friend from high school. Jazzy, this is Niki also known as Kokayne." I look up and both me and the girl I now know as Jazzy make glaring faces at one another. Before I can get a word out she starts the now awkward small talk conversation. "You're the guy that knocked me down right? I didn't realize that we knew the same person, small world isn't it." she says this while looking at me I guess trying to figure out how we can both be friends with the same people.
This girl's attitude is slowly pissing me off but also not in a bad way. We all turn around when we hear clapping coming from the front of the room. "I guess the cake has been cut" I said and we all started walking toward the crowd in front of the cake table. After the cake and a few more drinks everyone started making their way to the dance floor. I laugh as I see Navi dancing with Jazzy, but I wouldn't be caught dead dancing.
After a few songs, a couple of people including Navi and Jazzy went to the open bar. "Finally something I can join." I walk over to the bar and ask the bartender for a drink. I look over and see both girls taking shots and laugh a little to myself, Jazzy is kinda cute actually. "So, we are taking shots now huh? Where was my invitation for this? '' They both stopped and looked at me and Navi handed me a glass which I presume is either tequila or vodka. I took the shot down and quickly found out that it was both.
After a few more rounds of shots the party was starting to feel a lot more fun. "Hey, Niki was your name right?" her words were starting to blend together but I could still understand her. "Yeah, but you can call me Kokayne. It's nothing personal, I just don't know you that well." Jazzy nodded her head in response, she left the table we were at to go up to the bar. When she came back I could see something in her hand but I couldn't make it out.
When she sat back down at the table she held a knife in her hand moving it back and forth between her fingers. Damn she looks sexy doing that. "So, how about we play a game huh?" She stabs the knife into the table which makes the table slightly shake. Jazzy stares at me while her hand is still on the knife, "sure, what game do you have in mind?" I kept my eyes fixed on her as well, becoming an impromptu staring match.
We each laid one hand on the table, Jazzy took the knife that was stabbed into the table and placed it in between us. After deciding who was going first which came to be her I picked up the knife and with her hand on the table with her fingers spread apart I slowly started going in and out of each space in her hand. We both kept our eyes locked on one another, I upped the speed of the dance with the knife I was having. She didn't show it but I could tell that she was starting to get nervous with each stab to the table.
"Don't tell me that you are getting scared? You wanted to play this game right Jazzy." the expression on her face changed when I said this. She grabbed my hand that had the knife and took the knife from me. "You're right this was my idea so I think it's time to switch places huh.'' She moved her hand from the table and replaced it with mine. Just like I did she started moving the knife slowly like she was trying to build the tension. My heart was starting to race against my chest but I couldn't tell whether it was from the knife game or the person playing the game with me.
After a few more passes I grabbed her hand like she did mine. "What are you scared of now or is something else on your mind" she had this smirk on her face that was annoying me but I didn't hate it. I took her hand and the knife and told her to follow me. We went back out of the reception area and to the front of the building where we first bumped into each other. She kept asking me where we were going but to be honest I wasn't sure myself. All I knew was that I wanted to be alone with her and I knew the perfect place for it.
