Jade decided to let Xie be just friends with her like he said, but Adrian didn't need to know about it.

That week Adrian and she barely spoke, with the school and sorority meeting and with her tutoring the girls like she promised, things were a bit hectic for her so she wasn't seeing most of Adrian

It was Friday and she was happy to be going home early that day, she didn't expect Xie to be waiting outside her class.

He wore black jeans and a black shirt topped with a black jacket, had he never worn any other color? Jade thought.

The girls kept eyeing him as they walked, his hair was packed to the back and a few strands were falling on his face.

She could understand why they were drooling, he looked super attractive and she was aware of it, but she was in love with Adrian and didn't want further distractions.

He met her half way, "Hey beauty. " He tried to hug her, but she pushed his hands away. "Don't embarrass me. " she told him

"Embarrass?" He scoffed. "If anything, it will make you quite a famous baby girl. " He sleeved his hand in his hair. "Eww" they both laughed.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him as they walked.
"Nothing, just checking on you." he told her.

"Really now?" She raised her brows. He chuckled "Maybe I want to invite you to my party at my place, come with your girls" he said.

"I want to have some rest, this week wasn't funny for me" she explained. "The more reason why you should come and enjoy yourself" he persuaded.

"I don't know Xie" he bit his lower lip, "I'll pick you up at 9pm" he said

"I have my car." she told him.
"As you wish." he kissed her hand and walked off.

When she arrived with the girls, the party was in full swing. She took out her phone and texted Adrian. "Good night babe, love you". She put her phone back in her purse and they went in.

She found Xie at the bar, he was defiantly a drinker else who had a bar in their house just like that?

" You made it, " he grinned as he shouted over the music, Jade nodded as he drew a chair out for her.

The rest of the girls just waved at him and joined the crowd, they were extremely excited when she invited them to one of the best party holders, place, it was off campus, since people strictly came to invite, it was a first time for some.

Xie poured out a drink for her. "No just soda is fine, " she said, but he didn't hear her above the noise so he leaned in close. "Say what?" He asked in her ear.

"Just soda is fine, " she told him, their breaths mingling, he smelled of alcohol but she was used to that smell by now.

"Try something new today, just a drink won't hurt, " he whispered, his eyes lingered on her lips for a moment.

She wanted to reject, but his eyes were pleading so she accepted, besides it was just a drink. She nodded

He punched his fist in the air and poured her a different drink, then he mixed some soda in it. He leaned in again "Less alcohol, " he told her.

She braced herself and downed the drink at once. It didn't taste as bad as she thought, it tasted warm and sweet and it smelled like berries.

"Like it?" He asked "Yeah, " she nodded. "Want to dance?" He offered his hand.

"No, never." she declined
"Come on...." He dragged her to the dancing bodies.

He placed her hand on his shoulder and he's put his hand on her lower back and they began to move.

He leaned in closer, making their chests touch "Don't be shy baby girl". It wasn't the alcohol that made her feel the warmth of his body, in fact, she wasn't nearly half drunk the drink only made her less tense and more free

They swayed their hips to the music and his hand slowly went down to her waist, but he wasn't grinding on her like the rest, he was being careful not to anger her.

After some time, she decided she needed the restroom, this time she leaned in and told him " I need to use the restroom".

"Okay, come with me." he told her, he took her hand and lead her away from the dance floor, they past a bunch of drunk people on the stairs and another bunch of people making out in the hallway.

"Get a room" Xie snapped at them. Jade gulped down hard, she was slowly getting used to seeing it.

They were never really a party she attended that didn't have a bunch of drunkards or people making out around in them and at Xie's party they were doing drugs too

He led her to a room and fished the keys in his pocket and held the door for her to go in. "The bathroom is that way. He told her.

"Thank you." she went in, after peeing and cleaning up, she turned the faucet on and washed her hands clean, she looked into the mirror and saw a different girl, she had changed.

Her black dress pushed her cleavage out in an attractive way, it hugged tight to her body exposing her wide hips, the gown didn't reach her mid thigh.

The heels made her taller and her sandy blonde hair was curled and tied loosely on her head, with intentional strands falling out and she wore makeup on.

If anyone had told her she could look like this then she would have denied it

She looked just like the classy girls, she didn't look shabby and she didn't hide
Anymore, now she was a strong and beautiful woman, nobody could pick on her anymore

She liked what she looked like and felt proud of what she had become, imagine a man like Xie fawning over her like she was important, never could she have thought that.

She shook her head and cleared the thoughts from her head, Adrian had texted her back. I love you princess take care and lets meet tomorrow".

She met Xie on the door when she got out.
"I was about to go in, are you alright?" He asked her

Yeah, "" she closed the door
"Just a bit dizzy" she told him
"You can rest here for a while, come, sit, "he showed her to the bed and sat beside her.

"Is this your room?" she asked as her eyes scanned the room, she felt like a child again.

"Yeah, my humble abode
" he gestured his hands in the air
Then silence followed, it was beginning to feel awkward.

"Do you hate me?" He broke the silence

"Why would I?" She shrugged
"Maybe because you keep pushing me away and your always rude to me, " he said softly, his eyes scanned her face and rested on her mouth.

"I don't know, maybe because, I don't trust you, I don't know if you just want to be friends" she laid down on her back

His eyes followed her every move. "There's more I want, but if you are not comfortable with it, then we'll just be friends" he said

"More like what?" She asked
"You want to know?" He whispered. She almost said no because his eyes darkened in that moment, but her mouth was loose so she said "yes"

He drew closer to her, and her heart started to beat frantically, what was he doing?

When his face was inches from hers, she spoke. "You know the music isn't so loud here so you don't need to lean so close to talk" she swallowed hard.

He stared at her hard, then his eyes trailed down to her mouth again "But i need to be this close to communicate this".

He slammed his mouth on hers and kissed her hard, she was shocked at first, but then it registered in her mind what his last words meant.

She just lay there as he kissed her, she was about to find out if only Adrian could make her wild. He trailed his hands over her breast down to her thighs and heat rushed through her.

He nibbled on her lower lips and it sent surging waves through her. " Kiss me back, " he told her
"No, since you didn't ask me, do it alone" she said

This seemed to hit him, and he got up. " I'm sorry, I got carried away, " he apologized
She nodded "It's fine, it wasn't bad anyway." she smiled and they both laughed.
