My Stepdad

The Party

I take his hand and he gently overlaps his fingers with mine. We walk in and immediately my ears are filled with loud music and yelling. I look up at Jasper as his eyes examines the party.

"I'm gonna get myself a drink, since your 18." He looks down at me and slightly smirks. I roll my eyes but nod and release my hand from his.

As I'm looking around a boy catches my eye. A tall handsome blonde. I walk over to him with my lips curled in a innocent smile.

"Hey, what's your name?" I say tapping his shoulder which causes him to pause his dancing and look down at me.

He looks me up and down, but instead of responding with what I expected to be a 'My name is..' or 'Hey' He instead laughs at me. I raise my eyebrow in complete confusion. "Are you trying to flirt with me?" He says clearing noticing that I was into him.

I slightly open my mouth not knowing what to say since I was completely embarrassed but before I could think of anything to say he starts talking again. "Guys look, this chick think she has a chance with me!" He yells over to a group of boys that were close to us.

They walk over, look me up and down in the same humiliating way and chuckle. At this point I feel like curling up and crying in complete embarrassment. I shoot my shot and this happens.

After I listened to them laugh at me long enough I turn around and bang into a hard chest, but immediately recognize the cologne that reared off the man's chest. Jasper.

I looked up at him but his eyes were locked with the boys behind me. "It's okay." I whisper to him obviously recognizing that he was mad at them. He pushes me off him though and stands his place in-front of them. It was then that I noticed Jasper and the boys were the same age. Jasper and the boys looked all around 26.

"Why are you guys making fun of her? Did I miss something?" He says to them. "Nah, she just thinks she has a chance with us." One of the boys says and the others laugh. I yet again place my body in front of Jasper trying to hold him back. "Are you her boyfriend because she's obviously not into you." One of the boys says a smirk across his face.

"Yeah, I am her boyfriend now if you fucks don't leave her alone we're gonna have a problem." Jasper says, his deep voice kicking in. The boys roll their eyes but finally surrender and disappear into the crowd of people.

I look up to Jasper. "So we're dating now?" I say letting a giggle out. "I just said that so they'd leave us alone." He says looking down at me. "Well I appreciate you helping me." I say to him with a smile. He smiles back.

"Want to go upstairs?" He says and your eyes widen in surprise at his words. Upstairs meant being alone, and you weren't sure that was the best idea but obviously that thought wasn't in his mind so you figured it was just you and brushed it off. "Yeah, I'm getting bored anyways."

We follow the others up the stairs which lead us to the second floor of the party which was filled with bedrooms. Some empty and some obviously filled.

Jasper points to an empty room and walks in, you follow. He closes the door behind you and takes off his suit revealing his bare chest. "What are you doing?" You stutter. He looks up at you and realizes what you thought he was doing. A laugh escapes his lips, "You thought?" He laughs again. "I was just hot." He says and lays down on the bed.

I sit down on the edge of the bed. "Truth or dare." I say out of the blue. "Dare." He says sitting up. "I dare you to kiss me." The minute I said it I realized what I actually said. I quickly turn my head to Jasper who's eyes were wide. We locked eyes and for some reason the silence in the room was the loudest thing ever.

He gets up and looks down at me. He slightly kneels down to my level and cups my face. I could tell in that moment he was gonna kiss me, but it was like he remembered something and stopped himself. He backed up slowly, "Your mom." He says and I immediately knew that we needed to get out of here before anything got out of control.

"I'll be in the car." I said and quickly went downstairs and hopped into his car. It was about 5 minutes until I heard the car door open and he sits down. He starts the car and the whole ride not one of us said a thing.

He pulls into the drive way and when he stops the car he sits in silence looking ahead of him. "I'm sorr-" I start to say before he wraps his arms around my waist pulling me in and kissing me.
