Running into the Fire (Skye Blue x OC)

viii

"Why are you out here?" Skye questioned Ryder as she saw him leaning against the doorframe outside of the women's locker room.

"I'm not about to see what goes on in there. Don't fancy getting my ass kicked by all of there husbands and boyfriends...." She laughed before she grabbed his wrist and all but dragged him into the locker room.

"Anna what did you tell him goes on in here?" Anna almost immediately burst out into laughter at Skyes words.

"You're an ass." Ryder said as he cautiously looked around and saw that they were all just getting their makeup and hair done.

"Look.... We made a bet...." Toni said with a laugh before she handed Anna a twenty. Ryder and Skye were both watching as Anna was handed money by the entire locker room.

"What in the fuck did y'all bet on?" Ryder finally questioned as Julia who was the last one to hand over cash laughed.

"Who would be the one to finally question why you were out there. We all asked who. Not why." He shook his head at Julia's words as Anna tried to bite back her laughed.

"Yeah that's not the bet." He said as he looked at Anna.

"Oh you fucking assholes. There is nothing going on between us. They fucking bet on how long it would take for me to find you." Skyes middle finger was shown to the entire locker room as Ryder laughed.

"You are such a fucking ass for taking a picture." He commented as he moved towards Anna.

"What it was cute...." He rolled his eyes before she saw his middle finger extend. "Oooo since you're here you're coming out with us all tonight."

"I'm good...." She rolled her eyes.

"I'm paying, you're coming." It was his turn to roll his eyes. Julia who was next to Anna watching the conversation had to bite back her laughter. They all knew why Anna wanted to get Ryder out to the club and drunk. She wanted to try and hook him and Skye up.

"One drink." A smirk appeared along Anna's lips as she knew that she had won.

"My god he really is like your little brother." Toni commented with a laugh. As the two answered in unison both blondes couldn't help their laughter.

"Unfortunately."

"You're taking the shot." Anna said as she grabbed Ryders arm. He had tried to tell her he was going back to the hotel but she wasn't taking it and neither was Toni who had ordered a round of shots for everyone.

"Stop being a little bitch and have some fun." Skye commented feeling no pain from the alcohol she had consumed. She grabbed the shot from Anna before handing it to Ryder.

"Did you just...?" Skye smirked as she nodded. He couldn't help but shake his head as he laughed, a slight smile along his lips. He took the shot he could see both of them take it along with him.

"About time." Skye stated the smirk still prevalent along her lips. As Anna was dragged away by Jack Perry, Skye turned to Ryder. "Drink or dance?"

"Drink. I don't dance." Her smirk became confident.

"You said that about hugs." He laughed before she turned and ordered drinks for the both of them.

"I'm serious about the dancing though." He could see her eyes roll.

"You say that. But I'll get you drunk enough." A chuckle escaped his lips.

"That won't happen." She turned to look at him, leaning against the bar as her hand moved to rest along his stomach.

"Wanna bet?" Julia who had been watching the interaction with Kris could see the smirk appear along Ryders lips.

"We could but what are we betting?" Skye grabbed his shirt pulling him closer so her lips were next to his ear. Though he was the only one that could hear her words, Julia and Kris could see him smile before he nodded. "That sounds like a bet." Skye turned as their drinks arrived and she couldn't help the fact that her back pressed against his front. She turned back and their eyes met.

"Here's to trying new things." The smirk along her lips was prevalent as she handed him the drink. Their glasses touched before they both took a long sip.

"Damn you like it strong." She couldn't help but laugh at his words. "Oh you're fucking cheating aren't you." His focus fell on her lips as she pulled her lower lip between her teeth. "You're lucky you're...." He stopped his statement and quickly took a drink.

"I'm lucky I'm what?" Her smirk returned as she questioned him. As he took a step forwards she couldn't help but bite her lip as he spoke into her ear. Julia and Kris both had to stop their mouths from dropping as the flirting was blatant between the two. "I'm getting you to dance."

"After another one of these.... Maybe." She grabbed his empty drink before she set it down on the bar.

"Do you really need another?" He bit the inside of his cheek as their eyes met. When his head slowly shook she grabbed his hand before she dragged him to the dance floor.

"Did Ryder leave?" Anna questioned Julia who instantly shook her head as Kris pointed towards the two on the dance floor. "Holy shit...."

"They've got to be fucking." Kris' comment made Anna laugh as she shook her head.

"No they're not. He just likes her." Kris raised an eyebrow at her.

"He likes her too?" Anna's head snapped towards the older woman. "Wait.... You didn't know?" Anna shook her head.

"Oh.... We're figuring out how to set them up." Julia commented before both Kris and Anna laughed.

"I think they're fine. They don't need our help." Kris commented earning a nod from Anna as they all saw Skyes fingers interlock behind Ryders neck. His hands were resting along her hips as they laughed.

"They definitely don't need our help." Anna said as they all saw Skye pull Ryder down before she spoke into his ear. As he turned red they could see her lips along his cheek.

"The flirting is strong with those two." Willow said as she walked up to the group of women who had been watching Ryder and Skye. "I'd say they're going to go back to fuck but they just look like they're having the time of their lives." Skyes hands were along his chest as she talked animatedly to him. He had slowly gotten her off the dance floor silently winning the battle.

"Oh you dickhead I wanted a dance." A slight smirk appeared along Ryders lips at Skyes comment.

"Did you now?" Her eyes met his and she couldn't help the fact that she turned slightly red. "You really don't want to see me dance."

"It can't be that bad." He laughed at her words as he nodded.

"Trust me it is. Even Anna's given up." Her hand grabbed his.

"I'm not giving up. You're dancing with me. Fuck the bet. I just want a dance." Skyes eyes pleaded with him and he couldn't stop himself. Ryders words instantly brought a smile to her lips.

"Fine. One dance."
