The rouge gunslinger

16

It wasn't long until The party was in full swing. Songs, drinks and dance is all that I could see and it made me smile. I honestly thought that I would never return, wether it was due to them moving on or my death.
But I'm back.
Hosea's arm is over my shoulder as we dance with the group.
Jack is sitting on johns shoulder as they sing along with uncle who started some sort of bar song.

"I'd like to say something real fast" Dutch shouts out as the song ends.
Everyone turns their attention towards Dutch as he raises his drink.
"I'd like to thank our new friends first, for returning Jack and for aiding us... secondly I want to toast to Sean, he's time was cut short way too soon, allow us to party so hard that we honour his reputation!" He says lifting his glass.
"Ay!" Hosea shouts as he drinks.
We all join in and soon we finally go back to talking.

"So Lily, you gonna run off again tomorrow?" Dutch asks as Lily snaps out of her trance.
"Not now Dutch" Hosea says squeezing lily's shoulder.
"I just want to know if I should buy another cot for her. Either way, your welcome here" Dutch say smiling at her.
"Thank you Dutch" I say as he nods before walking off to sit next to Arthur.

"Alright hosea let's see how well you can dance" I say before downing the last of my bottle and throwing it to the side.
"Oh I don't do that anymore... Hey Charles! Get over here!" Hosea shouts as I smile at him.
Charle silently approach's and stops infront of them.

"Yo" he says sipping his drink.
"Can you give Lily here a dance for me? I can't move so well anymore" charle puts his drink down at the request as I mumble:
"Bullshit" With a laugh as charle smiles and offers a hand.
"Would you care to dance?" He asks politely.

I takes his hand and they move over to the fire.
"I warn you, I've never danced this sober before" I joke.
"And I haven't danced this drunk" he says as he stops and takes my hands in his.
I laugh as we start swaying with the music, her partner singing as he dances.
He twirls me and i laughs as looks past me and I watch his smile widen.
"Who's the lucky women?" I ask as he looks down at me.

"Their is none" he says as I shuffle closer.
"That's a shame, their missing out on a good dancing partner" I joke as he twirls me again.
"How about you?" He asks as he cranes his head down to her ear so she can hear him over uncles voice.
"No one at the moment, you interested" I flirt as he laughs in embarrassment.

"The only thing I'm interest in is why Arthur is staring at us, I was wondering if I was stepping on forbidden territory" he jokes as I brush an hand up his arm.
"Of course not, at least, not that I'm aware off" I say with a smirk.
"Your mischievous" he says with a smile.

"I'm gonna go get another drink" I say realising how sober I am.
"Hope I didn't make you nervous"
"Of course not sweetheart, I'm just thirsty" I say as he nods.
I watch him walk away before going over to the box of booze.

"Dancing with Charles now? Gonna try and get with every man in this camp?" Micah asks as he stands next to the box.
I simply take a drink out the box and pop the lid off.
"Oh come on, I just wanted to ask if your down to get down" he says as I bite back my tongue.
"Micah I wouldn't sleep with you if you were the last guy on earth" I say going to walk away only for the drunk fool to grab my wrist.
"Oh come on, I'm not that bad. I'm certain you've had worse" micah begs as he creeps round and leans closer.

"I'm not a whore micah, I won't sleep with you"
"Oh come on-"
"We got a problem here?" John asks stepping over to the box.
"Not at all, just talking"
"If that's the case then I suggest you take your hands off her and step back" John insists as he steps just behind me.

"You really do have everyone at you ankles don't you?" Micah asks as he takes his hand away.
"Piss off micah, I'm not interested" I say as he snorts.
"Bitch" he says before leaving.
