Second Chance

Chapter 5

December 5th

My friends love to go clubbing. I don't mind it but I don't particularly think about spending my friday night drinking with a bunch of rondos but I was in the mood tonight and when Ava texted me asking if I wanted to go to this party, I was quick to say yes.

 She and I were doing our makeup in my room and pregaming, blasting music as loud as it can go. I picked out the sluttyest dress I could find. Tight, black, spaghetti straps and a leg slit.

 I may or not be looking for someone tonight and I figured this would do it. As for my hair, I put it up in a messy ponytail. We piled into a limo and headed towards the skyrise that the party is being held at.

Since there's supposed to be a lot of big names here tonight, there was a lot of paparazzi. They snapped pictures of me and Ava as we walked in the building.

 "I hope we meet some hot mother fuckers tonight girl." Ava said to me as we walked up to the elevator. "Me too girl its been too long." She laughed and agreed with me. 

 Music was blasting and the lights were low. It was a really nice vibe. Ava and I ran up to the bar and got two shots each. It burnt like hell all the way down my throat and made me contort my face. 

 "Okay see anyone hot yet?" She asked. I did a quick scan over everyone. A few people stood out to me. "Oh sweet jesus look at that guy there." She pointed to a tall guy with curly brown hair. He was so fine. "Should I go over there?" I asked her. "Fuck yes girl."

 I started walking over to him and swallowed my fear before approaching him. "Hey." I said. He looked down at me and a small smile snuck on his face. "Hey you're Madison right?" I could hardly hear him over the music. "Yeah what's your name?" He took a sip of his beer and leaned down. "Jacob."

"Nice to meet you jacob." He looked me up and down. "Yeah nice to meet you too."

          As the night progressed, Jacob and I got to know each other better. We also got pretty drunk. He kept buying me drinks. I'm not going to complain but jeez.

 I could feel myself getting to that overly flirtatious point of drunkenness that is my ultimate downfall the morning after. "So, wanna tell me why a pretty girl like you is single?"

"Maybe I don't like to be tied down." He smirked. "Oh well there goes my plans for tonight then." I laughed and took a drink. "In that context yeah I love it." He bit his lip and got closer to me. "Why don't we go back to my place then and we can try that out?" I leaned in and got close to his ear. "Without a kiss first?" I whispered.

 His hand snuck around my jaw and he pulled me into a kiss. He tasted of beer and mint gum. He grabbed my jaw and tilted my head to the side and deepened our kiss. I bit his lip when I pulled away and looked at him with a drunk gaze. "You taste so good." He said. 

Just as I was about to say something I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder. It was Billie? He pulled all the way back abruptly and looked between me and her.

 "Billie." I smiled and hugged her tightly. "Hey. How you doin?" She asked, she didn't seem drunk. "Just talking to this gentleman Jacob." I pointed to him. He waved awkwardly.

 "How drunk are you girl?" She asked me as if it isn't obvious. "A little bit." I smiled. She looked me up and down. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" I nodded. "Be right back." I smiled at Jacob.

 Billie grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom. There were a lot of girls in here but it's much quieter than out in the bar.

 "You're wasted Madison." She said as we went into a stall. "I wouldn't say wasted. Id say like fun drunk." She rolled her eyes and smiled.
