Desire C.B

This chapter contains sexual themes, read with caution.

*Leighton's POV*

"Awe you came! What happened?" Aaliyah asked, handing me a glass, reassuring me it was sparkling cider. "Didn't want you to feel left out" She gave me a smile and I nodded, taking a sip from the glass.

"Thank you, and what do you mean what happened? Can't I hang out with my best friend on New Year's Eve?" I asked and she eyed me.

"Leigh"

"What?"

"Spill it"

"Fine. Colby and I got in a fight"

"Oh no! Why?"

"I don't want to worry about that now. I just want to be twenty one for a few hours. Now, is there anyone here who is too drunk to look at my body?" I asked and she laughed. 

"What, are you planning on getting laid tonight?" She asked and I blushed, pursing my lips.

"I stopped bleeding, and the way Colby was kissing my neck I need to let off some sexual tension before I see him again and as many toys as there is, being fucked isn't the same" 

"You losers kissed again huh?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and I nodded, drinking from the transparent party glass.

"Yeah and then we bitched at each other because ya know, I want to protect my child and he wants to fuck me" I shrugged and she laughed.

"He said that?" She asked and I groaned.

"No. He said he fell for me, and then he was all like "Well I don't know if it's love, maybe it's respect" I spoke in a mockery tone which made her chuckle, "And it all fell apart. It went from, what should I wear to Leigh, date me. Love me, let me love your daughter. Move in with me" 

"Ah, feeling trapped huh? Reminding you of someone?" She asked and I sighed, glancing around the party.

"Where's River?" I asked, not having seen him yet.

"Tennessee" 

"What?! Why?" 

"House hunting" She mumbled and my eyes widened.

"What?!"

"Yeah, with his family stuff, he's moving back home in February... he needs to be there for them" 

"So you're doing long distance then?" I asked and she stayed quiet. "Aaliyah? You're doing long distance right?"

"Leigh-"

"No. No no no no no! You can't leave me! What the fuck Aaliyah!?!"

"Leigh I.. I love him. I want to marry him. I need to be there for him"

"So you're both just going to leave me in February? I'm losing my baby daddy and my best friend?! Well isn't this New Years a fucking happily ever after huh?" I grumbled, downing the end of the sparkling cider, wishing it was something more.

"Hey hey hey, none of that!" She lectured, snatching the glass. "You're not going to simulate being an alcoholic because you're mad. Get your shit together"  

"Might as well be an alcoholic. Add to my shit new year" I grumbled and she glared at me.

"You don't mean that"

"You know Aaliyah, I don't know what I mean anymore. Maybe I do mean that. Maybe I don't. But hey, you'll be in Tennessee so who cares" I shrugged and walked past her, ignoring her yelling after me.

"Leigh for fuck sake stop walking away. After all, I have an outfit for you" She grumbled, tugging me back to her.
