Undeniable

Ibiza Pt 2

Bianca's breath hitched. The sight of Jade dancing with someone else, seeing her so close to another woman, was almost too much to bear. She wanted to storm over and pull Jade away, to tell her that she was being foolish and that she couldn't stand the thought of anyone else being with her. But she felt paralyzed, her feet rooted to the spot as she watched them dance.

Instead of storming over to them like she wanted to do, she decided to calm her emotions with a drink. She headed to the bar, a sleek and modern setup with a marble countertop and soft, ambient lighting. Bottles of various spirits were displayed neatly behind the counter, and the bartender moved swiftly, attending to patrons with practiced efficiency.

She reached the bar and quickly asked for a tequila shot. The bartender was quick and efficient as he poured the Casamigos into the shot glass. Bianca stared down at the shot glass, getting lost in her thoughts. She couldn't help but look over her shoulder and watch as the woman pushed her body into Jade's. She hadn't even drunk her shot yet, and she already had a nasty taste in her mouth. When Jade looked up, Bianca wondered if Jade could feel her eyes on them. They held a stare. The urge to storm the dance floor and reclaim the woman that she knew was meant to be hers inspired Bianca to take a step, but she stopped when the woman grabbed Jade gently by her chin to refocus her attention. Quickly, Bianca turned around and downed her shot. She decided to chance looking at the pair again, and the longer she looked, the more her confidence dwindled. Jade appeared to be having too much fun.

Jade was dancing closely with the woman, her hands resting on her waist as they swayed to the music. They moved in perfect rhythm, their bodies seemingly made for each other.

Bianca almost felt sick to her stomach as she watched them. Her attention was so focused on Jade and her new friend that she didn't even realize there was another pair of eyes watching her until suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head slightly to see who was trying to get her attention. The tall, muscular man who resembled Tyler Lepley smiled at her.

"You're Bianca Belair, right? I saw your match tonight." He paused, waiting for a response that did not come. "I'm Brandon, I'm a big fan." He elaborated, wanting to further the conversation. Bianca was only halfway paying attention but managed to utter a dry "Thanks." Her eyes were still glued to Jade.

"We can join them?" he said, after following her line of sight. Bianca started to scoff and turn him down, but then she noticed the woman putting her arms around Jade's neck and quickly changed her mind. "Come on," she said abruptly, dragging him to the dance floor.

Jade tried to focus on Eva and her movements to the music, but her eyes kept drifting to Bianca, who was dancing right beside her. She had been watching Bianca since she exited the bathroom, and when their eyes met earlier, Jade almost believed that the jealousy so evident in Bianca's expression would finally spur her to run towards her. But she didn't. Instead, Bianca ended up dancing with some guy, and it was driving Jade crazy. As the DJ switched to "Tyrant" by Beyonce, the guy immediately grabbed Bianca by the waist. He wasn't small, but Jade was certain she could take him down effortlessly without even breaking a sweat. Though she wasn't planning to, the thought was tempting as she watched him touch her. It irritated her to no end.

Jade and Bianca couldn't keep their eyes off each other, their glances charged with a mixture of longing and frustration. Every sway of Bianca's hips, every subtle glance she threw her way, only fueled the fire inside Jade. Eva noticed the tension and the way Jade's attention kept drifting. Annoyed, Eva tried to guide Jade further away from Bianca, not enjoying the competition for her attention.

"If she wanted to be over here, she would, but she's not. I am," Eva whispered into Jade's ear, making her look at Eva. Jade was on the verge of snapping, her anger bubbling to the surface. But before she could respond, Eva took her by surprise and kissed her. Stunned, Jade pulled away.
